crossdressing
They always say that you should try to walk in someone else’s shoes if you really want to understand them.
Tokyo makeup artist tells us why having a joso-loving lover makes the relationship “twice as fun.”
If you guessed the prank is that the model in this picture is actually a man, he makes no secret about that, and the real trick is something else.
There’s huge demand in Japan for cute, girly fashion specifically designed to fit male physiques.
Everyone notices the girlish clothes, but those with a trained eye have also spotted the boyish wings.
As the weather warms up, our clothes lighten up, just like the spring version of the wildly popular men’s sailor loungewear!
Girls- and men dressed as girls- just want to have fun, and now they can at Bar☆Onna no Ko Club.
If you want to become a geisha, maiko, samurai or courtesan, gender is no barrier at this Asakusa photo studio.
