Modernizing the hanbok
I don’t really care about fashion much, and I don’t blog about it, but I saw various mentions on the interwebs of Canadian actress Sandra Oh‘s above tribute to the hanbok, or traditional Korean dress, which she wore to the SAG awards earlier this week.

Open Thread #15
Wow, I totally missed my blog’s first anniversary (sometime mid-January, although the actual start date’s a little hazy).
