Who charms Londonderry With visions of ethereal grace... Very nice! I just looked up her photo! She is definitely that. I could see her dressed up in traditional geisha attire ! hugs, Susan :)

I suspect she had geisha training as she is remarkably disciplined. When she did the news in white-face, nothing on her face moved except "tiny" lips, and I wonder to this day how she was able to do that.

Yamamoto Miki is a Japanese News Anchor employed at NHK since 1992. When she did the news in "white-face", she looked like a living French bisque doll, but now she looks as if she only needs wings to be an Irish fairy. I was truly surprised when she stopped doing "white-face" and we could see she had a "normal"-size mouth!
