V-Boots Vs. C-Boots

It was two weeks ago I was kinda stunned to hear the buzzword that is currently hitting the women's fashion - the vagina boots. Yeah, I know. Just like you are, I was like - WHAT?? What's that? What's vagina boots? Better yet, what does it got to do with the 'v' word? Well, it was then when I read the article in Evening Standard, the term refers to the towering high boots which is becoming a hot trend this season. The kinda boots that goes straight up high on the thigh. The one that I used to feature in this blog before (see Gucci's Sex on Legs). The one that Stella McCartney made famous with her perforated thigh high thingy in her current collection. Also the one that Rihanna, Madonna and Rachel Weisz made headlines in the press. Which also what Stylist featured in their last week's issue! But vagina? Maybe it's true coz they really go up there close to..err.. you know what. :)

But for us men, there is no way we gonna have that kind of boots. The highest it might go is just below the knee. Like what Lanvin showcased in the Autumn/Winter 09 catwalk. The lace-up boots that hug the lower part of the legs look very tasteful. Very edgy. Very out-there. But military? Probably so; a high-fashion army if you may. I love 'em. They definitely made a huge statement when you wear one out in the streets. Just like when I previously wore my Zara lace-up boots which became a headturner. Simply awesome. Yet to get a Lanvin, well... they're definitely gonna break my bank without a doubt!

Right now I'm really crazy about the brogue lace-up boots. They may not be that towering high, but I think they're much more sensible to be worn coz I can either dress up or dress down with it. And brogue is always remain classic. Not to mention a hot trend this season too! I'm still looking for a great pair; great design with low price, of course. Like these lots - from highstreet to designers, they're all look great.

I like Grenson boots coz they're synonym with brogues. And English craftsmanship is non-questionable - well-known for being very hardwearing and longlasting. No problem if you wanna wear it season after season. Rumor has it, ASOS' 'Made in Britain' shoes are all Grenson's. Another good craftmanship is Paul Smith, though the boots have kinda worn, vintage feel. Anyway, as long as it looks great and above the ankle - hey, it doesn't really matter.

So, my next conquest: to get a C-boots. No, not a cock boots or crotch boots - but a calves boots! A brogue, lace-up calves boots. :D

NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

“If a more likable writer than Gilbert is currently in print, I haven't found him or her...Gilbert's prose is fueled by a mix of intelligence, wit and colloquial exuberance that is close to irresistible, and makes the reader only too glad to join the posse of friends and devotees who have the pleasure of listening in.” by Jennifer Egan

TIME MAGAZINE

“An engaging, intelligent and entertaining memoir…her account of her time in India is beautiful and honest and free of patchouli-scented obscurities.” by Lev Grossman

LOS ANGELES TIMES

“Gilbert’s journey is full of mystical dreams, visions and uncanny coincidences…Yet for every ounce of self-absorption her classical New-Age journey demands, Gilbert is ready with an equal measure of intelligence, humor and self-deprecation…Gilbert’s wry, unfettered account of her extraordinary journey makes even the most cynical reader dare to dream of someday finding God deep within a meditation cave in India, or perhaps over a transcendent slice of pizza.” by Erika Schickel

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER

"This is an intriguing and substantive journey recounted with verve, humor and insight. Others have preceded Gilbert in writing this sort of memoir, but few indeed have done it better."  by John Marshall

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS

“Fine, sometimes startling…Gilbert doesn’t wear spirituality like a fresh frock she hopes will make her pretty, but nurtures the spiritual seed within herself to find the beauty and love in everything.”  by Sarah Peasley

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"A" - "This insightful, funny account of her travels reads like a mix of Susan Orlean and Frances Mayes...Gilbert's journey is well worth taking." by Jessica Shaw

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Gilbert (The Last American Man) grafts the structure of romantic fiction upon the inquiries of reporting in this sprawling yet methodical travelogue of soul-searching and self-discovery. Plagued with despair after a nasty divorce, the author, in her early 30s, divides a year equally among three dissimilar countries, exploring her competing urges for earthly delights and divine transcendence. First, pleasure: savoring Italy's buffet of delights — the world's best pizza, free-flowing wine and dashing conversation partners — Gilbert consumes la dolce vita as spiritual succor. 'I came to Italy pinched and thin,' she writes, but soon fills out in waist and soul. Then, prayer and ascetic rigor: seeking communion with the divine at a sacred ashram in India, Gilbert emulates the ways of yogis in grueling hours of meditation, struggling to still her churning mind. Finally, a balancing act in Bali, where Gilbert tries for equipoise 'betwixt and between' realms, studies with a merry medicine man and plunges into a charged love affair. Sustaining a chatty, conspiratorial tone, Gilbert fully engages readers in the year's cultural and emotional tapestry — conveying rapture with infectious brio, recalling anguish with touching candor — as she details her exotic tableau with history, anecdote and impression." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

 BOOKLIST

 A Starred Review.  "Gilbert, author of The Last American Man (2002) and a well-traveled I'll-try-anything-once journalist, chronicles her intrepid quest for spiritual healing. Driven to despair by a punishing divorce and an anguished love affair, Gilbert flees New York for sojourns in the three Is. She goes to Italy to learn the language and revel in the cuisine, India to meditate in an ashram, and Indonesia to reconnect with a healer in Bali. This itinerary may sound self-indulgent or fey, but there is never a whiny or pious or dull moment because Gilbert is irreverent, hilarious, zestful, courageous, intelligent, and in masterful command of her sparkling prose. A captivating storyteller with a gift for enlivening metaphors, Gilbert is Anne Lamott's hip, yoga-practicing, footloose younger sister, and readers will laugh and cry as she recounts her nervy and outlandish experiences and profiles the extraordinary people she meets. As Gilbert switches from gelato to kundalini Shakti to herbal cures Balinese-style, she ponders the many paths to divinity, the true nature of happiness, and the boon of good-hearted, sexy love. Gilbert's sensuous and audacious spiritual odyssey is as deeply pleasurable as it is enlightening." by Donna Seaman

Alan Richman's take on "Eat, Pray, Love"

"Spilling out of this funny (and profound) circus car of a book are dozens of mesmerizing characters, people you'll envy Liz Gilbert for finding, valuing, loving and, I couldn't help noticing, joining for irresistible meals. I've never read an adventure quite like one, where a writer packs up her entire life and takes it on the road." -- Alan Richman.

Anne Lamott on "Eat, Pray, Love"

"This is a wonderful book, brilliant and personal, rich in spiritual insight, filled with sorrow and a great sense of humor. Elizabeth Gilbert is everything you would love in a tour guide, of magical places she has traveled to both deep inside and across the oceans: she's wise, jaunty, human, ethereal, hilarious, heartbreaking, and God, does she pay great attention to the things that really matter." -- Anne Lamott

Jack Kornfield says about "Eat, Pray, Love"

"Elizabeth Gilbert takes us on pilgrimage, with the humor, insight and charm that only come with honest self-revelation and good writing." -- Jack Kornfield

Finished Kirituhi tribal style tattoo designs

Hi!

I just finished two nice tattoo designs in a Kirituhi style mixed with some other tribal elements.
The first one is a forearm tatoo design, which has some flames at the wrist in a negative space.
The other elements had to be sharp and my customer wanted some curles in it.
Here's the final tat2 design:
















The second design is for the elbow in a Kirituhi-style with some "storm3d" flow to it.
It's a seamless piece, so the tattoo will wrap around without any visible edges.











Will be back in a day or two with a backpiece and some other projects, so check back soon!

Kind regards, Mark Storm

New Zodiac Of You

Birthday Suit

I got this story from the net quite long time ago. Can't remember the original version, but it goes something like this:

There was this OAP couple who’re in their late
70s. Very old indeed. With the canes on the hands, and wrinkles all over. One
day on their anniversary, the wife is thinking of doing something special for
her husband when he got home. Something that she’s never ever done before, even
during their past anniversaries. She’s was thinking of stripping buck naked in
front of the door, trying to surprise her husband right when he opened the door.

So the moment came. She could hear the steps;
tap, tap, tap… which is coming closer, and closer and closer to the door.
Finally the knob turned, the door squeaked and voila! There she was, standing in
front of him – without a strand of thread on the body, with arms wide open,
wiggling what the nature gave her. Wiggy, wiggy, wiggy. But her husband. Well..
let's just say, he is totally and utterly in shock of his life!

The wife suddenly went “Happy anniversary, darling!! Look,
I’m in my birthday suit!" Seeing his jaw just dropped like you can't imagine, she then said "Well, say something?!"

Still in utter shock, the husband replied, “Well, for
goodness sake. If you ever wanna be wearing your birthday suit, keep it
ironed first!!!”

Mwahahahaha… that's the little story of the day for your amusement! :D

Talking about birthday, hey, hey.... it's my birthday today!! Yeay! Dunno whether that'll make me another year wiser. Hmm... Anyway, age is just a number. The most important; enjoy life!!

What I really want for my birthday? I don't want any stupid b'day card. All I want just these lots. Hehehe... ;)

Photoshop: The Editorial Truth...

Last week I got the opportunity to attend a free short course on Photoshop. Very nice indeed to be able to get my hands on the software, though I have used it before without proper training. I think by now, even sans Photoshop everyone knows how to crop, rotate, flip and change bit and bobs on the pix aren't they? Anyway, what I like most about this course (or any course, indeed) is the thing which is outside the 'syllabus'. Thing that the instructor share with all the participants, like their experience and stuff. And talking about Photoshop, everyone knows about its endless possibilities of changing someone or something especially in advertising.

So, at the end of the course the instructor shared one of the link that I found very, very and very (that's a hell lot of very!) interesting. The advert by Dove about beauty. Take a look yourself how Photoshop really being used to the max to evolve someone that is practically already beautiful into someone that's basically not her anymore (or improved version of her in the eyes of the advert people).

So, my word: beware when you look at any ad. You might be fooled with the real truth or real person off-screen. Whatever it is, I think beauty is not only in the eyes of the beholder - it's in the head too. You've gotta see the beauty beneath the skin deep. :)

Oh, btw. All my pix in this blog are not being 'Photoshopped'. It's my real skinny body. (Please don't hate me.. lol!)

GQ Style: Wear It Like Lautner

You know what is funny whenever I'm waiting for the Tube to arrive during the morning commute? Is when i see those business-like people or office workers wearing their hideous shirts. The balloning on the back (not to mention on their sideways too, ahaks..), the baggy thingy and the oh-is-it-too-sheer-that-my-vest-is-showing kinda thing. I'm not undermining them for choosing them, but mainly the blame is for their missus actually. Anyway, that kind of people always tickles my funnybone every morning..hehe..

So, word of advice: if you wanna do business, don't just look like one. Look more than that. Be edgy, but not tacky. GQ Style has given some great tips how to choose right shirts to wear. It's all about fit, fit and fit. And good fabric too, of course. I really love slimfit. It's always the best coz it skims the torso very well. Just like Taylor Lautner here. It helps if you got a great body like him too.. so gotta work the love handles mate!

Oh, for those who are Twilight craze; you can win a ticket for the exclusive screening of the New Moon at River Island.

Sean O Did H&M Fall/Winter '09

Again, H&M has featured Sean O'Pry for the Fall/Winter '09 campaign. Last time we've seen him in Matthew Williamson's floral shirt and print speedo in the H&M mag. Quite cool coz the look is very casual.

What about the clothes that he's wearing this time around ? They are not that bad coz H&M is very wallet friendly anyway. Provided that you choose carefully on the cut and fabric, you can carry on wearing them even for next fall/winter. Again this time the staples is always about chunky knit, but not too heavy like what Dolce & Gabbana used to showcase in FW08. Just great for layering since nowadays London basically is experiencing a barbeque autumn. (It's the warmest autumn ever - coz temperature hit 19-20oC!) So, dash that knit jumper over the tee... and you're ready to take a stroll in the park without shivering cold.

And another trend is the snood and chunky scarves. Very out there, so to speak. I actually bought both featured in the first two pix (in black btw), though my mate said I'm wearing a tyre on my neck (referring to the 2nd pix). It surely did coz it's so long and very chunky! But i love it, esp the snood. :)

Love the camel/sand combo...

Did I just wore this one before? Hmm...

zaNewShoes: Ssssssshoe.....

Two things I can't say no to: bags and fierce shoes! If they're affordable and price within reach, I'll snap 'em up with no question. But if the price is waaay to up there, then it'll be in my waiting list. ;)

So, as my usual weekend trip to the highstreet and without even planning to buy anything I went in to Zara. Flip, flip, flip the clothes on the rails, touch the fabric of the jackets, feel the lusciousness of the new wool sweaters and cardi.... suddenly as if a halo strike from nowhere I spotted something lurking around the shoe corner. Aaaaaa... it's a python shoe! My jaw just dropped like you can't imagine (no, not like Jim Carrey's Mask character silly!).

Two words: love it. Love the shoes, love the python, love the design. The color is quite subtle dark choc making it look very delicious indeed. And the sharp pointy toe ... I'd kill for it. With the rubber sole (which is friendlier during this wet weather) and it look fierce on my feet, I just can't say no! This one's going home with me...

There goes another shoe in my closet.

The big gold bracelet(in the first pic) with plastic diamond studs that you guys have been asking is an old Ambiance bracelet that broke. I glued an elastic band inside so it's so much easier to wear now than clipping it on.
