Yamamoto Miki has a face
That stands out in a crowd anyplace
She looks like the fairy
Who charms Londonderry
With visions of ethereal grace

Love the title Rico, must say I've never heard of her. Hope your week is going well. Tom

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!
