NUDE N RUDE IS OFFENSIVE. AND HORRIBL..Y CUTE GOTH FOR THE KAWAII ERA.
「あかるい絶望」とテーマにする高円寺の秘密基地NUDE N RUDEはカワイイ時代のゴスパンク天国 Nude n Rude doesn’t sugarcoat what they’re all about: being highly offensive. A small shop that is on the fringe of the city as well as the fringe of society, it’s a bit of a hat trick since from the outside it appears to be kind of a pop-lingerie shop. It’s dolled

And yet I was lucky to
MAME WRITES STORIES FROM OLD PHOTOS, POSSESSES HER COLLECTION WITH THEM. SS 2013 IS EVIL GOOD.

But perhaps it’s less luck and more that the ex-Issey Miyake designer is both a commercial and artistic genius, knowing
