One Dress a Day Challenge

Black and White October

Mothra vs. Godzilla (Mosura tai Gojira) / Yuriko Hoshi as Junko Nakanishi

This classic polka-dotted sleeveless dress is appropriate for virtually any occasion, from meetings with the chief of an isolated tribe to negotiating with diminutive fairies. With its standing collar, A-line skirt, and belt of the same material, it wouldn't look out of place in any decade from the 1950s forward.

What's particularly impressive is that Junko somehow manages to wear it under a suit of oilskins including pants (see below) without getting it impossibly wrinkled! (Either that, or she folded it up very small and carried it in her purse.)

Junko accessorizes with a white, bucket-shaped straw hat, black shoes, and a black purse.

On a Starry Night

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

On a Starry Night (2023, Japan)

Directors: Yoshihiro Fukagawa & Daisuke Yamamoto

Writer: Shizuka Oishi

Mini-review:

I finally got around to watching this drama starring two of my favorite Japanese stars, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. First of all, I was surprised by how objective it was when it came to handling sensitive issues related to motherhood and pregnancies. J-dramas tend to be heavy-handed with this type of stuff, but not this one (not always, at least). The rest of the writing was a bit messy, with many of the characters acting way more stupidly than they're supposed to be. However, the cast is so good that it didn't bother me too much. Tbh my biggest complaint about the writing is that the male lead is too pushy and hot-headed, even if this is my favorite Takumi Kitamura performance so far. And thankfully, the character does get better as the show goes on, and I loved that the writer didn't fall into the "saintly, innocent disabled character" trope that's usually found in many Asian dramas. Anyway, On a Starry Night is far from perfect, but it made me laugh and cry, and I don't ask for much more these days.
