Hi! ๐ Iโm cybr.grl / kristina ๐๐
I create colorful clothing โก๏ธ & I make videos on Harajuku kawaii culture โก๏ธ โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐ You can also find me here โก๏ธ ๐ ๐
when people get so used to fast fashion & amazon prices that they start harassing small businesses & artists for being โoverpricedโ.....thatโs not cute
Y'ALL THERE'S MORE
The collection is called "Decora Pop" and they even have storage boxes and fluffy bags and other characters like hello kitty, my melody, & pompompurin too!!!!!!!!!
It really saddens me but I have been getting an influx of people saying that they donโt support LGBTQ+ but that they love colors and rainbows. If you donโt support LGBTQ+, you donโt support me or my friends. And I would prefer not to have those kinds of people in my community.
Good morning! Woke up to being posted on a cringe compilation page, life goals accomplished ๐๐ผ Thinking of getting my name legally changed to Kringetina hmmmm ๐ค /j
On a more serious note though, Iโve come to understand that Iโm not everyoneโs cup of tea so
People need to understand the difference between cultural appropriation & appreciation. An overseas idol singing in Japanese is not appropriation. A black girl wearing gyaru is not appropriation. It is possible to respectfully exchange cultures.
Normalize the idea that wearing cute clothes has no age limit! You can be 30 and wear pastels! You can be 69 and wear rainbows! There is literally no rule that you have to stop dressing cute once you turn 18 ๐
One of the reasons why I love Decora is because of how accessible it is. It was started by regular kids on the streets
The ethos of this fashion is finding cheap little trinkets & crafting so you def do not have to pay $20 for a rainbow bracelet
Decora is for everyone
taobao has some pretty cool designers who create pieces for harajuku / alt fashion sorta stuff but it can be kinda hard to find them so here is a thread of my finds (that i'll try to continuously update) starting with one of my faves lutrajump @ ๐งต
Currently on the way to Houston for the craft party and reminiscing on my Decora journey (ยด. .ฬซ .`) เผุ เคเธฑเนเพ ๐ญ Iโve been wearing this fashion for 6 years now and I can say with absolute certainty that this style has changed my entire life
As some may know my whole existence is very colorful. It is not my intention to hurt others with eyestrain (but as always intent does not erase impact/harm) so would it be best for me to add a tw: eyestrain for my posts & videos or is there any other way for me to help? /gen
If anyone is into Uchuu Kei, I highly recommend @/magical_ulalaโs brand Kiss Me Kill Me (this pic was from when Fickle Wish was still around rest in peace T_T)! Ulalaโs brand is back and you can check out the pieces for sale @ ๐๐๐๐ฝ๐พ๐ธ
people need to stop undervaluing artists & designers and understand that there is a reason things are priced a certain way (cost of materials, labor, shipping, etc.) just so that they can survive in this world
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
Very disappointed to see Pokรฉmon x Takeshita Street blatantly trace Nicoโs face to make art without her permission. You could have just paid her to collaborate as a model or even the bare minimum ask her if itโs okay.
Gwen Stefani recently said "My God, I'm Japanese" in an interview with Allure so I did a deep dive video into her history as an artist, where her "Harajuku Girls" are now, the difference between cultural appropriation & appreciation, and the importance of Asian representation
Hello everyone Mary Poppins just called me threatening that I need to apologize for impersonating her and to clarify that it was just these clothes that were in that one bag. I am very sorry. Identity theft is no joke
ITS LIKE CLOCKWORK EVERY YEAR THEY JUST TAKE AND STEAL AND TAKE AND STEAL. Thank you to this kind soul on Instagram for alerting me about this. Iโm at my wits end
why do people treat those who wear alt fashion like we arenโt human but instead characters that are incapable of wearing anything but alt fashion to funerals, job interviews, sleep, etc. ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ
Watching this Decora Girlz dolls ad & thinking about the Sanrio Decora Pop collectionโฆmakes me so happy that Decora is really out there!!! This is so rare so I hope through these things more ppl will get to know Decora & have fun with this fashion too! ๐
I love
@aliyahInterlude
โs style so much, itโd be a dream come true to do a style swap with her! I could dress her up in Decora / Harajuku fashion & I wanna try aliyahcore too ๐โค๏ธ
โ ๏ธ Kawaii Culture exists. The kawaii movement exists. Kawaii Fashion exists. Please look into it & stop invalidating this now global culture/movement. And please stop harassing people who are participating in it (especially black women!!) Do your research, do better. โ ๏ธ
For anyone unaware, SHEIN (& Romwe) have stolen designs from countless artists & designers. This website () lists over 30+ & credits the original if youโd like to support them instead. SHEIN is also currently facing a lawsuit concerning RICO violations
Hey
@SHEIN_Official
! You emailed me to collaborate a few months back and I declined - did you just decide to sell my art anyways on your platform?
C'mon now.
I now have worms spilling out of my closet ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ Will update this thread with new changes as I continue working on rainbow room 3.0 ๐๐
Got an ad for this style encyclopedia that has v-kei, lolita, gyaru, decora, fairy kei, mori, etc in it (but isnโt that a drawing of Mai that tokyo fashion took years ago, they just changed the leg warmers, plus the acdc rag shoes & 6%dokidoki suspender skirt) ๐๏ธ๐๐๏ธ
100k cybr cuties on YouTube!!! โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐๐๐ THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SOOOOOO SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!! I decorated my silver play button with various stickers Iโve collected over the years from places like Daiso & my fave
@miniSUPER_
! โจ
full winter Decora fit pics!! โ๏ธ๐ hehe I like how you can kinda see Kylo in the corner, heโs always right by my side my baby my little cutie patootie!!!!!!
It took about 4 or 5 trash bags for these clothes ๐ Iโm still working on this closet, I plan on removing the doors & putting my rainbow boxes for hats and accessories on the shelf. Might put my beaded curtain in front of the closet but we shall see ~
Iโd like to share the realities of making YouTube your job bc ppl often think that having 100k subscribers = having $100k. This is not me complaining, I knew the risks before getting into this. But I made less than $400 for the entire month. Thatโs less than minimum wage.
Shein is a weak bandaid for the many serious problems that exist in our world. Why canโt ppl find clothing larger than an XL? Why canโt ppl afford to buy appropriately priced clothing? We all need to band together to fight these issues in the fashion industry & society.
Iโm a very cheap person and Iโm plus sized so itโs hard to find the clothes I like in my size for a small price.Shein and Romwe have them easily accessible but that is not an excuse for me to buy from there. Itโs better to not get them then to get them through harming others
As an adult, it can be tiring being told by strangers & some ppl you know that you need to stop dressing in cute & colorful clothes. I can see why itโs hard for ppl to continue dressing how they want to as they get older. But I hope you know that you are not alone ๐
