We interrupt this regularly scheduled blog for a little blatant self promotion…
Be sure to check out the September issue of Romantic Times Magazine this month to see our cover story! Yes, we made the cover! Well, technically it’s Lori Foster’s book on the cover, but we made the sidebar cover. Good nuff 4 me.

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while, but hadn’t gotten around to cropping the photos before now.
When Liz and I showed up in costume last summer at RWA, the biggest cause for alarm was the fact we were wearing thigh highs. One person even went so far as to say we’d be [...]

Marianne doesn’t keep photos and videos on her camera. She’s all insta-upload about it, and then she clears off the card. It’s so organized. I just leave them on. That’s why I have a 4 gig memory card. It’s also why I often forget what was ever on there–”Hey, wait a minute. Why does this look like [...]

Marianne issued yours truly a challenge over at her blog to post certain photos.
And I deliver. Oh, how I deliver.* We went to check out a Japanese department store and discovered that they had dedicated two entire floors to Loli fashion in all its forms. They specified no pictures allowed, [...]

So…we’ve got some pigeons. And…a crying child…and a strange anthropomorphic pearshaped thing that also seems to be very concerned about the whole situation. As am I.
Sweat. That’s…just really not that appetizing.
Speaking of appetizing, should we eat at The Pork Bar “Boo” or Octopus Ball?
Noa Cafe. It barely makes any sense…yet it’s [...]

A day and a half before the end, Marianne and I just looked at each other and said, “Whoa. We only have a day and a half left!” It’s that point in any trip where you realize that if you haven’t already done it, bought it, seen it, eaten it, photographed it or [...]

How is it that Marianne manages to keep up with the blogging and entire days vanish for me? Well, I’m back in the zone, so here we go. On Friday the 13th, M and I went to Tokyo Disneysea. Marianne is a Disney expert. I’m more like a Disney novice. [...]

For the first time in what seemed like ages, Marianne and I slept in. But not too long, because this was the day for heading out to the burbs and getting away from any semblance of the tourist scene before our big Lost in Translation tourism geek-out. (Well, okay, any semblance of the [...]

Geisha video. Yay! Don’t you think Marianne did a bang-up job on the editing? I think the video speaks for itself but I do have one important observation: Geisha makeup makes your nose look enormous.
