I had lunch with Nadine of Tokyo Shoes earlier this week at the very cool Cube Zen in Aoyama, and she gave me this little horse from the Kubrick and Baby Milo collaboration. Gotta get me a soldier or a general to ride him.

Jean Snow lives and breathes design and pop culture in Tokyo -- sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He has reported on these obsessions for the following online/offline publications: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Game|Life, and The Japan Times. He also manages the gallery space at Cafe Pause.
The Superfuture Superguides are a series of PDF travel guides to some of your favorites cities, updated monthly, and obsessively compiling the best places to shop, eat, and drink. The Tokyo guide is edited by Jean Snow.
Jean Snow is the design/culture editor at Neojaponisme, a web journal covering social and cultural aspects of Japan. Read the manifesto, by founder and chief editor W. David Marx, here.
PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition happens May 12.

That Nadine girl rocks!! I gotta make friends with her :)
Jesper, you are pretty kick-ass yourself and I have been loving your guest blogging here at “JeansNow.”
These Baby Milo toys were grab bag: you get what you get. I ended up with 3 horses and no soldiers so I gave one to Jean. If you want the other horse send me your address and I will mail it to you.
Happy blogging!
Nadine
