Ris Ris Please.

just when i thought i had nothing else to write about
for this month, i came across a Ris Low.

i recently added some videos on my facebook page.
you know, work videos of interviews i did during
my FASHION FORWARD days (i miss F.F.!!).
anyway, 1 friend decided to return the favour and
posted/uploaded/sent me a video of an interview
of a certain Miss Ris Low.
so... i watched.

OOOOO MMMMM GGGGGG !!!!!!!!!!!

it was murder!
let me explain.

you see, in the video Miss Low is a contestant/ finalist
in the Miss Singapore World 2009 Pagent doing 1
of those random interviews for a online media.
anyway, HAVE YOU HEARD HER SPEAK!

OOOOO MMMMM GGGGGG !!!!!!!!!!!!

she's 19. student. 1.7 something metres.
claims to know style and fashion.

supermodel finale

so the show is over and the results are in.
evelyn took the title of SUPERMODEL Me.TV!
a fresh faced girl from australia beat 9 others from the
region to win the 1st season of the online reality contest.
she won over $10,000 worth in prizes and
a fantastic start to a new career!
and her father was there at the finals... so sweet.

but there were other dramas that night too.
i heard...

the girls came 3 hours early for rehearsal
cos they got the wrong information.
makeup and hair was still being done till the start of the show.
dancers had their run thru just before the doors were open.
outside the guests and vips were in the wrong queue.
people came late.
judges, actually 1, came even later.

but i know that during the show
the models almost banged and walked into each other.
and male models looked better not dressed.

did you hear about the post show drama?

xoxo...

my supermodel experience... part 2

the final 3.
kathlene,
evelyn,
christabel.

many were surprised that tomboy kathlene and
plain jane evelyn got this far, but,
talent is talent and you can't deny that.

i remember kathlene as the most outspoken girl when
i first met her.
not the shy type. and so in your face that i think it
gave her an advantage over the other girls.
and the fact that she's only 17.
does that help?

evelyn was definitely the total opposite.
shy. soft spoken. and sometimes a bit too fragile.
but are these the best qualities for a supermodel?

then there's the crowd favourite.
vocal and strong.
experienced yet eager to learn, christabel.
Mm... too experienced?

all i know is that we have the best girls
in the top 3 and it is gonna be a difficult vote.

all the best voters!
see ya all at the finals!

my supermodel experience... part 1

as most of you would know by now
i've been pretty involved in the online reality show,
www.supermodelme.tv

a number of you have asked me what was it like?
working with the girls, styling them, advising them,
even working with top photographers, etc.
well, here's my supermodel experience...

10 wanna be supermodels.

imagine the drama and divaness!
fortunately, there was only 1.
and Ciara was her name.
i met the girls for the 1st time when they had
the makeover session with me.
and from the start Ciara was obviously the
' i am here to win, if not, the 1 to get
most attention in front of the camera' girl.
don't believe me?
watch her episodes and you'll know what i mean.

i then returned mid-season,
this time to style the 5 remaining girls.
remember the giant squid?
my 1st shoot with the girls but
i could already see who were the weak ones.
the outfits from ZARA were the best choice for this
submerged shoot but sadly the focus was on the squid.
and it was even sadder on set when Fiona was eliminated.
i still believe that this girl would do best in BOLLYWOOD.

it was down to the last 4.
dressed in Frederick Lee's couture gowns
under a hot sun and surrounded
by a million even hotter bangaldeshi workers on their off day!
imagine the testosterone!
this elimination was hard cos as judges we knew we were going
break one of the girls' heart and dreams at this point but we also
knew that we had a job to do.
and it was Anna's turn to head home.
to me, Anna's a top model in Malaysia and she's gonna do great!

then it was the final 3.

i heart august

wow! its august already!
how time flies!

honestly august is my favourite month of the year.
sure its the month where singapore celebrates its national day,
but its also my birthday month!
and this year my celebration started way early.

as much as most people would disagree,
i would like to think that i hardly pamper myself.
i rarely shop or indulge in buying myself anything!
really... i don't.
i don't earn a lot but with what i make,
i. love. spending. money.

my biggest splurge this year was an
early birthday present to myself.
a white gold spring coil ring from BVLGARI.

ok, fine...
there was also the 3 pairs of shoes i bought in a week.
and shopping at CLUB 21's boutiques.
but its my birthday this year (and every year!) !!

but its my 40th this year!
i should pamper myself, right?

so...
here's happy birthday to me.
*wink wink

p.s. i'm not a brand whore. seriously, ask anyone i know.
