YES I DID. SUE ME.

They're so gay and funky, I'm in love with it!!!
College classes are back on wed and I'm SO gonna wear them...!

I love slip-on types!!

Just my guess but is really Tsuyoshi wearing douche Bam Margera's sunglasses over here?
I don't have a bigger version of the pic to check out.
It looks like it, though!

Yesterday, sweet Tommy Sparks replied me on twitter, telling he hope he comes to Brazil soon! He's so cute. I really like his music.

I'm already on my fourth vacation week already, and about it now, I didn't do anything special. I wish I had a job. Then I could have some use of my free time and earn money meanwhile.
Actually... On monday, I went in search of a job with a friend. lol
I will probably get this weird low Call Center job, though. They don't want people who can work only half a day (I have to study in the morning!), so shitty D:

MTV is having right now a MJ marathon with his Top 40 music videos and...SHIT I AM SO HUNGRY
Now is time for "You Rock My World". This is one of my favorite songs of him!!!


Ah. I didn't sleep last night at all. My "biological clock" Is so fucked up. Yesterday, I woke up at 5PM. Now I'm fighting to stay awake and sleep AT NIGHT, properly. lol


Then, at dawn I watched American Psycho. It's kinda freak, but really good. Christian Bale's acting is admirable, I think.
Some people just dislike the movie. I liked it. lol Hmm. Well, nevermind!

Movies! I became a movie whore again. Yes!
Music! Mika, R.E.M., Franz Ferdinand, Oasis, AC/DC, all came back like a punch in the face.
What about Sitcoms? I remembered how I LOVED X Files more than everything in my life when I was a kid. lol

Yes, this is me.
Someone who actually still loves KinKi Kids and SMAP (and probably will do it forever, cos it's inevitable; I can't get over them!!), but now is back to herself, maybe?

LOL, This wasn't suposed to be a serious entry.

Ok, so a little of what I've been doing:

- Watching TONS of movies. I loved JJ Abrams' Star Trek version. Too good! Also, Fight Club, Donnie Darko, Velvet Goldmine are indeed great pictures. And..... Hmm. I became a big fan of Judd Apatow's comedies. Erm..Yeah. Mc Lovin!

- Reading books. The last one I bought: "Producing for TV and Video" (by Cathrine Kellison). Next one is "Introduction to Documentary" (by Bill Nichols).

- Buying sneakers and clothes. Don't blame me..!

- Tweeting. I ALREADY TOLD'YA TO NOT BLAME ME!

- Watching too much TV. Family Guy, The Office, Star Trek, LOST (still), Heroes, A Fazenda ftw!! :)

- Collecting vinyl!! We bought a new record player and I'm getting as many as I can. Now I can also finally play my SMAP lp that I got in Japan!

- Spending more time with family and friends - I missed this.

- Editing some videos and future projects.

- Running. Literally.

- Learning Shodou.

- Loving ALL GQ Motherfuckers.

- Laughing @ ONTD entries full of win!

- Catchin' up with 51244 fandom.

- Oh yeah, and last but not least, I'm on vacation. Until Aug 5th! Ahhh leisure!!



Well, this is it. lol I missed writing here...I'll be doing it with more constancy.. I swear! lol


But then, I'm really sorry dear F-List if it's probably not related to J-stuffs!
Remember: Change is good.

I will still talk shit about Tsuyo and Kochan, though. lol

(And about Tsutyle Column, I gave up on it since Tsuyoshi stopped wearing his gorgeous funky clothes! There's no fun on it anymore :( Makes me sad.)

R.I.P. MJ.

I believe in your magic. :)....

and Thank You. God bless you.

I have record of him wearing the blue-red version maybe once on Shindoi, but the red version was totally in for him, back in 2007. XD Curiously.. guess what? It seems they don't sell the red version.
For ALL websites I checked, there's no red.

And finally... The lovely endli touch.

He was able to print "CHERI" in the back, white, to match with the stripes, and then stamped some silver triangles on it, with sequins sewed later.
Still, I don't know if he's that good with fashion designs to do all by himself...XD or is he? I believe he asked someone to do it for him..


But then we can't forget a scene from his latest dvd: in the backstages, he was personalizing his own cap ^^ !
The result was pretty cool, uh?

* polo t-shirt with stripes (by Franklin & Marshall)
price: 12000yen (average)
link: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/zodiac/10011118/

Couldn't find the same color, unfortunelly, cos Tsuyo's from an old collection already T_T This is the t-shirt model he wore in a oooold photoshoot for that dog magazine, remember?

Franklin&Marshall originated from the wish to preserve symbols of the past,reviving them with the same discernment but with different eyes.Vintage is a luxury whose worth originates from the fact that it resists being swept away by the fashion tidal wave.It's for this reason that every garment acquires individual value,it's adopted by young people and combined with personal life experiences.It remains at least for a generation.F&M, through research,enthusiasm and great attention to raw materials have created a totally Italian product,a strong contrast between the melancholy past and the modern present day.

This is so cool, man. XD
Tsuyoshi used a SIMILAR one on last week's Shindoi, but not the same.
I wasn't able to find out which brand was his. It's pretty similar to Vans' authentics, but this one has a stripe also of the color yellow, instead black (as Tsuyoshi's).

-----------------------------------

By the way, I would like to ask you something:
What do you think about the new 'phase' of Tsuyoshi and his clothing now?
It seems it's just black and white, simple but complete.
My friends say it is like "oh he's getting old, he couldn't be colorful gay forever", etc. But sometimes it feels like it missing... Idk. Maybe his real self wasn't colorful at all, uh...?
In other hand, this fashion 'change' is turning into something nicer, his clothes on DK and Shindoi are becoming more...easy-to-wear.. Good for the fanboys! XD


Well, that's all!! ^_^

And here it is... Ladies and gentlemen, The one, the only... The blue fur hat.

Vans Shoes was founded by Paul Van Doren back in 1966 with the simple idea of selling his Vans Shoes directly to the public instead of going through an agent or middle man. The first Vans Shoes stores opened in Anaheim, South California on March 15th, 1966. At this time there were only 3 styles of Vans Shoes to choose from. [...] In 1976 the newly emerging cult of skateboarders chose Vans Shoes to wear while doing their pastime and these skaters asked to have different colours combined on the one shoe. Vans shoes delivered with the first Vans Era in the authentic red and blue designed by cult skate boarders Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta. The skateboarding craze spread like wild fire and with it so did the popularity of Vans Shoes. Today Vans has over 60 styles of shoes in its range, from the classic Vans Era and Vans Slip on to high performance skateboard shoes As well as an ever growing range of Vans T-Shirts and clothing.

(Found those last year here in Brazil, at Vans store in Sao Paulo. Quite a surprise, just TODAY that I realized Tsuyoshi was wearing the same at 2007's fineboys essay. lol My friend bought it... now I want. At that time, instead, I bought this one XD)



Well, this is all for now!!
I hope you enjoy reading it!!
See you next week! ^^

My birthday present this year is a little bit different from others, probably...

The tribute doesn't contain his face... Instead, just his music. ^^'


This is a video made for Domoto Tsuyoshi's 30th birthday celebration.
All scenes are from personal recordings, in Japan and Brazil.
This is my way to show my beautiful world, my beautiful sky, since Tsuyoshi showed us his perspective already.

Domoto Tsuyoshi, thank you for your music and powerful words!
Thank you for show us how beautiful Nara is.
And also, thank you for reminding us how beautiful is the sky above us.

Happy birthday.

Damn I hate old clothes cos they're always out of the official sites, then there's only auctions left to get them -_- Anyway, this jacket is a classic, isn't? So cute! But so expensive...





* classic vintage 3 leaf logo t-shirt (by adidas)
link: -
price: 14000yen (average)

You might think "Oh. that usual t-shirt. that's so... common."
But behind every single model, there is always a story to tell.

A curious fact is that Run DMC started to use the 3 leafs logo adidas back in 1980's, since then, it became a classic!
It was because of Run DMC that adidas is today famous as it is. The rapper also turned popular their sneakers!
This is a classic 80's vintage golden-metalic model that was reissued back in 2007.


* Tref Tee ObyO (by adidas originals by originals)

another important point is that "adidas Originals" is the reissued models of adidas when they were using the "trefoil" as their logo from 1972-1996.

If I had to pick the greatest store in this world... it would be Styles (linked up there).
This is the most amazing store ever. They love adidas so much, and you find unique things over there.
By the way, if i'm not wrong, Tsuyoshi has been there also, in one of his Shindoi's. If you have time, check their homepage, it's pretty nice!!

Used on Gekkan Kaze to Rock photoshoot back in 2007.
It's interesting to see how Tsuyoshi also tries to express himself not only through music, but also through his clothes, that's a fact. XD

i'm finally flying to Japan.

wish me luck ^^

pray for the plane not crash lol

it would TOTALLY be this. XD





Say hello to my new snickers!! XD







but........ it only arrives in one week LOL

limited edition, God bless u, ebay!! :DDD

dude i'm so in love with it. Nike Bambi.

for me it means NARA.

XDDD
*dies* it's so cute T____T

Today is not just a big day to America, but to the whole world.
Believe me.
I'm glad change has come. :D
Congratulations, Obama!!

É.... tem vez que não dá mesmo.

Tem vez que tudo conspira pra dar errado, não é possível.

Chuva, derrapagem, Hamilton, diferença de pontos, pitstop...

Mesmo assim, eu tenho certeza ABSOLUTA de que o Massa fez tudo que estava ao seu alcance. Todo mundo viu isso.

E quer saber? Estou orgulhosa de ser brasileira num momento desses.

E daí que ele ficou em 2º no GP mundial?



Ele terminou a final em primeiro lugar com EXCELÊNCIA na frente de todos os fãs brasileiros, e na minha opinião, isso valeu mais que qualquer troféu.

It was a minimum difference between him and Hamilton... who cares now?
You did your job, Massa. And don't cry. We love you ^^
Soon you'll get there!

In Brazil, we don't actually celebrate the Halloween. ;_;


But...

Since I moved to this street one year ago, I realized it's up to people about what we can do or not.
For the first time, people came to my door and yelled "TRICK OR TREAT!!!!!!" to me! XD Last october.
I was so amused with that fact that I gave all the chocolates of our house. XD

So... This year... it happened again.
A lot of kids of the neighbor came and rang rang rang the bell (A LOT XD) til I answer them, and give more chocolates!
Witches, ghosts... such cute kids! I wish I could have took a picture of it ;_;

So yeah, you can do what you want. If you like Halloween, even if it's not normal to celebrate it on your country, why don't turn high-spirited about it and join it? ^^ Next year I will probably join this kids!! Hahaha free chocolates~ XD

anyway,
(ps. lame picture cos I was just bored and: boredom + photoshop = happy birthday scans lame editions 8D)

hmmm...

does anybody knows about lanhouses in japan?
me and my friend just can't find a good hotel available near Kyocera dome, and we're opting to stay in at some 24h lanhouse or coffee shop...

are they reliable?
once a japanese friend told me that, and it's becoming a big option XD but i don't know much about them
ppl told me we can even sleep in there o_O" dunno.
(cos at least here in brazil lanhouses are just ordinary internet stores lol)
