Hahah, totally! And I could make someone switch the plug for one that fits my cellphone. Or, you know, not play the incompetent little woman to get people to do stuff for me just because I'm lazy, and do it myself.
Only devoted nerds would even know what you were hinting at, and to everyone else, it would just enhance your music lover credibility. "Wearing headphones in a nightclub? Damn, she's hard." Either way, you win.
Hah. I'm not sure that's how people would see it, they're kind of used to me and my getups around here... But it would be a nice touch if I could make it functional, somehow. "Accessories" like that are always little tricky to pull off, I think - like the half-masks that are apparently rather fashionable among the kids, and those mass-produced fancy goggles with spikes and prints on the eyeglasses, it becomes silly in the extreme if you don't manage to make it look at least like you might get some actual use out of them.
Yeah, those goggles are ridiculous. You never know when a welding competition, or a WWI aerial dogfight might break out, and spikes and neon biohazard symbols superimposed over your field of vision can't help.
My rifle bandolier, on the other hand? Eminently practical.
But they are convincing within the Harajuku context, and they also work from a completely different cultural context than mine - I don't get it at all, really, so I can't be critical of that.
