These are cut from the presentation. In the presentation, I talked about Harajuku and how Western culture influences youth fashion in Japan. My intention was to do something related to Harajuku. However, I felt that I did not reflect what truly came from my heart. So I took out my old iPod touch, charged it, and used it for a few days before the presentation. I only came up with the idea the exact morning of the presentation. In the presentation, I talked about Harajuku. Then about myself. I talked about growing up and how much I and my sister love and adore Western culture. And how I was not a typical girly girl. I love Spiderman, power rangers, and superheroes. I did not dress like a girly girl. I love superhero sandals or spiderman t-shirts. Though I did not hide that part of me, at the same time I felt very conscious of what I was wearing and how others would view me. This all changed the day my sister brought home the Best Damn Thing album by Avril Lavigne. Later on, we had the iPod touch which brought me to a whole new world. The existence of Avril Lavigne, Lady Gaga and Western culture affected me. I continued to explain how my love for Western culture changed when I'm actually in the West. How I realized my love for Eastern culture. At this point, I have a more concrete idea of what my advanced project is going to be about.
