natsha nakamura's diary

Interesting new magazine called Nikkei Woman, which talks about how women should buy insurance, how to get a job in banking, and how to live stylishly in a tiny apartment. Nothing at all on how to entice a man. It is hard to imagine a magazine like this ten years ago. Tokyo women are taking control of their lives.

I am tired of seeing (working) women in big bulging blue pantaloons to their ankles, like a uniform. They look like Russian infantrymen with an identity problem.

I'm thinking maybe late one night this Spring, when the weather invites, I'll work up a colorful stretch of graffiti for the wall across the street. Maybe invite one or two sympathetic souls to participate. Naomi? Fabrizio? That guy from Cambodia?
