One Glass Of Water Doesn't Equal Another. One May Just Appease The Thirst, The Other You May Enjoy Thoroughly. In Japan, People Know About This Difference.

The '90s Were Extremely Diverse, Almost Like A Laboratory Of The New Century. There Was Much Experimenting Around, In Politics, Economics, Gender And Family Structures, And Also In Fashion. There Was A Cloud Of Possibilities Which Kept Us All Dizzy.

It Is Not Easy To Dress Well.
