  We two have run about the slopes, and picked the daisies fine ; But we’ve wandered many a weary foot, since auld lang syne... Have a good night frocketeers and revellers! Here's to 2011 bringing you double rainbow like joy and wonder. Werd. ...

For those with a penchant for Murakami... I'm so disappointed that this film is being released 3 days after I leave Japan. Timing fail. ...

the chairlift.

7:53 PM
Here's a lil' video I made of riding a chairlift up Mt Takao. O the beautiful views! O the disconcerting lack of safety. And yes, I am a 'fraidey cat, wimp & a wuss for being a little scared of falling out of the sky and rolling down a mountain. Here's a lil' video I made of riding a chairlift up Mt Takao....

Japan

yearn for yukata

10:44 PM
I enjoy wearing a Yukata. I like the lightness of the fabric, the patterns, the shape, ect. If you stay in a Ryokan in Japan, a Yukata is usually provided. Which explains the common occurrence of silly samurai/geisha poses in many tourist's snapshots (which i may or may not have in my photo album). I think it's a garment I might start circulating...

Japan

give me a sign.

11:30 PM
"I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes"- Ace of Base speaks the truth.  The streets of Tokyo are littered with streets signs denoting cafes, salons, clothing stores, you name it. They are numerous, bold, whimsical and yes- perhaps, some of them are a little lost in translation but nevertheless, they catch the eye. I delight in my daily dose of...

I love this Evil Twin leotard from last season. Actually, I love a lot of pieces from Evil Twin from any given season. They are a solid Australian label. Snaps for courageous fashion efforts! Check out more of their diabolical threads here. ...

Shojin Ryori

12:25 AM
A couple of nights ago I ate a spectacular dinner, one of the best meals of my life. It wasn't at a Michelin starred or chef hatted restaurant nor was it trendy, faddish, fusion or any other food buzz word. It was honest, fresh, simple yet elegant and a vegetarian's dream; it was Shojin Ryori (devotion cuisine) at a temple in the mountains....

Leonard Cohen

Feels So Good

11:39 PM
I saw Leonard Cohen live in concert last night and fell deeper in love with his songs and sentiments (and the man himself!) than I thought possible. He was as sharply dressed and well spoken as ever, he skipped around the stage with vitality, sang on bended knee and wore his heart on his sleeve with every verse he sang (for almost 3...

covet: pink hair.

4:23 PM
Hello reader, meet an important figure from my childhood. No - not Robocop, the other one. That's right, I'm talking about 80's cartoon pop sensation; Jem. She was the leader of the Holograms and I wanted to be her. Now, I would settle for just her hair do; a wild mane of cotton candy coloured locks. Truly. Outrageous. An animated pink coiff is...
