Re: General SKUpidity

I like how Nanami and Akio are in tears over theirs, but Touga appears only vaguely depressed.

Re: General SKUpidity

lol Are those real Facebook messages. Though if they are fake I have ideas for others.

Akio: You can't be in a relationship with minors.

ChuChu: You can't be in a relationship with a frog.

Akio & Touga: You can't be in a relationship with multiple people.

Utena: You can't be in a relationship with a dead guy.

I dunno where Mark Zuckerberg is from, but here Akio/Mrs. Ohtori wouldn't be illegal. It would just be frowned upon.

I liked the above Facebook post. I don't have Facebook. Does it really have incest, incest by marriage, and self-cest filters?

Re: General SKUpidity

Also from the linked thread, regarding MAkio:

ikuni wrote:

    that is a common misconception but, actually that character is mikage dressed up as akio. that is why his acting is so poor. you really thought that man was akio?? mikage was trying to varnish the reputation of akio because mikage does not believe in princes... maybe?? i don't remember.

Heheh, that was a long time ago now. emot-smile  I wasn't even a mod yet.  I was just riffing off the bizarre and intentionally vexing things that Ikuni says in his interviews.  That thread is how I got my title, actually, though I've earned it at other times as well in different ways.

Re: General SKUpidity

From the appearance section of the Mrs. Ohtori Shrine (http://ohtori.nu/mother/2_appearance_01.htm):

her hair is cut conservatively with the volume on the top that seems to find women as they age.

I see poor Mrs. Ohtori just got called on her using that legendary glam hag must-have accessory: the Crown Volumizer emot-rofl

While still obviously flexible, Mrs. Ohtori really should take care not to grind the back of her head against the sofa quite that much; she wouldn't want the volumizer to go falling off during such a special moment now, would she?

Re: General SKUpidity

Trust me, old lady poofy hair is immune to all things. I can wake someone up after 8 hours of sleep, sit them up, and their hair is still puffed and elevated.

Akio can do the same. emot-gonk


Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Laughed . . . so . . . hard!

But really, I think overcompensation is what's going on here.  People's hair thin out with age even as their face fattens/lengthens/broadens, so they wanna balance it out by having increased hair volume to make their enlarged faces proportionally small again.  On the women's side there were Liz Taylor, Rachel Welch etc with their volumizers/partial wigs.  On the men's side . . . well, it's hair club all the way

P.S.  I always suspect that old Tokiko wears a hat to hide the non-existent "parting" on top of her wig (c'mon, no real old woman's hair should look that thick and stiff).

http://ohtori.nu/galerie/d/9262-1/Series_ep22_205.jpg

P.P.S.  Sadly, even this small-to-the-point-of-dried-up old face is not immune to the faux volume either - this time via (likely) fake buns.

Re: General SKUpidity

Double post to say that somehow, Nanami, Juri, AND Wakaba all strike me as being future crown volumizer users.

Unfortunately, that'd likely be Mikage and Miki: guys who look okay with "un-parted" bangs tend to have high foreheads to hide (i.e. Mikage's forehead is likely higher than Utena's, whose bangs are parted).

P.S. Saionji will likely lose hair at a quicker pace than Touga, since curl-hair is fine hair and tends to fall off quicker than straight hair.
