Japan Tsunami and Earthquake Relief

I think most of you have already heard about the 8.9 earthquake and disastrous tsunami in Japan already.  It was one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded, and many people have been affected by it.    To donate and give aid, visit these organizations:

China Fashion Week S/S 2010

This is freakishly late, but a commenter on a different blog reminded me about it.  And hey, it's going to be spring soon right?  (As soon as the rain stops)

 

So pretty.  It reminds me of peasant dresses/video game warriors/computer language/rick rack.

 

Swiss cheese shoes!  I guess theoretically, someone could take a picture through these.  Shiny, disco ball tights too.

 A bird in your hair...or on your shoulder.  The hair is kind of reminiscent of Chanel.  I like the peasant, it reflects the culture of the country.

Overall, from the pictures I've seen, the looks were all over the place, some Gothic, some modern Japanese influences, some very eclectic and modern avant-garde-think geometric accessories and paper clocks, some traditional Chinese dance-inspired.  It was interesting, and different from other countries' Fashion Weeks, including a cosmetic show and looks for that.

Veteran's Day

In a time when the world is never all still, and holidays' are for stores to make money off of, it's good to remember the reason why we have these holidays. November 11 marked the official end of World War I, in 1918, at 11 in the morning. At that time, it was called" the war to end all wars" and the"Great war". Unfortunately, it was not, but it marked a great loss of lives for soldiers and civilians. Take only a second, if you will, to remember their lives, and what they have done. The past isn't just the past, but can be part of the present, and can shape the future, too.

Ackk..

I've been gone for so long! Amazing things, though, have happened since I was gone. The inauguration, for one. It was simply amazing, and we even got to watch it in school! Plus, we have a project about Japanese culture coming up soon. I chose sushi! So now, I have to make sushi at school! Unfortunately, I have no idea how to make sushi of any kind. Better than writing an essay, though, right?
