Escaping into nights, I told myself
That I was not all alone
But after all, it revealed
Nothing but my loneliness day by day
On my way home from the bustle of the city
Though it was no different from any other day
I thought I would repeat such pattern of life
And tears welled up suddenly
Feeling weak and wretched
Uneasy and lonely
I wanted some warmth
In a faint voice
But it was certain you appeared suddenly
And a ray of light shone in my darkness
You smiled a little, told me it's all right with a nod
Took my hand and started to walk
I saw an angel's wings on your back
It was not because I wanted to be dull to pain
That I wished to be strong
I was helped and supported by you
We gave and forgave each other
I got what I wanted to protect
On that day
Sometimes you are too unprotected
And come face to face with me with all your might
It's so dazzling
That I don't have time for a blink
You have an angel's wings on your back
I heartily hope that you will not be a victim
Of this sad age
I sing this song today just as I pray
So that my dearest wish will reach you
"ANGEL'S SONG - Hamasaki Ayumi"
I wonder how many prayers will I need to say so that you can feel happier. Because if anything, I can't be any happier when you're not.
So anyway, this post should be done yesterday night but the lazy me can only delay it till tonight. So tonight's post will be divided into 2 parts.
So anyway, if anyone is like me, noticing the styles of celebrities and their fashion etc, you will notice one very important thing.
You will get an easier life being a fashion designer for females, as compared to males.
WHY?
Because there are just more ideas for females. Let's analyze this, shall we? (Discontinue reading if you're not interested in fashion, instead skip to Part 2 for more lyrics and a PINK discussion.)
So, everyone knows that some dresses/apparel for women have glitter on them. It's shiny, it's pretty, it's nice. Ever imagine Brad Pitt or someone like him wearing a tuxedo with glitter on it on the red carpet? No? It's natural anyway. Because no male celebrity has worn a glitter tuxedo/suit/shirt/whatever on the red carpet before. Just on this one, fashion designers have one less idea to design clothing for men. That being said, it's of course feasible for them to design clothing with glitter for men, just don't be afraid to get flamed for making them look gay. Why is glitter gay anyway?
Next, how many colors on female celebrities clothing have you seen? Black, white, silver, gold, red, yellow, orange, green, brown, purple, pink, and many more. How about men? Black, DARK blue and er, that's about all. And maybe white too but that's pathetic. Why hasn't anyone thought of designing some pink shirt or even a rainbow one for men? I'm speechless as I contemplate this. Hmm. Why is pink gay anyway?
So, there are a lot of designs for women. You get bareback, low cut, dress, skirt, blouse, or even androygous (I think that's the correct spelling.) But what about men again? Tuxedos, suits. That's ALL. I find hard to imagine any male celebrities wearing shorts to the red carpet. There's mini-skirts for women right? Perhaps it's the leg hair. That's why all male singers wear lonnnngggg pants in their concerts. It's getting boring. Is leg hair gay? Omg. If it isn't, then I don't know why shorts are not in vogue.
Then there's jewels. Women have necklaces, bracelets, brooches, earrings, rings and many more. Men? It's quite rare to see a male celebrity wearing rings, or earrings. Tsk tsk tsk. Are jewels a taboo for men? Omg, even women are keeping dogs, MEN'S best friend now. So why can't men wear a woman's best friend? Oh well.
Lastly, hair. Bob, bangs, fringes, long hair, medium-long hair, androygous (correct me if I'm wrong please) hair, many more. Those are all on women. Bob/short hair is apparently in style now, with the likes of Rihanna, Ayu, Cyndi, Jolin, Angela. Long hair of course is not bad either with the likes of Britney Spears and er I can't think of anyone else for now cos bob/short hair is really in vogue now. For men? I admit that longer hair is getting popular now, but except for being bald which is ugh fugly, what other styles can men have that women won't want to have?
So, looking at this, are you going to agree that it's much harder to do design clothes for men?

Part 2.
I keep on singing
So that my voice may reach you
I tell you
And I'd like you
To tell someone
"You are not alone"
Once we talked and thought
About the distant future
We are now standing at that place
We dreamed fantasies
In our infancies
They are now unfolding surreally before our eyes
But I never forgot your profile
When you said firmly
With tears in your eyes
That you would never be beaten
I keep on singing
So that my voice may reach you
I hope that you will walk on without giving up
Till the time we can meet again
Please show me your usual smile then
One thing I've realized is
This road will continue as before
Whatever wind may blow us
Under the sky of whatever color
You might as well smile
I leave this song here
Instead of saying good-bye
I hope you will walk on without giving up
Till the time we can meet again
Even if you may sometimes shed a secret tear
"Replace - Hamasaki Ayumi"
I hope that you will never give up, at least for yourself.
Anyway, as I have promised, a pink discussion.
In the hospital, where babies are give birth. The room where they're all kept at, there are blue and pink blankets. Blue means boy, pink means girl.
Many years later, the girl could be donning a blue blouse, or a blue dress but everyone would not find that a big deal. But if the boy wore a pink shirt or something like that, people will be looking at him strangely as though he made a mistake.
Why?
Why is pink associated with girls all the time? Cos it's 'soft'? That's so, a ridiculous explanation. I think one day, people might just band pink from boys.
I'm so stunned by how the imbalance is... People keep saying that women are like sexually discriminated and all that. Utter BS. Duh, women keep so many things that tradition has bestowed upon them that men cannot have or else they're gay or some ridiculous assumption. That includes pink, glitter and very long hair.
SO, I want pink to be socially accepted. That's why I have pink stuff everywhere. Next target, a pair of pink flip flops (thanks to Xink for that idea).
