Dear Hyoyeon,


Camouflage fail. On the bright side, they’re not giving you goofy hair as much in the new Hoot video. Perhaps this is your way of hiding from the stylists when they get vicious?

Dear Aya Matsuura,


When you have a new album release that’s less than a month away, and Amazon doesn’t have the cover picture yet, and the official promotional video for one of the songs is one step up from an animated GIF, it’s time to find a new record company.

Full of win.

Diversity of everything except opinion


SF writer Elizabeth Moon has been removed as Guest of Honor at Wiscon, for the crime of stating an opinion that disagrees with the proper view on the subject.

I suppose the bright side is that this keeps you visible enough for your agency to justify making more DVDs…

Dear Kei Yasuda,


More, please. Preferably without the bizarro zombie/mutant/drag-king who mars two of these shots.

Kei Yasuda

No, seriously, Kemeko, you’ve found people who know how to do your hair, makeup, and clothing, and who recognize that your talent is accompanied by severe hotness. The only thing missing is a long-overdue solo album.
