Over the Knee Socks

Thank you Vero! You tottally made my day. Now, I MUST find a way to replicate this. If only I had shelled out for a men's-oxford-dress from UO. *sigh* I am glad people think this is ugly, and therefore will leave it to me, rather than it catching on as some kind of a fad or something. I am impressed that they are over-the-knee and saggy. I have that kind too. ^_^ Yea! Knee Highs!

Oh, this is Jessica Sutta from The Pussycat Dolls, read on.

Klimt, duh.

Don't know how I feel about these, I think it sort of undermines Klimt's whole style. Thoughts?

Missed Natalia

I missed this one the first time around, there are eight final photos, see them all here.
Photo shoot in a water slide. I still need these space-wedges. And a crinoline. If Natalia, mother of three can dress up like a 12 year old, so can I. Someday, pink hair, we will be one again. Also, It's a wig, Natalia is still a brunette.

Miss America 2k9

Oh, and because you SHUN tlc programming - ISH...you prly don't know this vital fact: Miss. Indiana , Katie Stam, is Miss America 2009. As you can see, she is wearing a strangely alluring and also creepy in a stole-curtains-from-a-southern-diner way...I don't know what about the purity that lace represents that really gives me the heebie geebies.

right, so beautifull but also unsettling dress here. Very early-vera-wang...thoughts?

Melanie Thierry

I watched babylon ad yesterday and it was very satisfying, except that there could have been more kung-fu...especially because they had Michelle Yuoh: UNTAPPED resource. Also, the scene with hand to hand combat was very shakey camera styles. Say what you will about it being "artistic" to me it is you trying to cover up your bad/sloppy fight correography. Go, hire jackie chan or something, and get some good stunt people on the set, then hire Sophia Coppola to hold your camera in still, one place and THEN shoot the scene.

Other than that, if you suspend your disbelief and think Vin Diesil is a hunk, then you will like this film. I liked the tank...and I liked Melanie Thierry - a french actress and obvs, former child model.

HELLO KITTY AND MAC

HOLY FING F&*$! F*@%! FUCK!!!!

Hello Kitty and MAC! I knew they were cool when they had Fafi products. (I miss my lil' fafi handkerchief, which I lost... I should have shelled out for a figurine). But seriously. I just need to save up $1,179.50 so that I can buy everything! (yea, right.)



“To me, MAC Hello Kitty embodies the ultimate beauty icon,” said Jennifer Balbier, senior vice president of product development for MAC Worldwide. “She’s sweet and sexy, slightly edgy, and appeals to a wide range of customers. We wanted to reflect that through a sweet side, but also something slightly mischievous when it came to the colors."

....there will be two collections "Hello Kitty Colour Collection," which is cheaper and has a ton of lip glosses and...

"Hello Kitty Kouture is intended to be the high end of the collection. Two shades of Dazzleglass, each $28, each feature a reusable silver chain pendant with Hello Kitty outlined in white Swarovski crystals on black with a pink crystal bow."

fuck. yes.

Harajuku

I really like this look, the colours are vibrant, but it's really simple. I think I will wear this today. I have so many clothes, you will be surprised at how I can approximate this look! Perhaps I will do it and take pictures.

Also, I'm obsessed with that colour and texture of her leather jacket...I think it's marketed as "conac" every girl has a bag or boots or something in this colour and it's popping up everywhere paired with all black. It's VERY sexy and dynamic.

Also, please follow the link and check out the new design that Style Arena is sporting - I like the flash pop up with multiple shots - one for hair, make up, shoes, everything. That's the way street style should be done! It leaves nothing out, and I especially love the "favourite" shot, where the subject can point out their favourite item, here is our girl's, I believe it's a camera case...

BC Hospitality Foundation Founders Dinner II

This Monday, my dad is participating in the BC Hospitality Foundation Founders Dinner in Vancouver. This is his scallop salad, with kiwi fruits - it was described at the media dinner as fresh as an ocean breeze... I am so proud of him! The above are photos I took at home and the below are ones taken in a hoity-toity studio, (at the 20th floor of the revolving top of the Renaissance hotel).


I asked him to describe his dish:

In creating this scallop salad, I immediately thought about the products that are associated with BC in January. What is ripe in the root cellar after all of this snow? I had a choice between traditional vegetables (turnips, potatoes, carrots) and certain things that are still growing, (kiwis, apples, chervil and sorrel...) it was one or the other. The other chefs had BIG flavours: pork, mucocks, ect. I knew something lighter would be best so I went with kiwis and apples. The local kiwis are not very sweet, because it wasn't the best season - they are a little acidic and the seeds are crunchy, which adds dimension to the textures. You don't need as much lemon as you normally would with a seafood dish - The kiwi enhances rather than masks the freshness of the scallops this with its acidity - which also brings out the more tropical flavours of the wine.

I took qualicum scallops 12/20 per pound, poached in 180 degree beurre noisette, ( sweet butter-made from sour cream- extra special flavour...look it up... beurre noisette -just follow the recipe). For a dinner appy; I'd serve the scallops whole, but for this tasting menu, the scallops were cut in half poached and for barely 2 minutes, the brown butter adds a nutty, butterscotch flavour that compliments the pinot blanc (which is aged 50% in oak, 50 st. steel) Then I tangled in the mizuna leaves (a mustard green). I added pepper, first day harvest single variety E.V.O. (EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL) added the fruit on top, sweet spice....flaked sea salt, bit of lemon juice. That's it, simple, sexy, local, available, very tasty....almost me in a nut shell...hazelnut...(noisette....) flavours of the pinot blanc. The apples are belle de boskoop - they are tart, but hold their shape while cooked - they are not green, but are tart and are a great for eating raw as well.

In 1963 Mary Quant showed a collection of her designs in Paris, the international capital of fashion, for the first time. The show included the famous 'Wet Collection', the result of Quant's experiments with PVC. It had taken two years of manufacturing trials to bond the seams of PVC garments successfully.

Lolita Kate Moss

: why I should carry stuffed animals with me -as many lolitas do. I think the best idea would be to get a doll or stuffed animal purse/shoulder-bag...back-bag. (I am loathe to say the word, we all know Veronica's feelings about B.P.'s.)
