Unhoppy

You know Easter is right around the corner when street style sites start posting pictures of girls wearing bunny ears. Lolita-esque juvenility can be very attractive in the right time and place, but the "cuteness" of wearing dollar-store bunny ears headbands should be reserved for the five-and-under set.
This is a prime example from Hel Looks. The deranged Bo-peep was obviously influenced by manga cartoons and the "elegant" gothic lolita look. I feel like she morphed from a baby to adolescent sometime during her Christening. Aren't babies forced to wear frilly gowns when they're getting water splashed on their foreheads by religious authorities? Also, not to detract attention from the fact that the hair on these bunny ears is Yeti-length. Watch out, bitch. There's a new Easter Bunny in town...
Perhaps this hat is more "mouse" than "bunny", but let's not get into specifics. They both have pink ears... This Misshape's furry hat is much more tastefully done than the last one. This girl looks like she's out to have a good time and the ears are just a joke, whereas the other girl is trying to channel a serious character and failing miserably.

You know what I DO like about Easter? The candy.

oh deary, that first picture actually coaxed my soul out of my nose rather unsubtley leaving me sneezing all over the place. Meaning- HOW TERRIFYING.
The second look is a bit too 'look how cool I am, wearing a bunny mouse hat thing in public' but i admit that it's waaay better than the soul-nose-coaxing bunny.
of course easter is all about the biggest chocolate egg you can buy and collapsing onto your bed at 8pm in a chocolatey haze, which is jsut what I love about it.

I saw the first femme on Hel-Looks awhile ago and I felt nothing but immense pity for her. She's 13 or something though, right? I suppose if she promises never to pick up a manga again in her life than the lapse might be deemed venial.
