Unintentional Lain cosplay?

Some of you may know that my wife, Carol (@raphaela235 on Twitter) is a style blogger. Since early last year, I've been helping Carol with her blog (In Pursuit of Pretty Things), and she's really turned into a real blogger. Sure, I blog for work, but in terms of keeping up a personal blog, you probably know I haven't posted much these past few years (not counting my Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ activity). In any case, I'm not here to make excuses. I simply have something to share that's related to my wife and serial experiments lain (the reason this blog is called lainspotting).

Last April, Carol posted an OOTD (outfit of the day) photo, something she routinely does on IPoPT. When I saw it, it seemed so familar. Here's the photo in question:

So, what do you think, lain fans? Does it remind you of anything?

Maybe it's a total stretch on my part, but here's what I immediately thought of:

It's just a coincidence, of course, but I thought it was funny and weird enough to share. Carol isn't huge fan of lain like I am, and she's never cosplayed as an anime character before. It just goes to show, Lain will show up in your life if you simply allow yourself to spot her.

    I kinda see it! I love lain and only got into it in late 09 so i've had the time of my life watching and interpreting it. I plan on re watching it once more now that i've completed my critical thinking class (last time I saw it I had just finished philosophy and that was real fun). Its nice to see other people get the same kick out of it as I do.

    I think this is more a case of things being seen than things being there.

    It's cool to see that Lain has had such a cultural impact that even everyday items can take on new meaning and be a part of the fandom. Lain has transcended its original medium and has become part of popular culture, creating a community of fans who appreciate it for its aesthetics, symbolism, and themes. It's interesting to see how something as simple as a coat can have such a deep and lasting impact on people, and it's a testament to the power of art to inspire and connect people from all over the world.

    Anyway, get the best tiling in Victoria from a trusted company like www.tilingvictoria.ca.
