On Saturday Jo, Jenn and I met up in Shibuya to do a photoshoot for the knitty 2007 calendar contest. We were lucky enough to get Martine to do the photoshoot. We all actually dreaded the shoot because it was 30 degrees that day and we had to don our snuggly warm 100% wool (Rowan Cork) Forecasts. There was a lot of sweating, but we had a great time. After two locations changes though we quickly retreated to the air conditioning of the American Apparel store.
It is a shame my midsection is exposed in this one (you may have seen this intersection in Lost in Translation)
This is our best impression of Shibuya girls.....pretty funny!
here we tried to imitate the girly fun/chat seen in tampon/pad commercials
and here's one of us throwing balls of yarn in the air. I like this one coz Jo looks so graceful flying/jumping in the air!!
oh yeah and our tv died last night. Three years is not bad for a secondhand tv bought for 1000 yen ($10).
oh my god! we are totally such top models! I like the first and the last the best. Doesn't Jenn remind you of Mary Poppins in the first- just like she's floating down under an umbrella!

Good luck!

So adorable! It looks like one of those great movie trailers from the 1950-60s -- everyone is having a great time and there's a kicky song playing.

As I mentioned on Martine's site, that first one is definitely fantabulous. If you really don't like your midsection showing, just Photoshop it so that your shirt looks longer. But really, I didn't take note at all and only thought, "Wow. Kat can jump really high."

Oh my gosh! They are all so fun!

Yikes, I totally do look like Mary Poppins in that first one! I've already forgotten what a humid +30 feels like - it's about 23 where we are here in Canada and bone dry...heaven if you ask me. Miss you guys though!

Here's something awesome for you to check out that isn't fashion but it's awesome anyhow. It's a cool CD that people are just finding out about called LOVE STORIES. Great to listen to while knitting or soaking in a bubblebath with candles glowing. There's a website, www.dkibomeka.com.
