Paparazzi shots of Namie and Haruto

These are scans of Hong-Kong newspapers showing paparazzi photos of namie and haruto:



The newspapers mentioned that namie and haruto, 10 years old, were seen recently doing shopping. Namie requested off from work on the 18th of May to celebrate haruto's 10th birthday and also tried to stop work at 6pm everyday to spend more time at home with her son. Namie also intended to send haruto to U.S for study.

From the green spring to the blue summer...

Summer is coming soon in Japan therefore I decided come out with a summer banner for June.

I'm using simple black, white and blue for this month theme because all the different crazy colors combination is giving me a headache! >_< Hence I'll try to stick with simple colors in the future...

This time round, I'm experimenting with pictures for the blog background instead of the usual 'one-color' background. Hope everyone will like the new changes. ^_^

Vidal Sassoon in HongKong!

Looks like Vidal Sassoon has decided to do it promotion all way from Japan to HongKong! You can find banners of namie in local HK shops and even a cantonese version of the 70s CM! Jealous... Wonder if they will consider advertising it in other places in Asia e.g Singapore!
