The September Issue

-
Picked up this "documentary" at the DVD pirates' the other day. Well, it definitely doesn't watch like "The Devil Wears Prada", but it is interesting enough. The star is supposed to be Anna Wintour, the Editor of Vogue, but somehow, I felt that Grace Coddington, her Creative Director subtlely stole her thunder. Throughout the whole thing, Anna merely gives disdainful looks and says, "Cut this out, cut that out". Grace on the other hand is portrayed like the underdog, someone who has passion for her work, but must kow-tow to an impossible boss. Everytime Anna reviews her photoshoot, she would go into the compilation room and look at the rejected photos. Everytime Anna gives some directive on what to leave in and what to put out, we can see Grace's exasperation. After "discussing" with the boss, she would come out to complain and let out steam, flabbergasted by the decision. I'm sure we can all identify with that. The look in her eyes. The set of her mouth. It all shows. We see her frustration, but she is realistic enough to realize that without something to put her work in, it would not be valid and she works woth the constraints. Even more touching is how she picked up the pieces of her life after a horrible life experience and continue to contribute 40 years of her life in the industry. Quite moving. Do give it a chance.

@LittleD:
None! Perhaps the Thai designer Thakoon is your type.

@Jase:

Thakoon's cute but not really my type. I would prefer American designer Marc Jacobs! Hehe. But since I am sticky rice, maybe Bernard Chandran(without goatee), Jonathan Cheng (without goatee) or Rizman of the Rizman Ruzaini label. ;p

Must always go back to the dollars and cents.

@LittleD:
Bernard Chandran! Mature and married! You have a thing against facial goatees is it? Hehe. I like my men smooth. Marc Jacobs has that whole beard thing going on.

Coat West Star II: Sho

This is a follow up post from my Nagi post. Sho is another favorite of GV producerr COAT WEST. I usually see him as a top but on rare occassions, he could be seen penetrated by Nagi and Hikaru. What's hotter than seeing a hunk being on the receiving end once in a while? His body is never very defined, but he is definitely sexy. Kinda like Johan Paulik of Bel Ami fame. SHO Name: sho Name：Sho（翔） Height：180cm Weight：70kg Age：21 (during Sho Only Shining Star) Birth date：Unknown (1985) There is no girlfriend: Now there are ... ... (sho is very shy yo ~) Girlfriend?：Yes Dated for：Half a year Type of girl he fancies：Petite～ Makes people have an urge to protect them, cute when running (in small steps) Wants his girlfriend to call him：Sho-kun（翔君） (I can do that!) First love：Elementary year 4, with a girl from the next class First H：Freshman Type of H he likes：Both parties desire it First “solo” experience：Elementary years Number of times a week：Doesn’t do it very o...

Kensei

Been a long time since I wrote about Japanese GV actors. There's this one guy called Kensei (for COAT ) who looks really cute in my opinion. Has an angular face with cute eyes. Also a sunny smile with a gap tooth, though it's rare. And he has a nice physique ( nice pecs, abs, thighs, not overly-developed ) that is coupled with a tanned complexion ( I don't need my boys to be tanned, but I'm sure many out there like that kinda thing ). Very sporty. Looks great in Speedos and track suits. Really can carry off the athlete look. Perfect with the exception of his package-- not so well-endowed compared to his peers in the industry. I'm not a size queen, so I don't mind. Overall, a handsome fella. On his 'acting skills', he's not exactly expressive ( think Keanu Reeves ), but of course I can overlook that. One of the titles puts his statistics as 188 cm, 78 kg, and 18 years old. Not too sure about the age. Think that's fabricated. I've seen h...

Osamu or Naoya?

There's a GV actor from KO-Video that I have my eyes on with the name OSAMU AMAGASA ( a 20 year old with an athletic body ). If I'm not mistaken, he later signed with Coat as TAIIKUKAI SEIHA NAOYA . Also seen him with Coat. From what I've seen, he's a versatile fella with a hefty package. But I really like to seem him on the receiving end cause he OBVIOUSLY enjoys it when he is filled. Really sexy to see. In Coat's "Get Athlete Conquest - Naoya", I loved seeing him bobbing up and down while taking it like a canine. Such a turn on especially when the other guy services him at the same time. Also saw his performance in KO-Surprise!'s "Just Do It!" where he was paired with the twinky Asuka Aizawa. Loved his moans while he was being explored. He has appeared in other newer videos but they have yet to appear in torrents. I'll be keeping a look out!
