Hi guys. I'm finally feeling like my old self again. I thank you so much for all of your supportive comments. If you don't know, I'm the type of person who never backs down, unless for a very good reason. Sheaccessorizeswell put it best when she said that sometimes we have to do things we don't like to keep a job and that is so true. Fortunately, everything worked out in the end and I still wear red and yellow and curly hair! A lot of you talked about discrimination laws and you would be right if we were in America. All of those laws don't apply nor exist in Japan. Since it's a homogeneous country and a bit conformist in some ways. There are a few laws, but there are still some places where foreigners are banned. There are even swimming pools that you can't enter if you have a tattoo. Sometimes I do feel like I'm in a bit of a time warp. Nonetheless I still love being here and every country has it's good and bad points. I will not let anyone upset me. The situation has been resolved and I'm not going to dwell on this, but I just wanted to say thanks to all of you.
Meanwhile, I have not been idle. I've been shopping for kimono for the shop(and a little for myself). I've also made a bunch of garments as well, but they're for fall. I hate summer clothes! Which explains my lack of posts and the heat and humidity are driving me nuts. Right now I'm taking a break from the 20 kimono that I'm styling and sorting. This is always so difficult because I want to keep most of them and a few I do. I have a very special Kimono Kinyobi coming up this week. Many people ask about the kimono on the front page. No, I'm not selling it, but I have another one that is equally beautifully and detailed with the most beautiful scenery that I've seen thus far on a kimono. Wonderful shades of gold, green, red, blue, and orange. You'll just have to wait until Friday to see it. If you like my dress I've found another just for you here. I think it looks like a race car track or something from Alice in Wonderland. What do you think?

Can hardly wait for the peacocks! This dress is beautiful, beautiful. I love how the skirt bells out!
I had been a bit worried about you, but had forgotten about the confrontation with your employer. I would have assumed somehow that Japan would have been more enlightened about difference...though I don't why I think so. Why are there places that foreigners can't go?
Sp pleased things worked out for you at work!!!
You look totally HOT in these pix!Those LEGS!

Iman you look radiant and I adore the combination of black and white harlequin like skirt with the red top and all those fab necklaces.
good to read from you! and good to hear that the problem is solved somehow.
anyway, you look as amazing as always!!!
can't wait for the peacocks, too. :)
Thank god you're back! Just got obsessed with your blog! Keep it up and LOooooVE the skirt!
Go, Speed Racer, goooooooo!
I loved Speed Racer as a kid! And that skirt is a perfect tribute to a flag!
I empathize with your employment plight. While I'm not in Japan, my wardrobe is hugely determined by my occupation and location (rural NY, which feels like a foreign country compared to where I came from sometimes).
Can't wait to see the peacocks.
