It sparked my interest to know about this ancient Japanese tradition using bird feces! The guano is sterilized with a UV Ray. The natural enzymes powder of the Nightingale feces helps remove dirt, shed dead skin cells and also leaving skin softer and brighter,  it contains an amino acid guanine with anmonic whitening qualities. This Japanese beauty secret has been used for Geisha make up as well as a make-up cleanser, it has been utilized for generations in Japan since the 18th century. Sounds very intriguing! yet malodorous. However, something I’ll definitely try for its known results.

The Gothic Lolita style began in the 1970s. Gothic and Lolita are used by the Japanese to portray a sub-culture of masses who wear the vogue of Lolita. Multiple brands such as Angelic Pretty, Sweet Rococo, Milky Ange and Moi-Meme-Moitie are all Gothic Lolita inspired. Fashion Designer and Musician Mana of Moi Dix Mois helped to make Gothic Lolita known using “Elegant Gothic Lolita” to describe his fashion label Moi-Meme-Moitie.

Singer Kana modeled for Lolita fashion and Illustrator Mitsukazu Mihara drew the eight first covers of the Gothic and Lolita Bible. Gothic Lolita consists of a mixture of black and white skirts (knee length),black and white lace, ribbons, petticoat, over knee socks, tights or stockings, boots, Mary Jane shoes, Victorian blouses and high necked blouses, parasols, bows, handbags at times shaped as bats, coffins and crucifixes, stuffed animals such as a teddy bear or super dollfie, head bands and lace blouses.
