Hey ho, everyone!

It's been awhile and I figure it's time to keep you up to date on the future fashions that we never thought would arrive nor even exist.

I know I previously introduced you to the Gangurro Gal phenomenon in Japan but it seems that they're back for 2004 and weirder than ever.

Now mainly called Manba (short for yamanba. translation="Mountain witch") the subculture has gone ballistic and now guys are getting into the mix. (called Center-Guys)

Yet, Tokyo is a world away from most of us here in the US. Closer to home is a rapidly growing craze called Krumping (or clown dancing).

There's even a film coming in 2005 that talks all about it.

MTV/Variety/Rolling stone all have just written articles on it. So why haven't you heard??
