Welcome to September! I hope your summer has been pleasant and fun filled, and that your electrical doesn't resemble the National Debt from having to use the air conditioner as much as you had thanks to seemingly endless heatwaves. UGH! But with the arrival of September, the weather starts to cool, kids are returning to school, baseball is starting it's pennat drive, and football (pros and college) is cranking up! YAY!
Of course, for the truly devoted Pink Lady fan, September also means birthday time for Kei-chan who turns 53 this month! Wow! And there's no doubt she looks as magnificent now as she did back in her fresh faced teens. With that in mind, I present to you my main feature as around twenty years ago, Kei starred in a movie called "Code Name K: Lady Connection". When I first learned of this film a few months ago, I can remember being stunned as I had no idea this even existed, and when I got my hands on a copy (won via Japanese online auction) and watched it one night, I was floored. It was easily one of the cheesest films I've ever seen, but plenty fun too as Kei played a stone face operative out to gain info a Yakuza-Triad turf war in Hong Kong. To see Kei in the role of an action heroine a la Michelle Yeoh, karate kicking bad guys one minute, then shooting to kill the next was an absolute riot. I had a blast watching this film, and I'm sure you'll enjoy a collection of screen caps I've culled from the film for your viewing pleasure. There's also an in-depth review of the film from fellow PL fan GLPL that you'll find informative.
