Power Vacation

There is nothing better in life than a Power Vacation. Ebony and I pride ourselves on our expert techniques and abilities to go-go-go and never sleep while conquering a city!

Last week we went back to Tokyo to take care of business, pleasure and summer fun! From the minute we hit the landing strip in Tokyo, it was sheer insanity. Straight to Roku, our favorite little oden bar in Shibuya, then to Le Baron still with suitcases in tow, for a party by Kaylee Boyer. All it took were a few sweet words to bypass the guestlist and have the staff taking care of our luggage...and before we knew it, we were drinking the finest champage with our bestest friends, dancing to Data Rock on the decks, Shooting tequilla with Yone, orgainizing a Make Believe gift for Lady Gaga and flirting with hot Brazilians! We were unstopable!

Reunited and it feels so goood! Eb with Roxi ilil and Sonia

The Family reunion...Ebony with Takeru from Kawaii Tokyo, our best man Leon and Sanya from Dual Tokyo.

And of course, the impromptu parking lot under construction photoshoot before skulling our chu his and hitting the club!

mmmm mmmmm good!

I dont even want to know what the photos on his precious camera look like!

Ebony sandwich with a side of Yone (aka Yasumasa Yonehara) and the creamy stuff is Dan Bailey from Tokyo Dandy.

Just a little Data Rock seduction!

And yes, I will admit that Ebony went home like a good girl, while I followed trouble into the back streets. This is the walk home in the morning.

Ebony is looking fresher than she feels at a business lunch the next day with the lovely ladies at Dual.

おいしい！

Ebony and the lovely Sanya

We found Igalliano styling a shoot on Cat Street right behind the Chanel store...she is the raddest girl in Tokyo!!!

Me and Leon walking and shopping off that hang over...damn champagne, mojitos, beer, chu hi and cola shock!

Just some precious little puppies...no idea what this sandwich board is advertising though?!?!?

And now...get ready for more Tokyo pics and adventures. You simply need to wait a day or two while I get my act together!

It feels like a million years ago now, but it was just at the beginning of April that Ebony and I were gearing up to say Sayonara to Tokyo and fly away back to our sunny studios in Sydney. In the last few days leading up to our departure, we had a million zillion things to do and more than enough determination to do it. Nights without sleep, days without stopping, and meals eaten in convenience stores without sitting.

We had arranged a photo shoot on our second last day in Tokyo, so when our morning business meeting in Shibuya ran over, it made us late. As we zipped to meet our musical genius models, the Trippple Nippples we split up in taxis to conquer all. It was such a whirlwind day...the Nippples were helping us slather on their make up, and we were doing all the last minute adjustments to the clothing and jewelry. All the while, our very special photographer friend, Dan Bailey from Tokyo Dandy was waiting patiently for us in the serene park Shinjuku Gyoen amongst hundreds of people who were also there to view the cherry blossoms.

We arrived at the park with juice, hairspray and capes in hand and began to seek out the best places to get some incredible shots. For a park that you have to pay to enter and go through turnstiles, we managed to find such peaceful tranquility. It was one of the most glorious days of my life, and as the park emptied at 4pm, we found ourselves alone in the magical park. And as the sun tucked behind the big bad buildings of Shinjuku, it truly felt like we were in the land of Make Believe.
