blue·stock·ing (blstkng) n. A woman with strong scholarly or literary interests.
I am currently a Senior attending an all woman's college getting my Bachelor's in Art with a concentration in Art Therapy along with a minor in Art History and Psychology. I have a great fascination with Asian cultures and all things vintage. I proudly consider myself a feminist and strongly believe in women's rights. I wish I led a more exciting life other than roaming rural Pennsylvania. I also wish I was more outwardly confident. Just trying to figure out who I am and what I want to do with my life.
Shoko Tendo, daughter of a yakuza boss, depicts her chaotic life of drug-addiction, miscarriage, deaths, poverty and psychological & sexual abuse through her heart-breaking memoir. She is known as the first Japanese female ever to break the code of silence and speak about life for women in the underworld.
She wrote a book called Yakuza Moon: Memoirs of a Gangster’s Daughter. The tattoo artist that inked her said that she took it like a real Yakuza. She showed no signs of pain. Ya’ll should read the book. It’s amazing.

She is a TRUE BOSS. I am so ready to read her memoir! After reading Tokyo Vice, I’ve been very intrigued by this world....
i agree! She is stunning and her smile is gorgeous.
