Join Gwen's Harajuku Crew

Gwen Stefani’s HP Harajuku cameraYou may never be as cool as a Harajuku teen, but at least now you can pretend. Harajuku authority Gwen Stefani (hey, she must’ve picked up on something with her ever-present posse of Japanese girls) and Hewlett-Packard have launched a limited-edition digital camera that pays homage to the hipsters of the uber-cool neighborhood in Japan. The 4.1-megapixel gadget decorated with a kawaii (cute) manga girl also comes with a carrying case and funky charms, all created by the rock diva. $249, hp.com/buy/gwen

That has got to be the most worthless piece of junk I have ever seen in my entire life. It's ugly as sin, and costs 250 for a 4 Mp camera? Plus as is the case with every pervese trendy fad, it will be useless in a month when no one cares about this skewered version of a harajuku teen.

This is pathetic, its just a camera with some sparkly things and a bag. even i could make something like that. Gwen is destroying the culture of Japan and harajuku,and she treats those Asian girls like her dogs. "I'll dress them wicked,i'll give them names" So are they your pets now? She cant even say Harajuku properly,as the japanese do. I'm so glad one of Those Japanese girls punched her stupid face.

Hey, "miss manga" you say that Gwen Stefani's "Harajuku girls" can speak for themselves? Maybe, but only in Japanese. They're actualy contractually obliged to only speak Japanese in public - even though they all speak English rather well.

By the way, I lived in Japan for four years in Shibuya. Which, for those of you who don't know, is only a few stops on the metro to Harajuku.

People are only treated the way they want to be treated--and I doubt that Gwen's Harajuku girls are being treated as "dogs"--dogs don't make the kind of money those Harajuku girls make.

Gwen Stefani's cool and i love the Harajuku Girls. I just never ever hear them speak before. One of them i think is name Musik [however it's spelled]. I hear she is a choreographer or something. I really like that camera. It's number one present on my Chrismas list. I can't believe it's expensive. I hope my parents can get it. I cant wait to go back to Japan when i grow up. I'm gonna be manga-ka and maybe when i retire i'll be dance choreographer. Maybe, maybe not. Hey I can dream can i?

Oh my gosh her concerts are awesome. Gwen is so cool. I think all of you girls have your own opinion and I have mine so non of you have to agree with me buts thats alright with me. I think Gwen is a trend setter. And her harajuku girls are awesome. They are great dancers and the guys are too. Wow, I can't believe how cool they all are. Well..l8as.
A true fan!
