Slummin' it up in Fashion



I find it funny that the only things in this strip of my neighborhood that are ever updated are those signs. Samantha Thavasa's bags are huge here, and the other poster is for the yet unreleased (here) Clint Eastwood movie Changeling. The vending machine you might be able to make out is amongst the cheapest ones in all of Japan. I was told the 60 yen ones were the cheapest, but I actually found a 40 yen one in my random urban exploration. No, I didn't drink anything from it.


I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees -- for the trees have no tongues.

The next two photos are for my mother. The part of Osaka City that I live in lacks greenery (if you haven't yet noticed) but I really loved the colors of this plant. What is it?





Now I will resume reading about Aretha Franklin's hat. Thank you very much for looking at today's entry. It was a very beautiful but very cold day. By "cold" I mean "low 30s," which means I am officially a Wuss. Hooray!
