Shortcomings

Alice Kim is one of the lead characters in Adrian Tomine's iconic masterpiece.

Just the other day I noticed I have two of my very own Alice Kim look a likes, Michelle Koza and Corrine Morita.

BTW - Alice Kim is the character in the middle under the R.

Para Kisu / Paradise Kiss

I am a sucker for bisexual, and gay love stories, with a twist. Throw in gothic elements, fashion design, a band, and not to mention good art, and an anime to follow up the manga - what is not to like about Paradise Kiss.

Great work from Ai Yazawa, published here in the United States by Tokyo Pop. This is my 3rd time reading through the series.

Corrine turned me onto this story. Thanks honey...

Good relaxing, fun while lounging by the pool at the Westin Kaanapali.

Subject to Change

Solid analysis of "given" and "known" chaos in our daily lives. So far, a great read - quite happy with this quality purchase.

Candy Girl Advocate

Summer is here, and it sure feels like it in NC. Beautiful evening outside tonight. While walking about before Iron Man starts, popped into Boarders and picked up some relaxing reading for the trip / flight home on Tuesday.

The Advocate magazine and Candy Girl by no other than Diablo Cody. She is hot, and a rockstar too!

White Ninja and Pickle

Corrine and I came across Scott's and Kent's work at ComicCon 2 years ago. Together they are brilliantly funny.

I better get to making my ComicCon hotel rezzies for this year since I'm taking off work to head down to SoCal.

2008.02.13 / My Book Stack

My book stack which I am wading through:

IDEO Everyday Engineering
Boys Will Put You On A Pedestal
Drivers of Change
Making It
Me In My Bag
Young Fashion Designers

Do check out ME in my Bag (ISBN 978-986-7009-13-5) which is a collection of 100 London'ers, their bags, and what is inside of them (and in their minds).

Perhaps we will explore what is inside my bag later this week/end.
