Don’t Judge My Hair

Don’t Judge My Hair

Ever had a feeling you’re suffering from a bad hair day? I have certainly had, more than once. The biggest embarrassement would have been when I thought I had a gorgeous perm but was totally mocked by the president director and the department head of hair God company, L’Oreal (read here and here). This website, [...]

I'm Bringing My Sexy Heels Back

The first time I landed in Scotland I realised that I had no closed-toes shoes at all, except several pair of boots. All my shoes had at least 5 cm heels or higher, and all were open toes models, a.k.a sandals, because I come from a tropical country which doesn’t require me to protect my [...]

New Scents for Men

New Scents for Men

Forget limey, orangey, and other fruity scents. Forget tobacco. Forget musk. Men must go back to their nature, and in the modern world, Homer Simpson and Joe the plumber are the hero. Burger King, an American fast food chain, has made a huge jump by selling men’s fragrance with the scent of meat. clipped from [...]

Is Burberry Throwing Up on You?

Is Burberry Throwing Up on You?

I let the pictures speak for themselves.

Foot Notes

Head note (what do you call a note before footnote?): this post is about, what else, feet. And shoes. Again. Prepare to be bored to death. Last weekend was a busy one. Woke up really early – 4.30 AM to be exact – last Friday to get ready, mostly to sit down and pull myself [...]

Thinking About Buying Burberry?

I have been thinking hard to write something that is mentally, morally, or spiritually challenged, but world peace articles wouldn’t attract visitors as much as boobs threads (and those who know me know that I’m an attention and traffic seeker), and as an architect-slash-project manager I don’t think I am capable to adopt a patronizing [...]

Yearbook Yourself.com : See How You Look Like in The Past

See the picture on the left? That’s how I looked like in 1964. I stumbled upon this website and immediately uploaded my picture to see how I look like in the past. The website provides classic hairdos, vintage outfits, even old songs from the 50′s to 2000. It also brilliantly allows us to adjust our [...]

Stick To Your Script

Stick To Your Script

Maybe Sharon Stone thinks she could be another Susan Sarandon. Maybe she thinks she is intelligent enough to write her own script. Maybe she just doesn’t realize how powerful China and its market is. clipped from film.guardian.co.uk Sharon Stone is facing a ban on the showing of her films in China after suggesting the recent [...]

Summer Theme

An ex-colleague is coming to pursue his master’s degree here, and was quite gutted when I told him to prepare some light layers, even though today is so-called summer. Summer here is not something like in tropical countries or in Australia, where we can walk around with shorts, tank tops, and open-toe sandals, and get [...]

The Fake Trade

The Fake Trade, a documentary by Channel 4, written and directed by Nick Hornby (yes, the author of Fever Pitch, About a Boy, and High Fidelity), was aired on Monday night, 3 March 2008. It took us to see the inside of the counterfeit industry. The documentary opened with BASCAP arranging the biggest anti-counterfeit conference, [...]
