Japanese Gothic Dresses (& other related frillies) Gallery - Page 10
The women who dress in the Japanese Gothic style do so only on weekends and concerts. This is a form of escape for them... a way for them to look like their idols and to attract attention. Trying to look young and elegant all at once is a purely Japanese phenomenon.
Kindewhore dresser, Kathy Bjelland was born on December 8,1963.
Kat was a quiet child who preferred listening to music rather then playing with dolls. Kat's mother Lynn left her when she was 5 years old. Her father was a structural engineer, and was on the road a lot. Because she was often left alone, from a very early age Kat learned how to protect and take care of herself.
Kat Bjelland was a very popular student at her high school, which was located in a small town in Oregon. They perky teenager was voted head football cheerleader, got straight A's, enjoyed playing basketball, and edited her high school yearbook. As soon as Kat went home she left all of that back at school. Once she let herself in to her family's house, she would transform into a punk diva. She listened to songs by Billie Holiday, read Sylvia Plath, drank Kahlua, and hoped one day she'd leave Oregon to perform on the same stages her musical idols had.
Like any typical teen at that time, Kat also liked bands like Kiss and Aerosmith. On day while blasting a Kiss song she was introduced to a girl who'd been sent to Oregon after being expelled from one of the world's best private schools, this new girl's name was Courtney Love.
Kat and Courtney hit it off right away, together the decided that one-day they'd start a band and leave Oregon behind for good. After high school the two girls moved to San Francisco because of its legendary rock and roll bohemian underground scene. Shortly after arriving Kat and Courtney met a hip musician named Jennifer Finch (later of the girl band L7) who took them to a show featuring Frightwig, an all girl punk rock band. Frightwig inspired all three on the spot to form their very own all female band. The new band was called Sugar Baby Doll.
