Instead of exposing myself to the madness of going to the Expo 25 thing while staying in Osaka, I did the much more relaxed, cheaper and probably more interesting alternative and visited the Expo 70 memorial park.

As any cis woman can tell you, beauty and fashion advice is generally all about fitting into a narrow ideal.
