On June 3rd I returned to Asia for the launch of E. Funkhouser New York's newest color collection C007: Streamline. My trip consisted of a total of 6 presentations. On June 5th I gave 2 presentations in Tokyo at the Amway Japan Headquarters, On the 7th I gave a surprise presentation at the Amway Plaza in Osaka and 2 more presentations later that night at Club Platinum. On June 10th I made my way to Nagoya where I gave my last presentation at the Club Diamond Hall.
While in Tokyo I was able to take some time to do a bit of walking around and got to visit one of my favorite areas of Tokyo, Harajuku! I have always found Harajuku to be a place where I can extract inspiration from. Whether it be the one-of-a-kind stores that line the eclectic alley way or the streets which are home to those who embody the spirit of Harajuku or the people themselves, Harajuku is alive with color, style and attitude! For me it's like home away from home. As a matter of fact while I was in Harajuku I was asked if I would mind having my picture taken for an on line style magazine. I posed, the camera snapped away and about a week later my picture was posted on the site.

Looking at the photo I realize just how much I love the custom Kaftan top I was wearing made by friend and designer Martin Keehn and the custom made pants created by Stella Zotis, a long time friend and designer of custom rock regalia. Both of these amazing designers have worked in the fashion world for some time whether it be putting the finishing touches on a fashion collection for runway shows or creating clothing for rock stars like Deborah Harry and Sebastian Bach. I'm so lucky to know these two incredible and talented people and thank them both for helping me look my best and express my personal flare and creative self!
On another exciting note, today is the birthday of my first born, Rumi turns 2! Happy Birthday Rumi!
We are also quickly approaching another momentous occasion, my birthday! This year my birthday wish is to hit 400 friends on the (link) official E. Funkhouser New York Facebook! If you aren’t already one of the beautiful faces, sign up and join my group!
