...alone, he kept upper-middle-class comedy alive long past its prime. In the precision of his diction, the seeming intimacy of his asides, and that dry cackle of a laugh, he was the movies' Johnny Carson. Surely no one devoted as much intelligent energy as Lemmon did to chic, Hollywood-style humor in its mature years.

But then, why would you need to show off when just being there sets you above hoi polloi: the cheapest...
...since opening in May last year, sales have totaled around $9 million. Moussy's fashionista-in-chief Yoko Morimoto, 23, is a former karisuma tenin who is putting her own spin on kawaii. The look Moussy is flogging can best be described as otona (adult) type?sophisticated, chic, the look a girl wears when she wants some respect. It's a toned-down reaction to the big platforms, streaked blond hair and rebellious styles of the past few years. The Shibuya girls are all saying it's kawaii.
