As all the goths weep, that NYX discontinued their liquid suade range of lipsticks I chatter on about the fact there's going to be a Like a Dragon: Yakuza live action series! I mean, as we have learned from the NYX situation, we should always be prepared for disappointment, but will be pleasently suprised if it's any good. I also chat about birthday treats, driving anxiety, the sneaky new anime drops, including some that are hitting our screens this summer!
