Starstruck: Garance Dore and Scott Schuman

-

In flesh. Went to London this morning to apply for Greek visa with Albert and Rivel. Albert suggested us to check out London Fashion Week should the we had time. Fortunately, the visa application process did not take very long. So we went. To. London Fashion Week. I was so excited, hoping I could meet bryanboy, one of my most favorite fashion blogger.

Now. You can tell that I am not the most fashionable person in the world when you see me. Nor am I the chicest chick in the bunch nor do I wear high end branded items. Keeping up with the latest trends exhaust me. However, I do like to try dressing smartly, playing dress ups in my room, and am very fond of well dressed people. These past years I don't buy fashion magazines on regular basis anymore because of fashion blogs. Love them mainly for three reasons: free access, clever writing (glamor and cool without greater than thou attitude), and most importantly the immense style inspiration.

Well. This afternoon. Met. Two. Of. All time. Favorite. Bloggers.

Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist
and
Garance Dore of Garance Dore


Garance Dore. She's a fashion photographer, illustrator, and writer. Love her writing, she's really witty and funny! And she was very nice to me as well.... Goodness!!!! I was so excited and in awe....
Scott Schuman is also a fashion photographer. This man. I read somewhere that he's one of the pioneers of street style photography. He is one of the biggest fashion bloggers now. Well it used to be a blog, now it's a dotcom. He's a front row-er in fashion shows and very cool in person.
I go to their sites every other day and admire their work and wit.

"Hey Garance? I'm a big fan!"

Got starstruck. Badly. I was sooooo happy and stunned. Man. The amount of happiness in me was so tremendous, didn't realize that I did not take any picture with Scott Schuman until we went home. This may be the first time I got so idiotic when meeting someone famous. This does not happen to me when going to concerts. When you go to concert, you know you're going to see the artist. You pay to see them. You are prepared. And usually I don't really want to take my pictures with famous people, I'd rather take pictures of them. But these two. Man. Man. Man. Man. SYALALALLALALAAAA
SUPER HAPPY. :)

Btw someone asked a picture of me hahaha. Not really sure if she will post my picture, but asking is a compliment enough for me, ahuhuhu.

Dragon Ball

Due to the lack of interesting new manga titles and new releases, I'm currently re-reading Dragon Ball. And let me state here that Dragon Ball is an ingenious work. I'm talking about clean original artwork, not over the top battle scenes (for my taste), and very very humorous with just a tiny dash bit of healthy perverted jokes. Very nice. I remember reading this series from my brother's and my little cousin's collections as a child. Alongside Doraemon. It is safe to say that Dragon Ball is one of the best battle manga ever created, if not the pioneer. I think it has a very interesting concept, about a very strong powerful purehearted boy who turns out to be an alien named Goku. And then there are several different levels of gods ruling different territories and galaxies. In addition, the king of Dragon Ball's earth is a dog whom wear glasses. Goku would later have two sons. He has several very good powerful bestfriends, a genius engineer friend whom later would mar...

Latest Treasure #2

Another finding at an exhibition. Ooohh how I love exhibitions/bazaars.....!! Things you can find are so unpredictable. This necklace was not pricey, very unique and ethnical (naturally). It reminds me of a traditional costume, but I don't know which. Does anybody have a clue which traditional costume this necklace resembles? It's not Toraja nor Padang nor Thai, I looked it up and they look nothing like the necklace. But it does look like Toraja/Batak/Padang traditional HOUSE though. Pointy at both ends. Hahaha. introducing my partner in crime, fellow fashion idolatre, idolater (i mean fashion idolazer;) : Kak Aly

Hello! How's it going guys? Not all rainbows, reindeer, unicorns, and lollipops for me. But I'll survive. Today I'm going to do another post about manga. from Otoyomegatari - Kaoru Mori One of my all time favorite mangaka is Kaoru Mori. She's known for her manga Emma, Shirley, and most recently is Otoyomegatari or The Bride's Story. The last one, Otoyomegatari, is the most beautifully drawn manga I have ever seen. Oh-La-La!! The details are exquisite. It is sharp, charming, and realistic. Mori tells her story not only by words but most of the time through pictures. Loud ones. The other thing I love about her work is she often draws the smallest aspect of the characters' life but somehow relevant. Small aspects that you rarely see described by other mangakas. For example, the chapter about trousseau. Rather than describing everything with talking bubbles, Mori draws details and more details. Even the stitching process. Absolutely magnificent. "A lavishly em...
