I these 'old school' pictures of Tsu-chan and even though I like her new look (it suits her lifestyle perfectly), I do miss her old style a little too. What do you guys think

Tsubasa Masuwaka Blog Book - Part 1

Someone asked for 'scans' of the Tsubasa blog book that I bought during the Japan Expo, and because I don't have access to a scanner right now I decided to take photos instead ごめんね。This obviously means they're not the best quality but I've seen HQ scans before so they floating around somewhere

I also want to mention that I won't be posting scans of the actual text parts as those are just blog entries from her old blog, which you can find online (I think it's still up) - the entries in the book range from Oct 2006~June 2007

I am going to split the photos into 2 posts; the fashion & beauty segments and photoshoots. First up... Fashion & Beauty!!

Part 2 Coming Soon~

Model Update; Gal Auction

In collaboration with goodbuy some of your favourite models from JELLY, Popteen, Popsister, NUTS and many more magazines are selling off some of their personal effects.

Some of the models included are: Sayoko (nuts), Yui Kanno (popteen), Kumickey (popteen) and Maya Mori (jelly). However the list doesn't stop there as 43 models are offering their own items for the auction. You can check out the full list here.

So what kind of items are on offer?!

- Kumickey is auctioning a Liz Lisa hat and an Amoureuse vest. Current bid: 1,670円



- Mai Miyagi (JELLY) is auctioning off 3 items right now from Backs, Me Jane and Liz Lisa.



Most of the auctions come with a signed Polaroid of the model wearing/showing the items.


These are the same as ebay auctions so they all have a time limit (not money) - most of them are 31st Dec. A few of the items that have sold went rather cheaply, at around 3,000円. Some of the auctions have already ended but keep an eye out because you may just be able to grab something from your favourite model!!

You can view all of the auctions here.

And for all you secret Gravure fans...there is also a Gravure Idol auction.
With simple vest tops going for around 12,000円 I think we know who and why people are bidding on those o.O

Model Update; Tsubasa @ Dennys

Some of you may be wondering what Tsubasa has been up to lately, especially after she closed her blog. It's definitely hard to keep up with her, and since her tweets tend to take up my feed I stopped following her.

So you can imagine my surprise when I went to Dennys (24/7 family restaurant) and found her plastered all over their special edition Christmas menu!


Tsubasa has collaborated with Dennys restaurants nationwide for a limited period (2nd Dec ~ 26 Dec) and created a special menu. It includes;

'Mothers salad' - 1,080円 (around £8/$13)
Salad with an apple and vegetable dressing.
Tsubasa created this 'mothers salad' with a homey feeling in mind.
She choose it from memories and love, as her mother used to often make something similar.

'Roasted rib steak with fried oysters' - 1,280円 (around £10/$15)
Comes with sweetcorn, spinach, potato wedges and onions.
Featuring a new steak sauce, made with fresh vegetables.
- Nothing else was written about this in the press release so I imagine it was just Denny's trying to sell their steak (which is very popular and featured on most seasonal menus) with a new sauce.


I haven't tried either of the meals as neither really appeal to me, but they seem reasonably priced. So if you happen to be in Japan and want a taste of Tsubasa then maybe this is the set for you!

...there are actually more pictures of Tsubasa on various menus but I took them on my boyfriend's iPhone and he is currently at uni whilst I lay in bed with the flu, again D:

Edit: Added the pictures I took of the menu/s.

Model update; Mori Maya pregnant & married...

I haven't done a model update for a while, but as this concerns one of my favourites I'll let it slide ;D

Yesterday I was looking at the latest magazines in my local bookstore when the new issue of JELLY caught my eye. Not only because it is much bigger than usual, but because of the cover. Mori Maya & Yamamoto Yuuki (who recently blogged about her pregnancy and up-coming marriage) grace the cover, which made me a little nervous as it had a 'wedding-y' vibe to it...that and the fact that is says 'We will get married' on the cover haha XD

So I leafed through and it turns out that Mori Maya got married recently...and is pregnant!! She is marrying a non-celebrity - I always find it funny that they mention this - and looks very happy. In case you didn't know Yuuki is marrying actor Miura Riki

Maya & Yuuki at a recent runway show.

Maya is my favourite JELLY model and has been for a while. I always enjoy seeing her coords on her blog, and her advertisements in stores etc.

I'm very happy for her, I'm just a little sad as this means she will probably disappear for a while - and very soon at that, she is due in December - and who's to say whether she'll come back or not. She doesn't exactly have the same following as Tsubasa did when she fell pregnant and left Popteen, so a big comeback like Tsu-chans seems unlikely.

But Maya is arguably of marrying age (in Japanese terms) and I wish her, her husband and her little baby the best and I hope to see her gracing covers/products soon.

The latest issue of JELLY features photos from the ceremony and talks about her dresses (some of which I think she designed herself) and what the other JELLY girls were wearing.

Next months issue will feature Yuuki's ceremony.
