As many people know about this exhibition at Metropolitan Museum of Artnow till Aug.7. The shocking news went through the whole world about sudden tragedy with Alexander McQueen. The museum is ofcourse well presenting the world of his creations and his intentions.
If you never bother with fashion shows, go to this one.
現在、Metropolitan Museum of Artで、昨年自ら命を落としたAlexander McQueenの回顧展が8/7まで開催されている。
I am not too crazy about BMW especially since debut of the 1 series and seen so many 3 series in a city like more than yellow cabs these days. How much are they by the way? How come so many people can afford them?
But this time, BMW did it to do a right thing.
Look at this M3 FROZEN BLACK EDITION. They look smart, look fast (4 liter V8, 414 hp), look expensive ($80,000), look stylish (matte black paint, black M3 GTS wheels) and look special ( only 20 are available).
Wait a minute......so even they sell all, they only make $1.6 million dollars..... I still do not get about BMW these days.
BMWより、出ました新しいクールM3!!
最近のBMWに関しては、全く興味ない私ですが、 このM3 FROZNE BLACK EDITIONは、格好いいと思います。色々なマットブラックの車を眼にしますが、どれも今一だと思いませんか?ロスでは、ベントレーのマットブラックを見ますが、どーもチープ。先日、ホンダアコードのマットも見ましたが、いやー厳しい。でもこのM3は、品格をキープしています。
I have been writinig about too off from fashion topics lately and I am not too sure what exactly my blog readers are interested. But seems most of stopping by my blog people are little towards my biz related good people that feel I should bring up some of my favorite brands time to time. Well, ISAORA. "Based in New York City, ISAORA proves that technical performance and high style need not be mutually exclusive. We live where the forces of nature meet the forces of fashion" And I think they are the best for what they create.
My friends who are behind this insane, too cool brand, Marc and Ricky started ISAORA back in 2009 and I happend to find them in Las Vegas!! I would not have high expectations of finding cool new things too often there, but it did back then. When I saw them, I instantly knew they are going to be well accepted in many countries and having really good exposures in Japan right now. You know why? People in Japan do appreciate about their attitudes of what they produce for us. "ISAORA clothes are manufactured using only the most advanced fabrics, innovative layering technologies and state-of-the art construction. Japanese-made Toray® fabrics, PrimaLoft® One insulation, Schoeller® Nanosphere™ and Phase Change Materials, YKK Excella®, Aquaguard® and RiRi® AQUAzip™ zippers are standard features throughout the collection"
Wow, I can not believe I am posting about NIVEA CREME on my blog!
I have not used this skin care prodcut since I was 6 yeads old? But NIVEA CREME is very intimacy to me if that is a too much of expression, they are not stranger to me.
I am not sure how big it is in USA, but they are big in Japan. How big? as big as Cocoa Cola?? Nahhh.... Probably big as VAPORUB. This may not click many of you people, but there are some brand that penetrate into market really well and we all think they are our own proudly national brand.
I was so sure that NIVEA was a Japanese brand till very recently and very surprised to find out they are German brand and I am not proud myself to say that thought VAPORUB was also Japanese, but they are VICK'S company in US.......
Well that iconic brand, NIVEA CREME is celebrating their 100th anniversary and they are celebrating in Milan with an imaginative video installation!! That is so cool and who would want to go to the party????
There are many brand that has establsihed as global brand name that people do not know where they came from except like Coca Cola or McDonald. Everybody knows they are American, right? may be??
As many of new yorkers may know already that after long debate about what would be the next New York City taxi since 2007, we finally have it!
It is NV200 desgined by Nissan North America. What might surprised many of you is that city has chosen only this car for next 10 years starting from 2013. Wow, what a politics!
Now we have at least 6-7 different models, say Ford Escape, town car, Toyota highlander, Chevy mini van, sometimes we see Volkswagen and I am sure more taxi models are out there. But within few years, we will only get to ride with this one style. I am not too sure it is good or bad, but you will have no options.
It looks like we will have much bigger space than now. I feel terrible for many big Americans trying to fit in a cab. Like Ford escape mini suv type, even I feel very unconfortable being inside.
There are some features I should mention about this new guy;
Anti-bacterial, Non-stick seats
Independent passenger climate contorls
Filtered interior air
passenger charging stations (regular outlet and USB ports)
reading light
Horn light to reduce horn usage
ability to be manufactured with fully electric to name few......
If cab today are economy class, we are about to experience the business class cab in a city!
Here are my most favorite racing team/cars ever exsisted. TAKA-Q RACING TEAM!!
TAKA-Q PORSHE raced atLe Mans 24 hoursand they came in 7th place in 1987. By the way TAKA-Q also joined with French apparel brand, NEWMAN and sponsored same JOEST RACING TEAM and won Le Mans in 1984.
TAKA-Q TOYOTA had 800 horsepower and won the title at Suzuka Circuit, I believe in 1988? Not sure, but they were strong.
I just simply loved their coloring and smart looking body designs. And I am very proud to say that TAKA-Q RACING TEAM was owned by my grand father!!
He was the coolest guy I know, and he was mid 70 years old when he was a owner.
It is my absolute dream to have my own racing team too. Let's see how much would cost me to own 4 racing cars.......
Osama Bin Laden was killed yesterday and will we be facing with fear from terrorists agian? I am not sure, but we can not let it happen and need to have a strong spirit. It has been a decade since we lost WTC and personally I am ready to have new WTC to build strogner NYC once again and welcome more people to our city. This is the most recent images of New World Trade Center and it is under construction for 5 new skyscrapers and schedule to complete by the fourth quater of 2013.
今朝のニュースで、”やっと捕まった。。。”と言うのが本音だった。捕まったというか、殺害だ。ニューヨーカーとしてはホッとしたが、これからまた変な緊張感が走るような気がする。頼むから、罪のない人への無差別テロは、止めて欲しい。 あの美しいWorld Trade Centerが、マンハッタンの町並みから姿を消して、早10年以上が経つ。個人的には、Empire State Building, Chrysler Building以外にも、そろそろ新しいランドマークが、マンハッタンには必要と感じ始めている。 そこで、2013年後半に、完成予定の次世代World Trade Centerの画像を入手したので、紹介します。場所は勿論、元々WTCがあった所。5つの新しい商業ビルを予定し、それ以外には、9/11メモリアルミュージーアム、地下鉄、モール、アートセンターなどが造られる予定。 ここ数年、マンハッタンの西側(ハドソン川沿い)の開発が、もの凄いピッチで進んでいるが、この新しいワールドトレードセンターが完成したら、西側は、もっと活性化することだろう。 ウエストサイドひいきの私としては、とても喜ばしいことだ。
