Fried Day...I'm in Luv.

It's just that it feels like I blabber too much lately. And that, these photos are so totally mental. And then, too, there's the thrill of finally having a crush on someone new for months now. (Laugh!)

Happy weekend! :)







(So like, Jak & Jil should really be published into a book or at least mentioned in French Vogue or something like that, really.)

Eye Candy for the (Emmanuelle Alt) Style Hungry

Style... It's that elusive factor. You either have it or not. Very well, Parisian Vogue's Fashion Editor, Emmanuelle Alt, has got it all and a bag of chips -- without effort. She's so rock 'n roll.

Sharing with you my extensive (LOL) collection of E.A.'s photos from the best ever blog in the whole wide world. It's Jak&Jil or nothing, bebe! Rawrrr... Devour, devour. ;)













Side Notes:

1. Regarding Ian Curtis (ha ha), some wuss thought I wasn't gonna publish his silly comment on my previous blog in the below. Of course, I dig scathing comments (view my profile under "interests"), and of course, I love Joy Division and have seen the movie "Control". WTF was Mr. Anonymous thinking?! LOL! =D

I have an epileptic friend whom I grew up with. I know of her seizures and the meds involved. Also, there is scientific proof that exercise is beneficial in combating depression. Perhaps, I wasn't kidding when I said that basketball would have made tortured souls --I meant those energy vampires who walk around thinking that the weight of the world is on their shoulders-- feel better. Chill, dude. Play basketball and don't read my blog if you take me too seriously! =D

2. Jak&Jil should be made into a coffeetable book. I know I'd want it. Wouldn't you all? :)

Blog Identity Crisis

I’m having a blog identity crisis. Music? How’s Ian Curtis for a retarded kinda dude? (Gosh, did you see the bio-movie on him? I’m sick of hearing about and from dudes who seem to have constantly “tortured” souls. Maybe if they played basketball everyday, they'd have felt better.)


I did mention that this blog is for fashion, music and the scene. But there’s not much on music. Really, when I come to think of it, it’s just absent.

So if Francoise Hardy is in this post, does it count for a bit on music category?
(She is, after all, a singer, other than an actress and a style icon. LOL.)

Or how’s some Mick and Bianca Jagger posting? (They look so young and sweet and this is why Jade Jagger is so hot.) Would it equate to the concept of this blog?



My gun heels are not in the Singapore store yet. Dang, too long, it's almost losing its dazzle to me. The next time I talk about it, I'd already have actual photos via my phone camera.

I can’t even really remember why I’m blogging. LOL. Maybe I like putting things down, like, in a journal. Anyhoo, this is me down here in this one. (I read from somewhere that your blog becomes most effective if you have photos of yourself or something like that.)
(Uh…Told you, I’m a ghost blogger. Dress is ASPHALT by Karlo Vicente. Nice, eh?)

Fashion? Okay, then there’s no one else more iconic than the late '60s supermodel -- Penelope Tree:


The scene? I ain’t fond of actual picture-taking (I only take pictures from other folks. Thank you so much, y’all). Okay, the scene:
(Is there anything more scenic than the sight of them right up there in this last pic?) ;D

So maybe this blog is not really off the mark and I can sleep kinda well with that thought he, he. Bedtime!

So there. Hope this helps enough. xoxo.
