WTF Gwen?

[sarea]

I think Gwen Stefani is a total superstar. She flat-out rocks. If you've ever seen No Doubt in concert, you've seen how the woman has presence. When she's performing on stage, it's like she could form a crazy cult and you'd be the first member. She represents the best parts of what being a woman/girl is all about. She's so cool she's a girl's girl and a guy's girl. She makes being a girl cool in that you don't even think of her as being a girl. She's just Gwen. She could do just about anything and make it look good.

But now she's got me going kind of ".........."

I've been listening to Love. Angel. Music. Baby., and I've just got one question: What the hell is a Harajuku girl, and why is Gwen so obsessed with them?

Here's the song. Have a listen.

Mentions of Harajuku are littered throughout the album, but that's the song dedicated solely to it. Or just view the lyrics.

I generally like the album, except for the last song, "Long Way to Go." It's just so -- cheesy, corny, unsubtle, obvious, insert your own adjective. The subject deserves better treatment than the song gives. :p

Meanwhile, I have beaten Fable. :( I shall miss playing it. Next time through, though, I'm going to go the evil route. Muhuahahahahaha.

Harajuku is Tokyo's youth district, according to the Google search I did when I was asking myself the same question. And have you seen the video for "Rich Girl"? Bad enough she's covering frickin' Fiddler on the Roof, but she dances with all the grace of a 600 pound man with a broken leg, all dressed in skanky-ass faux piratey slutwear. And my God, it got worse for the Grammys.
