[seolinah]

A jolt of pleasure runs through her middle. Loud moan emit from her lips as fingers are pushed inside of her. Her hips bucked, her free hand falling to catch the wall behind her. She clutched at the fabric of her dress like her life depended on it. Waves of pleasure wracked her body, the woman's fingers pushed on her inner walls, and her tongue hot and demanding against her folds. Tension builds overwhelmingly through her, already beginning to fall apart at the attention she's receiving. "Oh-Oh god," she repeats, unable to think straight. Her hips buck wildly over the other's mouth, needy and wanting to reach that precipice. She begs between breathy moans, unable to control herself, "Please, I--I can't. I need--"

it's not like she doesn't expect it, anyone that has a mouth on their lower region would act the exact same way. she just liked that it was her who was making the older woman fall apart a little. ivy leans her head back as her other hand comes to elizabeth's entrance. pushing her two fingers into the other's tight, little cunt which was nice and warm and a feeling she's not about to forget. her tongue plays with the hole that's wraps around her fingers. the slick wetness is making a mess on her mouth but it's not a time for her to think about when a hot woman had her legs opened for her.

Store Interior Construction Design in Japan

Store interior construction design is a highly developed branch of architecture in Japan, where designers work to integrate Japanese cultural values into contemporary retail environments. In the following articles, Cultured takes a look at several of the country’s standout designs—ranging from flagship stores for global fashion giants to small boutiques and cafes. You can find more information about choosing a 店舗内装工事.

Traditional Japanese architecture (Ri Ben Jian Zhu, Nihon Kenchiku) has long focused on the experience of indoor space. In the past, most structures were built on a raised platform with a thatched or tiled roof, and sliding doors replaced walls, enabling the interior layout to be reconfigured for each occasion. The use of wood in all forms is ubiquitous, and the material is usually exposed.

The resulting interiors are often minimalist and refined, with clean lines and a refined color palette. Japanese furnishings are often crafted from wood and other materials, such as silk and velvet, in a style that is both traditional and modern.

Many designers are also inspired by the concept of wabi-sabi, which focuses on simplicity and beauty in everyday objects and spaces. This philosophy has led to the creation of a new interior style that incorporates traditional Japanese elements with a minimalist aesthetic. The resulting interiors are both elegant and sophisticated, and they often reflect the Japanese preference for quiet, intimate spaces.

Store designs can also reference the Japanese culture of omotenashi, or hospitality. This hospitality culture is exemplified by the way Japanese people welcome guests into their homes, where they sit on tatami mats and share food and drinks. Omotenashi is an essential part of the culture, and the design of a store should reflect this welcoming atmosphere.

A Japanese retail design that references omotenashi is the flagship store for luxury clothing brand Uniqlo in Tokyo’s Ginza district. The store was designed by the firm Gensler, who worked to create a flexible layout that can be modified depending on the season or event.

For example, the store’s entrance is screened by planted trees and ivy, which soften the façade of the building. Inside, the store is organized into a series of different zones, each designed for a specific type of product: furniture and decorative items are located in the living area, kitchen utensils and tableware are displayed in the dining room, and gadgets and stationery are featured in the hobby room.

In addition to the store’s exterior and interior design, Gensler created a system for connecting the shop with the surrounding neighborhood through the use of greenery and a central garden. The store is connected to the street by a lane that provides visual separation from traffic, and the central garden offers a respite from the dense urban environment.

Stores and galleries devoted to promoting the country’s unique culture are a common sight in Japan. The design of these spaces is often as exquisite as the products they sell. Whether displaying delicate handmade goods or offering a high-end spa experience, these retail designs demonstrate the importance of Japan’s culture in its design and architecture.

Sh4bn deal that spoilt Covid-19 party at Kemsa

Mr William Willbroad Gachoka, who is also the brother of outspoken television personality Tony Gachoka, registered the company with a Chinese national, Mr Zhu Jinping. They each owned one share in the company.

At registration, the company had 1,000 nominal shares, which left it a lot of headroom to bring on board other shareholders. A few months later, the little-known company would be handpicked by the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa), and handed a Sh4 billion tender to supply 450,000 personal protective equipment (PPE) at Sh9,000 each.

Kilig was not on the list of thousands of pre-qualified companies with a history at Kemsa — it had no financial track record and no single PPE.

This would be the deal that spoilt the procurement party at the drugs agency, which would quickly escalate into a boardroom fight at the firm headquartered on Commercial Street in the capital city.

Indefensible

With this Kilig deal, Kemsa had exposed itself. It had broken all the rules, that even the suspended procurement boss, Charles Juma, said it was indefensible.

After it became apparent that Kilig would never be able to supply the tender, Kemsa cancelled it to save face.

It was too little, too late.

The anti-corruption detectives were already knocking on its doors and everyone would quickly rush into self-preservation mode.

And then names started coming out. Big election fundraisers had got some of the Covid-19 tenders, and had been paid. Connected businessmen fronted by the Health ministry had also received the Covid billions.

That was not all.

Ziwala Ltd, owned by Ms Samantha Ngina Muthama and Ms June Nduta Kinyua, is also among the beneficiaries of the Covid billions. The company is located on Ginge Road in Nairobi’s Westlands area.

Not part of Kemsa deal

Mr Murathe, who has remained in the shadows over his involvement with Kilig even as pressure mounted on him, has finally spoken, but only to deny that he was part of the Kemsa deal.

In an interview with Citizen TV on Tuesday night, Mr Murathe admitted that he knows Mr William Gachoka and Mr Zhu, who were the owners of the company at the time it got the tender.

Mr Tony Gachoka, had on several occasions linked Mr Murathe to the scam, mounting pressure on him to speak out. He has claimed that Mr Murathe will destroy his brother.

“The time for politics will come, but Kenya cannot allow impunity anymore. Stopping a tender does not excuse the illegality surrounding the issuance of several commitment letters by Kemsa to Murathe,” Mr Gachoka had said.

Mr Murathe, a known broker for Chinese companies in Kenya, has denied being a part of the Kemsa deal.

“I have partnered with William on a number of issues but not on this one. We are family friends from childhood. We are consultants. We do a lot of consultancy business.”

No procurement

“I have no connection with Kilig. I enquired from him (William) and he briefed me about their engagement with Kemsa. There was no procurement. Just a commitment to procure,” Mr Murathe said in a text message.

Trouble for Kilig started when it was unable to deliver the kits, despite having been issued with the commitment letters as well as several extension letters.

But when the heat became too much, its shareholding was conveniently changed and the company was handed to Ms Ivy Minyow Onyango, their lawyer. Mr Murathe said Ms Onyango works in William Gachoka’s office.

But in a twist to the saga, Mr Murathe sensationally claimed that some partners of Deputy President William Ruto, who he declined to name, had acquired the company after it bagged the Kemsa tender, but were also unable to raise the money required to fund the Kemsa tender.

“The lady (Ms Onyango) works in William’s (Gachoka’s) office. Actually, the only reason she came into play is because William and his partner had transferred the shareholding to known partners of Deputy President William Ruto and when they did not come through with the financing of the importation of the equipment, it reverted back to the original owners through their lawyer,” said Mr Murathe.

“Where is the theft? The reason for cancellation was inadequate budgetary provision. The reason Kemsa is in the spotlight is issuing commitment letters beyond their budgetary provision. I have never supplied or applied to supply any Covid-related materials or equipment, either directly or through third parties. To link me to Kilig through association with William is unfair,” he added.

Direct procurement

The suspended Kemsa procurement chief observed in an internal memo to his CEO, Dr Jonah Manjari, who is also suspended, that direct procurement for the emergency kits could only be used as a stop-gap measure in getting limited stocks to be used while the agency planned for a competitive procurement tender.

He said Kemsa had breached this by placing an order for kits in bulk that would have lasted a long time.

“From the Kilig Ltd commitment letter, the total quantity requested is 450,000 kits at approximate unit price of Sh9,000 bringing the total amount to Sh4,050,000,000. This is a huge and substantial quantity, which will last a long time and does not meet threshold of procurement under direct procurement for emergency,” wrote Mr Juma.

This single deal has now emerged as the last stroke that could break the Jubilee Party, having handed DP Ruto a fighting chance when it comes to corruption.

It has also given him a new weapon to fight Mr Murathe, whom he accuses of being the broker that is destroying the Jubilee marriage.

[wardowrites]

Wardo was briefly pleased by the reaction he got, Ivy’s face scrunching up in a way that satisfied him up until she hit out with a retort of her own. He knew that she’d only said it to provoke a reaction from him, probably a childish one where she hoped that he’d rear his head back and reveal a disgusted expression of his own. Maybe let out an “ew, gross” to highlight who horrendous he thought that was. That was what Ivy probably wanted, anyway.

He let her have it. It wasn’t his proudest moment, but his nose had already wrinkled itself up in distaste before he could stop it.

“Fuckin’ heathen, keep your hands to yourself,” he warned her, perfectly aware that there was no way in hell Ivy would want to put her hands anywhere near his ass. When they first met, it might have been a different story, which was one of those few victories he could consistently laud over her. Ivy couldn’t change the past, meaning she also couldn’t change the fact that she’d once confessed to having a crush on him when they first met. He was under no delusions about how she felt about him now, that sisterly-affection she had for him running far deeper than what most real life siblings had, but still remaining strictly platonic, but he still liked to keep that little ace up his sleeve. Not that he was particularly interested in playing it now.

“Not a good argument actually,” he said, hanging Capote’s leash up by the door. “He’s shoved his face into like ten different dog butts today, the goddamn pervert.”

He frowned at his Dalmatian, hoping that he looked fatherly and strict. But Capote was far too busy letting himself be fussed over by Ivy to pay attention to Wardo. He didn’t fuck a fuck about that one shih-zhu’s owner who’d screamed bloody murder at the dog park and all but accused Wardo of raising a sex offender.

When Ivy sat down, kicking her dirty boots up on the table, any house proud person might have shoved her feet away. But Wardo wasn’t house proud. Instead, he sat at the other end of the sofa and kicked his own dirty boots up, plopping them down in Ivy’s lap. He was far more interested in hearing why she was even in his apartment in the first place, but it seemed like she had already moved on from that and was intent on tormenting him again. 

“You’re like if they combined a serial killer and a Wattpad author and raised it in a laboratory,” he told her, tipping his head back against the sofa cushions.

A weight pressed down on his shoulder and suddenly there was a mass of white fur sliding down his chest to make itself at home in his lap. Absently, he reached out to pat Ulysses, knowing that he had about five minutes before the little shit started whining for his food. And in those five minutes he wanted to make sure he had as much intel as possible about this barista Ivy brought up.

“How old are we talking? Like, DILF old or old enough that you’re gonna make a quick buck when you marry into his life insurance?” he asked her. “Dibs if he ends up being gay, by the way.” He smirked, suddenly confident that Ivy would already have to concede. No man that worked at Billy’s place preferred women.

Any initial discomfort that Ivy felt immediately melted away when she saw the look on Wardo’s face. Who knew her aim was so good? With an inelegant snort, she dropped down to her knees as Capote bounded toward her – there was something really satisfying about how much her best friend’s dog liked her more than him. Or at least, that’s what she liked to believe. 

“First of all, you’re disgusting,” Ivy told him, glancing up at him with a look of disgust scrunching up her features. She knew he was lying – or rather, she hoped? Surely not even Wardo Martinelli was that rancid – but it still conjured up an unwanted image in her mind. “Secondly, how do you know I’m not reveling in the idea of having your asshole all over my hands by proxy?” 

She grinned at that, knowing that no matter how satisfied Wardo might be with skeeving her out, she’d already immediately topped him with that sentence. “And third, I don’t think you’d let me pet Capote if you know I was touching him with booty hands.” 

After a quick spell of eager licks from Capote to her ear, nose and chin, Ivy gave the dalmatian one last pet before pushing herself up to full height as she wandered over to Wardo. Throwing herself down onto his sofa, she kicked her feet up onto his coffee table, dirty boots and dildo making themselves home atop it, and rolled her eyes at his nickname for her. 

“That’s actually none of your business,” she told him, refusing to let him know she’d been snooping for potential Christmas ideas.  

It wasn’t so much that she didn’t want him to know that she was getting him something, but she knew he’d be really annoying about it. Like, once he’d gotten finished telling her that she didn’t need to buy him shit he’d be bragging and taunting her about how much she loves his stupid ass. And while it was true that she did love his stupid ass, she didn’t need to hear it from him. 

“What was that? You wanna hear about all the dicks I’ve seen lately?” she quipped, eager to change the subject and piss him off. “You wanna hear about all the long, juicy, hairy cocks I’ve sucked lately while you’ve had to resort to a silicone one?” 

Wagging her eyebrows, she lifted one hand into a loose fist, poking her inner cheek with her tongue as she mimicked the filthy action.  

“Okay, fine, maybe I won’t bore you with the details, but do you wanna hear about the hot old man Barista that I am tryna fuck down at Billy’s place?”

Hey anon, I didn't know where to start so here are some actresses with resources at the time of posting!

[bao3bei4]

girlbosses, male wives, and other lesbian genders

a post about jing wei qing shang. but also mostly about another unrelated movie. spoiler-free.

for a lot of people, mulan 1998 is their definitive “ohhh i’m a chinese woman dressing as a man for contrived reasons and i get absolutely nooo erotic pleasure from this” movie. 

however, because i am very special and unique, for me it’s the love eterne 1963. it’s the shaw brothers adaptation of butterfly lovers, the classic chinese folktale. here’s how i’d summarize the movie: 

zhu yingtai, an aspiring scholar, convinces her parents to let her dress as a man to attend school. on the way there, she meets liang shanbo, another prospective student, and they become sworn brothers. they study together for three years, growing closer, until zhu yingtai returns home. liang shangbo accompanies her for the eighteen-li journey home while she hints she’s a woman, but he remains oblivious. by the time he learns her gender, her parents have engaged her to another man. he dies of grief, and while she mourns at his grave, it splits open, and she buries herself inside with him. two scraps of her torn outfit turn into butterflies and fly away.

it’s worth noting here that like. this movie is made in the huangmei opera style. so both zhu yingtai and liang shanbo are played by women (betty loh ti and ivy ling po respectively). because of this, basically every level of the film is preoccupied with gender: if we take zhu yingtai’s male performance as credible (as the characters in the movie do) the leads bond through male homoeroticism; the text is ultimately about a heterosexual romance; it is acted out by two women, in a performance that is difficult to mistake as heterosexual or even feminine; and the dialogue of the movie can’t help but remark on this.

basically it asks: what if lesbians could be gay both ways? wouldn’t that be based? 

like opera was traditionally made by single gender casts, so roles tended to be genderless, in that the gender of the actor doesn’t determine the gender of the role they play. roles are instead typed into four categories: dan (fem), sheng (masc), chou (clown), and jing (painted face). it’s a sick gender quadinary. each of these roles has further subtypes that are represented through stylized patterns of singing, makeup, costuming, movement etc.

so in butterfly lovers, betty loh ti plays a dan, and ivy ling po plays a sheng. but because of the textual cross-gender play, you end up with a woman playing a woman playing a man who falls in love with a woman playing a man.

i’m going to make a brief digression here into talking about like.. acting theory. in the european tradition, you see it evolving out of early concerns (from stanislavski, brecht) about the fourth wall, and its permeability or lack thereof. in chinese opera tradition, the fourth wall didn’t ever really exist. and mei lanfang, the legendary fanchuan performer, claimed that his success wasn’t just due to his appearance, but rather, his mastery of some nonliteral feminine subjectivity. 

If I kept my male feelings, even just a trace, it will betray my true self; then how can I compete for the audience’s affection for feminine beauty and guile?

i’m not going to argue that there’s like, an essence to being a woman because i’m not a fucking idiot. but there’s something to be said for the idea that the gendered interplay between the audience’s perception of the actor, the actor’s perception of themself, and the character they play is a massive part of the appeal of fanchuan performance.

this is echoed by david hwang’s m. butterfly, in which gallimard memorably says, “i’m a man who loved a woman created by a man. everything else—simply falls short.” btw sorry for having the type of brain disease where i constantly reference chinese crossdressing related media. you already know why i have it. 

anyway. parallel to that (but far less morally detestably), jin jiang argues “young male impersonators in yue opera embody women’s ideal men—elegant, graceful, capable, caring, gentle, and loyal.” so, trivially, 1) the eroticism embodied by fanchuan performers is distinctly different from their “straight” counterparts, and perhaps less trivially 2) it’s way better. 

back to the love eterne for a bit. one of the many reasons it’s lodged itself into my psyche is because there’s something more interesting at play than just all that. normally in opera, to compensate for any perceived residual femininity in the sheng, the dan camps it up even further. so this is how zhu yingtai first appears, this bratty femme pastiche of womanhood. yet within a couple minutes she’s dressed as a man, which she’ll stay as for the bulk of the movie. they do however make compromises with the makeup--more gently lifted eyebrows than the steep angles of the sheng opera beat, and an improbably masculine smoky eye. 

that’s right. they performed girlbossification on her. 

i don’t want to suggest that she’s straightforwardly feminine. i could write an entire other thing on her relationship to masculinity. instead i want to highlight the erotic interplay not just between the “girl” and the “boss” but also between her and her counterpart: the male wife. 

liang shanbo is ostensibly straightforwardly male, but his relationship with zhu yingtai isn’t gay in the ahaha what if i was into my bro way-- it’s a what if i was into my bro and i was his wife way.

that’s right. they performed force fem on a cis woman-man. like when zhu yingtai tells him he can’t watch over her as she recovers from an illness because “boys and girls can’t sleep together,” liang shanbo asks “are you implying that I’m a girl?”

there’s a lot of shit like this that builds up over the course of the movie. it all culminates in that final 18 mile journey. along the way, zhu yingtai compares them to a pair of mandarin ducks, one male & one female. liang shanbo sputters “i am a man inside out-- you shouldn’t--” before graciously conceding, “you may compare me to a woman.” 

this is like. a simple punchline. but it’s incredible. it’s true! liang shanbo isn’t a man inside out in that he’s a man and only a man, but rather that he’s a man seen inside first, built for desiring, by a woman & for a woman. as a perpetual object, he becomes a more believable woman than zhu yingtai. and at least in his view, it seems more likely that he could be a woman than her. but beyond that, his permissive tone reads as a kind of wanting in itself--recast, if she wants, “for you, i’ll be a woman.” 

obviously this is a classic lesbian mood. who among us has not seen “no gender only lesbian” posts. and speaking of classic lesbians, you might ask. did you just tiresomely reinvent butches and femmes but with a more annoying name? yes. no. okay. well. 

first, like butch/femme dynamics have both historical specificity and a classed character such that it’s not rlly that appropriate to impose them on the love eterne. and i guess more importantly, i wanna talk about stuff that isn’t real.

we fight all day about people who confuse performance with performativity, (i use we lightly here. for instance, i go outside every day so i don’t care about discourse) but what if we actually wanted to talk about the former for once? something specifically, whether we choose or are forced into it, that we pretend to be? 

anyway. what the hell does all that have to do with jing wei qing shang. i’m going to start by first making the argument that there’s no such thing as a naturally occurring girlboss. i think, honestly, she’s a product of capitalism (“boss” should be the tipoff here) but because both of these stories are set in ambiguously historical china, i’m going to say, instead that she’s a product of uhhh primitive accumulation.

semantics so that i can be canon compliant with marxism aside, if girlbosses are made not born, can you choose to be a girlboss? sheryl sandberg says yes. i don’t disagree, i guess, but i will say: stop glamorizing it! humans only become girlbosses when they’re greatly distressed. 

you become a girlboss when you have no other choice not to be one. when your wants are too great to be a woman, when the things you want are not things that women should want-- whether that’s something that really no one should want, like being a ceo, or whether that’s just something like loving a woman (or, as it is quite often, both) -- you have to become something else. 

another important part of being a girlboss is that other people are not. your excesses mean that not only do you lose something in the process, but your bosshood comes at the expense of others. the girlboss necessitates a girlworker, or so to speak. 

now we’re getting to jwqs. i’m assuming that you haven’t read jwqs, because most people haven’t. that was me until like four days ago. in broad strokes, the novel is about a woman, qiyan agula, who was raised as a prince, and her quest for revenge against the kingdom who slaughtered her people. of course, this involves marrying one of the princesses of that kingdom. it’s all very exciting (lesbian). 

what’s striking about jwqs is that both of them seem to fit the girlboss paradigm, in vaguely similar ways. qi yan (agula’s assumed name) seems to follow the lineage of zhu yingtai, who pretends to be a man to achieve her goals. she’s forced to give up much in the process, and also sacrifices a, uh, lot of innocent people. similarly, nangong jingnu, the princess, is inherently a girlboss because royalty sucks. but also, qi yan girlbossifies her over the course of their relationship. 

but i wouldn’t say jwqs is girlboss4girlboss. there’s something a little more complicated happening. qi yan isn’t zhu yingtai in that she’s a dan pretending to be a sheng. it seems more like that she was a sheng all along. it’s something that the women of the novel return to often: qi yan seems to be better than a man.

for instance, nangong sunu, jingnu’s older sister, reflects on this. 

Nangong Sunu had seen many foolishly loving women who sacrificed everything for the sake of their husbands, but there were rarely any men who would do the same for them. 

(...) 

Thinking it through, Nangong Sunu felt that Qi Yan was truly becoming more interesting. She intended to observe discreetly for a while, to verify if such a man truly existed in this world. (ch 221) 

and i forgot to write down the citation for this, but nangong jingnu also seems to argue that not only is qi yan prettier than a man, but she also seems to be prettier than a woman. (it’s the bit where she’s watching qi yan sleep. help me out here.)

moreover, the way qi yan relates to nangong jingnu is suggestive. jingnu brings out the elements of wanting to be a woman in her. it’s jingnu’s body that makes her wonder what she would look like if she was more feminine. it’s jingnu’s happiness that she resents, wishing that her people could have that as well. it’s her desire for jingnu that makes her a woman. 

(another important distinction i suppose--while one person can’t be both a butch and a femme, because the girlboss and the male wife are things we pretend to be until we embody them / them us -- there’s greater slippage between the two.)

anyway, the girlboss/male wife dynamic is reversed wrt who’s actually dressing as a different gender. that suggests an inversion in the implications we see from the love eterne, if we are to take the love eterne as the paradigmatic girlboss text. which i do, for no reason in particular. 

so then, is qi yan pretending to be a man? under the opera framework, we’re forced to say no. she’s not pretending to be a man any more so than liang shanbo (as acted by ivy ling po) was. but that, of course, feels incorrect, just looking at the text. is she, then, pretending to be a sheng? i’d strongly say no. the things that others see in her, they authentically see; and she does authentically feel the same things as liang shanbo wrt femininity.

so it has to be the opera framework that jwqs is subverting then. if qi yan kept some trace of her once-womanhood, if qi yan reveals her true self, and yet she still can compete for the audience’s affection-- jwqs’s inversion of the opera framework seems to argue instead that it’s that true self that allows you to compete. it’s being masc that lets you be a desirable woman; it’s being feminine that lets you be a desirable man.

there’s an increased gender ambivalence to jwqs, which make sense, i guess, seeing as it’s not meant to be a het story the way that the love eterne was. for instance, nangong jingnu crossdresses to go out in public, and qi yan remarks that jingnu’s disguise fooled her on their first meeting. when qi yan and jingnu go out in public, both disguised as men, they’re repeatedly perceived as a gay male couple. there’s freedom in that: they could be gay women only privately, they could be straight officially, but they could be anonymously gay publicly. 

so it’s through the gay male pretense that they can be gay women; it’s through the qi yan pretense that agula can love women; it’s the qi yan caring husband persona that coaxes jingnu in caring for qi yan in return-- jwqs, more precisely, argues that you can’t be a woman if you’re going to love them, and even less so if you’re going to be loved by one. 

this is perhaps well-trodden ground for anyone who has read wittig & certainly many people who haven’t. but it’s the layer of pretense that for me complicates these two narratives. 

i think it’s a relatable feeling: wanting something anticipating getting something, or wanting something for yourself anticipating knowing that you already had it. that is, desire in itself being constitutive of that reality. 

or less abstractly, knowing that you’d want to be a lesbian if you could, knowing that you’d want not to be a woman if you could-- anticipating any realization of either. 

the dramatic excesses & wants of the girlboss, i think, are a decent literary stand in for being a lesbian. 

i wanna note here that this is rlly just based on my experience being a transmisogyny exempt nonbinary diaspora lesbian lol. it’s fun & cathartic to overread this history & place myself in the accidental implications.

i don’t think most of the things i say are literally true. and i don’t want to overstep & say any of this can be generalized. please lmk if something here doesn’t read right! ok kisses bye
