Hello Kitty, Welcome to Sushi

SUSHI ART.
I know, genius. Just when you thought there was no possible way the Japanese could further incorporate cutesy anime into their culture, they gone did it again, and this time the japanese people are literally consuming it. Not to mention it looks delicious (or at least adorable!)

Now for some shirts that I'm obsessed with and that Emma will hate:
ALAKAZAM! More than just a dramatic transition, it is also the name of the british clothing and graphic novel label http://alakazamlabel.com/ Is it too hipster? Are witty shirt sayings as over as Jojo's career? Maybe. But it tingles at my aesthetic sense and makes me smile, an effect that compensates for its frown-uponable kitsch.

*ehem* yes that is the flying dog thing from the neverending story. and yes it is riding a scooter.

M.I.Luminescent.

Welcome to "How to Bioluminesce!" the blog dedicated to finding fashion, music, movies and anything and everything else that will make you glow from the inside with inspiration and glee!

To kick it off, here is an example of bioluminescence as it goes down in nature:

And here's bioluminescence as it goes down on the streets:

Which brings me to my first BIOLUMINSCENT SPECIMEN: M.I.A.

Born Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam, the fiery musical juggernaut now known as "M.I.A." injects so much life and color into dance clubs and hipster's ipods across the world that it is only natural that her style has the same energetic force as her beats. An iridescent fusion of Sri Lanka, England, Africa and her own outrageous self, M.I.A. acheives the coveted "effortless cool" without in any way resembling a bag lady (an impressive feat in the MK&A age.) I am in awe of the dangerous way she busts tacky into tribal, combining things that by all the unwritten rules of "not looking like a whore" should never be combined, yet pulling it off with the confidence of a ctenophore (see biolumenescence web page)

Here is my humble attempt to match her shine:

Pair this ill Stussy shirt with some sequined insanity, add some magenta tights and color-blocked sneakers and I guarentee rays of light will be circling you within the hour.
