Japan’s First Lady Miyuki Hatoyama was named one of nine “Best Jeans-ist 2009″ awardees in yet another made-for-TV-news awards show.
“Let me be clear: I’m surprised and humbled by this award,” said Miyuki Hatoyama, “To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who’ve been honored by this prize, including has-beens like Koda Kumi; resurrected-from-the-dead-and-no-longer-teen-pop-idols, SPEED; and famous-because-he’s-the-grandson-of-a-former-prime-minister, Daigo.”
