You should totally make a zine. Ichigo Directory and Cutie Archive are awesome! Awhile back, as part of my "Internet archaeology", I would look for link directory books like this...
...just to grab some URLs to fish out of the Wayback. My purpose was to make a link directory of old educational websites (only partially finished right now), but seeing the development of かわいい aesthetics would be superb. I like your notes so far.
A big head with giant doe eyes and a tiny little mouth right between them = maximum cute proportions Haha!
...Funnily enough, I just found a fellow Neocities-er who was trying to make a link directory out of that same book I mentioned as an example! https://earthlingplant.neocities.org/girltech.html Small world.
woah! @letslearntogether this is excellent stuff! will for sure be checking out that book. there's a lot to explore about the old web so there's always interesting stuff to reflect on:3 i would love to see you work more on your internet archaeology!
nice
