I know this goes without saying, but if I am purchasing a clothing item from you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE double-check it for stains, cat hair, etc before you mail it out to me!

I recently received a top from a seller that was not only stained, but reeked of B.O. The stains were only noticeable when you turned the garment inside out, but it doesn't excuse the fact that the seller sold me an item that she wore more than once and neglected to launder. I was so grossed out by the condition of the top that I actually had to throw it out... As a buyer, I am very easy going and quick to forgive and forget when I receive an item that is in less than steller condition, but this was too much.

Sadly, this was not the first time that this has happened to me. I've had several instances where there were obvious pitt and neck stains on a garment that was listed as practically "new." I've decided that from here on out, I will not be so forgiving - particularly if the item in question is clothing related. This was pretty much the last straw, so please do me and other buyers a favor by turning your clothes inside out to check for stains before you list them for sale.

It took such a long time for the HD Bad Girl Beast (b2st) video to load. It kept starting and stopping. I took a few screenshots and this was one of the more humorous ones.

[On the right] Ki Kwang (formerly AJ) and Hyun Seung (formerly SO-1) are particulary funny in this shot. Oh, and since when am I interested in KPop and boy bands?! ♥

I've come to the realization that I have a serious megane moe. I think it started with Sumoto Ayu's excellent series, "Watashi no Megane-kun." OMG, Megane-kun is damn fine. Sure he's obsessive, psychotic, and little violent...but he's also considerate, caring, and he'll be damned if anything comes between him and Chouko. I got a hold of all the raws and I am in love with the series! Probably one of the best I've ever read. Very emotionally draining and enthralling.

Kawamaru Shin's "Maruhi Megane danshi club," pretty much solidified my megane moe by showcasing magane wearing guys via four of the sweetest yomikiri chapters I've ever read. The premise for the manga is that the photography club at Shirogane Koukou is really a front for a club dedcicated to photographing and fangirling over hot guys that wear glasses. The caveat here is that only guys who actually need the glasses to see are eligible to be fawned over. lol

Recently purchased a volume of yomikiri entitled "Megane (Hazushite mo ii desu ka?)." It contains eight free-standing stories that have male megane characters. Unfortunately, many of the characters don't wear their glasses for the duration of their story. The first story is pretty funny, but my favorite is 究極彼氏にやミツキ彼女 by Shiraishi Yuki. It's about a girl (Chisako) who used to be a yankee. After a chance encounter with a guy (Akimomi-kun), she gives up her former life and studies her ass off to follow him to his high school. They become a couple, but will the details of Chisako's former life threaten to destroy their relationship?! It's not as serious as it sounds. This yomikiri is super funny and Chisako isn't the typcial female lead I see in most shoujo manga.

Other megane characters worthy of moe:


Munechika from Gakuen Ouji


Tounomine Hajime from Otomen

Probably all megane wearing guys in yaoi manga
That guy from Ouran High School Host club...
That guy from Yamada Tarou Monogatari...
Those guys from CLAMP...

There are more...will have to edit and update.

Maybe I'll try to translate some of the manga I've been reading... It's mostly yomikiri, but it'll be good practice.
