pretty damn tired.  this week has been the week from hell.

Saw this info on a japanese movie that sounds intresting – Kamikazi girls http://www.kamikazigirls.net its about  –

Momoko (pop idol Kyoko FUKADA, pictured above) yearns to live in 18-century Versailles than in her back-country hometown of Shimotsuma, heartland of the yakuza. To escape, she loses herself in the dreamy, doll-like fashions of the “Lolita” scene. Her idol is Akinori Isobe, chief designer of Baby, the Stars Shine Bright—her favorite Lolita design hose. She travels all the way to Tokyo to shop at their store.

One languid summer, to help fund her expensive hobby, Momoko runs a
classified ad of brand-name knock-off clothes (produced by her dad) for
sale. She encounters a buyer named Ichiko (the real name is Ichigo), who
happens to live in her neighborhood.

Super-rebel Ichiko (model and J-rock icon Anna TSUCHIYA, pictured below), is a “Yankee”-style member of the Ponytails motorbike gang, one of Ibaraki’s “wild speed tribes,” whose teeth-rattling customized bikes are decked out with fiberglass shields and bannered backrests.

Somewhat against Momoko’s will, she and Ichigo slowly develop a strong friendship as they share their feelings on the odd goings-ons around them.

Unfortunately cant find any info about an australian release date.  and its just my type of movie too… 

the other thing I found intresting, while looking up info on the earthquake in sendai on tuesday, on the mainichi news website they had a report on the world cosplay summit.  Yes thats right.  World Cosplay Summit….  OMG. http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/photospecials/graph/wcs2005/

Italian Giorgia Vecchini took top prize dressed up as sultry Sirene from “Devilman.”
