Now I’ll admit that I’m no style guru. Give me a t-shirt and a pair of sneakers (oh, and some jeans I guess) and I’m more than happy. But even with my limited knowledge of style, I’m well aware that yamamba fashion is neither cool nor stylish. Take a look at them.
Yet as bizarre as they look, I do find them fascinating in a freakish kind of way. And whether you like it or not, they’ve certainly gone through a lot of trouble to achieve their desired look. The hours spent down at the tanning centre alone must measure in the hundreds.
Sadly though their numbers are slowly dwindling, and pretty soon they could well be extinct. So this may be your last chance to jump on the Yamamba bandwagon. I’ve already bought the white eye make-up and hair dye, but the only problem now is my pasty white skin…
There's also the option of following Tokyo Times by full feed RSS, and now Twitter too.

I ~love~ extreme fashions – isn’t ANY aesthetic better than a dull one ? extreme fashion is fun to wear, fun to look at, and fun to laugh at (sometimes) – yamamba gals : never die !
This is a cool website about yamambas and japanese stuff http://spaces.msn.com/members/yamambafansite/
