Woah~ seems like Yu is everywhere this May.
I’m loving it.
Like I’ve said before, Yu’s face on Raiou seems flawless. And she seems more grown up, I was a little taken by that. I feel so proud. LOL even though I’m younger… This is the Yu I like, the one that acts. I’m all over the voice she uses on that teaser. The screaming, it reminds me of Shiro.
A while ago Mario Testino opened his show Portraits for the first time here in Lima, Peru to re-open the Art Museum in town. Even Kate Moss showed up for the opening of the show – color me surprised.
As Lainey would say, I would cut a bitch to get my Mario Testino book Portrait — which I bought years ago, FYI — signed. But you know… things like that are hard to do. But my mom keeps telling me if Mario Testino shows up, she so totally will get my book for signing.
And, well, since no cameras are allowed inside, I couldn’t take any pictures of show… even worse with a Nikon big-ass lens camera. So this will have to do~~~
Since I already (and only) own Portraits — which was 3 times the price I paid for my copy — I ended up buying the Diana, Princess of Wales book, because I’m a sucker for those photographs. The natural light, it gets me. I’m pretty much sure I also overpaid for it, but oh well~
And then comes the news that Kate Moss (the book) by Mario Testino, in limited edition of 1500 signed copies of a little over 120 pages, will be 350 Euros and/or $472 USD. I mean, F*ck me twice on a Sunday~ You know I’ve been dishing a bit too much dough purchasing Photobooks, but 350 Euros? Damn.
Anyway, exhibit was… well, what I expected. There was a funny moment in which I saw a portrait of Jennifer Aniston almost facing Angelina’s portrait which was next to the Brad portrait.
Coincidence or conspiracy? xD
Just saw a glimpse of these on the tv, so I had to look it up.
Boy is pretty good. Let’s hope he keeps his voice, because… you know, he’s like 12? Plenty of time for changing voice, smoking, drugs and booze – those can mess up one’s pipes.
If he’s smart, he’ll make it out of his teens.
And he’s totally better than Bieber, the Jonas bros, or Miley for that matter.
Some non-Disney record company… scoop him up already!
First of all, “Hi, hello, Cate Blanchett as Lady Marion”
You were my favorite part of the film. Even though I was all like “Lady Marion in an armor?” I still liked it. She was multi-purpose that Lady Marion. She changed horseshoes, and took charge of the crops, and talked to the priests and bishops like it was her business. Even though it totally didn’t fit the period, I was all over it.
I am not sure if I’m reading correctly, but according to her website
She will be releasing a new book, which happens to be a Pop-up Book titled “うそっ。” – and well, I don’t know how to romanize that… is it call “Uso.” as in “Lie.” because Google keeps translating to “Bull.” which I’m guessing it’s not.
Published by Parco Factory, it will be released by late June at 3 990 Yen (roughly $50 USD) and will contain 16-high-quality A4-variant pages (6 pop-ups?) in full-color.
Damn. That’s pricey.
Parco Factory will also be doing an exhibit in Shibuya from summer to autumn (with possible future dates in Nagoya and Fukuoka) , which will be able to be enjoyed with 3D glasses… you know, the Blue and Red glasses. So you’ll be able to enjoy that, as well as getting the pre-release of the book.
Date: May 27, 2010 to June 14, 2010
Admission: General 500 Yen, Students 400 Yen / Elementary students for FREE.
And… there’s also an event with Yu.
Only 200 seats available, which apparently will be chosen by luck. [you can apply here]
Date: May 29, 2010
Venue: Shinekuinto (Shibuya Parco Part 3.8 F )
Time: 9.30pm to 10.30pm
Sorry, I can’t translate any more.
Well, it sucks to be Greek at the moment.
I mean, you guys, seriously.
Suck it up like all of Latin American economical crisis
(what IS the plural for crisis?)
Will The Mighty EU be able to help???
In the meantime, these are the first 2 episodes of The Greek Crisis Explained

Hyori-unnie, I really like you as a person, but I’d trade those high heels you got on for some comfy sport shoes and a rocking choreography. I really like when you start the car-thing, but really… those high heels don’t do anyone any justice on the dance floor.
Having said that, the net is BUZZING because you appear to be packing-a-six with you.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t see the six-pack even on HD, so if you wanna see the six-pack Hyori-unnie is showing off, you’re gonna have to head over to All KPop. If you want my “professional” observation, those abs are make-up. She’s got them, don’t worry… but those six she’s showing off on that screencap are too cinematically perfect. Yes, she’s got a hot body. Yes, she can totally kick ass on any Pop princess around the world.
Do I think you can have a Six-Pack-Off against Pink?
Maybe… we are in need of a six-pack assessment~~~ xD
After all, Pink has a MEAN six-pack.
So you know I don’t worship Janet Jackson. Okay, maybe a little.
Okay, now that THAT is out of the way. I was reading that Namie Amuro topped the random polls of “female singer with the best dancing skills“, ahead of BoA… who barely made the list. I thought to myself “Wow, she must really be something”. Because even if I don’t appreciate BoA for all her BoA-ness, I thought she totally killed it with her video of Eat You Up (even if the lyrics are pretty rubbish).
So this is my total non-biased opinion.
I YouTubed Namie Amuro, and came up with THIS performance for Girl Talk, which has over 100k views. Totally NOT impressed with the dancing. But something else called my attention.
Dude! Bad-ass with a heart.
Ip Man, for the people who don’t know, is Bruce Lee’s martial arts master.
Though, from the little info I could read on the real Ip Man, they do make him look like a total hero here. I mean, you watch the first Ip Man film [semi-biographical], and he’s painted like a real nice man who likes to spar with other martial artists. He’s just a family man, and good to everyone, but he does sure love his martial arts.
Ip Man is the hero. He is the man, and this is a total blockbuster, but with a lot more heart. I teared up a bit in parts, and I’m not even supposed to feel “patriotic” about it. But this is not about that, right? Wow, Ip Man… or I mean, Donnie Yen can totally kick ass.
I suspect my grandfather would have enjoyed this movie very much. My dad sure did.
And because Ip Man 2 [pretty much not biographical] has just opened in China and some other territories (including Australia, damn those lucky SOBs xD), Ip Man has been battling it out on the box office against Iron Man. However, despite Ip Man 2 not being as good as the original Ip Man… it totally beats Iron Man 2 to a pulp… in quality, not in box office power.
Yeah, sure. Ip Man 2 is a little bit Rocky and a little No Retreat, No Surrender — and all the many fighting movies — but I can’t deny Ip Man has a lot of heart. I mean, can’t get more patriotic than fighting to “defend all Chinese culture.” How was the line? Something like you can put me down, but not all Chinese martial arts?
And oh man, Bruce Lee was such a total cocky child actor.
*sighs* if he only were alive.
