Got Something You Want To Say?

I was really interested in the part where that designer dude (keita, was it?) was talking about someone from the same culture would recognize and understand right away the style of a designer from the same culture. I see this all the time with South Asian influences in European fashion. I'm quick to see the patterns and hand-woven designs that I've been raised on in western fashion.

And also, that Japanese girls are looking towards western fashion and trying to include it in their own styles... while we're all here in awe of THEM.

A real eye opener towards the segregation of fashion in Japan.

Thanks, Tu-san! :glomp: It was a good watch. :applaud:

no problem.

yeah it's pretty entertaining.....the part where the japanese girls flipped out over the blonde chicks made me laugh a bit.

LOL! Yesh, the one girl was in tears. "Blonde hair, KAWAII!!!!"

The Black-face girls freaked me out intially, but when the designer guy explained them a lil' more I couldn't help but give them props. Although I do find their preception of what "black" people look like a lil' amusing.

the black faced girls otherwise known as ganguro which means black face aren't supposed to be black in an ethnic sense they are hyper-stylized representations of the California Beach Blonde...hence the dark tan and blond hair

Hmmmm... ah okies. I was just referring to what the designer, Keita, was saying:

For example, these black-faced girls want to look like black people or foreigners ...

Even if you pass them, they're usually so engrossed in their own little world, completely unaware of anything else, they wouldn't notice anyway. (Kind of like fangirls on this site :shocked: ) [/list:u]

Excellent analogy.

OTTAWA - The pilot of a Canadian airliner who went to the washroom during a flight found himself locked out of the cockpit, forcing the crew to remove the door from its hinges to let him back in, the airline said Wednesday.

The incident occurred aboard a flight from Ottawa to Winnipeg Saturday. The regional jet, capable of carrying 50 people, was operated by Air Canada's Jazz subsidiary.

Jazz spokeswoman Manon Stewart said that with 30 minutes of the flight to go, the pilot went to the washroom, leaving the first officer in charge. But when he tried to get back into the cockpit, the door would not open.

"The door malfunctioned.... This is a very rare occurrence," Stewart said, adding that the crew's decision to remove the door had been in line with company policy.

A report in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper said that for about 10 minutes "passengers described seeing the pilot bang on the door and communicating with the cockpit though an internal telephone but being unable to open the door".

Stewart said the paper's report was "a bit dramatic" and stressed that at no time had the plane or passengers been in danger. She did not say how many people had been on board.

Air Canada is a unit of ACE Aviation Holdings Inc.
