Singapore Fashion Festival

Man, i havent updated this blog in forever. DRASTIC APOLOGIES. i've been busy at work and it's been one hell of a ride. i'm on my internship now and i'm currently attached to MTV. it's a great gig, that's for sure. i get to meet so many different people, i get to hang out with rock stars and i get to finally do something that i love, and that is music. i love meeting so many different people and i love that everyday about it is different than the one before. and it makes life worth living again. plus, i have celebrities as friends now, totally pushed my social status up a notch, HAHA. but, i digress.

part of a celebrity entourage, i get free passes to the coolest events of the year. and i got to attend the Singapore Fashion Festival 2008. Front row seat, VIP passes, what's not to love? I attended the Redken hair show, which was pretty awesome, but truly, the defining show, would have to be the closing show, by Calvin Klein. Everybody who's anybody turns up for this last show, dressed up to the nines, looking all chic and elegant. Goes with the set of Calvin Klein. A completely white layout, and a sloping runway, it has the name Calvin klein vomitted all over it. And the clothes were minimalist, once again, true to the name. But there were playful punches of colour here and there. turquoise, fuschia, neon pink, peach, mixed with the basics. Their spring/summer collection saw much of slouchy cuts, baggy pants, and blouses that hung loosely off the skinny frames of the female models versus fitted pants and shirts on the males. It was a good mix of casual and formal. buttoned down shirts with cut-offs, ankle high sandals with fitted jackets. creative in the trendiest manner possible.

And Emma Pei is THE model to look out for.She is gorgeous in person and I never thought I would say this about my asian self, but damn right i'm proud to be one thanks to her! (honestly i only whipped out my camera to take pictures of just her alone) she's got flawless skin, and truly, i want her face. i want her everything for that matter! damnit. And this other Asian model was GORGEOUS. wtf, why can't i look like that. grrr.
i don't really know what her name is. i think it's hyoni kang, but i could be wrong. whatever it is, i thought the Asian models were alot better than the caucasian ones. show some asian love y'all! the slit eyes thing really works for me at times. i just hate my fucking flat nose. but i'll leave my complains for another day. for now, i'm content with just admiring their faces. (:

twas a good night.

of course we finished it with a night of shesha, pita bread, hummus and a whole load of laughs and gossips. it was a wonderful day. life is good again! i'm back bitches.

'Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.'- Kevyn Aucoin.

Kevyn Aucoin, make up legend and man responsible for the fame of Cindy Crawford upon doing her first Vogue cover. I watched an episode of Sex and The City recently, "The Real Me", and there he was, tall, sophisticated and telling carrie bradshaw he loved her work while doing her make up for the fashion show. It grew into an obsession. I read up about him night after night and all I can say is that this man, truly, is an amazing talent. I love his spirit when it came to pursuing dreams, his energy when it came to make-up, his love for people and his belief that beauty came from the inside. It is unfortunate that the world should lose yet another beautiful human being, someone who had so much life and spirit. From a small town boy, to a broke struggling artist in New York, and then subsequently to land a big break that opened so many doors for him, this man is now my greatest inspiration. He passed, May 7th, 2002.

'Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.'- Kevyn Aucoin

I couldnt have said it better myself. That, is what vogue-this-bitch is about. To enjoy every imperfection and embrace them. I have lived long enough to know that if I continuouslly hate my body, my face, my everything, life then, would be nothing but an endless struggle of making something that is already imperfect, uglier. I want to love myself, you guys should too. Thanks Kevyn, for those wonderful words. He deserves a standing ovation, any day.

Holiday Escape

Lusting over this Marc by Marc Jacobs Night Blossom Silk Dress ($348.00 at eluxury.com)

It's the perfect dress to take on holiday and escape the dreary winter weather... *sigh*

the land of the rising sun

The land where the girls are pretty and the boys are incredibly cute. Not forgetting fresh sashimi and the place of which sushi originated from. The city that which fashion is an everyday affair, Japan. Be it in the hearts of Harijuku, or Shibuya, it is without a doubt that everyone there is original and unique in their own style. I would love to visit that city someday, to experience its pulsating culture, and at some point in time, embrace my asian culture to its gloriest. I've got slit eyes, that's already half the battle won when it comes to fitting in (: The girls there have got so much spunk, it's amazing. They throw on some tattered denim shorts, a leather jacket, some chunky army boots, lots of attitude and style to top it off, and off they go, looking incredible as ever. It's a wonder how anyone can piece two totally unconventional piece of clothings together and still look amazing, is a wonder. and damn, you gotta love a city that has its men looking like they've just walked out of a catalogue or a runway show. mmm yum. come on now men of singapore, buck up!
