Maybe I have the Shanghai Blues...

I am away in Shanghai over Christmas and New Year. I promise to come back with style victories and faux pas galore. Do not miss me, only love me more. Merry Christmas everyone!

I am feeling blue...

Pantone has announced Blue Iris as the Colour of the Year 2008. It reminds me of school pinafores. I like it.

In Pantone's press release, the rationale is given as "Combining the stable and calming aspects of blue with the mystical and spiritual qualities of purple, Blue Iris satisfies the need for reassurance in a complex world, while adding a hint of mystery and excitement." Enough with the mambo jambo, it's a colour, not a scientific theory!

Walking Gold Ingots


Dude... I like my bling and all but seriously don't you think this is taking it a bit too far?

The Bible




My good friends, Quan and Shanthi, gave me a great Christmas present last night. 2 volumes on how fashion has evolved from the 18th to the 20th century! An amazing journey of fabrics, patterns, designs put together by the Kyoto Costume Institute who firmly believes that clothing is an essential manifestation of our very being. Word.

kawaiiiiiii!





Meet kiiiiiii (that's 7 'i's). u.t. and Lakin' are two girls who have known each other since they were 12. They're Japanese, live in Tokyo and sorry, they don't have a CD, only 7-inch. They love Michael Jackson, Queen, Rage Against the Machine, Sesame Street (yes the children's programme), cosmetics and pho. Their varied tastes can be heard through their experimental music complete with piano, space-like boing noises, cymbals and random English phrases. The yellow shorts, pink stockings, the high pony tail, fluffy pink drumsticks... you've gotta love them! I love the drawings!

Thanks for enlightening me, Quantanamera.

Fashionable Art


This would make a kickass brooch! Check out Jen Stark's many other creations.

Festive Skank


Giiiirl, I know it's Christmas and all but that doesn't give you the license to go around dressed up like a skank, ait? And damnnn, that crack of yours is devouring your white shorts like quick sand.

Fridge Magnets Wanted


There's something I like about dilapidated buildings, a row of used refrigerators and old cooker ovens and graffiti all in the same picture. Only in New York, baby.

Picture by Cheryl Dunn.

Gold Digger


I love money so much I had my hosiery maker embed pure gold into my leggings. That's how rich I am, bitch! Now I ain't saying I'm a gold digger but I'm a right mmmminger.

More is More


I went for a wedding today at Repulse Bay. In a sea of tube dresses and bare flesh, I was relieved to find that the adage "Less is more" does not necessarily apply to fashion. Dressed in a cute short purple pleated chiffon dress with black leggings, this girl definitely demonstrated that one doesn't need to show flesh in order to look hot.

The Art of Sex

I never knew butt plugs could look so ... pretty. Makes me want to buy one. I stumbled upon Kiki De Montparnasse in Lane Crawford last weekend and was delighted by these gorgeous tools of desire. Now I just need to justify paying US$85 for a butt plug.

Pyrex Butt-in
Pyrex isn't just for baked rice and souffles anymore. Talk about product diversification.
Also notice they come in different sizes.
For both small and big assholes.


Vibrator, Lubricant and Condom Gift Set
I wonder if it comes with a "Will get you off in 30 seconds" guarantee.


Belted Cock Rings
Even cocks get to dress up nowadays.


Molten Crystal Diletto
Why didn't I think of the word 'diletto' first?


24K Handcuffs with Key and Chain
The sales assistant at Lane Crawford was using the "You can even use this as a fashion accessory" sales pitch.
Ermmm right... but of course. Those handcuffs really go with my favourite Marc Jacobs boots.

Agyness Beauty







If I were to ever switch teams, my lesbian lover would be Agyness Deyn. She's a model, designs her own jewellery and has a band called Lucky Knitwear. This chick could wear a garbage bag and still look good. You might recognise her from the recent Burberry campaign.

Short Call







I love it when short is sassy instead of slutty and who knew white tights could look so good? Alice McCall is her name. She has styled the likes of Destiny's Child, Kelis and Marianne Faithful and counts Chloe Sevigny, Kate Moss and Diane Kruger as her fans.

Does anyone make real shit anymore?






I want a gold necklace with Jillicious on it. I suddenly feel I have to wear my name on my chest. Jules Kim is the brainchild behind Bijules NYC, a cult accessory and jewellery line found in stores from New York to Tokyo to Paris. Her designs are pretty fresh. In reply to Kanye's question "Does anyone make real shit anymore?", apparently some do. Embrace that hope, baby!

lieben Sie mich, lieben Sie meinen roten Filzhut!

Andy Kessler doing a "front-side micro edger" in Riverside Park; 1978.


Sure, it looks like a Tyrolean hat that a big fat German man might wear with tight shorts and green suspenders while chugging a big mug of Krombacher. Fedora? I like. Red fedora with feather? I like more. Not only do I like her headgear, she's hanging out at the HAZE Studios Grand Opening with Andy Kessler (right), a key member of a loose-knit collective of skateboarders and graffiti artists known as the Soul Artists of Zoo York back in the 70s in New York.

white x'mas


Yeah, fuck it, so what if my daughter's dressed in a nightie with pink boots? So what if I am wearing the same clothes I wore last night to the gay slumber party my wife doesn't know about? So what if I am carrying my fanny pack like a manbag? Yeah, yeah, so what if I want to wear my thick woollen socks with my trusty ol' Birkenstocks?! It's a free country! Bite me!

5.55





You might recognise her from the movie "Science of Sleep". Charlotte Gainsbourg is her name and she has a right to style. Her father is the late Serge Gainsbourg, possibly one of France's most famous singer-songwriter, poet, director and actor and her mother is Jane Birkin... yes, the Birkin bag was inspired by her. Known for her high-waisted jeans and leggings, Charlotte is currently the muse to Balenciaga. Did I mention she is a critically acclaimed singer too? Thank fucking goodness she doesn't have the conventional white bread pretty face and damnnnn, does she makes clothes look good.

*shrug*



Maison Martin Margiela has revived a long discarded fad. Shoulderpads. This gem of a style bunny was discovered at the Terry Richardson show last Friday.

Damnnnn, I need those pink shoes...
