J-Rock Ramblings

That is, how to become a girl like Mana! Here's a guide to looking just as cute and pretty as the one who started it all! This guide can serve for guys or girls.

The first step is the eyes. You can't have eyes that are not visible from down the street or that are never mistaken as big shiny jewels. So the more eyeshadow and eyeliner, in eye popping color, the better. You can also add those long fake lashes and trace a few lashes on your cheeks just to be sure they aren't hidden under all that eyeshadow and eyeliner.

Next, change the color of your eye! If it's black or brown, it's too dull! You need a vibrant blue or green, maybe even red for more effect, to emphasize all that make up even more!

Also, you want to make sure your eyebrows are nice and thin, long and dark. You want those eyebrows that give you a constant look of surprise. This will help with the sweet and innocent girl look.

The face is next! The whole face needs to be covered in white powder to make you look almost translucent. This helps with the doll like effect.

The lips need to be a nice brilliant color like red, pink or even blue, which Mana loves. But don't just trace your lips with the lipstick! You need to make them even bigger and more shapely by surpassing the lips natural line.

The hair is also important. If you want a doll like look, or lolita-esque look, make two ponytails at each side of your head and curl strands with a curling iron. Very simple. Just don't forget bangs. You may also just get a wig. Same thing. If you want a more punk look, just gel and hairspray them all up in a weird way like the top picture. Easy!

One thing you should not forget is the bow. Or flower. Something really girly for you hair. Very important. Maybe even a crown, to make you feel like a princess.

Props are also important to add that extra touch. A nice cute little teddy bear and some rings or earings can go a long way!

Finally, the clothes. You should wear very lolita looking dresses in beautiful floral patterns or goth like colors depending on your tastes. The dresses should have a good amount of lace, ribbons, puffyness, or layers. A pair of gloves, stockings, and shoes finishes the look!

Now for the guys out there: don't worry about breasts. Does Mana? Nope. Besides, what ten year old girl has breasts?

An ideal place to get your clothes is from Mana himself! He has this wonderful line of clothes called Moi-meme-Moitie that comprises of endless fashion designs for all you girl wanna-be's!
