  • Kate Winslet for Vogue UK by Mario Testino

    Triple threat post!

    Kate Winslet + Kate Winslet’s hair + Mario Testino x)

    I gotta say I love that haircut, and my shortsightedness has never been able to imagine Kate Winslet would rock such a haircut. But wow, plus~ Mario Testino.

    Always said I like his portraits more than his fashion photography, but then again I’m not into fashion. Unless it’s totally fierce, they look fake to me. I usually hate them.

    But these? *swoon*

    Pure fierce~

  • The Sounds’ Maja Ivarsson for Sebastian Professional Hair!

    Heh, heh.

    You know I love hair. And I love The Sounds (not as much as I used to, but still like them). Plus, she looks very rocking, even if it’s the same coloring… I just like the emphasis on the hair xD

  • Yu Aoi – Yogashiten ~ Daisuki Sweets – Best 88 ~

    I guess I could translate Daisuki Sweets to Sweets that I Love (the best).

    There’s a new special issue by Magazine House that has just been released. My understanding is that it’s got write-ups on Yu’s favorite pastries, and stuff like that. I even read something about her grandma’s banana bread?

    Obviously, this is to promote her upcoming film Yogashiten Coin de Rue, which opens on February 11th.

  • Yu Aoi x Ayumi Ito for H Magazine

    Please, I finally have found out about this photoshoot. I didn’t really recognized Ayumi Ito on this, since I wasn’t really THAT familiar with her work when I found the pictures, and I was probably too embarrassed to ask anyone about this shoot… because, the photos actually make me feel kind of uncomfortable LOL

    And you know I wouldn’t post photos just for posting. I wanted to know, and I finally figured it out.

    Whenever I see Yu-chan sharing a photoshoot with a co-star — usually male — it’s weird, like really awkward. I always thought it was a Japanese thing… have no chemistry, or barely touching your co-star. It’s something that worked with Ninomiya in that Tekkon photoshoot, because it’s him… and he’s pretty much sexless to me. LOL

    I have no idea if it’s because Ayumi Ito is really REALLY awesome, and that Yu Aoi really gets along with her, but this photoshoot made me re-think my whole “it’s a Japanese thing” theory. Maybe it’s because Yu-chan feels more comfortable doing this stuff with girls — because there’s no sexual tension… or if she doesn’t get along with most her male co-stars. Or maybe it is a cultural thing, and it’s wrong in Japan to see her getting cozy with her male co-star for a shoot~~~

    Anyone can explain? Enlighten us~~~

  • Yu Aoi + Juri Ueno for FRaU Magazine Covers

    Not together, because that would be too much awesomeness for one cover.

    And because Juri’s is the latest one — promoting her upcoming Taiga drama… CAN’T WAIT O_O — it goes before the break~

  • Zhao Wei for Harper’s Bazaar

    Sorry, no photographer credit that I could “read.”

     

    Zhao Wei’s (aka. Vicky Zhao) Harper’s Bazaar January cover~~~ pure gorgeousity. Her skin is flawless and oh-so-clear, with that combination of colors in her dress, the tinge on the photograph, and the colors in the background, she’s wow — I can’t believe she just had a baby. LOL

    Wait… if she has a baby – does that make her a MILF? Woah. So weird since she looks so young~ xD

    Anyway~~~ Zhao Wei’s interesting on screen, but on photos I’ve always had a problem with her nose. Sometimes, when the shot is not right… it seems large, and it sticks out a lot. I don’t know if it’s an issue with the camera lens, or if it’s a photo angle issue… but in this particular shot – she looks perfect.

  • Emma Watson by Mario Testino for Vogue UK

    Is this the 2nd or 3rd time Testino has photographed Watson?

    I’m not exactly jumping up and down for Emma Watson film projects, but I am glad she’s grown up to be a well-rounded adult that doesn’t feel the need to rebel against “the man”. Rebel for the sake of rebelling.

    Thank you, Emma, for showing us that there’s child stars like you.

  • Cool Point If You Spotted Tuva Novotny!

    Chances are that if you know who Tuva Novotny is, you weren’t actually interested in watching Eat, Pray, Love… unless you’re a really hardcore Novotny fan. Or that if you’ve willingly gone to the theater to watch it, that you have no idea who Novotny is.

    So cool points for you if you watched Eat, Pray, Love and you said:
    “Hey, that’s Tuva Novotny! That’s Smala Susie, or Annelie~” xD

    And she was speaking some Italian, which I found kinda hilarious.

    But then again, I’m just really good with faces.

    Some picspam!

    Oh, hi there Rachel McAdams~

  • Mia Wasikowska for Dazed & Confused

    How did I miss this photoshoot? And this is one more reason why Mi Wasikowska is not so Mori Girl — this Sunday Magazine photoshoot by Georges Antoni. Wasikowska looks so fierce with short hair O_O
