    I always feel sorry for those people whose employers require them to wear such costumes. Besides looking silly it must be hot wearing something like that!

      Nah, she is just holding the sad face up, and it also just happened to be in front of her face.

    Love it. Does she stand there holding that thing in front of her face the whole time, or was this special for you?

      Cheers. I honestly don’t know. It was in Harajuku, which isn’t a place I generally frequent. But I’d like to think it was just for me!

        If it was for you, the people who usually give you the side-eye are going to need to up their game. She has really raised the standard 😀

    That is some awesome colour co-ordination and an awesome mis-match to the logo, which does make me think that you’re special.

      I know eh? Well, in regards colours and mis-matched logo that is. The special element, on the other hand, is very much up for debate!

      Yes, that’s what got me. She could not have placed it any better at all.
