Space Oddity

A prurient trifle, but I have always refered to the AVEX merchandising supernova Hamasaki Ayumi as "the Alien".

From the title of an article in this week Shūkan Bunshun, it seems that I am not alone in thinking her extraterrestrial:

(the katakana assessment tatooed to her torso is not mine)

Here is your garden variety Roswell crash survivor.



"How to do your eyes up in Ayu's 'like a Martian's' style" indeed.

By the way, since when does Shukan Bunshun offer articles on makeup application techniques?
