  • Yu Aoi 2010 Calendar

    I wasn’t gonna post these — like I said, not a calendar person — , but ran into some okay scans,
    so now I’m looking for all of them. If you have them, resolution of 560px wide or more
    leave a link on the comments!

    I can totally see Dutch Milk Maid… or Hansel & Gretel. Ja?

  • Camouflage – Aoi Yu x Yottsu no Uso – Chapter 2

    Finally got the chance to watch the second chapter of Camouflage fully translated. Why? One, because I didn’t have the time, and when I had the time ViiKii wasn’t letting me stream.

    So… anyway! I’m pimping subscribers! I want more people to subscribe, and I guess most of the visitors are coming here for their Yu Aoi fix, so please. Add this blog to your Google, or your Yahoo…. or just add the blog’s Feed to any reader you use, that way you can keep up with your Yu Aoi reading. ;P

    Okay, pimp time is done.

    BARAIRO NO HIBI, or Rose-colored Days is the 2nd 3-episode chapter of Yu Aoi’s Camouflage, which aired a LONG time ago. The title seems to be a play on words on “rose-colored g lasses” (aka. pink-colored glasses) which refers to seeing something nicer than it normally is. A common word that is often used (and I often read about 5 years ago) was delusion. Delusional people aren’t really crazy per se, but they are living in an illusion that they’ve created.

    In this case, Yu’s character, Makoto.

  • SNL Portraits by Mary Ellen Matthews

    Sometimes SNL comes through with some pretty photos of their celebrity hosts, and their musical guests… some of them by Mary Ellen Matthews and Jed Root. One of my favorite ones of Natalie Portman. xD

  • Mario Testino and the Girls

    I can’t remember when I first saw a Mario Testino photograph, but I do own his book PORTRAITS, which is big and pretty and has loads of pretty photos too. I love it.

    You know Testino, right? If you don’t, think of any model of celebrity… and he’s probably photographed him. He’s photographed everyone but me, it seems. That’d be awesome, be photographed by Mario Testino. Come on, Mario! We can have food together in Lima. It’ll be fun. LOL

    So now it will be a Mario Testino day~~~

    I love his photography best when he goes simple. I really seem to not be able to stand most his high fashion photography though. I always feel it’s forced… like when he shoots Natalie Portman, and I love her. And she’s got some awesome photoshoots, but her Testino work doesn’t seem to click.

    But I do love his almost naked composition, over-exposed, natural light, grainy and slightly out of focus. There’s something about that style that makes me tingle. Many of those last photos of Princess Diana are like that. They’re gorgeous.
