What do you think of young Japanese women's fashion style this winter?

What do you think of young Japanese women's fashion style this winter?
-  exciting
FASHION is really representing yourself.
I am glad they are taking a " FASHION RISK " !!! That is what real fashion is. Being a " RISK TAKER ". When I first came here I have never seen so any women in mini skirts. Bare skin in Go Girls !!! Live your Life !!!!!
- i'm afraid i don't believe in japanese style. 99.9% of people are just copying styles from magazines. don't get me wrong, sometimes the results look fabulous (can't fault their dedication) but at other times i'm absolutely dumbfounded
fashion is, after all, so ugly it has to be changed every 3 months
haven't spotted any specific trends that are going around at the moment though

Ditto with natosucks
I've been to a few fashion events catered to young women this winter and I really don't understand the appeal of wearing the exact outfit as your favorite model. I love people who follow the trends but make the outfit their own. Also as a Canuck, the denim cut offs in winter make my stomach turn. Miniskirt over tights is much classier.

Types of Pet Fish

Types of Pet Fish

Tropical Fish

The tropical fish are kept in temperatures of about 25°C. They tend to be more expensive to buy than cold water fish and are therefore usually kept in better aquariums (which have such equipment as aerators) and often by enthusiasts prepared to give that extra attention that ensures survival If a problem begins in the aquarium, the Tetras will be first to show signs.
Tropical fish tend generally to be less susceptible to build up of ammonia fish. and nitrites—but this could be that they tend to live in better aquariums.

Marine Fish

Marine fish are kept at
varying temperatures depending on their origin. Some marine fish are from tropical areas of the world, while others are from temperate zones and will be kept at lower temperatures. It is safest to ask the dealer for the most suitable temperature for specific fish. The seawater that the fish are kept in can be natural or synthetic. For those who live close to the ocean and want to use it, collect where the water is clear. Always use a non-toxic, non-corrosive vessel and store the water for six weeks in the dark before using. Always have a reserve of water in case of emergency. Artificial seawater mixes are available commercially – follow the instructions carefully.
Marine fish are very sensitive to nitrite and copper levels. The density of marine fish should be of the order of 1 centimeter of fish length to 10 liters of tank volume. This is much lower than for freshwater fish. The hobbyist should consider gaining aquarium experience with freshwater fish before acquiring a marine aquarium, as marine fish are very expensive and mistakes will be costly.

Strong aftershock hits north Japan

Strong aftershock hits north Japan
More problems in one of the areas hit by last night's huge earthquake in Japan.
It has caused landslides and avalanches.
News agencies report authorities are still having trouble reaching the areas affected by the quake so it is still difficult to get a true estimate of the extent of damage or the death toll.
The toll officially remains in the hundreds but some are expecting it to reach well into the thousands, judging by the damage seen in TV footage just after the quake stuck.
Infrastructure damage is reported in Tokyo with power off to millions of buildings.
There is concern now about a nuclear reactor damaged in the quake. Back up systems failed and people around the plant have been evacuated.

What's next after Blu-ray

What's next after Blu-ray?
- I think that Blu-ray will suceed in becoming mainstream but never get as big as DVD. I also think that it will be the last big mainstream physical media. It is almost certainly the last disk based media. There will be more layers for backups and computer use but thats it.

The next one will be holographic blocks or something. It will not just be for movie watching, it will run programs like virtual girlfriends like on The 6th Day or tennis instructors like in Total Recall. There will be a vitual chef projected into the kitchen helping you make recipies etc. There will be a blackmarket for specialty stuff like sex programs with your favorite actress's head pasted on the holographic matrix. Then come the feedback gloves and other sicko attachments for long distance relationships. Virtual phone calls. In a few decades hell we could have full fledged holodecks.

Since replacing Penelope Cruz as the face of Mango three seasons ago, Scarlett Johansson has made for one sultry model. And now in her latest set of ads, shot by famed photographer Mario Sorrenti in New York City, the actress gets even sexier. Showing off the Spanish retailer’s “retro-marine” collection of simple silhouettes and feminine dresses, Scarlett seductively lounges around a hotel room pouting at the camera. “I love working with MANGO. This is the third campaign I have done with them. The photographer, Mario Sorrenti, makes me feel very comfortable: the sessions are great fun,” Scarlett says of the campaign. For spring, expect blues and greys combined with whites, natural tones and touches of red, spots and stripes. Safari jackets and trench coats balance out lace-trimmed dresses and girly details like ribbon and embroidery. Shop Mango’s spring/summer collection at mangoshop.com.

Scarlett Johansson is Single and in Jamaica

Scarlett Johansson is Single and in Jamaica
So Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are dunzo after two years of marriage. What's a pretty 26-year-old movie star to do then to recover? Take a trip to warmer climes, naturally. ScarJo has gone straight down to Jamaica with her friends, and though it's not yet apparent exactly where, her visit comes just in time to entice people to book trips to Jamaica for the post-Christmas dulls.
 

 
Will Scarlett get her groove back while in Jamaica? Hopefully not; she's still got a good-girl images and it's only like two days after she announced the end of her marriage. Regardless, a tropical trip does signal a few things, like the fact that she's going to be frolicking in a bikini under the sun while Ryan is stuck filming (and potentially moping) in Atlanta.
