turn up the heat


The blossoms over the water in Inokashira park, Kichijoji scream 'spring' although the temperatures have not let us get even close to thinking about tshirts and shorts.

The waterways of Nakameguro put on a spectacular display as the blossoms stood up to the freezing cold winds.

A Japanese friend told me that Sakura come out only after three consecutive days of 15 plus temps...I guess I just can't remember those three days.
The flowers are devine and it is easy to see why they are so loved and precious. So fragile; they are already starting to loose their petals and after tonight's forecasted rain, no dount the beautiful blossoms will shed their petals and the trees will once again show off their green foliage.

Even if the weather isn't ideal, there is no denying that spring is here. Who says the weather has to be warm to enjoy crisp, tangy cocktails, luscious sweet fruits and light tasty morsels??

The Sakura represent many things, most of which I will never truly understand. To me they represent a sense of light and hope that the cold burden of winter will soon be just a memory, summer sweatiness is on it's way!

tokyo decadance vol 6


Cosplay (costume play, dress ups) is at it's best right here in Tokyo. So when I spotted a flyer at my yoga studio for a cosplay dance party I knew it was an opportunity not to be missed...

I was right!
Tokyo Decadance Vol 6 was held last night at La Fabrique in Shibuya.
Countless hours costume shopping and day dreaming about what it would be like had not prepared us for this...

The performers stunned and amazed...

and the crowd wowed us with their wild ways

So what did we wear???

Leila wore a get up so smoldering that it got her hoisted up onto stage in no time, where she dazzled the club with her moves...

Akiko was cute as cherry pie with her pin up inspired cos. Many were eager for a taste...

I decided to go a little bit Priscilla Queen of the desert, inspired by Lizzie Gardners designs I made a nude playing card dress. One girl loved it so much she insisted on giving me a kiss straight on the lips to show her appreciation (don't worry mum it was all show for the camera)

A superbly silly night! Good clean fun!

Thanks again to me ladies! Hope Thailand is treating you well...see you in a bit
