Contrastingly Controversial.

Whut derr fakq iz vis!
Seriously,

Let's start with,

The bad catch of the day:

This lucky Hollywood duck has landed a collaboration with THE Max Azria behind all those bondage dresses and she doesn't have a background in fashion whatsoever but the power of her name for branding, marketing and of course, getting all it takes to raise that profit margin of Walmart, ingratiating into the tween market, the start of looking into the mirrors much more in depth and wanting to dress like their idol stars.

Sure it does, as I checked it out online, I've clicked on a couple T's and it's all sold out. Super thrifty price all under $20 however designs are for the Juniors section (which means sadly I, as a anti-Cyrus however since the price is such a bargain and a slave for absolute good stuff for a damn price AND of course it's not only Cyrus, it's Azria [but does he really do anything? Only as a brand awareness? Designs are more like from the fashion CAD and just adding patterns, really]!)

Rockbottom cheapo liquid leggings that I love, of course that Union Jack tee slashing the Topshop price for 60-70% of the original price and the slim body I want (hate to admit).

“I love creating looks that are all about personal expression and individuality,” Cyrus says. “Collaborating with Max Azria has been an amazing experience and I’m really excited about launching this line with Walmart. There’s even more to come!”
-Miley Cyrus

All I can say is, nyyyeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh. Here I am one of the million gazillion so-called fashion students and there she is having NOTHING as her background and just making people laugh and since she's a starlet obviously designers would dress them for free but would have to state their name, and I'm JEALOUS. ENVIOUS. GRUDGINGLY. Resentfully bitter against her. Hollywood is surely the best little stepping stone anyone can do.

I HOPE TO GET PAST INTO THE HALLYUWOOD INSTEAD THEN MAKE MYSELF KNOWN THERE AND THEN THAT'S 50% OF MY LIFE'S GOAL. :)

The other 50%? Well, all those Kim's and Lee's and Choi's be forewarned. I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha...

Continuing on, controversially is overated and hyperbolic. It's just a comparison but yes that Cyrus-Azria is surely controversial and makes me regurgitate for the 50% part of the collaboration... in which I wish I was in that position. It's so easy without going to the dreadfully design (killer) school, getting the degree for the standard 3-year labor pains work in the sewing room or wherever we have classes then hard to merge into the industry growing like... (mushrooms/fungus are just icky) wild flowers.


On the flip side, the 'shocked' phrase of WDF is not always negative, there's always the sunny side up instead of the overly cooked turned black right...

Good good stuff!

A catch from The Sartolialist and Anna Piagi and fashion blogger Moohoop in a comparison...

The snapshot captured by The Sartolialist immediately put one in mind of another visual image I've seen, which is Brooke Kao of moohoop. The imminent pattern from both are the polka dots; I recall Brooke has an outfit post wearing all sorts of patterns but since it's dreadully long earlier I couldn't find it and gave up after 40 posts back; the latest BW pattern dressing post however also matches. :)

It's fascinating how Anna as a lady dresses ever so stylish. Nothing beats caucasian ladies, I guess. I've never seen except for petite Japanese obaa-san's to dress up like this. One factor which is the weather would also be the one why they would have to layer up, but since she's got the genes, it's not a surprise. Comparing to the Y-Gen which surprisingly is not too different (right?) with just a zest of youthness and the bigger dare and since we're young we would not dress too elegantly (then I would just look much older. Grrr. I just don't like the numbers to add, anxiety, anxiety).

Then from the Teen Vogue Girl/Guy of the Week roll, I found this Singaporean girl named Yi Lin and clicked on her blog and found her talents and also passion in drawing, in which she posts her artworks in another blog address here entitled "Disturbing Muse" which I find it a genius, attention grabbing kind of title. Scrolling through her drawings, it reminded me of my old assignments back in Foundation where we had to draw these kinds of styles and poses were timed.

*her take on a Chanel ad, I like the signature tweed details bringing out the primary point of Chanel*

*this familiar fondy thing! drawing figues in color pencils for what, 3, 5, 10 seconds to a minute up?*

An addition to more illustrations, I again found and exclaimed at heart that there's now numerous countless other indie unknown designers out there and it's not fair - I want their versatile fingers for drawing! XD

Taken from Heidi's Illustration, here.


And ridiculously love love love this (sadly) image, if I do get it on paper then I would simply love the paper, that's the ridiculous part, from an illustrator found thru Tavi's new display picture... here for more!

OHDEARLORD blogging does take time and I still haven't done the translation for Teen Minute Magazine on Lacroix's exhibition since I'm not in the mood somehow then the so-called goal to finish a novel by my birthday or printed and it's impossibly will never happen at this date.

And that phrase comes from my high school teacher Mr. Peter Lord and we would say Oh dear lord... Not in the Roman Catholic way.

Pattern #1.

From Pixie Market under the label 'Phamous', here.
Long vest with color blocked double notch collar, two button front and pockets with white piping. Back has elastic overlap piece and back darts. Fully lined with contrasting teal color. 35" long measure from shoulders.

Having their final sale but still out of budget for me, was thinking of giving it to the dressmaker. Just plain nice with the detail behind that looks like a hip-length vest and a mini-skirt however not.

Ramyun.

Since last Friday, without a trace of an ion nor a negative cell warning from my body, I had severe cough, so agonizing that I thought I really had the H1N1 virus (which I've been joking around instead of having H1N1 I had the 2NE1 virus, in which I do still have it, still on 'Fire' and not 'Let's Party' where I thought it's not as hype as 'Fire' sadly. But still love them!) with my sudden body chills; my roommate who claims to sleep withOUT the Air Con and when I do see her in the morning when I wake up and she's still in slumber, with her BLANKET and extra JACKET she wore, it's already 25 degrees plus never below but still, I'm dumbstrucked.

(wow that was one sentence)

It's amazing someone could live in the Singapore heat, or the tropical heat without the AC and still use covers and jacket.

Back to the real sicky story, my life-throbbing cough was just unbearable, because whenever I cough the back of my head would hurt as well, I don't know but it just hurts along with the pressure as well. And it's the cough with those yellow extras that shows I'm sick and then my nose came running some more after the next two days.

Home bound since body feels sluggish and I didn't have much power to move around, the only thing I could rely to keep myself alive was instant food. For instance, this:


Ramyun! (or Ramen but this is a Korean kind)
With no MSG! (An absolute good thing)

The noodles are thick and quishy and really big in portion (however it's like 500+ cal for each packet -,-;;; kowaii)

And in Singapore, I live in Prinsep St. and I would buy all my Korean food needs here in a Korean supermarket... which is less than a 5 minute walk away! How convinient!


It's called Shine Korea, they have all these old almost a decade year olds posters of the old senior rising stars which I recognize. It's located in Burlington Square's first floor. And whatever you buy they'll always give little goodies or big goodies depending on how big or the amount you buy! And the prices are much cheaper than in supermarkets for the same products! So always should go to specialized store reknown for their products. A smart shopper knows that! ;)

But then it was in my stock but my appetite never came, my stomach's enzyme I think has covered it or whatever it was, I didn't feel hungry at all for a few days which made me sweat like crazy for less than a hundred meter walk since there's no sodium intake and all...

Then it reminded me of my old love, Goong manhwa! Here's the page I LOLed like crazy and it is funny and also still at the same topic, noodles :P

Chapter 14 of Goong, here for the chapter!

My noodles aren't exactly 'Shin' brand, since I like these noodles for its chewy and thick type of noodles but well, noodles are noodles!

That's for MY sad grotesque weekend. I forced myself to wake up early today to catch the church and asked one of the fathers to pray for me. Like what all my feelings are after church I would feel better. Then the next day I have to wake up not-too-early for the first day of school! Gya!
