Ador(n)ation.


I'm sure that if you have a muse, an idol you love to the max, and an obsession to be like him/her, then I guarantee that you'd love to bring them around - the mini version, of course. Either key chains that has their picture, photo in your wallet, a big pin-up covering your folder, and the easiest: desktop wallpaper.

Agree?
I'm sure that at least your desktop wallpaper is showing what you like/person you j'adore.
Now fashionistas and the true follower of mainstream fashion can actually hang the person you adore most

The ones who have made a dream come true to bring our designer muses around is Flash Trash, with a really cute logo,


and also give links to other accessory lines that sells ah-mazing bling blings I'd love to adore it to masself.

Choose your muse from Pops Lagerfeld, supposedly-my-queen-to-look-up-to-because-she's-the-queen-of-fashion-journalism Suzy Menkes, to Alaia and (do oh!) Momma Wintour to most of you.




Quirky Rykiel and plump adorable Elbaz are also part of their "Handcrafted in Paris from Silver plated Tin and enameled this one of a kind adornment will add eye-catching style to every look."
I'm a Catholic, I pray with a rosary, and if I were to use this special Karl-pendant rosary, will it make me a Fashion Catholic goddess or be successful in whatever I pray fashion-related?

"If fashion is your passion, your religon and your life stamp every look with high-fashion edge with the one of a kind Karl Lagerfeld rosary necklace from Défilés from Paris."

Boy, how cool is that!
I want one!

Don't let whut derr fakq! from people get to you - show your love for the love of your life, making them richer, more well-known, and making Flash Trash a rag richer as well!

The price tag does make a bother in the crazy weather Singapore has recently been in, bloody 200 pounds! But I don't mind adorning these 200 pounds - over my neck, that is!


Speaking of which, this Eley-Kishimoto x Uniform experiment has an interesting touch - instead of photos, it's a painting!


Just a lighter note : it's 20.10.2010 today! Or 10.20.2010 on top of the post there. I'm sure there's a lot of weddings or celebrations going on with the world. What are you guys doing? I've passed the day being absolutely a couch potato at home bored, nothing to do, since there's no class and everyone else is busy busy...

All-Access.







... Meeting with the Korean Embassy staff and peers for the opening of the Korean Festival 2010 in Singapore for Korea.com,


•wearing Burberry-pattern plaid scarf, Batik Keris red dress, Nine West flats•
...going to the Anime Manga exhibition, which soon will be on Whiteboard, so check it out!

Cam whores, don't forget to have fun with their 'window speech bubbles'. Check what the bubble 'expresses', then do your best facial expression to reflect the best possible captions! One example shown below:

Fill in the rest. Who knows there's a giveaway to the best creative caption to this? ;)


While Thursday is usually K-Pop dance night with CLAP YO HANDS, Friday's special for Kimchi making!


Yes that first snap looks icky. But the second is much bloodier bettah, just as I loike it. Turns out that it's not hard at all when making kimchi, it's the TIME and the sauce that needs more attention. Well, they already prepared and made a batch of sauce, so all I did was to rub on the pre-salted cabbages. As easy as that!
One remark I'll always remember: "Swipe all the sauce with the leftover leaf, with the cabbage, your hands in the plastic. Swipe it off with this little leaf I give extra to you. Make sure bowl is clean, no sauce left, don't waste"

There's something with about kimchi making with the garlic chilli sauce. Hmmmm.  
and the highlight,


JYJ MEDIA COVERAGE & SHOWCASE IN SINGAPORE.






As Micky says, "Always keep the faith"


*NOTE: "This week in pictures" image is absolutely apt for these posts I'll be doing now as I don't have time to do full-length rants in a while till then! The image is courtesy from Nubby Twiglet, a long lost love which I re-digged her blog from my bloglovin' stream! I'll be making my own logo during classes but so you know, she's my inspiration! Will pop by more often. She mixes fashion/typography/graphics as one - exactly what I should be doing/learning/future thing/whatever!


Now Listening:  Ayyy Girl - JYJ. (post concert syndrome)I didn't have their tracks before the concert!

     Now I'll continue to the dry part: CONCEPT.
     However, there's only one explanation which will then branch out. What she wears, is what I would like to wear in the streets of Japan and beyond if I have that kind of body. Ha! :D
     For this special shoot, my first vision is first dreamed which now visually looks like the first spread. I had visualize that that leggings had to be worn, and be kicked in a certain way to fill the frame and successfully be a fashion shoot, as you have to endorse the clothing for this concept.
     In a quiet street in Singapore. In front of the rusty church, the city girl wears bold colors and patterns.
     In addition, sunglasses are endorsed, a different one on each spread. Think the styles of...
           CAN'T NOBODY CAN'T NOBODY HOLD US DOWN (CHANT WITH ME)

Noneother than 2NE1 and the usual Japanese sense of color-layering. No one can let us down, so go with a flow with your own style or whatever best you do!



Thank you very much to my very small team, and I dedicate this shot to you guys to make this diamond happen.




       On a last note, sharing of other of my faaavvveeee shots that I can't use, as we only need to submit 3 images. I hate breaking it down but here goes!







Possible layouts and titles, but will not do (explained below):






      The title and layout works extremely well, as dynamics of the first shows a rich attitude and it's all glamed up. What doesn't work is the restriction of NYLON JAPAN's usual measurements that they'd always have a white-off/border/margin. Because of the size which is not A4, they've probably made it that way. Second photo works as cool as it is, but the strap is un-doable with clone unless pure dedication in smooth editing. Third works as fine, same case as the first - measurement. But this image works as very well with the angle-illusion of her legs being very long.


That's a wrap for these colorful bling-bling tie-dye clash color gems! 

Comments and critique are always welcome to be dialogued (so quickly jot your thoughts below!). Thank you once again to Irina, Angie, and Richard.
