    I must have that dress. I must! Never mind the fact that it probably costs more than my yearly salary and I have no place or occasion to wear it.

    I love the 1960s hair and makeup... she looks like a more arty version of an image from an advertisement or cosmetic package from that era.

    I have always lamented not being able to buy clothing in Japan. I love so much of what they wear - okay I also hate a lot of stuff too - but even my skeleton wouldn't be able to fit in the sizes available.

    I took a friend with me on one of my trips to Japan and had serious envy, she found the cutest pair of heels. Their largest size was still 3 sizes too small for me.

    Next time I go back I might see about snagging some magazines. It is always fun to see how outfits are put together.

    Lookbook and streetstyle is huuuge in Japan. Just hanging out near fashion week in Paris/London/NY, you see hordes of Japanese photographers and magazines getting photos of everyone-- not just the models.

    @Beets.Go.On is the Fat Yogini: If you live in an area with a Japanese population (look around, you'd be surprised) you may be able to find them in specialty grocery markets or bookstores.

    If you live in NYC, you can pop into Kinokuniya.

    If you have the patience of job and generally do not overdraft your accounts, you can subscribe through J.List - I have issues with the site, but they are one of the only sources of export for a lot of things I like. They also have a tendency to be late on deliveries and do things like charge for two or three issues at once.

    @Beets.Go.On is the Fat Yogini: Sasuga books (sasugabooks.com) as well as Amazon offer overseas subscriptions. Subscribing is way too pricey for me :(. It's pretty easy to find individual copies on ebay and other sites.

    This "look-book" format is so much more interesting and informative than the Vogue/Elle/Marie Claire format. Every once in a while I get a yen for fashion and go buy a magazine, but the magazine usually leaves me feeling empty and dumb, and destroys my fleeting sartorial curiosity. I feel like these would satisfy my occasional fashion lust. I think I'm going to go change my clothes now.

    Does anyone know of any websites online or stores to get this stuff? I've tried looking before, but have encountered a hard time due to the language barrier and currency exchange.

    I recently stumbled across a Japanese magazine at an Asian market called Huge, which consistently portrayed men as aesthetically appealing and extremely fashionable. Many images contained thin male models wearing make-up, with long hair, arranged in sexual poses to promote products. This and similar publications serve to reaffirm my position that gender is a social construct.

    @sydbarrettsaves, emissary of hell: One of my favorite things about male Japanese fashion was the hair barrettes. Giant plastic barrettes were all over the most fashionable guys, and they wore very interesting clothing, with lace and ruffley things. Of course, lots of guys weren't into that sort of thing, but low-cut shirts, long, pointy shoes and tight jeans were the high fashion of 2006. I thought it was great.

    I also found it interesting that men would pretend to hit on each other, the same way that women do in America. Girls thought it was the greatest thing ever, and they did it for that reason. It was like a mirror of the American love of "lesbians".

    @boxspelunker: That's really interesting. This was my first experience reading a men's magazine that did not solely rely upon using women to convey sexual appeal. My eyes grew as big as saucers with each turn of the page.

    @sydbarrettsaves, emissary of hell: In a way, it's really nice to look at very pretty men as well as pretty women. But I wonder how many eating disorders and all that crop up from the obvious ideal - thin, willowy and slouchy. I know my friends put a lot of pressure on each other to not be "fat", and would openly call each other so. They made one guy run after them because he was "too fat". It was clearly a bonding, jokey thing, but I'm sure some people were actually hurt by it.

    The last time I tried to rock Japanese fashion, I thought it'd be fun to try a "layered jean" look I found on the internet. You cut the top of a pair of jeans and then wore that under a second pair of jeans. That? Did not go over so well in my small town suburban/urban high school.

    This looks MUCH more doable.

    I wish USA mags were more like look-books. They seem more practical and useful fashion wise.

    @MargaretMoony: I've been enjoying Lucky magazine lately because of this. (I got it automatically when another magazine went under.) No sex & diet advice, no navel gazing angst from the top 10%, just pages and pages of, say, messenger bags in all price ranges, or how to combine yellow and gray in several different silhouettes. Check it out.

    Oooh, I really like this. Is there any way that I can subscribe to get these magazines delivered here? Is it ultra expensive? A lot of these looks seem like they can be done with a combo of J. Crew and Forever 21. I am intrigued.

    @LAmonkeygirl: Thank you! I prefer to have the print magazine in my hand so I can cut out pieces and mix and match. It looks like it's going to cost a pretty penny, though.
