IMPORTANT: REQUEST!

I'm doing a presentation for my Asian American Sexualities class on Gender Transgression in Japanese Visual Kei (and all related genres) and how it's subsequently affected a subculture of teenagers/young adults globally.

What I need:
1. Photos of you (or your friends with permission? or links to people you know of?) that have obvious Visual/Angura/Eroguro/Oshare influences!
OR
2. Band suggestions, meaning I'm looking for photos of bands that have a particularly feminine/androgynous image (or just a few members) but heavy sound. I will be playing a few short song clips and maybe a music video if I have time for it.

Deadline: Wednesday, December 6, 2006.

(Tentative) List of Bands:
- X Japan/hide (er, to show the evolution of the genre)
- Dir en grey
- Kagerou
- Luvie
- -OZ-*
- G.O.Z VII
- Shoujo Lolita 23ku
- Shinkou Shuukyou Gakudan NoGoD*
- Dari*
- Spider lily*
- KuRt
- Billy*
- Aikaryu*
- Sadie*

Bands influenced by Japanese Visual Kei:
- Silver Ash
- RENYU
- The TRAX

* = Bands that I am trying to find more clear photos of. I only have that one infamous naked picture of Billy in my magazine -___-;;

NOTE: It doesn't have to be photos of you crossdressing, although that would be...kind of preferred. And I'm grouping Gothic Lolita into Visual Kei because some of the biggest Gosurori icons are in the VK scene.

Uh, I'll also be kind of busy this week with an exam, so if you could kindly post any images under comments, it would be appreciated.
