Haruka and Michiru's Top 10 Neko-chans from other lands:

10. Korean Minako: Does not have Artemis anymore because she got the munchies one night.
09. French Minako: Hasn't showered in 33 days and thinks that's a-okay.

Setsuna: Minako's Top 5 Fashion Disasters

The top five because I don't have "time" for this, the Queen is bawling for my attention. Congratulations on surviving another year, Minako. *smiles engimatically*

5. Pretty in Plaid - Minako went for the southern belle / funky fresh flower femme look,,, all at the same time.

4. Sunflower girl - Minako decided to show her "fresh face" to the world by placing a flower on her dress that was almost as tall as HER. Galling Freudian subtexts aside, her fans reportedly all suffered from massive asthmatic attacks due to their sudden pollination whilst asking for autographs.

3. Alien Idol - In one last attempt to make her mark as a super Idol, Minako went for this super surreal look, forever burning her image into the Japanese Public Eye as "that girl who looks like she's being attacked by a giant space butterfly and its army of neon hula hoops"

2. Marlboro Minako - Hungry for food, Minako accepted RJR Morris' proposal to do some modeling work for their "Lung Cancer? What me, Worry?" Campaign, leading to this unfortunate era in her fashion history. But nothing could beat:

1. The "buff duff" look - Minako's worst fashion faux pas probably got her episode 42 banned from the DiC airwaves. When Usagi-chan said "Minako is much more grown up than we are" she MEANT IT.

08. Haruka-san: I don't think you want anyone to know about how you tried to wear a speedo to the beach, or how you wear men's briefs to sleep and leave the toilet seats up!!
07. Michiru-san: Maybe the world would be scandalized if they knew you, the super-cultured one, still played with kid's toys!!
