Turning Japanese I Think I'm Turning Japanese I Really Think So

Grandma and Grandpa took a trip to Japan this summer to visit Uncle Derek, and today, Clio showed off her special kimono in the unusually balmy October weather. (Another outfit of the week!). I love that Dave took these pictures outside (how inspired: photos of Clio taken somewhere other than our living room!), and I especially love how incongruous the vibrant little outfit is amidst the cars and cement of our blah sidewalk on a gray day.


As an aside, Clio has reconnected with her book collection lately, and this picture, which happened to be taken in the Kimono and is therefore being included here as an aside, captures the intensity with which she loves certain tomes.

Now, another aside and just for fun, check out the video for the Vapours Turning Japanese on youtube; apart from the low production value, this could almost be a contemporary video- isn't it amazing that 80s hair is back?
