soubriquet 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Jenny was the face of Ginzan Onsen. She was the only blonde haired-blue eyed mistress of a classic ryoken. Now she's bunked off to the USA with her two daughters. Don't fancy hubby's chances of getting custody. That reduces the Yorpeens here by 33%. It's me and Bruno. He's French so doesn't count.

soubriquet 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 Yes, it's just up the road from here. I know her quite well, though not in the biblical sense. Ginzan is a ripper place. Traffic-free, with hot water piped through the main street. Trout (not Mersey Trout) swimming in the river. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Her personal life is none of anyone's business I suppose, but I wonder who the tourist people there will spin it. She featured in a lot of promotional stuff. I saw a thing about her once on tv and she looked like a mega Japanophile. The place she ran was all renovated inside and was modern but with a classic Japanese aesthetic. With all the formality of a traditional ryokan, it looked like really hard work.

soubriquet 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 "Over-capitalised" is the expression. I'm very sorry she's gone, and I miss her and her daughters. Being famous is no substitute for income > outgoing. Link to post Share on other sites
