I have to preface this post by saying I sometimes think Gwen Stefani channeled me when she came up with her Harajuku-loving persona. As a techie, I am constantly looking to the Japanese (and Chinese) markets to check out their amazing and forward-thinking technologies. Along the way, I've fallen in love with the whole colorful, eclectic and fun Harajuku style and the inherent chicness that accompanies the whole attitude. Still, I am not sure what I think of a new trend of decorating your cell phones with so many jewels and glittery gels that it looks like a wedding cake.
On the one hand, I would never mistake my boyfriend's Blackberry for my own in the morning, but I might feel shy whipping it out in a meeting and I think it would somehow brainwash me into thinking I need a beautiful cupcake - everyday. I guess if I am going to embrace colorful fashion I might as well celebrate it by adding some pizazz to my phone. You should check out the gallery of delicious-looking cell phones, read more
So what do you think? Japanese girls have been pimping out their cell phones for years, but this new style has an added element of glitter and beads. I say if Paris Hilton starts, it will catch on soon enough here.

L.a.p.a.
I know it's a little excessive but if it was done in a chic way (maybe not a cake design) I think I would so want a blinged out bedazzled phone!
1WHERE CAN I FIND THESE?!?!?!
2Part of what makes cell phones great, at least to me, is that they are so small, you can stick them in your pocket or bag without taking up too much space. With all that stuff stuck on them, that sort of takes away that convenience, to me.
3That's totally overdone, overwrought and excessive looking.....but....I want it!!!! What's wrong with me????????
4YES, it's really popular to decorate one's cell-phone's in japan.
5but I won't do that anymore.
cause' once my cell-phone (the decorating one) was scattered piece parts in my jeans pocket.
So I stop decorating...
check out www.infectious.com. they have awesome iphone art - a better way to decorate the phone so it won't fall apart in your pocket.
6They look so cute and lovely, but once you put it in your bag or pocket, with just a few ruffles, those gems and decorations will just break off real easy. I recommend that if you want to decorate your phone, just decorate it with non-pop out decorations, like small gems or just simple window stickers.
