Immigration attorneys from Cohen & Grigsby explains how they assist employers in running classified ads with the goal of NOT finding any qualified applicants, and the steps they go through to disqualify even the most qualified Americans in order to secure green cards for H-1b workers. See what Bush and Congress really mean by a “shortage of skilled U.S. workers.” Microsoft, Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, and thousands of other companies are running fake ads in Sunday newspapers across the country each week.

Alright so, me and my friend were talking about this a week or two ago, and we both came to a conclusion that Scene is just another (slightly ugly) version of Visual/Oshare Kei.
Now, by no means am I bashing the people who classify themselves/are classified as scene (Ok, well I AM guilty of disliking the way this stereotype dresses and stuff… But that’s just my opinion)I am just simply comparing the two styles.
Yes, Visual Kei has been around for WAY longer than your newly developed “Scene” style. It’s been around before even some of us were born.
Well, if you have something to say, please try to say it nicely and respectively, because when you cmmnt liek dis bcuz ur so madd an u wan 2 giv me a peece of ur mind, you just end up looking like an asshole.
So please, if you must say omething opposing this, try to say it somewhat human like.
*nods*
EDIT:
Someone mentioned in the comments that someone from a VK community was in the scene section.
I’m sorry, I’m not trying to insult anyone in the VK style, it was just a simple mistake. o_O
Both pictures were in the “scene” section on Photobucket, so I took them without thinking I guess. O_o;
Also, sorry for the length of this video. I didn’t think it would be this long. xD;
And for those of you who don’t make it to the credits:
Songs:
Fersure – The Medic Droid
COCKROACH – The GazettE
RAINBOWS – alice nine.

*Note: I don’t do my hair like this anymore. lol it was just some phase i went through in high school.
The bandana has no purpose in the video what so ever. It’s not for blocking the smell or fumes of the hairpray, the hairspray i use actually smells good.
Ok, so many people i know always asked the same questions. How do you your hair, and how long does it take? Well this is how i do my hair. Also it takes me about 5 mins. I sped up the vid so yeah. All i use is a brush, Aussie volume hairspray, and a blowdryer.
I don’t know what style my hairstyle would be classified as. I guess it’s kinda jrock-ish since i was influenced by most artists.
