Shinjuku-bound
September 16th, 2004
These days it’s fairly common to see young girls preening themselves on the train on their way to センター街 or wherever, but today was the first time I actually saw someone curl their hair on a crowded train. These two girls shared a portable roller, took phone calls, and applied six or seven coats of makeup, all between Gotanda and Shinjuku and much to the unspoken derision of their elders seated nearby. I got the impression they actually had plenty of time to get ready *before* leaving the house, but saved it all for the train just for the shock value. You go, girls.
