Emily the Strange came to life in the early 1990's and quickly became a beloved counterculture icon all around the world. In her earliest years, she was a quiet but sharp-witted stranger, slinging philosophy and cultural observations in a series of hand-screened t-shirts and stickers. As her presence grew and became a standard in the cultural underground, Emily's own story began to emerge in a series of gift books, then comic-books and graphic novels, and now a novel series for young adults.
Today, Emily continues to be a voice for individualism and self-awareness, and her appeal is especially strong among alternative-minded young women and girls who identify with her signature singularity. Her presence in the worlds of art, pop culture, literature, and fashion celebrates non-conformist and reminds us all to cultivate that which makes us unique.
Emily is: An Artist, A Dreamer, An Inventor, A Scientist, A Skater, A Rocker and An Individual!
Emily's not your average thirteen year-old-girl. Pink is her worst nightmare...she wears the same black dress every day. She loves math and science. Her best friends are her four BLACK CATS! She's into old rock & punk, but also digs newer bands like My Chemical Romance (BTW, Gerard Way is featured in her Dark Horse comic book, "Revenge at Last!") Emily is so anticool she's cool... a subculture of one, and a follower of no one but herself.
Designers including Jean-Paul Gaultier, Valentino and Marc Jacobs have paid tribute to her, but she doesn't care! Emily wants you to be yourself, think for yourself, and DO IT YOURSELF!

P/S: I just 100% fully mesmerized by her. She's my favourite since I was in school! She's the greatest trouble-maker, a dreamer and a link to the stranger in the society. I used to buy a lot of Emily's stuff, even my first boyfriend called me EmILLY. (so perasan-ted lah this girl) So he got me this one Emily keychain, and I was so damn freakingly happy just because of a keychain. It may sounds silly, but hey, it's Emily. Who cares!
Now since the Kiss shop has been shut down, it got me stop buying those stuffs. I find it cool with the way she brought up herself, play tricks on people, with her posse of four bad kitties- Sabbath, Nee Chee, Mystery and Miles, Emily the Strange is the graphic voice for who search to be lost. I just amazed by the way she is. By being lost is her way of rejecting popular trends while transcending them. She just doesn't seem to care what people think and loves everything goes her way. I repeat, GOES HER WAY (: Well well well, now it explains a lot then.
She is anti-cool, a subculture of one, and a follower of no one but herself. Yet, she never get in trouble though, because she never get caught! Likewise, her products push the limits of process, structure, and graphic design. She may seems like a small rock-gothic girl, but she's more than that. She rocks my socks off hard, but I just can't afford to subscribe all the novels. Plus, I won't read. But I think it's cool to have one! Heh!
Still in zhe bucket list of MUST HAVE!
(eventhough I failed in strumming)
Daddykinsssss!! I want one!! x))
Have a heart, will you? :O
