Your thoughts on shoes?

 I wonder what are your thoughts on shoes. Hmm. Some time back in November, I posted a video featuring New York Magazine about What Men Think of Women's Shoes (Click here for the video!). I think I might just have outdo myself, I mean outdo my previous post!

Look at these design! (Note: These images do not belong to PetiteRoseRouge, Maggie or Nicky, nor are we affiliated to the designers. These images are taken from Kovi Levi, and they can be found in his blog http://kobilevidesign.blogspot.com/.

So what do you guys think? Personally I love his designs! Particularly the chewing gum! Such a conversational item! Wish this was retailing in Australia or Singapore, well may be US instead. Will be such a hit! I don't know about you, but I'm keeping a tab on more of his designs!

I can't seem to publish the full trailer perhaps because of the mature content. But here's a segment of the show. If you're interested, go to for the full trailer. And this was one of the better shows available!

What I like and miss about Vegas....

Just so you know that I'm stuck in the dorm of the University of Canterbury and it's 2340 and I'm a little jetlagging since I come from +GMT8.00, so it hit me that I miss Vegas. Yes I do!

I know I know, who misses Vegas at all?! People miss New York City, LA, may be even San Francisco! And I can imagine you giving me "the eye". But seriously I do.

I suppose part of why I miss Vegas is the glittery night lights (yes I'm like a moth attracted to fire in that sense) and unpretentious people, albeit most are tourists so how unpretentious they can get right? But still, the thing about Vegas is once you are there, you know you're in for a fun time and so are others! Everyone's relaxed and every other people you met is a tourist, even the people working there are really out to make sure you are having a great time! Food is cheap and excellent! A friend of mine brought us to M Resort where we pay USD25 for a international and seafood buffet (ooohh, the snow crabs, oysters, mussels, sushi, roast and those yummy desserts) with unlimited wine and beer. Not just that, accommodation's not too bad if you choose to live slight off the strip! I paid USD50 per night at a resort stay that's self-contained and fully equipped! Steam room, swimming pool, gym and tennis courts. There's even free shuttles to take you on and off the Strip!

I'm not a gambler but I didn't feel left out! Each and every casino has its own attraction and character! I, for one, loves Caesars Palace, Venetian and MGM. There's so much to see and absorb. Another plus point is Vegas is cleaner than NYC, and may be LA too.

I was lucky to see the other side of Vegas lifestyle, it's not all so glamourous and glittery. My friend took us to a suburb where families gather at the green near a mall, listening to live bands. Yup these were young families with toddlers and babies.

But I must say Vegas does live up to its name! All the things you see and hear, such as the girls in their tiny dresses that leaves nothing to the imagination as well as boys with their booze. It's crazy and yet safe if you know what I mean. I could, which we did, walk down the Strip past midnight, feeling rather safe and yet see all those crazy and raunchy stuff happening around us. Everything's big, loud and in your face! You can't miss it! All I can say is, "Long Live Vegas!" and if you haven't been there, you ought to! You may not like it, but you gonna enjoy it anyway. That's Vegas for you!

I'm gonna be posting this show that I really wanted to watch when I was in Vegas, but we missed it and couldn't get other tickets (that was really upsetting). Lo and behold, cover your eyes if you're under 18 or not mature enough to handle it! -Wink wink!

Did you realise...?

We changed the background of this blog? And I made an error in earlier post about 18th December 2010 being a Sunday instead? Lol, I bet not! You aren't that observant eh!

Anyhoo, I return with more details about 18th December. It's gonna be at Fort Canning Lodge, Cooke Room located at Level 2. See the cool box at the right with a map on it? Yup, that's it! Click on it for directions, you can zoom in or out as you wish!

It's a Christmas bazaar and I believe it's a charity event. So till I get more information, be sure to check in! We are really excited as this is our first bazaar for this blog! You gonna see pieces of what we've put up here and so much more! There's also this vest that has so much character and this and that! My oh my! Besides, it's for a good cause so why not swing by on the Saturday before Christmas and cop hold of some last minute goodies! We won't tell Santa, you've been a good kid all year!

XOXO at 11 pm from Christchurch (New Zealand),

Queen Victoria Market - Melbourne Australia.

Flea market, swap meet, or trash and treasure?

I wonder how many of you are fans of flea markets. I know at least Maggie and I are, and plenty of our friends too! I love all sorts of flea markets, big or small. Or rather, in general, I just love the bazaars! Particularly the defunct 湘阳市场 (Xiang Yang Shi Chang) in Shanghai, China; Queen Vic Market in Melbourne, Australia and Paddy's Market in Sydney, Australia. Notice the markets listed above are not considered flea market.

In Singapore, it appears that we termed flea market quite loosely. For example, ask any good old Singapore where's the flea market/s, they are likely to point you to Sungei Road Thieves Market. These days, our flea markets do not sell anything old (and useless). I mean, look at Zouk's Flea and Easy, Clarke Quay Sunday Flea Market, the flea markets at Tanglin Mall, and so many others! Our flea markets are more like bazaars where you are likely to find the arty-farty and their crafts, the well-travelled and their junk, and perhaps the occasional participants with their pre-loved! There's just something about bazaars and the people there that makes it so colourful and oh-so-inviting!

So why exactly am I babbling about flea markets and all? A few posts earlier we mentioned about some flea market? It's coming your way!! 18th Dec 2010 falls on a Saturday and that happens to be the day!! Make a mark on your calendar!!!! More details coming right up. Meanwhile, I'm gonna be posting videos about my favourite bazaars. Any I should be sharing?

Old Spice | The Man Your Man Could Smell Like

"Hello ladies..."

You got to watch this video! A new friend I met while in LA, who's into advertising and online marketing, directed me to watch this ad that came out in Super Bowl 2010. If you don't know what's Super Bowl, like myself, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl.

I'll post the interview about two people had this ingenious idea! You'll be surprised at how whiteboarding is a huge thing, especially in Googleplex! How do I know? Of course I do, I've been to Googleplex at Mountain View, California! More the next time!

Autumn looks?

So it's the end of summer ey? Witness the change in the atmosphere yet? Those crunchy looking brown leaves? The withering of flowers? It's funny how I've never experienced a proper four seasons at all. Granted that I lived in Singapore pretty much my first 21 years and spent the last 3 years in Australia (where we get winter in June and summer in Dec). The autumn in Perth (where I am, and where I have been) is almost undetectable. It's as though you wake up one morning and feel that autumn chill and the crisp smell in the air. Just like that.

Apart from our extreme Winter and Summer in June and December, for most of the time it's generally dry and windy. I bet you fellow Singaporeans can't imagine it. It's basically sunny, clear blue sky and the chilly wind. If it's summer, it's basically the same, except that the air is hot and flies are around. Oh yeah, the flies just stick on you and/or your clothes, or they'll just fly around you. No they don't bite or sting, they just enjoy piggy-backing you for a ride. Ahh. Summer daze.

Anyhoo, figure out that I/we should follow the majority, so here we present my/our favourite YouTube subscription, Michelle Phan and her autumn looks.
