Saturday-Night, Akane's BD party "A Night of the Pinkness"


After spending a full day under the Sun in Jones beach, I changed the dress and shoes, because there was another mission, Akane's BD celebration in Meat packing district. What was waiting was this scene. A hazy smoky steamy weather was the one of mid summer time...

This color, with such humidity makes Amerikajin excited.
