She looks amazing for 35. I would have guessed 21 or 22. I love her whole outlook and esthetic.

Had that Blade Runner vibe going on with the music that was playing.

Could you share the song from Jingle Punks?

[@henryalicea6359]

Wow, simply amazing to think that she did all that by herself with just the muse of anime and manga. Who knows maybe I could do something like that too.well maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself but one thing is for sure Julie is really awesome

[@Spidermanbatmanworf]

she has a clear perspective on her own sense of what is interesting and worth exploring, i just dont share it
but hey, the pursuit is half the beauty

[@OcsisnarfGhost]

That way of thinking and living her life is beautiful

[@youthculture523]

What a pleasant workspace

[@PhillipHunsberger]

I always love creative stuff like this. So inspiring to me.

[@Ed_Lad]

I felt that was a little dark at the end, interesting though

[@TheJtjensen]

I am analog in a digital world.

[@xboxallin2953]

I completely agree with her commentary concerning the internet's influence on "otaku" culture. The geek, nerd or subculture is "popular" now and actually becoming quite mainstream. Of course, this will happen once you give people with the same interests the right tools to communicate with each other. In this sense the internet has been a Godsend. Great video!

[@eazypop]

wow! julie is cute!!

[@HomoSapiensMember]

Otaku culture, like any other, is not a step towards anything, it is a mere nother variable to consider when computing net worth.

[@holdenchevrotine6549]

Wow she is beautiful, I love your style.

[@Oshanii]

saw this on tumblr about which I'm kinda surprised.

[@JosephHenryDrawing]
