Here’s what I wrote about it last year … Click here:)
Girls’ Day – also called “Dolls” Day as traditionally, dolls handed down from mothers to daughters for generations grace the central spot in the home almost like an alter.
So thought about Hinamatsuri celebration – will post unusual for Hinamatsuri but cute dolls and some traditional sweets in the Japanese blog:) Take a look if interested.
Why grown “girls” still love her…look up to she who still keeps reinventing
herself after 20 years at a place where teen idols don’t usually last longer than a blip in time…matured from “Sweet 19” but …a lovely lookback:

Just reminded that there’s about team of 10-30+ creating that “image” – an illusion – it’s not real, all an illusion …but …everything is an illusion anyway – Sweet.
Teen idol then and now matured and still adored:
Girl’s Day – yes, but what does this have anything to do with Yoga?
To some, these videos may be an antithesis of a yoga practice as you are trying to GET AWAY from the fakeness and materialism? The imposed idea that we have to cake on layers of makeup, wear the latest in fashion and wear break-legs high heels that ruins your natural posture – to look on the outside – beautiful?
She is like a doll? (and it’s called Dolls Day too…) Actually, I heard she’s overcome a lot of hardship, but a wonderful single mom to a teen son AND does yoga before dance training – all this gossip while getting a hair cut from a fan/stylist in Shibuya couple of months ago but … maybe I misheard it ??? as I was groggy from a jet-lag (getting vertigo in Shibuya is not a good thing – too many people rushing around.)
So not sure if it’s really true or not; but seems possible as a warm up before dance practice? After all, she is the Madonna, Japanese version.
So girls – young and old and in-between, Y O G A … (Hi Anna:)
Can you celebrate it? Can we celebrate being a “girl” especially, today, and everyday?
* To be fair, May 5th is Boys’ Day:)
