This glittery netbook belongs to Momoka Eri. If you are wondering who Momoka Eri is…..she is a Japanese artistic model who runs a business of adorning mobile phones, PSPs and so on..

The notebook has been festooned with a lot of Swarovski crystals and beads. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, it is limited to those who reside in Japan only. Via Akihabara
