    Faking It To Make It

    Goth was all dark and bloody, but post-Goth? That would be Kegadoru, or "injured idol," a new Tokyo fetish-fashion craze. Girls wrap their heads and bodies in bandages — and eyepatches — for that "damaged doll" look some guys apparently love. (Guys who liked the torture porn film Hostel, perhaps?) White bandages are for "virginal grace" while black ones mean "wickedness." Look for Gwen Stefani in a full body cast any day now. [BoingBoing]
