  • Cotillard in Lady Blue Shanghai

    Well, no wonder I hadn’t heard about Lady Rouge since her appearance in the Lady Dior series’ Lady Noire. It’s because Marion’s been so busy, that they didn’t have the time to make it happen… instead? They made a music video featuring Eyes of Mars by Franz Ferdinand.

    *spazz* Marion in a red dress… and Marion in a suit. I’m a little iffy about her singing voice in that song, but the visuals more than make up for any of it. She’s rocking, and looking smoking hot.

    It would look so SO good on HD.

    But alas… I can’t access the video through the Lady Dior website at the moment.

    Anyway~~~ I am posting because Lady Blue has just been released~
    and you can view it over at the Lady Dior website.

    Directed by David Lynch (Mulholland Dr., Inland Empire).

    Look, I like Lynch’s films as much as the next cinephile, and I appreciate his storytelling and the things he does… but seriously? Lady Blue? It looked too much of a student film to be a high fashion piece. I could accept the hand-held camera and the dim moody lights, but the blurry lights (which I usually love) and the whole “this looks all shaky and stuff because it’s not reality” was just too much. I could barely pay any attention to the purse.

    Also, you do not get Marion on a Dior piece and make her gorgeousity blurry.

    but you know… you can watch for yourself, and have your own opinion.


  • Yu Aoi for So-En Magazine (re-post)

    I think the website that had the scans for the Boys Style So-En photoshoot is gone, so I took some of my late night hours, un-watermarked and cleaned up the images for re-posting.

    Call it… Yu Aoi archiving purposes. LOL

    Photos by Mie Morimoto, but you know~ It’s all about the style in this one, right?
    Stylist: Junko Kobashi
    Hair & Makeup: Takayuki Miyamori [who also did Yu as a Mori Girl]

  • 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.

  • Yu Aoi for Vogue Nippon Interview

    Once again, no subs ;P
    But you can still enjoy the interview.

    If I ever meet Yu-chan, I want her to introduce herself.
    It’s so adorable every single time she introduces herself, something about the way she says her name with the combination of “minna-san” xD “minna-san, Aoi Yu desu~” xD


  • Vogue Nippon: Women of the Year 2009 + Yu Aoi!!

    Was this announced before? Because I remember talking about Yu with Vogue for some November issue.

    From left to right – Ai Tominaga, Yu Aoi, Yukie Nakama, Shinobu Otake, Yayoi Kusama, Rie Miyazawa, Aya Ueto, Yukiko Motoya, and Ai Sugiyama

    I’m not sure if it’s a women of the year, or the decade though xD
    but I’m so happy for Yu (though not sure, since she didn’t have many projects out this year), and Happy Yu is so cute because you can’t help but smile when you see that smile.

  • SIRE Water Buffalo Horn Glasses

    I’m all over these! I’m telling you xD

    SIRE Glasses

    Take it away, electro plankton~

    … each frame is made of 7 thin layers of water buffalo horn exquisitely hand crafted and polished. The horn fibers run in opposite directions for strength and flexibility. No idea how much they cost but there are 3 standard frames and 3 corrective versions.

    On an off-topic matter.
    I haven’t decided whether to Live blog the Emmys tonight.
    We’ll have to wait and see…
