☆☆Am I Harajuku? (*^o^*) No. I doubt that my Japanese hubby (here in Japan) would be thrilled with that. But I see the Harajuku style often when in that area and on the train. What do some of them look like? Well see for yourself!:

"Harajuku refers to the area around Tokyo's Harajuku Station, one station north of Shibuya on the Yamanote Line. It is the center of Japan's most extreme teenage cultures and fashion styles, but also offers shopping for grown-ups and some historic sights.
The focal point of Harajuku's teenage culture is Takeshita Dori (Takeshita Street) and its side streets, which are lined by many trendy shops, fashion boutiques, used clothes stores, crepe stands and fast food outlets geared towards the fashion and trend conscious teens."
