POPTEEN

P o p t e e n
Today my mother arrived home from work with the prettiest bag with the best contents possible, all ready for me. My mother has the hook-up, having a friend who is Japanese who she struck a deal with while ago...so whenever her friend returns home from Japan, she brings pop-teen magazine along with her. I blogged about Popteen back when I was fresh from returning from Japan HERE . It is an adorable and aesthetically pleasing, quintessentially Japanese magazine.
The models are just gorgeous, despite them being rather fake-looking, due to Japan's obsession with perfection.
The pages are filled with cute peace sign poses and crazy Japanese fashion, if you can get your hands on it- i recommend getting it! The layouts are so garnished, full of little cartoon hearts and sparkles. So great to look at.
This issue will bring me hours of amusement...despite me being unable to read Japanese.
au revoir.
