It is a well known fact that Wong Kar Wai is one of the best directors in the world. There is no possible discussing or arguing on this point. It is a fact. It is as much a fact as that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. That’s it.
One of my personal favourites out of all of Wong Kar Wai’s movies is definitely “Fallen Angels” – it is a weird, very trippy, psychedelic 1995 Hong Kong movie about a hitman on assignments and his lovers. Yeah, told ya it’s trippy :)
I think I keep going on and on and on about how painfully hot Michael Fassbender is in (my) real life that I don’t ever feel the need to put it in writing on the blog. Yes, I mean painfully – it hurts all of my inner organs each time I think of him because my entire body just goes into spasms of uncontrollable happiness and longing. I just go on about it so much that it’s like a constant mental state of zoned out awareness – *mental-awareness-of-Michael-Fassbender’s-hotness* – it’s a whole new type of zen meditation if you will…back-of-mind meditation on the glorious being that is Fassbender…
So anyway, I realised that I hadn’t been gracing the blog with my mind-numbing Michael Fassbender obsession, so I just thought I’d give it a go now – why not? A mid-week pick-me-up if you will? I know everyone’s obsessed with him now he flashed the dong in Shame but I’d like to take this opportunity to state in writing that my obsession with the Fassy started way way before Shame – probably more like “Fish Tank”? And then there was “Inglorious Basterds” – which the rest of y’all were still going on about Brad I had totes moved onwards and upwards into the world of Fassbender worship.
If a girl or woman is really beautiful, I’ll be the first person to say so. I can totally say a woman is hot. No ego, no jealousy – if the chick is hot, she’s hot and there’s aint no way around it, so be it and so I let it be.Actually I much more than just let it be – I proactively admire. I appreciate beauty in every form – and women can be extremely beautiful.
So I’ve been perusing my very own list of hot women (now super easily managed on my Pinterest – Beautiful People)…and I spot a tendency for the hot, dark, sultry, passionate Latina/ Mediterranean type of lady actually…not all, not all, but quite a few…so I thought I’d pull them together into a little hotlist of female hotness – why not?
Today’s top 3 of sultry hotness: Penelope Cruz, Monica Bellucci and Eva Mendes.
So while in Tokyo, one of my favourite malls was definitely Shibuya 109 – it’s where the Japanese teenage girls apparently hangout and do their shopping (don’t ask me how they can afford it, because the prices are absolutely mental!) – as obviously we have nothing of the sort over here it reminded me the online store that used to be my absolute favourite – between 2003 and 2007 I basically placed at least 1 order every month on this website – the one and only YesStyle.com - of course – the ultimate online home of urban Asian streetstyle!
It’s been a very very long time since I browsed the aisles of YesStyle.com – my favourite were always the Korean designers, but let’s have a look at what’s new!
And guess what?! Which it’s amazing prices – it might have just lured me back into it’s evil dark den of affordable unique Asian streetstyle again – dammit! Though now with all the extra weight, as in – now that I am no longer anorexic I’m not sure I’ll fit into most of this?! I needed to order Large back then…
Am LOVING all the asymmetric action (yeah, probably my first love – might love it even more than thigh splits ya know) they’ve got going on right now:

So yes, Angelina Jolie might be the ultimate queen of a thigh split dress but I’d like to think I am a mini-champion of them myself – my most recent purchase in the thigh split department being – this funky salmon split thigh action – to be spotted live in action sometime somewhere soon!
My love for a split thigh has a long history, but to be entirely honest it had kind of faded recently, but fear not – it is back with a vengeance and I have every intention of rocking many a split thigh this summer…
So – following on from past posts on Tokyo like Tokyo Fashion Streetstyle (will be posting my very own snaps from Harajuku soon!) and Tokyo lights in pure neon (have some gorgeous neon + cherryblossom pics coming up soon!) – today I bring you a Sushi Special!
Obviously one of the first thing most people think of when they think Japan is “sushi”. You’d be surprised at how little sushi they actually eat. It’s kind of like coming to London and assuming all English people eat fish & chips every single day all day long.
Being in Tokyo we had to obviously sample some premium sushi given that we love it anyway and we were now in the home of sushi – surely we can find sushi here that puts any and all sushi in London to shame, Nobu, Roka and all?! And hell yeah, you bet there is!
Our lovely friend TY took us to the most amazing sushi restaurant in Tokyo. It’s called Nagomi and it’s on the outskirts of Tokyo – you’re definitely going to need a car to get there. But the trip is more than worth it – the sushi master is the loveliest man in the world and the sushi itself? It’s the best, freshest, most flavoursome, delicate, delicious and generally all-round most amazing sushi you will ever have in your life. That’s it really. Not much more to be said.
I’ve always liked tempura – but this tempura was the most amazing tempura I have ever had in my life. I didn’t even know tempura could be this delicious.
I decided I would try everything – so, yes even this starter of raw squid found it’s way to the bottom of my stomach – for which my vegetarian stomach was not very grateful, but it needed to be done.
Marie has this giant oyster – she says it was the best oyster she ever had, it most definitely was the biggest oyster we have ever seen, anywhere, ever.
And then we both had some more amazing sushi – with egg, fish eggs, sea weed, crab, salmon, tuna and some little kind-of-a-fish-I-think which had eyeballs…
This is the gorgeous entrance to this amazing little restaurant. Beautiful memories for life. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I’m totally running out of words to describe it, so I’m going to stop writing now. Arigato Gozaimas!
Yes, we know that the lace trend is going to be huge this year (yes, what goes around comes around, so a bit predictable but what shall we do ya know)…and I’m not hating, I love me a bit of lace actually – I just don’t know if I can really pull it off – especially in bright colours. But then I am a bit old-school that way, I’m also against brightly colour underwear – bright pink lace bra you say? Not in my wardrobe, oh no! It’s all about black, black, a hint of grey, maybe a dash of red but then back to more black and black and yeah, just black.
Anyway – with this whole lace trend thing going on I’m not particularly surprised that the leading ladies of the red carpet have been spotted in quite a bit of lace lately. But what does surprise me is that palest and pastiest of British actresses seem to be rocking bright red lace. Really? You pay a professional stylist to convince you that bright red lace is doing your complexion any good? Someone needs to be fired. A couple of people probably.
