Wasn't there a big scrum about (last 20 years, maybe) Nisei Week Queens looking more Caucasian than Japanese?

You'd think the voters (whom I'd think are Japanese) would've been a little more Nihon-centric? :headscratch:

Well, it's just a photo. Real-life, in-person is different.

When I meet the Nisei Week 2007 court later I'll let you know what I think, but the 2006 court was impressive.

In terms of heritage, I believe the most recent applications stated that one has to be of at least 50% Japanese heritage and born in the USA.



Cheers, :drink:

Yup, I thinks that's correct.

This weekend (11/23-11/25) the Kinokuniya's in Little Tokyo and Costa Mesa are having their annual Thanksgiving weekend sale, everything 10% off. Haven't been to Kinokuniya in awhile, so I dunno if any of the calendars are in yet.

2 items of interest: The Beard Papa's has opened over where the Mitsuwa is in Little Tokyo (they're hiring if you're desperate for a minimum wage job) and The Japan Expo is coming up on 12/1-12/2 at the L.A. Convention Center. Link here:http://www.japanexpo.org/

I've been watching the ads for the Japan Expo. Do you know if they allow camcorders and/or cameras?

The cream puffs are kinda pricey but freshly made.
