I knew it was going to take a while but when it was late I thought it had vanished into the Great Asian Parcel Eater where things disappear on their way from the far east to the UK. For the uninitiated, the Gothic Lolita Bible is a Japanese mook all about Japanese Lolita fashion. For everything you'll ever need to know about Lolita visit:
I've always been interested about fashion and when I discovered Japanese fashion a few years ago I was amazed that I'd never seen it before and also how it constantly evolves. My favourite has to be Gothic Lolita as I'm into all things gothic and fantastical (I am, however, not a Goth).
What I didn't expect to find in the parcel was this fabulous Asumiko Nakamura diary:
Asumiko Nakamura is a manga artist who specialises in Yaoi or boys' love manga. I've never read any Yaoi (definitely not my thing) but I've seen her artwork and it's lush:

Some of her work reminds me of Aubrey Beardsley's work:

Her work has also appeared on dresses from Baby The Stars Shine Bright:

Apologies for the small images but Blogger won't let me resize them (aaargh!)
