One of Japan's most chilling unsolved cases wasn't a murder… it was a psychological war. This week, we dive into the unbelievable true story of The Monster With 21 Faces, a taunting villain group that kidnapped a CEO, poisoned candy, humiliated police, and held an entire country hostage without ever showing their faces.No brutality. No gore. Just pure fear, strategy, and a criminal mastermind that seemed to vanish into thin air.In this immersive cinematic breakdown, Blacklabel leads Geisha and Azzilee through every twist: the CEO kidnapping, the escape nobody saw coming, the poisoned Morinaga candy, the fox-eyed suspect, the mocking letters, and the heartbreaking fallout that still haunts Japan today.This is a case where the villain didn't need violence to be terrifying, just intelligence, audacity, and a chilling ability to disappear.

You're listening to Burnt Toast! I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. You're listening to Burnt Toast. I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. Today, my conversation is with Kaila Yu. Kaila is an author based in Los Angeles. Her debut memoir, Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty, came out earlier this fall to a rave review in The New York Times. She's also a luxury travel and culture writer with bylines in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The LA Times, Condé Nast Traveler and many more. Kaila's memoir grapples with her experience growing up Asian and female in a world that has so many stereotypes and expectations about both those things. We talk about the pressure to perform so many different kinds of specific beauty labor, the experience of being objectified sexually —and we really get into how we all navigate the dual reality of hating beauty standards and often feeling safer and happier complying with them. I learned so much from this book, and this conversation with Kaila.

Jackie and Danielle from No More Late Fees sit down with author, musician, and cultural commentator Kaila Yu to dive into her powerful memoir Fetishize—a candid look at how media, race, and womanhood intertwined in the late '90s and early 2000s.In this episode, the trio gets nostalgic (and a little spicy) as they unpack: • How Memoirs of a Geisha and the early 2000s beauty ideals shaped an entire generation's self-image • Gwen Stefani's Harajuku era and the blurred line between homage and appropriation • Kaila's behind-the-scenes experience in Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift and the hidden history of Asian representation in Hollywood • The toxic glamour of Y2K pop culture and the complicated love story between feminism and fame • Nostalgic shoutouts to Charlie's Angels, Britney Spears, and the best (and worst) fashion trends we still secretly loveIt's a funny, insightful, and refreshingly honest conversation that celebrates nostalgia while challenging the narratives that defined it.If you love pop culture deep dives, feminist commentary, and a trip down memory lane with plenty of laughs along the way, hit that subscribe button, leave us a review, and share your favorite moment from the episode!Keywords: Kaila Yu, No More Late Fees podcast, Y2K nostalgia, 2000s pop culture, Asian representation, Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift, Memoirs of a Geisha, Gwen Stefani Harajuku Girls, feminist podcast, celebrity memoirs, Britney Spears era, women in media—No More Late Fees ⁠https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com⁠909-601-NMLF (6653)—Follow Us on Social:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nomorelatefees TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@nomorelatefees Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/nomorelatefeesYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@nomorelatefees Twitterhttps://x.com/NoMoreLateFees —CONQUERing⁠⁠myconquering.com⁠⁠10% Off Code: JACKIE10—Kaila YuInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/kailayu/Websitehttps://kailayu.com/Order Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beautyhttps://amzn.to/4oBJ81a

This romantic comedy takes us on a whirlwind journey through love, politics, and the complexities of identity as we follow the unexpected romance between Alex Claremont-Diaz, the First Son of the United States, and Prince Henry of Wales.My guest this week is Katharine Herndon, who lives in Richmond, Virginia, with her husband, two boys, and a hound dog named Lola. She used to teach (English, of course), but the homework got to her, so she decided to take up nonprofit work instead (insert laughter). Currently the Executive Director of James River Writers, she is an enthusiastic advocate for the RVA literary community and can be found at nearly all JRW events. In her free time she kills plants, burns things more than she cooks, knits very sporadically, and is still looking for some form of tolerable exercise.

Dr Katharine Milano is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of PTSD and memory recall. To her surprise, only a few months ago in mid-2025, she began recalling her own traumatic memories of being abducted by extraterrestrials in 1975, when only 3 years old, and being trained to develop her psychic skills and to pilot spacecraft. She also recalls being traumatized by human personnel, which included involuntarily participating in a Satanic Ritual Abuse ceremony where a young boy was sacrificed in summoning a Draco Reptilian for whom she was intended to be the ritual sacrifice. The Draco, however, said she was unsuitable and admonished those in charge of the ceremony for their mistake.After her MK-Ultra-like trauma-based mind control had turned her into a submissive sex worker she began her first secret space program from 1983 to 2023. In 1992, at age 17, she was began serving with the Dark Fleet, where she became a highly trained Geisha with a distinct black uniform with patches, who served German officers who used her for sexual favors, including spying on rival trade negotiation delegates visiting Aries Prime on Mars.Dr. Milano describes how she later met a tall blue Pleiadian representative of the Ashtar Command who secretly recruited her to become a double agent. She learned that this Pleiadian, Lyrahaan, came from the Maia star system and was her husband in a previous life when they both volunteered to join the Galactic Envoy program. Dr. Milano says that Lyrahaan currently serves with the Galactic Federation of Worlds and is watching over and protecting her.Dr. Katharine Milano's website is: https://metaphysicalpsychology.net/

This week we talk about fame—how it shapes perception in both pop culture and coffee. From the awkwardness of Will Smith trying to rap again to Hacienda Esmeralda's Geisha selling for record prices at Best of Panama, we dig into how notoriety creates visibility, drives value, and raises the ceiling for everyone. Fame isn't always comfortable, but it opens doors. Whether it's an actor or a coffee producer, once you're known, you change the market around you. Instead of resenting that spotlight, the challenge is to use it as inspiration—to shine light on others and expand what gets celebrated.

Fetishized is a memoir-in-essays by Kaila Yu--a former pin-up model and lead singer of the all-Asian American female rock band Nylon Pink. The book delves into her personal journey as she confronts--and unpacks--the complexities of being both the object and agent of fetishization in a media landscape shaped by stereotypes and colonial mindsets. Her memoir interrogates harmful portrayals--from geishas in Memoirs of a Geisha, to the Austin Powers twins in Goldmember, to the character in Full Metal Jacket, and even pin-up iconography figures like Sung-Hi Lee. These archetypes--and the lack of diverse Asian representation--led Yu to internalize the painful belief that sexualizing herself was her only path to perceived value or desirability. Ultimately, Fetishized is a path toward self-reclamation. It's an unflinching look at the violence of objectification, balanced with deep empathy for the fractured relationships we might have with beauty, desire, and our own bodies.

This week, I got to talk with Kaila Yu about her memoir Fetishization: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty.  We dive into her experience growing up amidst yellow fever, how her self image was affected, and how she learned to love and accept herself.Fetishization: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty SynopsisNo one fetishized Kaila Yu more than she fetishized herself. As a young girl, she dreamt of beauty. But none of the beautiful women on television looked like her. In the late '90s and early 2000s Asian women were often reduced to overtly sexual and submissive caricatures—the geishas of the book-turned-film Memoirs of a Geisha; the lewd twins, Fook Mi and Fook Yu, in Austin Powers in Goldmember; Papillon Soo Soo's sex worker character in the cult Vietnam War movie Full Metal Jacket; and pin-up goddess Sung-Hi Lee. Meanwhile, the "girls next door" were always white. Within that narrow framework, Kaila internalized a painful conclusion: The only way someone who looked like her could have value or be considered beautiful and desirable was to sexualize herself.Blending vulnerable stories from Yu's life with incisive cultural critique and history, Fetishized is a memoir-in-essays exploring feminism, beauty, yellow fever, and the roles pop culture and colonialism played in shaping pervasive and destructive stereotypes about Asian women and their bodies. Yu reflects on the women in media who influenced her, the legacy of U.S. occupation in shaping Western perceptions of Asian women, her own experiences in the pinup and import modeling industry, auditioning for TV and film roles that perpetuated dehumanizing stereotypes, and touring the world with her band in revealing outfits. She recounts altering her body to conform to Western beauty standards, allowing men to treat her like a sex object, and the emotional toll and trauma of losing her sense of self in the pursuit of the image she thought the world wanted.  Get Bookwild MerchCheck Out My Stories Are My Religion SubstackCheck Out Author Social Media PackagesCheck out the Bookwild Community on PatreonCheck out the Imposter Hour Podcast with Liz and GregFollow @imbookwild on InstagramOther Co-hosts On Instagram:Gare Billings @gareindeedreadsSteph Lauer @books.in.badgerlandHalley Sutton @halleysutton25Brian Watson @readingwithbrian
