Created this space years and years ago thus do forgive

tacky name. Haha, I get chills everytime I lay eyes on it.
Too lazy to change things though !

    I'mma itching like crazy.

    Hello you guys.

    Things havn't been going really well for me these weeks.

    After the insane itching in my eyeballs let up, other parts of my body started itching.

    And it's still itching.

    And. To add on to the skin that has been itching like hell, I'm down with a sorethroat, runnynose, and a nagging headache. 

    I think it's all the nose blowing that's brought about the pain in my forehead.

    Hai.

    ):

    The lack of good food and unsightly scratching that's come about with this time I can take.

    But !

    I'm not ready for the bumps and the scars at the back of my legs ! And below my butt.

    And some of the angry red rashes have even spread to my butt.

    ); 

    It's giving me depression. I don't have much but that part of my anatomy just happens to be my most prized possession... well. Along with some other things I'm sure but !!

    God help me.

    If you're the sort who prays, I dunno. Who knows.

    Maybe he favours you? (: Keep me and my skin in your prayers tonight will you? 

    Digressing. On a very long note.

    I just finished watching season 7 of project runway not too long ago and it was really, really, really good.

    I finished everything in two days, when I was having my exams and tests no less.

    Okayokay, not with the disapproval.

    Lighten up ! Exams or no exams, we all gotta have fun right.

    Hahaha. Plus I'm so smart ! Examschmexams.

    AHA.

    Okay la. That's not exactly true either. I had alot of help on accounts. And macroecons...

    well.

    That.

    I'll just have to see where it takes me. Lol.

    Okay ! So. Back to Project runway.

    GOSSSSSHHHH. This season's designers were all really good. Like superrrr talented la !

    Everyone of them could held their own so well, it was really sad to see any one of them go.

    But then again, I guess the show has to go on.

    Though, I thought the season could do with more feminine pieces.

    The entire season was filled with really androgynous stuff man. Not that they don't look good la. I should think that every girl loves a perfectly fitted jacket and I love buckles and studs and all that. I do. 

    But my true love lies in fitted dresses... fully lined. Perhaps complete with a bustier-like sweetheart neckline, and a really short hemline. HAHAHA ! Ah. Thing of beauty.

    My lack of shopping recently has really been sucking the joy out of me leh.

    I literally, quite literally could feel the drool in my mouth when I watched them form the clothes.

    AAAAAAHHHHH.

    The show always makes me wish I could sew.

    Here's some pictures ! Let me drone for awhile la. I'm itchy leh. What else can I be doing.


    One of the pieces constructed  by the season's winner. Seth Aaron. It's cute right?  And so fitting !

    He's a really good and quick tailor. It's odd but it seems to me that most of the winners are.

    Remember Christian Siriano? Haha. Probably the most popular winner of all times. He made his season so entertaining.

    Okay. If you don't know what I'm talking about.

    This Christian Siriano guy was like the youngest contestant in his batch.

    And you know how when the contestants get to the top 3, they have to come up with a complete line to show at New York's fashion week?

    Most of the contestant's go back home, rent a studio, or use their existing ones, or maybe, use a room in the comfort of their home, and start on their work.

    But this guy. I guess cause he was living away from home, he rented this room the size of a broom closet (no kidding), and finished his work there. 

    He slept in the small space, designed in the small space, and sewed in the small space.

    Hai. Such dedication.

    Okay. Since I'm on the topic, I really wanna show you guys some of my runway favourites from the the different seasons !!

    Here's one.

    I think they were supposed to make new bridal dresses out of these middle aged ladys' old yellowing bridal dresses.

    The judges weren't too happy with this cause they said the designer might have ripped the idea off from Alexander McQueen or something.

    Aiya. Whatever la. Beautiful is beautiful. 

    One day leh !! How do they even manage to construct these things in one short day together with all the distractions, stress and everything??

    It like magic la. Sheer magic.

    And then there's the draping master Rami Kashou. 

    Haha. I remember him cause he's good. And this guy. Quite hot one leh.


    Not exactly my style la (say until like i can afford to get him to design something for me like that hahaha!), but everything he touches seems to come out so flowy and perfectly.

    In some challenges he didn't even need to sew much. Just tuck the cloth here and there and voila !

    And and and !

    My all time favourite designer from Project Runway !

    I think she's from season 5. When she showed at Fashion week, wlllll.

    I was soooo. I don't even know the word.

    I wanted to lie down and scream and be sad cause I couldn't have any of the pieces that was walking down that runway.


    She's this really unassuming bespectacled petite girl, and. I would never have been able to tell that she would be a great fashion designer.

    There. I guess we should never judge and jump to conclusions about people.

    The girl on top is obviously not her la. It's just one of the models in her creation.

    Season 5 probably aired like a couple of years back and. It's surprising that her looks can still look so...

    now.

    I lovelovelovelove her colour palette of choice for the clothes !!!

    Everytime I see something that comes slightly close to these things in stores, I buy.

    But unfortunately... none of them ever comes close enough.


    I still remember this skirt.

    I wanted it soooooo bad.

    Unfortunately I googled and her stuff costs like $600 per piece. Hai. These designers. I tell you.

    Oh. And whenever I open google, I keep thinking there's a bug running in circles in the place of one of their Os.

    Even attempted to swipe it off my screen the first time round.  -__-

    Go try open google.com. You'll see what I mean.



    This bustier tube is to die for.


    Ah~ Sigh. They all look so whimsical. Whimsy and floating.

    Had alot of time on my hands.

    Googled the designer whose works always have me salivating. 

    It's Herve Ledger !

    I noticed one day that he has a store in ION. I wonder if I'll ever be able to bring myself to spend one entire paycheque in there one day... Hm...

    You guys might be familiar with his works. He's really popular.



    This design is actually from some time ago. But I loved it the moment I laid my eyes on it.

    Aren't bodycon dresses one of the best things that happened in our time??

    There are so many inspired pieces by blogshops nowadays... ...

    And inspired stuff are so... I don't know.

    The next one is crazy sexy.

    Rachel Bilson on the red carpet.


    And then. His swimsuits are perfect too.




    Crazy right?

    They all look so good.

    When are we going to be able to dress like that if not now !

    We're not going to look like this forever you know.

    In a couple of years... when gravity has had it's way... and when the mayonnaise and fries and three layered pork has gotten the best of us- okay me, I don't even want to think about it.

    And what's with people always complaining that models are anorexic or whatever. They're not all like that.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with being a size 2 and showing off a little teeny bit of rib. 

    They all look pretty hot to me.


    . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


    Dropped by Scape theother day before our movie and had a little bit of something at White Dog cafe !

    Very excitedly made a mental note to tell Kailing. Think she really likes that place.

    Their food's pretty decent and I heard their happy hour's really good too.

    I really like their space too.

    It's comfortable and quite refreshing.

    I made an effort to bring my camera along that day, so insisted that we take photos.

    Ahem. We were the only customers there that afternoon.



    Always mimicking me incorrectly.

    And why so tall?


    Haha.

    I almost don't get it sometimes.

    How can time with you be so insanely good?
