Honest Abe Gets An Extreme Makeover
I thought playing Rhett Butler in an all-Japanese, all-female production of Gone With The Wind was about as gender-bendy as you could get, but now one of the esteemed actresses in the famed Takarazuka troupe is donning beard and top hat to portray America’s most gangly abolitionist!

Read a novel set in Tokyo…

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
Maybe the actress has a screeching, Gilbert Gottfried-voice and this will actually be the most authentic Abe Lincoln portrayal since, um, Gilbert Gottfried in that Seth MacFarlane movie. (Wow, I’ve really got him on my brain today)
Ahahahaha I think that’s a sign you need to get out more!
There’s just so much Family Guy on a Navy ship… Everyone watches it all the time, and the quotes never stop. -_-
