Unforeseen scenery

The gentleman on the left is either using his hand to explain something, or alternatively as a barrier to shield his eyes from his companion’s rather unladylike posture.

japanese transvestite cosplay

I’ll let you decide which one.

    her posture screams “do you like my pink garnment?”

    hehe I found it interesting, that for once someone has found a man dressed as a amarori (aka sweet lolita) that doesn’t actually look female, and can’t really be mistaken for one, eg. Mana-sama from the band Moi Dix Mois ex member of Malice Mizer.

    Just thought it might be something useful for you to know ^_^

    And he’s underage…

    I was there in Harajuku that day. The guy, the one in the dress, was about 6’5″. It was a very weird site to see.

    Not sure who the person on the left it, but the right is definitely Michael Jackson on holidays.
