Okay, everyone, while I was at home slowly recovering (still recovering, btw) from my respiratory infection, one of the few things I had enough brain cells to do was to watch the Kamikaze Girls DVD our 18-year-old page lent me. This is a kick-butt excellent movie about two Japanese teenage girls who are radically different types of extreme nonconformists (extreme by Japanese standards, which is really saying a lot!!)
If you are interested in subcultures, Japan, nonconformists, the bizarre things to which some teenage girls devote their daily lives, the rococo period, or what the Japanese call a 'Yanki' (yes, that's a reference to us here in the States) you should see this movie. You should see it anyway.
The book it's based on is pretty cool too, but the movie is better.
If you access the link, you may figure out the title of this posting...
