Jrock Revolution

Sorry for the lack of updates on this blog!  I'll be trying to post little things here and there when I can until I have more time and such. :)

I recently got my copy of the latest volume of the Gothic & Lolita Bible!  Alice in Wonderland is the theme for this volume, if you can't tell by the cover, and it has the usual features you would expect from this mook, some of which I will share here now:

We've got the regular writings of Takarano Arika from ALI PROJECT

A four page spread of Angelic Pretty's latest items, all of which will be given away as presents to lucky readers who send in their enquete

Emily the Strange meets Gothic & Lolita Bible

A feature look at the latest items from classic lolita brands like Victorian Maiden and Mary Magdalene

A feature on the 3 keys for the lolita and gothic styles.  For lolita it's stuffed animals, frills and lace, and ribbons...

...and for gothic it's crosses, black lace, and corsets

Black Peace Now and Peace Now from the regular new season's collections section

Mana modeling the latest from his brand as usual

And as always, the snaps section (you can see Angelic Pretty designers maki and asuka on the top left!)

Also included are Emily the Strange stickers, a section on stying wigs, an article on Courtney Love, and more.

Share your thoughts on this volume on the forum!
