Jenny Shimizu interview on CherryGrrl.com

"I do not own a TV and I haven’t had one in years. I find it to be very addictive. The value of reality TV might be that we get off on living vicariously through characters we normally would not meet.

"I’m impressed by anyone who succeeds in this business and manages to keep sane. I have so much respect for Ellen, Portia and people who generate inspiration and goodness."

"Readers will be surprised to know that I am in bed by 10 pm almost every night.  Earlier, if I have a lover."

"I don’t really want a reaction from people. All I want to do is be myself and be an inspiration to be comfortable in your own skin."

That Effortless Cool


The original CK 1 stance. I mean has cool ever been this effortless?
The blur between boy and girl...it's a cyclical obsession that always spins back into currency at least once every decade. Well there's going to be a looooot of that for Spring 2011 which is why TI was inspired to go into the Spur files from December 2009 and pay tribute to the fabulous uniqueness that is Jenny Shimizu via this excerpt. Jenny is now working as an agent at Women Direct and even though I know I'm supposed to be having thoroughly professional conversations with her I can't help being a little bit of a groupie in her presence. I mean has cool ever been this effortless? All hail!
