If you do not have Instagram you can leave a comment on this blog post. Like Instagram, you can enter to win a specific pack, two, or all three. 

And now, the annoying but required rules/etc...

Please read the rules before entering!

The post will be promoted via Tumblr but due to their giveaway and contest guidelines we are conducting the actual contest on Instagram and through our blog. Tumblr bars anyone under the age of 18 from entering a contest or giveaway, and they limit the particpants to the country of the giveaway host, which in my case is the United States. To keep things as simple as possible and to open the giveaway to as many people as possible I opted for Instagram, which, after painstaking research, appears to not have these restrictions. :3

-Following us is not required, but if you followed us somewhere on the internets(Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter) we'd appreciate it greatly. :3

Other rules/regulations/required legal fodder:

EDIT AS OF JUNE 12, 2014: Multiple likes/comments do not increase your chances of winning. Once you're entered, it's an even playing field. 

The giveaway will close at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time(California Time) on June 20th, 2014. Entries will not be accepted past the deadline. We will be drawing winners at noon on June 21st, 2014(Pacific Time). 

-If a winner is under 18 you must have a signed permission form from a parent or legal guardian. I will email the winner this form and it MUST be returned to me within two weeks, either by email(scanned copy) or snail mail. If the form is not returned to me(postmarked/timestamped) by July 5, 2014 @ 11:59 PM a new winner will be drawn. 

-Winners will recieve one lucky pack. I will contact the winners on June 21st, 2014 to get your mailing address and any other information needed. This information will not be shared with anyone, for any purpose other than mailing you your lucky pack. Privacy is important! As soon as I receive your information I will mail your lucky pack. Lucky packs will be sent via the US Postal Service First Class Mail, regardless of whether or not you live in the United States. 

-Winners will not have to pay shipping fees. International winners are responsible for any taxes/fees/tarriffs that may incur, which vary depending on the laws in your country.

They are not, in any way, responsible for, or sponsoring in whole or in part, any of the prizes or promotion of this giveaway. They are not liable for anything relating or pertaining to this giveaway. Participants fully release these entities from any liability, legal or otherwise, upon entering.

-Spam/Promo Only/Giveaway Only accounts are not elegible to enter and will be disqualified if an attempt to enter is made. Using these accounts to enter the giveaway is not fair to the other participants!

-The only way to enter the giveaway is through Instagram or commenting on this blog entry. Any attempts to enter the contest ouside Instagram and our blog are not valid entries and will not be counted. 

-Odds of winning will vary depending on the number of entries recived. Void where prohibited by United States and international law.

Shojono Tomo Live Art and Fashion Show

Tokyo Fashion was on hand at Shojono Tomo's live art and fashion show. They made a video covering the event, and it was awesome!

Tomo's outfits were a more literal take on pop kei. The garments themselves were white, with pop art illustrations painted onto them in bright neon colors with bold black outlines and graphics. Models walked the runway with flamboyant props including large baby bottles containing Barbies and blow-up dolls. 

To cap off the show, she painted a T-shirt that had been altered to fit two people. Using spray paint, paint bottles, and brushes, she painted an abstract design on the shirt while the models were wearing it, in a mock wedding ceremony.


An exhibition following the show displayed more of Tomo's artwork, including sculptures, illustrations, and large canvases.

It was definitely an inspration. :) I can't wait to see what she does next!
