MIA’s Bad Girls throws lot of costumed punk attitude
Take me to the desert. An Oriental fantasy.
Festive yankii relief
After two consecutive political images– not sure which is uglier, politicians buttholes or faces– I thought this blog needed some festive yankiis to balance out the male beauty spectrum.
These guys were selling drinks and street food at the Nichome Rainbow Festival two weeks ago. I love how they combine androgyny (hair clip, check!), damaged hair, towel as scarf, and a touch of punk (lip piercing, check!).
Now we’ve all seen the future of Japan, and can rest more easily!
Much moe at anti-nuclear demo in Koenji
Yesterday’s anti-nuclear demo (原発やめるデモ) in Koenji far exceeded my expectations. About 15,000 marched through the streets from Koenji to Omekaido Douri seeking the end of nuclear power. There were also young men on stilts and silver foil outfits, shirtless punk rockers with tattoos and huge hair, a seemingly random boy band in matching yellow track suits and geometric hair styles. All in all, it was very earnest and carnival-like. It made me feel better about my neighbors and Tokyo’s future.
Yoko Ono Performs
Yoko Ono and her Plastic Ono Band, with son Sean, perform Waiting for the D Train on Jimmy Fallon’s show. She’s so glamme and punk-rock. Imagine peace!
