bailey, everywhere
I'm Bailey, a small girl from a small town. I lived a year in Kyoto and I graduated from college in Chicago in June 2010. I lived in Boston for two years but it was a wash. I'm rebuilding from the ground up. I am intent on adventures. I like beautiful things, funny things, photography, Japan, and emoticaps. (I am a vegan in progress and sometimes it happens in public. I yell most frequently about religion, racism, "women's issues," feelings, and dresses.) My friends call me Etsuko. You write it like 悦子 and it is a very good name.
小さな町からの小さな女子ベイリー(悦子とも呼ばれてます、よく合った名前っす)です。一年間京都に住み、２０１０年６月にシカゴ大学から卒業しました。二年弱ボストンに住みましたが結局無駄でしたのでこれから完全なやり直し中。日常生活にも小さい冒険があると信じて過ごしています。趣味は美しいもの、おかしいもの、撮影、日本、とemoticaps。（只今ビーガン工事中でたまにその進歩も公にされます。頻繁に出て来る課題：宗教、人種主義、「女性問題」、感情、ワンピース。）どうぞ宜しくお願い致します♪
My new goal in life is to learn this dance.It’s funny that after three years of mori, watching this video really only makes me think, “what a TERRIBLE WAY to teach a dance.” Where’s the repetition? The person facing backwards so that the kids remember to do things in the right direction and with the right arms?
Why is it in EnglishI know it’s a video but COME ON MILEY
To Hanako’s very astute observations I would like to add: WHY is Miley in such a HURRY doing the diagonal thing and what the HELL kind of pantsLEGGINGS!?! is she wearing please FIRE whomever thought they were a good idea, because everyone is lookin’ slammin’ in they cool bright colors and puffy tennis shoes until chickface comes in in MAROON and BLACK with that stripe mess.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS (source) Can I submit this to Awkward Family Photos?

Why can’t fashion be beautiful anymore? I don’t want to wear whatever’s around, I want to make myself beautiful.

I think if everyone knew about this no one would hate him anymore, basically
My favorite thing about Meiji prints is how damn colorful they are! Also the clothes, which are too historically fabulous for words. (1887)
So what if I found it on the wikipedia page for bustles? I’m researching.
Well I’m not researching, and I say this is NEAT. 和風洋服 ftw.
