Hats are not just a fashion accessory;
they are statements of personality, culture, and style.
Whether you’re shielding yourself from the sun, braving the cold, or simply adding a touch of flair to your outfit,
there’s a hat out there for every occasion.
I just asked ChatGPT!!
Yes hats are not just a fashion accessory, functional, attitude and believes, supports, style and love!!
Let’s put the hat on!!
Hi
Adieu to 2023….
I didn’t have good 2023….
This 2024
I feel great.
I became 55 beginning of this year. Japanese single number pronounce GOGO.
I stopped eating sugar stuff other year, I will repeat this year!
When you are stop eating biscuit with tea, cake, I instantly noticed my face skin condition became soft and smooth next morning.
I wasn’t lying. when I washed my face, I just felt with my hands just right after started.
I may take a spoonful of honey with Greek yoghurt.
Snacking of some nuts and seeds…
Feels great naturally getting lighter.
“Over eating sugar can manifest negatively on the skin.
From premature ageing, loss of collagen and weakened elastin, fine lines,
and acne (as a result of overproduction of sebum) and inflammation on the skin,”
says Justine Masters,
UK-based certified skin therapist and holistic facialist

I was born and brought up in Japan.
Where I was in the school always we sang ” Auld Lang Syne” at the graduation day.
Our education is Primary for 6years. So we have 6 year of Graduation days.
So we practice 6 years.
Junior high is another 3 years, and high school 3 years…
Then get higher like Uni.
Anyway, we sing Auld Lang Syne is almost as our semi national song.
That is all Japanese people’s reflex if you hear the tune, we can sing in Japanese….
First started from Japanese Navy School sang at the graduation.
But these days, we often hear the tune, when the shop is about to close, it is pressurising customers to hurry up and go!! 🙂
That tune isn’t as ” Auld Lang Syne”, it is from the film ” Waterloo Bridge ” farewell waltz danced by Vivian Lee and Robert Taylor….
Anyway, we love the song and most of us even didn’t realize it was from Scotland and Robert Burn’s famous poem.
How can he see his poem is widely loved in the world, I wonder ?
At the Burns Supper 2018 with Air cadet!
I am so happy to be this time.
Everyday hearing and witnessing exciting news about human get close to Space!!
Yusaku Maezawa is a Japanese billionair.
He will be the first private passenger on lunar Starship mission. 🙂
Yusaku was the founder of ZoZoTown which is big online fashion shopping site in Japan and Asia since 2004.
He started selling CDs and Records catalogue shopping online base.
But he sold his stake to yahoo and he stepped down CEO.
Elon, Yusaku are both ‘ Try and Go’ attitude business men.
Unfortunately Yusaku called off for this mission….just one woman would be picked, with the process supposed to be turned into a matchmaking documentary called “Full Moon Lovers”. 🙂
It is like a Japanese classic story called ‘ Taketori-monogatari – The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter-‘.
We all dream about Space when you look up the sky!!
Those attitude reach to Space!!
We just need to try and go everything you can!
I really enjoyed expression method….
I watched series “POSE” and really enjoyed 1,2 both series.
There were mother, father in the community, who look after community people to guide to survive their real visions life…
So much love in the human in the drama, and I believe that wasn’t made up story, that must be what the human have in natural ability.
Now I have to watch, Northern England drama….!

Every challenge is the risk, but Space X challenge is always bring the dream comes true!!

https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2019/oct/09/va-hosts-europes-first-major-exhibition-on-kimono?CMP=share_btn_fb&fbclid=IwAR1dz1-b51pK7GvH8f6e_Qu0tOIZhpwe6JWUSPrYFCzO14DnLz2YodLC2sg
Exhibits will include a dress designed by Alexander McQueen for Björk 🙂
Bjork album image Kimono by Alexander McQueen was sensecional that image was so strong and got inspired so much, decided to make my own version one day.
I got married in 1997.
I was working at Philip Treacy at that time.
We had a rented flat in Angel before we had wedding.
I was puttig the curtain not showing to Kevin while I was working on my wedding outfit.
I didn’t know but it is very bad luck in the UK making own wedding dress or ( that explains a lot ; ) ) show your wedding outfit to your husband to be before the wedding day.
White 100% Silk Embroidered Taffeta and Gold embroidered silk satin ( Chinese ).
I had a beautiful Obi in Shu red (Vermillion Red ) that colour is perfect for Japanese image.
So when we decided to book the register office, I already made my dress idea that will be fusion Kimono deluxe ( my ultimate bespoke dress )!!
Picture is great! They never get old 🙂 It will be almost 22nd Anniversary soon 🙂
Excuse me from the bathroom of Russel Hotel 🙂 but this is the only shot I could get from top to toe my proud DIY job with Fantastic gift from Master Philip Treacy’s headpiece…..My 1950’s sandal, Satin bag and lace gloves 50’s at Angel’s Antique market. Japanese pearl necklace and handfan with Luck charm ( Omamori ). my nail was light blue- Something Blue 🙂
Kevin with wee Jamie in Kilt, he was 7 years very cute boy but he will be dad of son very soon! I am wearing beautiful Kimono lent from Maestro Philip Treacy…that is £30.000 worth Wedding Kimono from Japan. Thank you billion times for fantastic gift, my dad said I could be a bamboo doll with out them 🙂
Before returning this to Philip, I wanted to do this “Mikaeri Bijin?!” pose 🙂
