sign up for the Secret Pink Earring Swap!! So far there are 30 pink loving girls taking part - it's going to be great fun. I can't wait to get shopping. To be part of the fun, email me here before the end of Friday (Japan Time)! Further details and updates on Friday.
In other news, Darin has updated his site with a great drawing, and best of all the Ryan page - Ryan was our Rhinoceros beetle that Darin had raised from the time he was a grub until he became a man beetle. To read more, go here. And don't forget to watch Ryan's release video (filmed by me) - try to watch it with sound - it's classic.
Last but not least, enjoy the new Pinku summer banner (courtesy of db). It's officially summer here in Tokyo and it's time to celebrate - am going to the beach this weekend - woohoo! Summer in Japan is super fun (except for the really hot, muggy days when you are stuck in the concrete jungle of downtown tokyo) - fireworks, summer beer (pictured below), yukata, festivals galore - a great vibe all around.
Here's the summer beer! Cheers!
Damn you. Here I was thinking how lucky I was to be in super-cold Melbourne and avoid the Tokyo summer and now I'm thinking summer yukata (which still hasn't arrived amongst the many boxes we sent home) and all those merry beer-laden evenings under the sweaty fireworks-lit sky. I feel homesick now. Damn.

I'm moving to Japan at the end of July and I'm thrilled to see that overwhelming humidity doesn't totally cancel out the good points of summer!
