X1 + X2 = The Monochromator

If you already have seen X2's previous post, you may very well say that he has quite a bit of an imagination when it comes to his perception about the two of us. It's either that or he's blogging drunk again.

We're not really big on ourselves and this is more than just an expression of our vanities, as it is really more on...uhh...never mind. So, anyhoo, just to share a bit more of our ghost blogger selves, I'm posting some of our pics for you.

This is X2 right up here. He's really hot in person. LOL! :p

In the tradition of blogging, you're supposed to be let in on what people in photos are wearing. But I really don't know what X2 has got on. I think the jeans are from Topshop, the shoes are vintage, the shirt could be American Appy and the jacket is most likely Gian Romano. Maybe he'll clarify when he sees how wrong my scientific guesses are when he sees this post he, he.

In the below, the chick that's looking down is yours truly. Hi, yah!! :-) I have on some Gian Romano jacket, an Asphalt by Karlo Vicente sheer jersey over an H&M dress, then my beloved Chanel Gun Heels and Fendi tote.

And just last Thursday, we went to the 4th year anniversary party of FLUXXE. (Just google FLUXXE, I don't feel like explaining it here. I'm rushing to get out for some drinks. Please excuse me, yeah?) It was a great party. Amazingly, we both wore Margiela. Maybe, the statement, if there's any, was that - great minds wear Margiela or something along that idea but not really. Ha, ha! :p

X2's shirt is Margiela, above photo. His pants, maybe Dior Homme or Topshop? I didn't see what shoes he had on -- maybe vintage again or perhaps them Dior Homme sneaks. I wore Martin Margiela over a Gian Romano beige dress with my Margiela pumps and I had no trouble dancing all my worries away the whole night. (I really love the shoes, they are the most perfect looking pumps I have ever owned so far.) It's me in this photo down here.

So why did I do a post about us? Maybe 'cos I want you to know that even if you don't see us here that often, this blog is pretty much us. Or maybe I'm just friendly? Condescending, too. Truth is, I just want some tete-a-tete with you before I talk to other folks outside the world wide web.

Okay. Here's to hope that we will all have a good night, the night is young. Keep on keeping on. XOXO. (Gawd, I miss the guy I used to see. Gah!)

Red Dress

Red Dresses galore! Your friends electric, The Monochromators, went blind! It was too early in the day to see color! But since it's the Red Dress Press Conference of the Singapore Heart Foundation, no black & white and sepia pictures again. Everything in full color. Not really, because, it's just black and red. One of our favorite designers, Gian Romano, was part of it. So we're posting it. Where can we get a zipper that long? All we can say is everything is so Gilbert and George. Red and Black. We hate color, but for a good cause so whatever.

Photos from Jasmine of The Blackmarket (theblackmarket.com.sg) because, again, we were too lazy (a.k.a. hungover, since the event was at 2pm) to take our own photos.

Shutter Matter (Part 2)

Had to pick up more photos from Jujiin Samonte 'cos they look great. =D
Also, there's a ton of arm candies and all sorts of funky-interesting-goodies going on in these:

(This is Jujiin in this pic right up here. Nice, yeah? And, he's one of them with the lookbook something account who does not make me squirm. It's like, when I checked out most of Manila's stuff there from other people, it made me wish that they never got the idea of doing that to themselves. I don't know but I wish lookbook or chictopia, etc. would be savvy enough to filter their members to only those who, yah know, uhh, fit the bill. )

The Tee Posse

Post-save-to-draft Note: I had meant to post this a few minutes before the world stopped. Today, December 6, I don't have more to say but that which I originally meant to share. So here's to publish one that's been saved in my draft for 5days now.


Since we were on the topic of my t-shirt weather country, we might as well get on with some folks from here who wore theirs really nicely. I don't give a fock what brand your shirt is or if your pants are from a dope brand or something. I'm not gonna get stoked on the shoes you have on, just 'cos they costed you a fortune. It's never about what you're wearing. It's always simply just about how you wear it.

(I love you, IVAN.)

BONUS PIC: Sharon Atillo, so astig. I like when gals can go rock 'n roll as effortlessly and as real as she can.
