1. Nana Kitade (北出 菜奈 Kitade Nana?, You never know what to expect when walking into an interview with someone like Nana Kitade. Following in the footsteps of Nami Tamaki, the nineteen-year-old gothic lolita icon is the latest self-styled J-Pop Princess to make a trip to America with the requisite fashion status and anime tie-in.

Like Tamaki, Kitade got an early break with a big show in Fullmetal Alchemist. And like her predecessor, Kitade has an enormous hype machine that always threatens to mask her talent. But Nana Kitade has also followed Nami Tamaki down a less frequented path: one that tempers the demands of a J-Pop Princess with the insights of an open, inquisitive artist.

2. Tim Walker's the pink pony

- this is a boy girl rock star, the name translates me and my other half...it's high end and if you mix and match it with grunge it could be cool..i don't think American girls are gonna deck themselves in alice wonderland gear, but i think it's cute. Sweet Lotila is hot, I also like pirate lolita, jane austen, alice wonderland, it's not goth, it's life style thing...the amadeus soundtrack, for more undestanding of more of the lifestyle of G.L, I am way into the squiggly pig girl/ 80s shirley temple pig curls, they are coming back, lets all do it at once.

4. Bennett Miller and Spike Jonez and NPR and dont' even ask

5. Giallo the genre:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giallo

 Giallo films starting with Suspira, i dont' have the patience for horror cause i have plenty in my life, studying Giallo led me to 13 plus 1, aha top that filmthreat readers, and i watched the whole thing! which led to arguements weather denuve was more beautiful in belle de jour or sharon tate with no make up which led to valley to the dolls because because all things led to valley to the dolls

6. The God Delusion is a book, if you don't want read the book then watch the 6 part series on you tube and if you that bores you which it shouldnt' at least, try to watch the string theory why is there 24 hours in a day, white dwarves, white hole black holes, star nusery, short vignattes that teach you physics for poets.

I've been a big fan of Gothic Lolita for some years now.

It's a big influence on my fashion design work at college :D

damn i wish i would of read this before i went to the book store for an hour. i'll definitely pick up that book. tim walker is amazing. apparently that photograph that you have on your main page of the woman with the tree of sweeties took hours to do because every little pastry had to be tied on the brances. i love that he still puts the work in things instead of like using photoshop like everyone else. and look at the after image. absolutely fabulous. one of my famous photos by him (is pretty typical) but i LOVe the woman on the stairwell. everything about it fits.

the pink pony reminds me of the j garland wizard of oz! where they finally arrive at the emerald city and get all glammed out and they trot out the colored horses. fucking loved that!!! especially as a toddler lol.

just checked out the god delusion page......
***He is sympathetic to Robert Pirsig's observation in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance that "when one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion."*** lolll.

reminds me of......"Health consists of having the same diseases as one's neighbors." --quentin crisp.......and courtney......you NEED to know about q crisp, if you dont already. i am BESOTTED with this man (in drag). read 'manners from heaven.' trust me......nice little life-changer! it's out of print but on amazon. he's got other books too which im sure are great but i can definitely vouch for that one.
oh and he's a brit!
and i love when you make the 'cool things' lists.
they get the wheels turning and are indeed very fan-friendly :D

SUSPIRIA changed my life - it's one of my four desert island films.


I think you should offer a song for Argento's new movie, which is called GIALLO.
That would be too much rock for one hand!

Oh Courtney, I LOVED Suspiria; have you ever been lucky enough to meet Dario Argento? I keep meaning to watch Tenebre and never get around to it...:(

Any other good giallo films you can recommend outside of Argento's stuff?

Hey Court- have you ever read Nana or anything by Ai Yazawa? I have a feeling you'd LOVE it! I do!


Full Metal Alchemist is so marketed at boys, but even a Shojo junkie like me can dig it.

Cool. Someday I want to have my own collection of previously worn pointe shoes, like your lotus shoes. Foot binding was so cruel...yet kind of beautiful. Disturbing.

Suspiria's not really a giallo, that was a move away from the giallo format into the fantastique. Bird w/ the Crystal Plumage was, that's my favorite Argento movie, Deep Red was great. Check out Aldo Lado's movies, Night Train Murders (which was a rip off of Last House on the Left) and Who Saw Her Die. Mario Bava's last 5 movies. As a rule of thumb, any giallo w/ a Morricone soundtrack.


I'm to understand that Lesage is the only place to go for lace.
You could probably get freebies, no? How does that work for international celebrities? Like, how many garments to you actually have to pay for?

i'm going to add checking out some kick ass female comedians in L.A. - the last bastion of sexism. you think rock is bad? hah. women are still like .05th's of a person in comedy. check out anything girls do at UCB theatre in l.a. or largo.
