IF I COULD BE SWEET

IF I COULD BE SWEET

Gwen Stefani talks to NYLON about her new makeup toys and bags...

Remember Sweet Secrets toys from the '80s?  They were charms or animals that turned into makeup when you flipped them over.

Now Gwen Stefani's going the same way, making little dolls inspired by her Harajuku Girls that pop open to reveal a solid perfume.

The set of five contains a Love, an Angel, a Music, and a Baby, all plastic, all fantastic, and all (yay) affordable.  And the new scents correspond to Gwen's anime-inspired accessories - including big tote bags you can take to the grocery store or mall instead of using plastics.

Gwen told us, "My Harajuku Lovers collections were inspired by my visit to the Harajuku district….Everyone there was so creative and expressive and I wanted to re-create that world in my Harajuku Lovers collections… There are so many fun pieces to wear to have that  super cool Harajuku style."

Sounds about right.  And how can you argue with Gwen?

Although I love gwen, I must say I think we should be moving up from the 'hello kitty' type style to a more sophisticated look. This is just way too little girl for me.

Faran, you solved a decade-long mystery for me. For the longest time, I have been trying to remember the name of those 80s toys with the makeup in them. Whew...think of all of the things I can accomplish now that the riddle has been answered!

There she goes again, perpetuating stereotypes of Asian women. Stop appropriating Japanese culture for cash, Gweny. And stop using these women as your own personal accessories.
