When Issey Miyake meets Licca Chan

Licca-chan is perhaps the most famous doll from Japan, having captured the styles and culture of Japan and the world since 1967.

Licca’s limited edition designs are in high demand in the collector’s market, and this is the very limited Pleats Please – Issey Miyake Licca doll for the high-fashion set.

Designed by Issey Miyake, this Licca doll was already off the market after a mere 2-week run time, and has been limited to only 1000 pieces.


The outfit is modern, avant garde , and highly versatile.

A preproduction of the actual runway outfit.

It’s also only available in Japan.


Q ... or else where online if you're prepared to pay hell lot.

Supermodel Femme Bot

While robots certainly come in many shapes and sizes, they tend to be, by and large, masculine.

Seeing the lack of representation of the fairer sex, Tomotaka Takahashi (below; famous tech-designers seldom look this good, btw) took on the task of creating a robot that didn't just look female, but moved in a feminine way as well.

Thus the FT (female type) robot was born.

The FT is a fine diva that can perform a graceful catwalk with all the twists, turns and poses of a supermodel.

Her creator Tomotaka Takahashi believes that half all the robots that will be created in the future will be females.

While making FT he consulted with professional models on how to give FT a feminine walk and posture.

Her lean, athletic frame made up of 23 motors and 2 gyroscopes, and needs a checkup twice a year; needing to be maintained biannually by a robotic gynaecologist.

Of the two FT’s built one is going up for auction and the bidding starts at $300,000.

Dollars, not Yen.

Mind you.

Do I smell the coming-era of 'Femme Bot Supermodels?' ^^

Posture, picture, proportion and pose perfect.

Never an 'off-season'.

Always flawless in cut and shape.

Ageless.

Never in a need for a liposuction, botox or plastic surgery to 'fix anything hanging'.

Forever Fabulous.

Adding to that, impeccable professionalism, glowing personality and fashionably .... punctual. (most models aren't)


***Directive: 'FIERCE'. ***

Q ... Just imagine, there might come a day where FT can memorise, recall, process and emulate any top model's facial expressions, walks and poses. Then make it all her own. Amazing.

Black is the Nu-White

See.... I told you Black is GORGEOUS !!!

(Black has a 'feeling of clean'.And who are we to argue)

"Black is back in Japan, with everyday household items and health goods taking on a darker tone to show casual luxury and sophistication."

so says Japan's Trend Shop.

Indeed, anything that looks cheap should have no place in your designer-living rooms. :-P

And that includes that hooker you picked up round the street corner.

And guys... using these to clean up you , ahem, spunk , may not be such a great idea 'cos it's a little too obvious isnt it?

haha

LMAO.

Q

' I Luv Lu-Shi ! '

A fusion of Sensuality and Gastronomy.

Sushi is not merely food; but a culinary expression of art and delicacy.

Gourmet experience is taken to a whole new level as the model's inherent beauty and energy enhances the exquisite cuisine.

The body temperature is just ideal to allow for the best sushi there is.

The body is fragrance-free cleansed, shaved and laid over with gauze and banana leaves before the freshest and finest sushi-creations are placed over in a Decorative work of Art.

The presentation is elaborate, grand and ritualistic.

Like the purity that is sushi, nyotai mori diners should approach this culinary experience, not as an act of discrimination and perversity, but like the food, is exquisite and pure; celebrating the Beauty and Warmth of a Woman and the celestial touch of a Culinary Master.

Only for the Well-heeled.


For the rest of us, it's Food for Thought... ^^

Q

>>Oh , BTW, before some readers go all Anti-Feminist on me, there is a Male-version called nantai-mori. it's for those of you who are so over male-strippers on Hen's Night.:)

Celebrating Oriental Beauty

The Caucasian standard for beauty has been a benchmark for women all over the world for decades.

But

2007 marks the acceptance of Oriental Beauty on the World stage.

Apparently.

Miss Universe 2007 is from Japan, 20-year old Riyo Mori.


And recently,

Miss World 2007 is from China, 23-year-old Zhang Zhi Li


But is this just another beauty 'in-season' obsession? A passing fad and fancy?

Observe the trend on the world stage for Beauty pageants:

The late 80's were the white Americans of A . The early 90's were the African-Americans of A. The mid 90's marked the dominance of South American Beauties . The late 90's and early 2000's were the Indians. Now, the Orientals?

What next? South East Asians? :-P

Woo!!!

PS: Although, I have a sneeky suspicion that Miss China won the Miss World this year, purely on the basis of political clout. The pageant itself was held on Hainan Island, China. The 2008 Olympics is in China too.

Hint hint.

So what if she's the tallest gal in the competition? Still only a giraffe will get onto the cover of National Geographic.


Miss Angola shud have won. She's the hot one. ^^
