Dada wa Tsurai 2
MGazette vol 18, April 98. pg 99-100
(in Pink Hazard Fetish Gallery)
*intro - Good evening. I am Dada, one of the manequins at Pink Hazard. The store has already closed for the night and I am lonesomely standing gaurd by myself. I wonder if the night will be long; it's so quiet in here...ah, I'm bored.*
Dada: (to Margarette) Is there a concept to your make-up?
Margaret: I go natural, make the most of my physique (laughs). Those are my tactics, but if everyone progresses in their make-up techniques they'll get to that point too and so drag queens who're at that level, if they wanna be pretty and start wearing make-up then everyone's face'll look just like mine!! It's like "I win" *heart*!
Dada: I guess (laughs) By the way, taxis never stop for me when I look like this.
Margaret: Ah, I know~I have to get a friend to hail them for my while I hide in the shadow of a tree or something (laughs)...
Dada: Yeah, like I have to pretend I'm looking at a store, and then throw myself in front of them when they go by (laughs).
Margaret: I had one go by me once, and then do a u-turn and come back. The driver said "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I thought you were a manequin!" (laughs).
Dada: Gu-fu-fu-fu-fu (laughs)! ---Sooo, are you s/m?
Margaret: Even the beautiful and magnificent me has had to do it~ I've been beaten~ I've *ah...hah...hah...censured*, all that (laughs)
Dada: Woah! Can you really say that in a magazine (cries)?
Margaret: But, with that kinda self conscious attitude I couldn't be anything but m (laughs).
Dada: Ah~ (agreement) So it's like "wow, this person? It's like seeing a bad dream..." ... Like that?
Margaret: A naito-mea~~~~~~. *nightmare, said in english*
Dada: I see...and not just cause you said it in english (laughs)
Margaret: Right, right (big laughs). So, like, that's the big difference between being happy with just M. It's like noticing the boring way some people only describe who they are by how they look, like "I'm a man" and "I'm 180 cm." And then someone'll crumble their self-esteem for them, broaden their horizon, make and shift those boundaries with whips and stuff. I do that
Dada: Yup, someone's got a fe-tish ♥ Hey, didn't the store owner, Ms. Yukiko, go by a minute ago with queen Eve? Let's see if we can join up with them.
Yukiko: Yes, we sell s/m products, but they end they're really fetish. To the end, we're "fetish fixated on costume" after all.
Dada: I like it. The atmosphere here's really stylish, cute; it's gorgeous.
Margaret: Yeah, it's really appealing (laughs). People like us can feel at ease here.
Yukiko: If you say stuff like that the girls reading the magazine won't come here!
Dada: Ara! I though there was no deception in the world of s/m (laughs).
Yukiko: Well...about s/m, you do things that hurt, so it's a world were you can't deceive people at that instant.
I-bu: It's usually macho manly man people *and then whips and panda and I got bored...or embarassed...*
Dada: ...... . Don't you think this conversation's gotten kinda outrageous the second time around...(laughs). It's like the M in MGazette's become...
Margaret: Maso-Gazette!! From now on, let's make it an s/m magazine ♥
Dada: ...was today's talk high style or highly vulgar? I don't kno~w! (laughs)
Margaret: High style for sure!
Ah, he's full of surprises, this one...is...heh heh...they're speaking girlie. I wish to kick them. Welcome to Shinjuku.
I know I shoulda just translated the Dada parts, but I was
having fun with the easter colors. By the by, did you know you can get
your daily calorie requirement by eating 200 sheets of seaweed a day? I
think...I lost my seaweed somewhere so I can't quite remember.
