Michelle Williams was looking serenely beautiful yesterday as she enjoyed a day out in the winter’s light with her cutie daughter Matilda. Little M was channeling her inner dance spirit as she pranced in her little red boots during a sunny, warm day in Brooklyn, New York . No need for mittens or snow pants today…just chance to play in the melting snow!

But Williams will say that she found it nurturing, and healing, to work with Reichardt and company. She found a sense of family that had long eluded her.

“I started off in community theater, and I think something about that stuck with me,” she explains. “There’s this consistency, and some kind of family feeling. I’d always wanted to be part of a troupe, working with the same people. You know, people come in and people come out, but you always get back together for something. There’s a thread.

“Because otherwise, you just make all these little lives on the sets of a film, all across the globe. You get really close to people and then you have to leave. And you never really are able to stay in touch as much as you want to. …

“But this, to me, felt like a way to do that – to keep it within a family.”‘

Lohud.com says, “She divides her time between Brooklyn and a house in the country, hanging with her 3-year-old daughter, reading, being with friends.

“It is exactly what I needed,” she says of the hiatus. “I’d been going on fumes for a while. And I can just notice the change now – sometimes my head just starts to click on again, like I start to get curious about a character or a person. It’s good. But I’m not getting antsy. Not yet.”

Our fabulous photographer Justin Campbell is always at the scene to catch the opening of some of the most fashionable hotspots in New York. Such was the case as Justin attended the opening of “M” Restaurant. M is the brainchild of former MTV Japan and BET International VJ, Mami Shirakawa and Megu’s President, Hiro Nishida, and made it’s debut last Tuesday. The new posh diner took the place of the former Kimono Bar and has been developed as a post-dinner, pre-late night space, with the sweet spot hours ranging from 10:30pm-2pm. The place is set to serve some of the most authentic and creative Japanese Cuisine with top notch Chefs, artists, and designers.

Buzzfoto is a friend of Mami who is best known for her days as a leading VJ on MTV Japan and as the first non-African-American VJ to grace the airwaves on BET International. She has interviewed some of the world’s leading musicians ranging from U2′s Bono to the Beastie Boys and has solidified her status as an industryexpert. Mami is using her creative talents and connections to book some of the most popular DJ’s for the place.
