Rumi of http://www.fashiontoast.com/ was in Japan when all of this devestation occured. I got a news update from CNN in the middle of the night noting 2,000 more bodies being found. Please read her story and no how lucky we are. Fashion and humanity can really change this world. for japan My journey began Wednesday when I left Silverlake for Tokyo on a plain sunny LA morning. I'd packed haphazardly at best (five pairs of shoes? all shorts? my biggest furry coat on the plane? sure..) and was feeling a little delirious and a lot carefree, making Colin stop for my favorite coffee and orange juice so I could leave with a taste of home even though he insisted I needed the international-required 2 hours to check in. It ended with an early flight back from an airport lined with people on blankets by jam-packed ticketing counters and Next LA miraculously having succeeded in finding that one way ticket home.
