Well, I was recommending for the people who want to know what EGL is and see some examples of it. For those kinds of people, I doubt they'll be looking for sewing patters and stuff. *heh* Once you decide that you like EGL, then I'd say it is a good time to invest in one of the bibles. Kera's a good start for those new to EGL, or Japanese fashion in general.

also doshi, do you know of any Japanese mags that are punk only? Not really the lolita stuff but just punk stuff? I haven't been able to find any...

Hmm.. that I'm not too sure on. Outside of EGL, my fashion tastes are more along the lines of Gals stuff. Plus, part of the problem (?) is that there are just so many magazines that come out in Japan. It's wonderful when you're over there and you can browse at a bookstore to see what you like, but when trying to order from an import shop, it can be overwhelming. Plus, most import shops never begin to get close to carrying everything that's out there.

haha yeah, you're right! I mean, i love looking at all the EGL girls and all, but I like seeing a mix of guys and girls, and even though theres some in GLB, you usually cant tell if it's a guy or a girl anyway!!!

but thanks anyway, i feel ya....I can only pick up Arena 37 once in awhile, *If* (and that's a BIG if) Kinokuniya happens to have a smashed copy lying in back. and that's a pretty popular j-rock mag....so....well, guess I have another thing to look for when i take a trip to the orient one of these days....ho hum
