Yves Saint Laurent Cruise

Yves Saint Laurent Cruise Collection preview to be in stores in October!

Personally, nothing very surprising from Stefano Pilati (Current designer for YSL) this time. But the women’s wear line is not bad! The men’s are rather boring. Here are some previews.

Women’s Pret-a-porter

Lots of a-la bustier/corset outfits. I like!

Men’s Pret-a-porter

Nothing much, it’s the ready-to-wear collection anyway, even the bags are reused, like the Buffalo Muse tote.

Birthday. Grotesque. Juicy

Happy 23rd Birthday Alwyn a.k.a Slutina!

We celebrated his birthday last night with a few of his other friends. It was not bad, despite the fact that it was in Aloha underground. The club is freaking small!

The gang, this picture is hilarious for obvious reasons.

The cake, it’s read ‘Slutina’ yes, there is also Flirtina, Bitchina and Sexina

The birthday boy! Lotsa candles, 23 exactly! Hahaha!

I almost lost my Gucci Dogtags, it fell off and the cleaner swept it away. Thank god I recovered it from the Trash Bin. It was worth digging through! Haha.

Few pictures with Kas & Alex. It’s okay, despite the lack of hunks, there’s always another try! Maybe at Martketplace or Frangipanni! Hooo!

The game of passing around the ice got Alwyn pretty hyped too haha, too many kisses.

So there, the night ended well.

I bought Cotton a bone from Juicy Couture, cause she was sulking when I got back from Singapore.

And then I realized it was too heavy for her. That bloody bone stink too, I had to keep washing it over and over!

She was still very happy with the gift though. Like the owner, easily bribed.

———————————————————————-

I think by now, most of you know, I’m not that kinda person who actually complains or whines on my blog. You see nothing except clothes, fashion, art and my lame life. Pretty much, no substance at all haha.

So here, I’m gonna complain, or maybe actually, just making a statement.

It’s one thing if people choose not to be so inclined to art, it’s another if one actually insults art and then does the opposite. AM I making any sense? Take this for example.

I ask someone if he could be a model for some photography or sculpture model maybe. The theme is something artistic, nudity. Artistic nudity. I think to most of you, artistic nudity is hard to accept. Yes, majority does not get the whole idea of body language, body signs, or body communication. Sometimes Artistic nudity is about expressing emotions and soul, or to define a concept or feeling. It’s actually an essence of feeling striped of all worries or burdens. The list goes on, it’s very subjective, after all, it’s ART.

Okay, so a simple NO would be fine if you don’t agree in helping out. But then that person goes on and on insulting art and all saying it’s crazy yada yada.

Hey, Mr. I clearly believe I DID NOT ASK FOR YOUR OPINION on art. So please just shut up, it’s okay to be dumb, don’t try to act smart.

But that’s not all actually. That was rather subtle and it didn’t take much effect on me cause he doesn’t make any impression to me and he’s a fraud.

Then I found out, he himself, posts nude pictures of possibly him (yuck and yuck) or other people, in very suggestive manners. Yes he posts them in public. Now after all he said, and what he’s doing, If I was as dumb as he is, I’d believe he is schizophrenic! Which could be true.

So in conclusion, big hypocrite, would rather be a porn star with TJ Cummings then working for art with Andy Warhol.

Also, he writes rather dramatic and pathetic stories of his love life (which I seem to have recall some of them from Korean soap opera scripts) and boasts quite a lot about who and who likes him, delusional.

This is not the first time I encounter this, In fact quite a few people I know criticize art blatantly, whether it’s artistic nudity or manga or poorly drawn art.

I figured it’s time I let it out of my chest.

Breathe beauty in, ugly out.

By the way, I found this smashing Light Yagami Cosplayer which looks heck better than the actor in Death Note haha.

His name is Hako?

In Hokkien/Cantonese either one, Ha ko means, prawn brains, some black substance you add into Asam Laksa hahahaha!

Dumbfounded

To all of you who lives in Malaysia. I’m sure you know our country is a pretty extremely conservative country where ‘hellboy’ gets censorship and is changed to ‘Homosapien’, where Power Rangers can’t say Morphing cause it sounds like Morphines, where SEX is the forbidden word that when you even breathe about it the CIAs would lunge from the skies and shoot horse tranquilizers at you.

Ah yes, and I thought that “NO fishing behind a Giraffe” rule was weird enough.

Despite all the yapping and preaching of these by the government or people of Malaysia. There are still some known FACTS that are pretty much inevitable.

Yes, people of Malaysia, WE are ranked at number 7 (Which also happens to be my favorite number) by AskMen.com as the 7th most HORNIEST country.

God knows whether I should laugh or feel ashamed.

But I choose to laugh, because, really, it’s amusing.

I do agree with the results, in fact I personally think Malaysia should be in the top 3! With all the rape cases that is happening, and underground bars (Which my friends tells me of course) and millions of sex tape scandals, some from even people I know!

I never knew Poppy was a pick up place though. I hardly see much flirting there.

But those shabby places in rundown areas like maybe Lumut, Ipoh or Terengganu. There’s PLENTY.

Anyway here are the other results.

TOP 10 HORNIEST COUNTRIES :

1. Greece
2. Brazil
3. Russia
4. China
5. Poland
6. Italy
7. MALAYSIA
8. Spain
9. Switzerland
10. Mexico

It’s no surprise Greece scored number 1 though. I’ve always thought people there walked around the streets wearing nothing but dental floss as a thong.

In conclusion, we live in a hypocrite country, in fact, everyone’s a hypocrite.

Defection

Everytime I try to load wordpress on my computer it’s like goin’ through a 8 hour long motivational talk by a 43 year old man who thinks he can be the next president of Tibet.

Damn Maxis!

Anyway this is gonna be a rather image heavy post, so don’t say I didn’t warn ya.

I had a 3 days in a row shopping Marathon with 3 different people. From Sunday to Tuesday. Sadly I only spent on the first day of shopping, I was pretty broke the next two days haha. If only I had a card with no limits, I think my dad’s mid-life crisis period will be solely caused by me.

So anyway, first i went shopping with Kian

We headed off to Pavilion, It was a good time, though there weren’t much sales around but we did chat alot from random stuff to fashion and fashion etc etc.

I took the route which led to YSL on purpose to check out whether or not it’s open, but to my avail, it’s not. There was something interesting there though, a live model.

She was really showing that Moet Chandon a good time. Cool concept though.

I bought quite a lot of outfits from Club Monaco and finally got that stupid draped cardigan from Armani X. During the fitting of a coat I wanted from Club Monaco, I had to alter the whole outfit haha. They had to remove 5 inches from the back itself. That’s alot!

Then we had tea at this place which I thought was a Japanese cafe but turned out to be some Chinese cafe…

And then dinner at MyThai in Starhill where I made Kian finish everything that came on the table. Hoho. Thank god someone could eat. Anyway, it was a great day, thanks Kian! I’m still kinda lazy to lug my Mac all the way to the service center heh…

Day 2 shopping. I was out with Wei Wei

Back at Pavilion again, this woman can really go all out on shopping. She bought at least one item from every shop we entered. And I thought I was bad enough ohoho…

Then, back to that cafe I thought it was a Jap cafe for dinner again. & I wondered why I had Deja Vu.

The view at night from that cafe is magnificent!

So as Wei Wei pondered on buying Aldo Shoes or Dior’s Bracelet or a Louis Vuitton Kate bag, I was the tiny devil who kept whispering to her to just get all 3. I mean, if it were me, I’d just buy all 3, then I won’t have any decisions to make!

And she fell for life’s impulse

Day 3 shopping, Benson

We headed for KLCC first, he grabbed a few Emporio’s and then Pavilion again. I swear, almost every store attendants recognizes me by now.

Since it was Benson’s first shopping spree in 4 months, he was going all out too. and I mean, really, ALL OUT.

He bought Zara, Club Monaco, Calvin Klein, DKNY, Salvatore, Fendi, Hermes, Ted Baker and more I can’t really remember. All I could recall is the day ended when the tip of his credit card started to bleed.

and Today, some idiotic driver in a cheap Wajar who thinks Federal Highway is Mt Akina rammed into Benson’s baby. Poor him, his CLK was badly scratched and the back bumper almost fell off. Now that’s gonna cost the guy thousands hoho! Plus it happened on the day my final exams were, so i was pretty pissed but I stayed in the car cause it was bloody hot out there.

Alright! Next, the following pictures are some past celebrations I did not manage to put up!

Kas’s Birthday!

We celebrated at 7atenine and it was kinda funny cause I thought she was turning 26 and I stressed on the fact that she was 26 to the cake store staffs. She turned 25. Crap.

She can drink despite her innocent appearance. She can really drink. I’m scared.

Alwyn a.k.a Slutina was having a great time too! He’s Alex’s toyboy of the night!

Awww… damn sweet.

This is not Ichi the Killer. This is Vogue, okay.

Jackal’s Birthday!

All I could remember was everyone was rushing during the pre-birthday day.

We decided to bring the Monkey to where he truly belongs and celebrate there! The Jungle!

I’m serious.

Hungry Mongolians.

A very happy rabbit with her marshmallow she kept bragging about 3 days in a row.

The prim and proper Japanese man who went through a dramatic convergence through our welcoming influences.

A random marshmallow flew to Damien’s hands from no where. It’s a mystery till this very day.

The birthday boy.

Then there was a scene where a few of us thought there was gonna be a food massacre and took cover in a tiny hut. Unbeknowst that no one was starting a food fight nor gave any damn about them.

The pathetic hut they took refuge in. Here, you can see 2 other people taunting them out.

Then we had the good ol’ traditional game of Truth & Dare which resulted into cruel attempts and stunts, as time went by, it became Lie & Dare.

The continuous word game which had all of our legs labeled with marker pen.

That’s not a penis. Ann really sucks in drawing, I would’ve done better.

Before the night ended, the security men shoved us all out cause we were starting to make a mess again. The end of birthdays.

You know, I have a lot to say at times but when I come in front of the computer, I suffer from amnesia.

Chanel Coco Phone

Isn’t it beautiful!!?

They say it’s just a concept Designed by Fred de Garilhe. So does anyone have any idea if this phone would really be created and released!? Please let me know!

Le Modele

Recently I read this magazine in Malaysia that promotes local models.

okay cool, at least someone’s doing something to encourage the modeling industry in Malaysia.

But to the citizen’s horror, it’s not like what it seems.

The following will be rather harsh words, but I need to get it out of my systems plus I live in a democratic country.

When I browsed through the magazine…

- There were a lot of mistakes in their vocabularies, nouns and grammars. Not to mention their English sucked big time. Eyesore 1

- The layout looked like something a newbie who just learned Photoshop or Illustrator would produce. Eyesore 2

- The models, some looked like pigs, some looked like someone I can easily pick up from Ah Lor Street (A local average scene in Malaysia) some look like they are either suffering from extreme delusional syndromes. Eyesore 3

- The fashion sense and outfits in the magazine is really repulsive. Eyesore 4

- And that magazine costs a freaking 12 bucks when I can get a second hand Vogue at a cheaper price which would be WORTH my buy 10x more though it’s last season’s news. Eyesore 5

Jesus Christ! What the hell is the editor + the team + the models thinking!?

In fact, every single models that were promoted/produced/appeared in that magazine had to pay 500 bucks to get in. YES. They had to actually pay the boss of that magazine money to promote them.

Okay, if you looked like Claudia Schiffer or Linda Evangelista, I understand, totally, 500 bucks to promote yourself is well, toooo cheap. But if you looked like my Uncle’s toes I think 500 is such a rip off and you’re making a bloody fool out of yourself! Pretty much shows how desperate you are. No offense, but I am trying to be nice here, but this magazine actually DEGRADES the Malaysian Models’ standards!

Some quotes from the ‘promoted’ models in the magazine

“No one have the rights to tell you, you can’t be a model. Anyone can be a model!”

…

huh?

I’m sorry to tell you this my boy, but Modeling is a VERY bias industry. You either HAVE IT or you DON’T.

I understand if you people are trying to make a living. But you just threw 500 bucks to promote yourself which would end up into nothing but a waste of cash cause I doubt anyone would call you up unless for minor events which only gets you 200 bucks a show and each show only comes like once in 4 months…

I’d say take that 500 bucks and invest on something which could gain you 5x the profit. Modeling is a job which you could barely survive in Malaysia, cause the pay is really really low, even for the top ones here. Wake up six.

And I think writing about your past on how ugly, fat, unpopular you are and how your girl or boy dumped you cause you look like crap is a really degrading thing to yourself. Plus it’s like begging for other’s sympathy. Then saying this magazine helped you and all blablabla, this is not freaking Oprah.

I have more to say but I’m just gonna stop here lol.

You guys can say I’m mean or I do not have the capacity to write this, but man, I’m just quoting most of this from other people who are laughing hysterically at this magazine. One thing though, the owner of this magazine is SMART.

So,

This is how a Model should be!

Being able to be so Dolce & Gabbanna in any situation without even trying.

So fierce right?

Looking good in ANY sort of outfits, bringing out the outfit.

“If you’re cheap, nothing helps” -Karl Lagerfeld

That’s all for now! See ya

Sign

Girls, you know it’s the final warning when your jeans barely makes the cut to the finish line

Nip Tuck is a seriously disturbing and traumatic drama.

Not for the weak spirits like me alike.

Grave +

I always thought I’ve been through stress enough to understand that, that feels close to women in labor.

I was so wrong.

The past weeks was a total stress wrecking week. I had to :-

- Complete 2 fashion merchandising assignments in just 2 weeks

- Complete Textile’s assignment

- Complete History of Fashion research and final assignments

- Complete 4 drawings for cover works.

- Complete 3 drawings for S.T.E.A.L

- Run errands like mailing, collecting outfits etc etc

- Complete Commissioner’s comission

- Had to attend 3 birthdays

- Create a catalogue which god I have no idea how to

I realized, to complete all of the above, especially my assignments, I need to be really organized. Not just regular organized. Monica’s organized.

It’s impossible, I am a very spontaneous worker, and having to be organized just makes me a total mess and my panic level rises to a whole new degree. Apart from that i was being a fussy bitch to William the print shop owner.

I was also a fussy bitch to Benson, for making him do most of my assignments I can’t complete.

It was not last minute work okay people! If you were here, and saw what I had to do, it’s bloody a lot, and requires details of totally unnecessary informations, and the time frame of datelines were just one week apart! Motherf*(@^$%!!

So anyway I did complete my work haha. Thank god.

My team franchised Yves Saint Laurent!

So many things went wrong during the process sigh. But we managed to pull it through.

My Yves Saint Laurent bag I ordered arrived!

It’s the Downtown tote.

…and I hate it.

It’s not as structured as I saw it on their website, it’s kinda flimsy, and it’s too big for my body frame! Plus, it looks like a women’s bag in person. I swore I ordered this from the men’s section…

I think i might just sell this off and get me my Muse. But the chocolate brown color is sold out! (´；ω；`)

And a little WIP on my ‘Local God’ compilation for Singapore Cosfest.

I’m still so dead tired and I’m suppose to finish more works.

Sigh…

Plus Cotton sprained her ankle…

Merci, Au Revoir

Thank you for 50 000 hits!

I think it’s been 5 months since my blog is up!!

The image is illustrated by me of course *Note to all new readers*

Thanks again!

But hitting 50 000 hits did not make me happy at all. I drew that picture for a special reason, as of today, Legendary, and my all time favourite designer, Yves Saint Laurent passed away.

Pierre Berge, Saint Laurent’s business partner for four decades, said he had died at his Paris home following a long illness

He is considered the last of the legendary legacies to pass on since Coco Chanel and Christian Dior. The best of the best are slowly fading, they were the ones who revolutionized fashion around the globe. Though Saint Laurent resigned from the eyes of fashion at 65, he was still an inspiration to me and will always be.

Rest in Peace Yves Henri Donat Dave Mathieu-Saint-Laurent

You’ll always be an inspiration.

So close, yet So far

It’s not very far now!

Just pull it through Jonathan. You can do this!

Hermes Garden Tote

Yves Saint Laurent Muse Tote

*Curse that Prada sales*

FIGHTO!
