Binwani’s High Fashion at Affordable Prices @ the Curve

Fancy wearing a breathtaking and regal dress that will make you feel like a million dollar babe and becoming a ‘cam-whore’ at the same time? Then think no further….. just head down to Binwani’s! You surely won’t be disappointed.

Binwani’s: High Fashion at an affordable prices? Usually those words don’t go together very well. Oh well, you have to check out their store to confirm their store’s tag line! But one thing is for sure, their made to measure and ready to wear clothing lines are simply top of the line stuff. Don’t believe me, just take a look at their women’s collection featured at the Curve’s Run-A-Way Fashion Show yesterday. The models were beautiful but the flowing dresses, especially those lace-themed ones really caught my eyes….. their design were fabulous, elegant and simply breathtaking. I don’t know about the pricing but really, is there a price for looking elegant and beautiful? Some women would give an arm and a leg just to look half (or maybe three quarter) of what’s on offer. Seriously!

XIXILI sizzles the runway @ Fashion On 1

Model Inna Gorelli showing the virtue of being a sensual woman at the Fashion On 1 event yesterday.

Exquisite lingerie maker, Xixili showcased their bold, trendy and expressive collections amidst the eagerly awaiting crowds at I Utama shopping mall yesterday. The Spanish inspired women inner wear maker really have the crowds eating out of their hands. I am sure the crowd, especially the women are eager to get their hands on a set or two of their fashionable undergarments right after the show. The men though, what can I say? Some were seen glued to their seats, while others were stopped right on their tracks in whatever they were doing before the show started and with a few of them having to wipe off their nosebleeds.

Seriously, it was a great undergarments show and I am sure the usually restrained and shy Malaysian were happy and appreciative that they could be educated on the availability and the variety of undergarments on offer to them. Bravo Xixili!

“Cake-Walk” at 175m above street level with Jessica Minh Anh.

What you can wear you can eat. The delicious looking cake dress was part of the more than 100 piece of clothing showcased during the J Spring Fashion Show held at Petronas Twin Towers's SkyBridge last night. The colorful cream on the edible cake dress must be super delicious. It definitely was good enough to be eaten right from the wearer's body. Otherwise why would Jessica Minh Anh be having a go at it? This would bring a new meaning to the phrase: It's a cake walk!

 Petronas Twin Towers’ SkyBridge. 19th March 2012.

Jessica Minh Anh pulled off one of the most spectacular fashion show in the capital city of Malaysia last night. Spectacular in the sense that it was held 175 meters above street level and on quite a narrow 58-meter long SkyBridge connecting both the Petronas twin towers. It was also the first time in the history of the Twin towers that an international fashion event was permitted on the 2-storey SkyBridge. That in itself was the main attraction for me to ditch another fashion event held on the same night for this one.

The X Secret Party : X Top Model Search 2012 Preview

Fancy for a front row view of a sexy and hot Burlesque Performance right here in Kuala Lumpur? Then, make sure you are on the invitation list for the next X Secret Party - the biggest and hottest year-end party in Malaysia!

X Pop Group: Girl Panic Performance by X Top Models: Season I - Wow.... if they could sing and dance like that, maybe they should form an all-girl pop group to maybe export our singing talents to Korea in the very near future!

Kuala Lumpur, 16th December 2011.

When I first received the invitation via facebook, I was truly intrigued by the photo of yellow carpet going straight through a cut-out slit of a high security fencing to what looked like a creepy “X-file” complexes. There’s even a No Trespassing Warning on the fence with a very clear message: Violators will be shot; Survivors will be shot again! LOL! I presumed all the guests will be shot to death by straight shots of Martini, Vodka, Tequila or Brandy. If you are not dead yet, they would probably drown you in beer and maybe if you are very lucky, in a giant bowl of fine Champagne! Talk about happy ending – pun intended! They might even throw in a Burlesque girl just for kicks…..

Enchanted Christmas in Kuala Lumpur as viewed via a circular fisheye lens

1 Utama Christmas Theme for 2011: Splashing over the big blue

‘Tis the season to go shopping! What better way to go shopping than to visit out local shopping malls and be thrilled and entertained by the many decorations and fun activities put up by the management of these malls. I have always been curious by the theme selected by these malls, especially during the Christmas season. As usual, they have never failed to impress me year after year, with their creativity, intelligence and budget.

This year, the 2 shopping malls that impressed me the most are 1 Utama and Pavilion KL. Countless hours have been put into their planning and execution that one can spent hours just to admire their themed decorations and to snap some pictures with your kids.

As for me, this year at least, I am attempting to document all these beautiful decorations with my circular fisheye lens. Technically, a circular fisheye lens could capture 180˚ view of a scene with a very decent depth of field. In most cases, I stepped up the f-stop to get an acceptable DOF.
