I'll probably post a more photos later, but here's a cute shot of my sensei Mme. Fumi Akutagawa and I at the LA Kimono Club Sakura meetup. (Isn't she cute? I love her.)
I'm wearing my pink royal cart furisode with gold obi and my blue hydrangea kanzashi. (which are out of season, but I liked the blue with this outfit) I was pretty proud of myself, I'm getting much faster at putting on kimono and doing fukura suzume on my own.

The photos are from mambastic, who has been taking some lovely photos of LA kimono events over the last few months.


Also, my sensei has been giving my book, Japan Ai, to libraries and schools that she teaches at. Here is a newspaper clipping of my sensei. (click for larger full article)

waaa that's so cool about your sensei giving your book to libraries and schools!

Love the flowers in your hair! That's neat your sensei is promoting your book.

EDIT: OH! Today I got my Comics Buyer's Guide and there is a review of your book in it.

Somewhat related, I would LOVE if you did Library Thing - http://www.librarything.com/blog/2008/03/librarything-authors-opens-up.php

It's so fun! I have my whole library up, I put up a review for your book, and my daughter has her library up there too. They have book groups and tons of stuff.

I saw this and you are the only other person I can think of who would appreciate dessert made of felt!

Aimee, I need a little lead. :-P

Do you have any idea where I can find the DVD of Musicals from Japan?

Am looking for the one for Galaxy Angel as I think is said here o__O

Not necessary to have English Subtitle, just interested in the costumes and props done (ya, am planning to do GA again and one of the Character's Hair Color is bugging me *__* )

Thank you soooo much ^__^

Tying a Kimono

[koi-suru-usagi.livejournal.com]

It must be hard to tie yourself up into a Kimono.
I just can't imagine trying and succeeding in looking presentable.
Does someone help you?

it takes practice. I do it myself, yes.
