heirloom, angelic pretty and sakuran

[aimeekitty]

if that isn't adorable, I don't known what is. Sorry for the bad lighting, its lit from my computer screen. These are two embroideries for two dresses for two special little girls.... and the fancy lace constructed band and some tucks for one of them. :)

Today I met the designers from Angelic Pretty at Pacific Media Expo. Aren't they cute!?

My book panel went really nicely too... thanks if any of you attended!! I'm still kinda "WAAH? I have a book? what is this mystery?". Go! Comi gave me one of the uncut covers from my book. I'm going to have to find some fun left-over-memory-item from my trips to Japan and have it framed with the cover. :)


Also, I saw Sakuran (see also Sakuran wiki entry) at the Arclight. I'd heard some bad reviews about it... but I had to see it on principle since I'm a big Moyoco Anno and Anna Tsuchiya fan and the images from it looked gorgeous. I'm SO GLAD I WENT. It was a little more explicit than I would have liked (so perhaps beware?). I was expecting beautiful shots with bad acting, but I actually really liked it! and the shots WERE beautiful and so wonderful to have seen on the big screen.
looking through the AFI's program.. I wish I had some time to see some of the other films, too.

I LOVE THE POLAROID.

Would you recommend buying Sakuran? I love Anna Tsuchiya and don't think I'll be able to see the movie unless I bought it. Thoughts?

she is VERY SAUCY in this. She does this great sexy come hither look that is very believable. I think you would probably like her in it. some of the other female acting jobs are kinda "ehhh..." but the three (or so) male love interests I thought were really good actually. visually, it's gorgeous. there are at least like... 5 sex scenes and lots of boobies. Just fyi. No plumbing, but yeah.

I dont think the previews really do it justice. I would say it somewhat similar to Moulin Rouge, but with more sex and japanese. in that it's a popped up version of historical prostitutes.

Um, is it even on on dvd here? I've been hoping it would show up on netflix.

I've seen it on ebay... it was subtitles for AFI... I'm thinking that it will probably be available?? I dont know.

ps, I will be buying it, but I wish I could somehow have a "non super sexy version" for when I'm sewing. lol.

"popped up version of historical prostitutes"

SOLD!!

yeah, example, when she finally makes her "debut" as the head oiran, total guitar riff.

when she "learns the tricks" from the old man, total pop music sexy montage. it's very fun to watch. I think you'll probably like it.

Hello! Just LJ hopping from EGL. :D Do you know if this is going to be licensed here? I want to say so, since you saw it in America, and I'm assuming with subtitles. Thanks!

I have no idea! I hope so! :)
