Lost but looking good

by Lee on 8/25/2010

All dressed up with somewhere to go, but where the bloody hell said somewhere is obviously isn’t as forthcoming for some as fashion sense.

Kimono cool

by Lee on 6/22/2010

After living in Tokyo for what some would consider a terribly long time, it has to be said that the likes of rabbits being taken out and about, and rabid Nazis traipsing about, can become rather unremarkable — run-of-the-mill even.

And yet kimonos, with their resplendent colours and classic cool, could never become that.

Quite the opposite in fact.

by Lee on 6/7/2010

When it’s particularly hot out, and a full day of fishing is favoured, fending off the sun rather than any foray into fashion has to be to the fore.

Dyed diminutive dog

by Lee on 5/27/2010

Japan’s fondness for dainty and diminutive dogs shows no sign of fading, with miniature mutts milling about all over the metropolis. But having a canine that is considered cute is apparently not good enough anymore, with clothes and carrying contraptions deemed de rigueur — the former, in particular, now so normal that it’s increasingly unusual to see a not so big dog naked.

And then even when one does, it seems natural colourings clearly aren’t cute enough.
