Why hello, I am a dork. How are you?
Guess who has her very own Cross Tattoo Bracelet, ala Yuki from Vampire Knight?
That's right, ME.
Sadly, I do not have a gorgeous and reluctantly Vampire Boy to subdue with it.
The caption is deadly accurate - the bracelet is intended for those with small wrists, ie, teeny Japanese people of originating country, and while I do not have massively thick wrists, I do hail from a predominately agricultural/peasant ancestry. I tried to buck that entire trend by becoming an art/English major in university, but I will just never have delicate wrists, unless I decide to stop eating. And even then I doubt that - of all the places to lose weight from the body, I fail to see how they would just drop dramatically from my wrists.
Seriously, though. I didn't even have to drive to my nearest Japanese bookstore to pick up the March issue of LaLa, where this delightful little gem is included. I had my friend L do it - I Geeked Out By DELEGATION. That is how much more of a dork I am over you all. Anyway, here is the issue of LaLa:
Apologies for the bad quality/lighting of the picture - I was too lazy to scan the magazine cover, so I took digital pictures of it instead. The colors are not quite that saturated.
The box that the bracelet came in:
The bookstore my friend bought it from offered the magazine at 10% off, so if you live in Southern California, it should run you about $7.00 with tax.
Since I've been riding high on a dorama kick lately - and marathoning Hana Yori Dango s1 so I can compare it to the currently running second series, naturally I've been thinking of other potential live action manga adaptations. And because my brain has been stuck in "squee" mode over Yamapi & Maki, I've been trying to come up with mangas where they played the main couple WITH MAKING OUT, OMG, GET ON IT, TBS.
Ahem. Anyway. Vampire Knight? With Maki as Yuki and Yamapi as Zero? They even look like the drawings. Oh, there has to be manips to follow.
I finally received a new manga shipment at work, so will be posting about new and newish shojo series and all the cliches they hit. I have a pretty sizeable backlog of manga I read and purchase, so I'm glad one perk of my job is the ability to borrow books - otherwise I'd be poorer than I already am.
