my strongest suit

One thing I love about about clothes is the sheer power of wearing it. Have you ever notice that when you put on a certain top or a pair of jeans, it influences your mood and your outlook? Sometimes, you dress to speak the state of your mind and sometimes you dress just to prove a point. To a lot of my close friends, I know what a hassle it can be to go out sometimes. Matching the tops and bottoms with the shoes, deciding if it's appropriatte for the venue, thinking if anyone's seen you in it, pondering the activity of that outing. It can be mind numbing sometimes and it annoys me when nothing seems to go right. Like my hair!! I'm just so tempted at times to just shave it all off.

And that's just the outer wear. What about inner wear? Ha..ha.. This is a whole new topic. VPLs, comfort, colour. I'm a boxers guy but sometimes it is necessary to wear other forms of underwear cos of the jeans/slacks i'm wearing. And thank God i only have to worry about what I wear down below. Ladies, I salute you for your extra hassle to dressing up.

The Spice Girls once wrote a song called My Strongest Suit that sings about underwear and how you are as strong as your underwear. Go figure.. If i was a woman, i'd only be wearing Victoria's Secret stuff. The designs are utterly amazing. And everytime there's a VS fashion show, i'd drop whatever I'm doing. It is fascinatingly eye catching. With the feathers and the whole goddess vibe. Visually stunning. The latest collection show was hosted by none other than Justin Timberlake. And for those of you who haven't seen it, here are some pics.



I especially love Giselle in her angelic glory! Amazing!! This is supermodel. Go underwear!!

all the world is a stage

Recently the company i work for had it's annual dinner. And this year's theme was Movie Icons. The moment this announcement was made and the theme was revealed, I can safely say everyone went into a frenzy over what to dress up as and how to outshine each other. I didn't want to spend so much time thinking, so I went with James Bond. Simple yet dashing.

I really didn't want to go but the curiousity to check out the costumes and to see people dressing up as their alter ego would be decidedly fascinating. Kind of our own Halloween. Also I wanted to laugh at all the wannabe stars. And boy, were there many of them!

I made my own grand entrance. Fashionably late. I was shocked at the wide array of costumes and colours!! Amazing! I didn't have time to pose with everyone cos I had to do my social rounds as is obligatory for the social butterflies.
There were Trojan warriors, Snow White, Grim Reaper, Tarzan, CatWoman, MoulinRouge girls, cowboys, vampires, angels and so many more!
It was fun.

First up, Mr.Bond himself.


This is Bond and a heroine from Devdas.


Bond and Marilyn.

It was a fun night. But not as fun as the after party. We went to a club called BED. Utterly fascinating place. It's located underground. But there were no beds around at all, so i don't understand the name. So anyway, one of the girls in my group had unknowingly attracted the eye of an admirer and he allowed us the use of his credit card!! The best part is we don't even know who the fella is. Until today. All we knew, the waiter kept on coming up to us and insisted we buy more drinks cos the fella was more than willing to pay. We opened bottles, did shots, and lots more. Needless to say, no one could walk straight after that.

Extreme fun night.
