Update on My Unfortunate Pink Berry Trip
Hey guys, so I went back to Pink Berry to talk to the manager about what happened. He apologized and asked how much my cardigan cost, then went to the back and returned with some cash to compensate me. Although that will never bring back my “undamaged sweater,” I am just glad that the manager was professional and just about the situation.Â
My Unfortunate Trip to Pinkberry
Since my boyfriend was craving frozen yogurt tonight, he managed to drag me out of the house to go with him for a late night run at Pinkberry (the one located at the Olympic Collection center in West. LA.). As we were eating our frozen yogurt, my boyfriend and I noticed the smell of bleach surrounding our table. Little did I know that the bleach was actually on the table from which we ate! Unfortunately, I was wearing my new black cardigan
that I just bought in Japan. Subsequently, the bleach on the table turned parts of my sweater orange!
I didn’t notice right away however. After Pinkberry, we went to Ralphs to do some quick grocery shopping. As we were talking about the unfavorable bleach smell from the yogurt store, I looked down at my sweater, only to see some yucky orange bleach stains around the elbow region!!!! I was furious and enraged. So, I went back to Pinkberry to complain, but the manager was not available. I was told by one of the workers to come back tomorrow.
I really hope that the manager compensates me in some way. It is only fair. Why on earth didn’t the workers clean up the bleach off the table? For goodness sake, we eat off of them!
I will update you guys tomorrow with results. Meanwhile, check out the picture of my damaged sweater, sniff sniff.
You can see the bleach damage from where I placed my elbows on the table

Harajuku Girls
You often hear this word used in fashion talk and in Gwen Stefani’s songs, but does anybody really know what “Harajuku Girls” stands for? Just take a glance at Gwen’s music video “Wind It Up.” One can’t help but notice Gwen’s entourage, which is comprised of three Japanese girls dressed in a style of eclectic attire.
The name “Harajuku Girls” derives from girls in the Harajuku district of Tokyo, Japan. Many consider Harajuku the heart of Tokyo’s pop culture shopping district. Therefore, “Harajuku Girls” stand as fashion iconistas for the hip and trendy. They are notable for their funky hair dos and wigs, 7 in. platforms, wild make-up, and layers of mixed contemporary and Japanese style clothing. Such a style is said to parallel that of anime. For example, “Harajuku Girls” often emulate the “Sailor Moon” (sailor school girl) outfit, or a “Strawberry Shortcake”-like fashion.
In a collectivist society, these “Harajuku Girls” can express their individuality through their own unique style. For these girls, it is a way to be noticed and differentiated. Therefore, don’t expect to see the “Harajuku Girl” Style flourishing through every girl’s closet. “Harajuku Girls” are definitely the exception.
