G-Shock's New Japan-Made Watches Selling Out Fast

G-Shock
For centuries, the glowing red chochin lanterns outside Japanese izakayas have signaled good food, cold drinks, and long nights with friends. Now, G-Shock is bringing that iconic piece of Japanese culture to the wrist with two striking new watches: the DW5600AKA-4 and DW6900AKA-4.

The two classic G-Shock silhouettes feature red resin cases and bands, in honor of the izakayas' red paper lights, which date back to Japan's Edo period. The watches' faces are boldly decorated with the Kanji characters reading "耐衝撃," meaning "shock resistance" in a script that evokes traditional Japanese establishment displays.

In an interview with the New York Times, Levinson was asked about his relationship with Sweeney and her comfort with performing the mature content "Euphoria" requires of her. "Well, it’s funny. When I first wrote it, I was like, 'Maybe we shoot all of this and we don’t have any nudity. Maybe there’s ways to shoot around certain things?'" Levinson said.

Iliad Describes Helen As "Fair" And "White"

Helen Of Troy
It looks like the race-swapping trend in Hollywood just does not want to die. Even after the box office disaster that was Disney’s "Latina Snow White" movie last year, there is yet another person of colour set to portray a traditionally white character in an upcoming major production.

This time, it is one of the great epics of the earliest European literature, Homer’s "Odyssey", and the mythical figure of Helen of Troy that gets the Hollywood treatment.
