An Asian on Occasion.

Ten Articles About the Author:

1. I like living in Seattle, nestled comfortably in a bamboo grove.

2. I like old films, gaming, spontaneous road trips, and singing.

3. I like witty banter because it is exhilarating and sexy.

4. I like driving fast... or as fast as I can manage.

5. I like cool music + hot musicians... a LOT.

6. I like to combine #4 and #5 often. Lather, rinse, repeat!

7. I like a great many things and am mercurial in my crushes.

8. I like pens, words, poetry, and books. It's fair to call me a word nerd.

9. I like hot buttered popcorn more than I should.

10. If you are curious about anything else, ask. I don't bite... much.

Oh yeah.  And I want her boots.  I know I already have a pair of red furry snow boots but I still covet these…
and his coat is pretty swank.  I’d lose the crest though.

I absolutely love her tights!  Meet Aami from the Shinjuku FRUiTS MIX boutique.  This was taken in Harajuku.  Her outfit consists of a Mihara Yasuhiro jacket, a knit scarf, a striped top, a pleated cheerleader skirt from a vintage/resale shop, bold printed tights and platform sneakers from Nadia.

I’ve just read that Tokyo’s Ueno Zoo will have a pair of giant pandas in residence for the first time since Ling Ling’s death in 2008.  This pair will be on loan from China with all offspring to return to China.  Their price tag?  Less than $1 million a year annually for the pair, Tokyo officials bargained a scant $50 thousand off their rental fee.
And I’ll wager the amount of panda-related kawaii merch will be insane.  Insane!
