GabalStory wigs. For a cute, natural look.

Lately I've been considering buying some wigs. This may sound silly to some people here in the Western Hemisphere. However, attitudes towards wigs are slightly different in East Asia, where wigs and hairpieces are seen as great ways to easily get the hair you may not be able to grow or style on your own.

I, personally am terrible with hair. My hair is so thick that blow drying and straightening anything other than my bangs takes well over 30 minutes. I am left with flat, boring-looking hair. To my great happiness, I found some natural looking wigs (at least in their photos) that are rather affordable on gabalstory.com. They average around $25-$30 and they have a great selection of styles in both female and male wigs!

Each wig comes with a rather extensive photo shoot, showing the wigs in different angles and styles. However, you must watch out! I swear that I got a major inferiority complex looking at the models. They are JUST.TOO.CUTE. I know I will never look like they do in the wigs, but that won't stop me from giving it a try!

Like Chatroulette but with a lot less P33N*!

KittehRoulette is a great website for any Youtube cat video addict, or just someone looking for a cuter, less trauma-inducing version of Chatroulette! You can randomly click through cute cat videos to your heart's content! It's so much more convenient than having to wade though all the garbage on Youtube that is not cat videos, just to get to the measly 1,000,000,000,000 cat videos on youtube. My only complaint is that it's not named "CatRoulette", because it rhymes much better with "Chatroulette".

*Yes, I did say that in the title. Crude, I know.

You can't eat these Pocky, but you can eat with them!

Now, I know Pocky and J-List are rather Otakuesque (not that there is anything wrong with that). However, I can't help but love these Pocky chopsticks they sell! I'm in love with all things sweets-themed and I think these chopsticks would look adorable with Decotti-style sweets deco, similar to what I have seen in Deco and Deco magazine.

Swimmer Makes the cutest Headphones in the World.

It's no mystery that Swimmer is a cute lover's one-stop-shop for cute and affordable headphones. However, I couldn't help myself from posting some up. This pair in particular, caught my eye. I love the hearts and the pink/lilac color combination! I also love that they fold up for easy storage.


I am Maru Review

There are only three movies that I can watch over and over, day after day. I am Maru (Maru Desu) just happens to be one of them. For over a year I have been watching videos of this adorable box-sliding, round-faced cat. He takes up a large space on my Youtube favorites, and a small little space of my box-shaped heart.

When I saw that Maru released a DVD, I knew that I had to get it! Let me tell you something: IT IS WORTH THE $30.00! Not only do you get to see him play in boxes, as usual. You also get to see footage not previously shown online. On top of that, the whole movie is captioned in both Japanese and English!

The film starts out with basic information on Maru and a background story (i.e. when he was born, how tall he is, how much he weighs, why his name is Maru (it means "round" in Japanese). Through out the movie you get to see him eat, play in the bath, go for a walk in the garden, get brushed, play with his toys, and much more! In between each segment you get to see some short footage of his grooming routine (brushing his teeth and watching him use the litter box are just two examples).

The special features are just as adorable! You can watch extra footage of him playing in the bathtub, shown in a comic book panel format as well as watch Maru's "Top 10 Slide-ins"! Last, but not least of the special features is Maru's photo slideshow. It features pictures of almost every aspect of Maru's life.

Overall, after watching this movie, I felt very close to Maru. You get to learn so much about him, it's almost as if you personally know him. I am Maru is a very intimate and tasteful look into Maru's life that will melt your heart! If you are a fan of Maru, or even just a cat lover, I promise that this movie will not disappoint!
