Dressing Up in Japanese Royal Kimono

Posted by tokyodv in Culture, Event, Fashion, Girls

A good friend of mine was attending Kimono lessons at the Hakubi Kimono School in Tokyo. I went to a demonstration at the school; Here we see two teachers dressing a woman as royalty would be dressed. It’s a kimono with twelve layers. I’ve dubbed it ‘Twelve Layers O’ Fun’..

The Digiko Dunlop Girls Do Puffy

Posted by tokyodv in Cars, Culture, Event, Fashion, Funny, Girls, Strange

The Digiko Dunlop Girls perform, what I believe to be a popular Puffy song at the time; Cant remember the title.

There were many girls performing at the Tokyo Motor Show that day, but I was most impressed with this group. They captured the pure, innocent silliness often associated with radial tires. :D.

Dancing Thai Girls: Sri Chai Singha

Posted by tokyodv in Culture, Event, Fashion, Girls, Travel

One of the many dance routines at the Baan Boran in Koh Samui, Thailand. An evening of fancy Thai cuisine with traditional Thai dances.

This is clip from the Sri Chai Singha Dance:

“An archaic dance created and modified from the imagination of the Bayon Apsara Dance on Khmer murals; the Cambodian Ancient Era. The women’s style and steps with the music display the grace and elegance of the heavenly damsels (apsaras).”

Shibuya Paradise: Digiko Girls

Posted by tokyodv in Culture, Event, Fashion, Funny, Girls

On my way to another shoot in Yoyogi Park, I stumbled upon the Digiko Girls ‘performing’ outside Hachiko exit in Shibuya.

The sun glistened off their shiny black boots as they squeeked out their latest tune..

No one seemed to mind they couldn’t sing since they provided colorful energy on an otherwise monotonous day.
