Horikita named Best Leathernist

// November 2nd, 2009 // 2 Comments » // News

It was time for the annual "Best Leathernist" Awards and this year our Horikita Maki and Panzetta Girolamo were chosen to look the best in leather clothes. Girolamo was happy to share the award with Horikita and even said that, "She’s a beautiful person."

Horikita attended the event wearing a nice dress and a racing jacket. Together with her fresh hairstyle, she had a much cooler look than usual. "You have a very cute face, so this fashion really suits you." Girolamo complimented her. "She already looked so beautiful backstage, I simply had to greet her before appearing in front of the reporters." He revealed. Horikita enjoyed his words and replied with a smile, "Thank you very much."

Things turned out even better for her, because she even received a surprise present from Girolamo. They prepared 3 different clutch wallets for him to choose from and he selected the colorful as present for Horikita. Giving away presents he didn’t even prepare himself? He thought the same and went out of his way to make an arrangement with the sponsor to give her the just introduced leather booths as well. Horikita couldn’t help but being smitten with his charms.

Further into the event, Horikita also revealed that she really loves to wear leather jackets in her private time. Therefore she was especially happy to be chosen as the best leathernist of 2009. "There’s a certain thing about women who wear leather. I’d like to become a cool woman who looks good in leather." She proclaimed. Girolamo still wasn’t running out of nice words for Horikita. "More than winning the award, I’m happy to be standing next to such a beautiful woman." The reporters had a good laugh as his face turned red right after saying this.

In Japan, November 3rd got chosen to be the "Good Leather Day" and they are using the same day to honor those celebs who look the best in leather outfits. Last year’s awardees were the actor Tanihara Shosuke and the actress/model Karina.

Maki’s “Sunset Photo” at Fujifilm photo exhibition

// October 3rd, 2009 // No Comments » // News

Today the “‘PHOTOS IS’ 10,000 Tari no Shashin Ten 2009″ (”‘PHOTO IS’ -Photos of 10,000 people 2009-”) exhibition opened at the “Fujifilm Square” in Tokyo Midtown with special guest Horikita Maki attending the opening like in 2008. Among the photos of 10,000 people, there are also ‘heartwarming’ photos made by Horikita herself, this year with a new one.

At the exhibition there is a corner called “100 photos that impressed the celebrities” where Horikita and 9 other celebrities pick 10 photos each they like the most. On stage she commented about the 3 most impressive ones of the 10 she selected and 2 of them have a very warm family theme.

“The scenery with the setting sun and the warm love of a family, I really love that.” She praised it on stage. “Do you also want to have your own family soon?” Horikita got asked. “Maybe not soon, but I definitely want to have a family, especially when seeing this photo…,” She answered with a smile. As usual the reporters kept on bugging with the love issue and asked her for her ideal type of man. “A kind person would be nice, somebody who would be a calm and gentle father.”

Horikita can almost be called a real ‘photographer’ herself, since she’s carrying a camera with her every day. “It’s a bit embarrassing to take photos, but I still love it.” She then got asked whether ‘Love’ would be a good time to take a picture and she bashfully answered, “I don’t know, but I’m always prepared to take a picture. The focus point… that would be difficult for this one, though.” For her newest photo she got on a boat at a beach and photographed the beautiful sunset. “The sea was very rough at that time, I didn’t think that I would be able to get a nice picture. However, I think this one here came out quite nice, with the setting sun, the color of the sky and the tip of the boat and the island.” She timidly explained and clearly impressed the crowd, especially the professional cameramen who are working for the reporters.

Nice sceneries have been the specialty of Horikita up until now, but recently she also got into taking pictures of people. It appears that she only uses her very close friends as models for a certain reason, though. “I constantly have to change the composition and take a lot of pictures until I get one that can convince me.” She seems to be very serious when it comes to photographs, just like a professional.

The exhibition starts for the public at the Fujifilm Square on the 26th and is going to visit over 20 different cities until November. It’s the 4th time they are doing this photo exhibition where everyone can participate by sending in their photos along with a comment.
