Fashion addict in Tokyo: 

• Ugly (possibly the ugliest ever) hairy leather boots for cold winters (even if it is not winter yet): check
• Naked hairy legs (after all it is not winter yet): check
• Cute bow tie: check
• Ugly glasses (frame only): check
• Different color for each part: check

Radioactive sunset in Tokyo

The sky in Tokyo is clearly showing traces of the high radioactivity.

The effects of radioactivity in the Japanese sky are clearly visible in this picture.
