buy kera magazine torontoDo you like Japanese fashion magazines like KERA?

Are you having trouble finding KERA in Toronto?

Do you want to be able to buy KERA easily and quickly?

If you answered YES to all of these questions, then I know exactly how you feel, and I want to help you get your hands on KERA. I’m also a fan of Japanese fashion, and I know how tough it can be to find KERA in Toronto. I got frustrated looking for it in Chinatown, at Pacific Mall, and even J-town, and having no luck!

So I did something crazy and ordered a box full of copies of KERA magazine! I did it because I know there are people out there just like me, who are tired of having to wait weeks and months to get their hands on an issue, because waiting that long really sucks!

The issue I currently have is #147 from November, 2010, 196 pages, which I ordered last year and am just now getting around to making available. They are BRAND NEW in the box, straight from the publisher in Japan.

The price for a copy of the magazine is $12.95 $9.95. The best part is that you don’t have to blow money on shipping, since I’ve already paid to have it shipped here from Japan, and you can just pick it up in person.

If you’d like to buy a copy of the magazine, or have any questions, just send me an email at info [at] styleinvasion.com – with the title of your email as “KERA”.

If enough people show interest in this, I might order more (current) issues so that we can continue to feed our need for KERA! :) Thanks for reading!

I was at the theatre last weekend to watch “The Smurfs”. I’m a big fan of the 80′s cartoon and the comics, so I was pretty stoked to see this new Smurf movie. Well, the movie is quite different from the TV show, and I wasn’t too impressed with it, but that’s not what this post is about. It’s about how I won a Papa Smurf stuffed toy before the movie!

So I was sitting in the theatre, waiting for the show to start, surrounded mainly by a bunch of kids and their parents. I noticed these two girls enter dressed as Smurfs, with the blue face paint and everything. I thought they were just a couple of huge Smurf fans, but it turned out they worked for the theatre. They announced that there’d be some trivia questions with prizes to be given away.

Papa Smurf!


The first question was, “Can anyone name a Smurf?” A bunch of kids raised their hands, and one was chosen at random. The kid said, “Smurfette!” So they gave a poster to the kid.

Next, they asked if anyone knew the name of the bad guy. Another kid said, “Gargamel!” So they gave a poster to that kid, too.

Next question was, “What do Smurfs eat?” For some reason, this one stumped everyone. There were all kinds of guesses, but they weren’t even close to getting it right. Meanwhile, I was sitting there knowing exactly what Smurfs eat – Smurfberries, duh! But I figured I would just let the little guys and girls win the prizes and go home happy. Anyway, nobody got it right and they moved on to the next question.

“How tall is a Smurf?” Once again, kids were guessing and they had no clue what the right answer was. One kid even said, “One inch?” Please! So I was looking around the theatre, seeing all these tiny hands going up, but none of these kids were getting it right. Nobody knew how tall a Smurf was.

I couldn’t take it anymore, so up went my hand. They acknowledged me, and I was like, “Three apples high!” Bingo! One of the girls came up to my row and gave me the stuffed Papa Smurf! Everyone was looking at me, probably thinking, “Who is this guy?!” But I didn’t care, because at that moment, I was the Smurf Master!!

There was something oddly satisfying about destroying a bunch of elementary school kids in a Smurf trivia challenge, and I would not hesitate to do it again.

I’m sure this has happened to most everyone. There was probably a time when you were out at a club, or the movies, or the mall, or at school, and you suddenly noticed that someone was wearing an item identical to what you were wearing. Maybe the same dress, sweater, shoes, t-shirt… MORE…
