Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
That’s Mei Melancon, aka Psylocke from X-Men and model Jenny Shimizu comparing Blackberry notes in my kitchen. Jenny Shimizu is on the cover of GR10 and she’s on Make Me a Supermodel on Bravo.

To celebrate the premiere of Shinjuku Incident today I’m reposting the viral video that was made for the film. The song Let’s Go is by Crudo made up of Dan The Automator(Gorillaz, Handsome Boy Modeling School) and Mike Patton (Faith No More, Peeping Tom). This is a viral NOT a trailer made to just give you a taste but reveal nothing! Thaks to Kim Chan for the edit.
