GAGA GONE WILD
WOULDN’T IT BE FUN…. if people were so creative when they go out? I am so bored to see everyone wearing either black, gray or beige at events or at meetings.
Yesterday I went shopping all day in Tokyo, shops after shops buying clothes, shoes and accessories for the shooting of my DVD series. I am going to shop again all day today. I have 2 pople following me and helping me carrying the bags or paying when I am done. You could not believe how fast I am when i shop, it is like if I had a radar founding the cool pieces. It has been years looking at fashion magazines!
My budget is HUGE, also I am having so much fun and I found some incredible outfits, accessories for the next seasons, exciting! I am actually wearing a black hair wig and sunglasses while shopping (!!!) so that people would not recognize me and I can go faster looking for the best from shop to shop.
Why can’t girls or women in general have to shop “SAFE”? I do not understand… everyone should wear something that match their personality. If you wear gray or beige, it means that you are spice less… is this really the message that you want to pass on, to people who meet you, about yourself?
Again, yesterday I was in a shop and I saw these 2 girls in their twenties. They were both wearing all black from head- to-toe, and guess what? They were looking to buy some more black!! I could not resist to show them a pair of shocking pink sandals to break their monotone-funeral-look. They did recognized me and actually bought the shoes. And me too!
Actually would you like me to take pictures of all he goodies that i bought and post it for you? I could include price and the name & location of the shop where I bought it? Would it make your life easier on the weekend to go shopping? Maybe I could even ask Maiko, our new winner, to be my standing model for the photos and you could see how the clothes look on her. Tell me if this is a good idea please and I will surely arrange? Anything for you my dear!!! I am at your service….
ワイルドなGAGA
みんなも出かける時の格好がこんなに個性的だったら・・・もっと楽しいのに！ イベントでもミーティングでも、みんなが黒やグレー、ベージュを着ているのはつまらないわ。
昨日は一日都内で買い物。私のDVDシリーズ撮影のための洋服や靴、アクセサリーを買うために、ショップを渡り歩いたのよ。今日も荷物持ちと支払いをしてくれる二人と一緒に、買い物に出かけたんだけど、私の買い物の速さにはみんなビックリ。私には、まるでステキなモノを見つけるレーダーがついてるみたい。ずっと長い間ファッション雑誌を読み漁った成果だと思うわ。
かなりのお金をつかったけど、すごく楽しかったわ。次シーズン用に、最高の洋服やアクセサリーを買えたの。黒いウィッグを被ってサングラスをしてショッピングしたから、誰も私だと気づかなかったわ。おかげで次から次へとドンドン買い物できたの。それにしても、「無難」なモノばかり買う女性が多いのはなぜ？もっとその人らしい個性的なものを買えばいいと思うのに。もしグレーやベージュを着てるなら、それはあなたがスパイス不足だという証拠よ。相手に与えるのがそんなつまらない印象で本当にいいの？
また昨日の話に戻るけど、あるショップで20代の女の子の二人組みにあったの。二人とも頭の先からつま先まで真っ黒。それなのに、まだ黒い服を買おうとしてたのよ。つい私は我慢できなくて、真っ黒なお葬式ルックにショッキングピンクのサンダルをあわせることを提案してみたの。彼女たちは私に気づき、そのサンダルを買ったわ。私とお揃いよ！
みんな、私が買ったモノの写真を撮ってアップするのをどう思う？値段と買ったお店の名前と住所も入れるのはどう？そうしたら、週末の買い物がもっと楽になるかしら？今年のMUJである麻衣子にモデルになってもらって写真を撮ったら、買った洋服のイメージがつきやすくなるかしら？これが良いアイデアだと思うなら、是非トライしてみるわ。大事なあなたのために喜んでさせてもらうわよ！

Ines that would be wonderful!
I would also love it if you could demonstrate with the same items different styles that would be more appropriate for women of different ages. For instance, I always find that a woman over 30 who tries too hard to dress like women in their 20s ends up just looking older and desperate. I am in my early 30s, which I know is still young, but I do not want to look like a girl. Could you please show us some professional looks that still have spunk, class, and sensuality? Thank you!

It’s a good idea to show your bloggers. It helps girls learn to be more stylish. Give people good ideas on how to put things together.
- RJ Says:
Yes, yes, yes, Ines!
Would want, love, and need more fashion posts and guidance from you.

That would be great! PLZ do take photoes of your shopping trophy!!
Big hug
- Micari Says:
That sounds brilliant!
It will help lots of Japanese women be stylish.
Also, having Maiko-san dressed them would be great!
We will be able to learn not only how to choose items but also how to show them beautifully.
It’d be wonderful if you added some comments that tell us why you chose them or how you will use them in other styles.
Thank you!

Ines, I need your help
If you could write about HOW TO BE NOT SILENT AMONG FOREGINERS. I read in the beauty camp book. That you kept telling Emiri – “Why do you make a mental wall in your heart?” And I thought about myself. I always make a barrior in my heart when I am among my friends from foregin countries such as America and Spain. When I dont understand what people are excitedly talking about for a while, I just become silent and get angry that they are not trying to talk to me.
I understand that they want to speak in their own language, with people who 100% understand them.But i feel very Wrong me being silent for long while. I want to speak up and offer some topic but I cant. I feel like I am going to be left alone again after 5 minutes, and I just grow my anger toward my friends talking in quick english or spanish.. which I cant follow.
You are in Japan for 13 years among japanese, and I know that your japanese is not perfect, and Japanese dont speak english well. So if you have any tips or advice for Japanese people who are trying to do successful outside of the country,(me) please let us know!!
I always try to think, If I was Riyo, what would i do??
But I say, well i dont understand and they are just not the right friends.. but I want to be open and energetic with many friends and always positive.Thank you so much for reading!!
always love you INES!!
- MAI Says:

- Yuu Says:
Yea it would be so nice!I can get the hints from the photo!!
En fait,j’etudie à paris maintenant,et j’ai trouvé le difference de vetement entre japonaise et française.
Je pense beaucoup de francaise met vetement tres “sexy” Mais au japon,il y a beaucoup de fills mettrent le vetement “cute”.
oops c’est pas la chose important,j’ai juste dit..oui…
well..je vous demande si il y a du magasin vetement qui je peux acheter les vetements originaux et vous recomendez à paris?
(et qui pas trops cher mais pas trop moins cher comme le de H&M ou Zara)
Excuse-moi de ma faut de français.I really don’t know WHAT suits me…
PLUS i am not tall and tend to look childish,so i am likely to choose darker clothes.
But I want to change myself wearing darker colors since it is spring!
SO hope I can have a role model through your blog!!!Bisous
