I have no idea what is going on here but I feel the need to go where stuffed bears wander free.

Alright, I do know what's this is, its Kawaii. What is that you ask? Well, its simply the cuteness culture in Japan.

Kawaii – lovable, cute, adorable.
Kawaii has become a prominent aspect of Japanese popular culture, entertainment, clothing, food, toys, personal appearance and even behaviour.

Kawaii - The Cuteness Culture

Why am I bringing this to a political blog in the middle of an election year? I don't know about you, but this year is freaking me out and cute is a happy place.

And I find it rather funny to stumble across pictures like these.

Morning

If the blog gods could delete my second accidental post of this mornings blog I would greatly appreciate it

TRISEC is pleased to report a highly successful Blue & Gold banquet and year-end Court of Honour for Waltham Pack 205 last night.

This is despite the dire predictions of failure by my Committee Chair. Maybe you've heard of him- it's Donald Downer, Debbie's sister.

He may be in for a surprise at our annual planning meeting, where I plan to ask for new leadership.

Mala, friends of mine have recently returned from Japan. One of their stops was in Nara where they have free-roaming deer in a part of the city. There is, of course, an adorable cartoon deer mascot.

Totally adorable!

Those last two images in the blog are rather disturbing.

The Japanese can be a bit... "obsessive" when it comes to fads. I remember when I was there, you could anything from a vending machine. Not sure what that's all about, but then - that goes for most of their pop culture fads.

Mornin' all!

I'm quite familiar with kawaii, and wish I was more familiar with oppai.

Comment by Scoopster on 05/20/2016 17:05:03
oppai killed the blog eh?

Comment by TriSec on 05/20/2016 17:23:52
I have never been so happy to spend $3,000. Disney is now paid in full- all we need to do is pack!
