TOKYO —

Actress and TV personality Eiko Koike, 28, on Wednesday appeared at a promotional event held at Marunouchi Building in Tokyo for the cotton industry in collaboration with America’s Cotton Council International (CCI) and cotton towel makers in Osaka. Koike is a 2008 CCI Cotton Award winner.

Koike, who wore a cotton bathrobe with a monkey-shaped appliqué that she designed, said, “This robe is light but very warm. I can wear this at home to relax.” The bathrobe will be auctioned on Yahoo!Japan Auction through Feb 11 for charity. The money raised through the auction will be donated to UNICEF, according to the organizers.

    "Asked if there was anyone she'd want to share her bathrobe with, she replied that it is only the robe that will keep her warm on Valentines Day".

    Come on JT, these questions need to be asked!

    I like her monkey design. Maybe I can show her mine one day. Being an artist, I have that ability.

    Don't be -ist-ist!

    Not entirely impressed with the monkey design - I'm sure one could devise something more interesting. Or did she actually have to draw it herself? In which case, she's probably done a damn sight better than I could have (I have the artistic ability of a blancmange....)
