    You gotta read the pitches, SO GOOD.

  • Hoverboard by Nils Guadagnin

    You know Back to the Future? xD
    You know the hovering skate board Marty used?

    I would so totally try to get this if it worked.

    The Hoverboard is a project made by Nils guadagnin, a young french artist. This work is born in 2008 for an exhibition named “Back To the future”.

    It is a copy of the hoverboard from the movie Back to the Future II. Integrated into the board and the plinth is an electromagnetic system which levitates the board. A laser system stabilises the object in the air.

  • Yu Aoi Talks About the 3D Exhibit and Book

    I won’t really link to the article because it mainly mentions her private life, and I know the video does mention it  a bit, but her people — because that was “her people”, right? ushered reporters away in the end.

    Can I just say the exhibit looks pretty awesome? A room with big pictures of Yu Aoi… in 3D and those cute 3D glasses is a win for me.

    I bothered to get some of the captions…

    “蒼井優展を開くきっかけは”
    The Yu Aoi Exhibit to Open

    “個展を開くにあたっての感想は”
    Your impressions on the opening of the exhibit

    “実際に見た感想は”
    The impressions on what you see (?)

    “うそ をテーマにした訳は”
    Conclusions of the theme of “Lies.”

    “うそ をついたことは”
    Ever lied? (?)

    and a last caption pertaining her private life.

    Anyway… I think it’s funny hearing all the giggles in the background, it makes it look like all the female reporters are totally smitten by her. Though, to be fair… I think Japan is smitten with any of their celebrities.

  • Anna May Wong…

    I am now obsessed with.

    Been reading a lot about her, so now it’s peaked my interest.

    Not gonna write anything about her [but you can google her, if you want], because she’s part of the main article I’m writing for YAM, which will be coming out in almost 2 weeks.

    I’m so delusional that…

    ANNA MAY WONG – is so totally me. HAHAHA.

    Plus, I love that photo 3P
    Still from Daughter of the Dragon – film stills were so much cooler before, right?

  • Lee Hyori for Guerilla Date Interview

    Hmm… wouldn’t it be GUERRILLA? Just saying.

    Julz has decided to send me anything regarding Hyori (or Bi), and well… can’t really complain, can I? But to be honest, this Guerilla Date show scares the crap out of me. Fans in hordes scare me.

    Having said that, Hyori is such a good idol. She is SO charismatic, and she’s not scared of making fun of herself — maybe that comes from hanging out so much with Jaesuk. OJO! I didn’t say she’s a great artist or performer, I said idol. She’s got so much personality, and you can’t help but keep looking.

    Hyori cracked me up with talks about comparisons with Beyonce and Lady Gaga… blond wigs, and smiling with her gums. Don’t worry, unnie. Your smiling face is the best ;P

  • Joe Odagiri and Chiaki Kuriyama for New Satoshi Miki Drama

    Two of my favorite people are teaming up with one of my fave Japanese directors for a new drama for Asahi TV. Joe Odagiri was set to star on Atami no Sousakan (熱海の捜査官, Atami Investigators?), a series directed by Satoshi Miki (Turtles Swim Faster than Expected, Instant Swamp) that will start airing on Asahi TV on July 2nd (Friday) at 11.15pm. And now, Chiaki Kuriyama (Kill Bill) has joined the cast.

    Now… wonder, is anyone subbing this, or am I watching this and figuring out the plot as I go. LOL

  • Katie Couric Interviews Jane Lynch

    One of the highlights of Glee — besides the over the top sap, musical numbers, and teenager-ness — is how crass Sue Sylvester is. I still worship the “Yes, We Cane” line.

    Anyway, on a very candid 30-min interview, Couric asks pretty much everything about Lynch, from her beginnings as an actress, on why Glee is such a big hit, and why people love Sue Sylvester. My favorite bit of the whole thing? Couric asking Lynch about people that can’t accept gay people. Lynch’s response?

    There are some people who will never shift. And that’s OK. They’ll probably be dead soon.

    Totally burst out laughing.

    Interview below the break~

  • Rain and Lee Hyori Dance Parodies~

    Of course, you do know I pimped Bi and Hyori to western audiences last week.
