Description

StarAll eyes are on Rikio. And he likes it, mostly. His fans cheer, screaming and yelling to attract his attention they would kill for a moment alone with him. Finally the director sets up the shot, the camera begins to roll, someone yells "action"; Rikio, for a moment, transforms into another being, a hardened young yakuza, but as soon as the shot is finished, he slumps back into his own anxieties and obsessions.

All eyes are on Rikio. And he likes it, mostly. His fans cheer, screaming and yelling to attract his attention--they would kill for a moment alone with him. Finally the director sets up the shot, the camera begins to roll, someone yells "action"; Rikio, for a moment, transforms into another being, a hardened young yakuza, but as soon as the shot is finished, he slumps back into his own anxieties and obsessions. Being a star, constantly performing, being watched and scrutinized as if under a microscope, is often a drag. But so is life. Written shortly after Yukio Mishima himself had acted in the film "Afraid to Die," this novella is a rich and unflinching psychological portrait of a celebrity coming apart at the seams. With exquisite, vivid prose, Star begs the question: is there any escape from how we are seen by others?

Smells like coffee as others have vlogged it should. I wanted raw cold-pressed. That’s description on Amazon. It’s not on jar so we’ll see.

Botana oil for hair growth still waiting for results
6/2/2026 :There’s really no smell it moisturizes your hair. The ingredients are not damaging to my hair or scalp. There’s no greasiness. As far as the hair growth part of it I’m still waiting to see results and if or when I will update, but I would try it I mean, whatever we got to lose, but our hair and that I don’t mean that in a bad way, I’m being serious..
