Heri is one of the Grimoire girls who experiments wildly with hair colour, and it always turns out so perfectly.

I got very lucky and found several boys dressed in dolly kei, and now I sort of feel like Indiana Jones.
This is also a really clever way to wear tassels, to use the cord and create some knot work with it.
black forest mori: if a mori girl is a sheep, the black forest girl is the wolf. She and the romantic goth have many interests in common, the metaphysical and the macabre are as fascinating and beautiful a facet of nature as life and light. Rather than letting the “memento mori” idea get them down in the dumps, they allow it to let them appreciate living while respecting death. Humor about both is essential to them and the classic gothic motifs like bats, spiders, spiderwebs and crosses are cute and charming to them.
The black forest girl wears lots of black, dark blue, blood red and gray. She would be completely camouflaged in the night. Black Forest girls also enjoy “primal” and “primitive” looking makeup, for lack of a better word. Their faces are inspired by Egypt, various African tribes, Celtic warrior paint, Native American and other ‘tribal’ or ancient looks.
The Mexican holiday El Dia De Los Muertos also draws a large amount of their attention and fascination, and as such their favorite flowers would include marigolds and sunflowers and roses.

I doubt that all the people portrayed in this photoset self identify as Dark Mori girls. But, it’s a cute new classification.
I like the idea and the aesthetic, maybe a bit of combination with the darker and more morbid sides of Dolly Kei? But keeping the flow-y natural-y Mori side? Maybe taking something from dark fairies/witches that people dress as in the more ren-fair -y subculture in America. By the way, the word would be Kurai (Dark) Mori (which is I think an anime…) or Kuro (black) Mori. Mori already means forest, so black forest mori is black forest forest… Maybe some bad engurish? Burakku Foresutu? Burakku Mori?
