Emily's full name is Emily the Strange. She is one of the products of Cosmic fragment, a new American clothing brand. The origin of this brand began at 1992, when a group of poor students with creative talents printed their designs on T-shirts and hung them on trailers for sale. Among them, Emily, who originally had only T-shirts and stickers, was very popular because of her long black hair and expressionless alienation.
The two main colors of Strange Emily series are black and red, and the protagonists are little girls and black cats. Every once in a while, new products are launched, but the strange and strange feeling of another world runs through. People always say that women are like cats. The combination of these two fickle and confusing animals is self-evident.
Strange, strange is Emily's last name. Apart from coming from a strange family, Emily is naturally unsociable and maverick. Emily is also addicted to all mysterious and dark substances, and is keen to appear with castles, skulls, spiders, bats and death roses. She will always be 13 years old, largely because the number 13 represents curse and bad luck in people's eyes, just like her black cat. Emily even has a prediction machine called "Oddisee 8-Ball". Generally speaking, Emily believes in mysticism, and we can all say that Emily is a real little witch.
In the western world, a girl named Emily usually gives people the impression that she is petite, quiet, reserved and inner-beautiful. For example, in the19th century, there were two literary celebrities named Emily: Emily Dickinson, a reclusive poetess in the United States, and emily bronte, a famous British Bronte three sisters, who wrote Wuthering Heights. Affected by Emily's self-confinement, Emily strange's slogan is "I want you to leave me alone" and "My problem is you". Emily is a loner, undisturbed by her lover, and the only creature lucky enough to accompany her is her four black cats: mystery; Who is closest to Emily, decorated with five-pointed stars; Miles; Who has a scar on his eye runs fastest; The lack of horn in the right ear often appears on the Sabbath; In the distance; The cleverest Nee Chee has a flower tail and six claws on each foot. Like the Chinese zodiac, every cat has its own logo.
Emily can be indifferent and indifferent to all progressive and meaningful things, and is a negative nihilist. But she has a very strong hobby: rock music. Emily admires many original bands in the history of rock and roll, such as "Gate Band" and "Cursed Band". She also dreams of releasing her own rock album. Emily's fascination with loud music is not difficult to understand when it comes to her background. Emily, a cartoon girl, was born in 1992 in California, USA, and was designed by local skateboarder Rob Reger. Just as Rob Reger gave Emily all spirituality, American West Coast culture influenced R.R. from the bone. As we all know, California is the hometown of psychedelic drugs, the hometown of Psychemedic rock, the breeding ground of hippies, and the hardest hit area of punk rock since the 1970s. Since high school, R.R. has traveled to various cities in California to watch punk rock performances. His whole personal concept and work style are deeply infiltrated by punk spirit.
1992, R.R. created Emily only for a skateboarding company in Santa Cruz. Unexpectedly, the cartoon image was very popular after its launch, and R.R. even benefited from it, and started his own cartoon company with friends: cosmic debris. Now Emily is the first brand of cosmic dust, with a huge fan base and a multi-million dollar product assembly line around the world. Peripheral products include books, clothing, ornaments, puppets and so on. Although Cosmic Dust didn't set up Emily's exclusive store in Chinese mainland, if you look closely, you can easily find Emily's knockoffs in small shops in dark alleys of the city, with prices ranging from 1 yuan to 50 yuan. If a girl happens to like Emily, and these imitations are of good workmanship, it is worth buying and collecting.
Emily series icon wallpaper, Flash games, online music and peripheral product catalogs are available for fans to enjoy and play. In the face of more and more Emily fans, Emily said in an interview: it's strange when we are alone; When we are in the crowd, we are strangers; When all Emily fans get together, we are the strangest. It is strange when we are alone, and it is even stranger when we are alone.
In the crowd, when we are all together, it feels strange. )
Emily is only 13 years old, but she already has an adult attitude towards life:
"Emily does not pursue a sense of belonging; She pursues being lost. "
"Emily is not evil, she just means no good."
"Emily is not lazy, she just enjoys doing nothing."
She only wore a black sleeveless dress with shiny black hair and cold eyes. Although she is not as horrible as Sadako, it is enough to make some people feel chilling. It was a mysterious and deep chill.
She likes exploring, creating, investigating, and superstitious about black 8-ball prophecy.
The thing about a freak is that everything she does runs counter to the world.
She doesn't kill or set fires, but she is a rebellious girl who loves to play bad; She won't mess with you, but if you mess with her, you're in big trouble.
Because of this young and rebellious mentality, she is very popular with American young people in their twenties, especially the black goth group, who think she is cool.
From the continuous purchase of her "replica" T-shirts in the local area, it can be seen that Emily has also begun to form a force in the local area!
As a comic heroine, how can there be no pet protector around? Emily has four mysterious black cats as her confidants: Nee Chee, who has six claws on each foot and knows all the secret passages in the city, is the most magical; Miles is the most agile; Mysterious, with Emily the longest time, is the most "old bird"; The Sabbath is the youngest.
Emily is the most famous and best-selling creation of American T-shirt design group Cosmic Debris. Space debris is composed of street racers and skateboarders Matt Reed and Rob Reger (no wonder they project their rebellion on Emily because of their street background). At the beginning of 1993, only Emily T-shirts and stickers were introduced, but after 10, it developed into a series of products: T-shirts are indispensable, as well as umbrellas, backpacks, wallets, necklaces, stationery, notebooks, address books, lockable diaries, watches, picture books, cotton-padded clothes and so on. Even in the store in San Francisco, I saw seven different designs of Emily underwear, which can be worn from Monday to Sunday!
Emily is by no means a weak anime girl. She even has her own skateboard products and street clothes. This is the envy of many Japanese Kawaii cartoon characters.
If Emily has sisters, only the girl who squints at others in Nara Yoshitomo can be as bad as her. In a wave of Japanese cartoon characters without edges and corners, Emily is a different kind, which is also a unique selling point of her appearance. When she published the Japanese translation, she specially asked Utoda to translate it.
Emily and Emily Dickinson, a reclusive poetess in America19th century, are very similar in appearance and temperament. When the poetess was alive, her work style was very fresh and unique, but at that time, many readers could not accept it and found her syntax and seclusion style "weird". It was not until the 20th century that she was hailed as one of the greatest poets in America.
The fly in the ointment is that Emily is just a cartoon character who has been extended into a trend idol because of T-shirt culture. Her background story is actually very thin, so I'm afraid it can't attract more readers into her world. So we can only be satisfied with buying her products and wearing her products. In fact, comic book fans with discerning eyes will see that Emily's rebellion is just a gesture worn by young girls.
