Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama gestures to 2010 U.S. Cherry Blossom Queen Margot Pfefferle, who comes from Wisconsin, while the 2010 Japan Cherry Blossom Queen, Kanako Ono, looks on. The U.S. Cherry Blossom Queens have been visiting the prime minister every year since 1988.

"that white dress totally kills it for me"
You had better never get married, ha ha
"how would you pronounce her last name?"
Fay-fay-lay, of course! Maybe...

haha, that is a very astute observation.
I agree with many comments here, the white dress suxs. It looks like a cheap (or even homemade) wedding dress. And that tiny crown on her head is just very silly, along with the evening gown long gloves. But then again, fashion sense coming from Wisconsin? It is a 'cheezy' attempt.
Not really! Ms. Ono is looking away, grinning but probably trying not to laugh too hard at the 'Pfefferle Phasion Phail' dress.
Does the U.S. Cherry Blossom Queen come all the way to Japan to visit only the PM? I sure hope she gets to do more than that while she is in Tokyo!

Yes, Hatoyama appears to be checking out her upper proportions, but he also looks like he could be a stand in for "The Rain Man".

Her dress looks so plain and boring when compared to the kimono -- and just how would you pronounce her last name? (Pfefferle -- I get flabbergasted just trying to think of the sound)

Nice, but that white dress totally kills it for me. At least a pink dress with a flower motif...

He's looking at her boobs.

"Ooh, give me your gloves!"

Both Cherry Blossom Queens look quite nice.
Question: Isn't it about a month late for this event?
I'm sure Hatoyama enjoyed this event far more than his meetings with Okinawa and Tokunoshima and U.S. officials over Futenma.

I wish the Blossom Queen were wearing a beautiful kimono instead of that non-interesting white dress.
