At first I thought this guy was fondling the leg and I was thinking 'Hmm, that's kind of kinky'. The man who makes love to mannequin legs. Then when I looked closer, I realized he was doing a gold paint layer. I like the gold sheen, it's very Bladerunner.

Anything that shines, we shouldn't believe in the value. Goldrush. This will bring more money.

No, I'm not that aesthetic. I love shiny plastic surfaces. I am secret Takashi Murakami fan :)
|
| M:
|
What an outing!
|
| N:
|
Where is this picture taken?
|
| M:
|
Istanbul. I think it was a Sunday. Or do they have shops closed on Sundays? In Japan Sunday is the busiest shopping day ...
|
| N:
|
I don't think so in Istanbul. In Dhaka Friday is guaranteed holiday. Saturday sometimes holiday.
|
| M:
|
So Sunday is a calm day? Or a normal working day?
|
| N:
|
Normal. Interesting it was in Istanbul. Now I start imagining what clothes the models would wear.
|
| M:
|
Tell me.
|
| N:
|
Long skirts.
|
| M:
|
My wife is walking naked behind me now.
|
| N:
|
PICTURE!!! - Only joking, please forgive me, Mrs Matsune ...

This image has a certain sentiment. His own fashion is nice as well. By the way, Johannesburg is an empty hole underneath 'coz they have taken all the gold away ...
|
| N:
|
Is it for his own shop I wonder.
