I walked into First Light bookshop in Austin TX and was surprised to be greeted by Lisa's face looking up at me from a stack of magazines on the front display table.

Should I have been surprised? I would never have imagined seeing this when I first listened to "Playing With Fire" all those years ago.

I also reflect ruefully on my confident assertion of some years ago that Blackpink would never make a huge impact in the west. So much for my powers of pop culture prognostication!

@jemmesedi This is a magazine cover for AnOther Autumn/Winter 2025 - Issue 49. The cover features a person wearing a black velvet outfit with a glossy, ruffled black collar and a large red bow at the neck, paired with black lace gloves and red hair accessories. The text "AnOther" appears in large pink letters at the top, with "AUTUMN/WINTER 2025 - ISSUE 49" above it. The name "LISA" is displayed in pink text on the outfit. In the bottom right corner, it reads "LISA IS WEARING LOUIS VUITTON PHOTOGRAPHED BY JOHNNY DUFORT".
