magic from the deep

Time and again has fashion been diving deep into the sea, resurfacing, then diving again – taking inspiration from mermaids and the magic of the deep. But as much as clothes have been the main focus of mermaid inspired editorials and shoots, the thematic trend also offers up options for hair and beauty that borrow their magic and mystery from the sea.
Flare’s June 2012 issue explores some of those beauty ideas with this shoot starring Meagan Callen.

My thoughts on the coward act of BUTT EXERCISE group.

Recently, i was shocked to read such embarrassing news on the papers. A group of army veteran humiliating themselves and even better, putting Malaysia on World News all for the wrong reasons and always the embarrassing ones. 

For someone that age; WOW, MUKA TEBAL THOSE VETERANS! I won't be surprised if they were paid to do the 'BUTT EXERCISE' outside Ambiga house. After all, our law enforcement are famous for bribery/corruption. I would love to write in more but being a Malaysian, i might get kicked out from the country. 

Some idiots just don't understand what Bersih rally is all about. Google that shit out, please!

Infamous burger protest? That is total bullshit, how rempit-minded are those people ; no one stop you lads from closing that day business, plus the rally finishes at 4pm. Burger stalls opens like what, evening time?  Ouch, caught you there. Hey, like I it said before, it's likely to be paid by YOU-KNOW-WHO to cause more trouble to our beloved strong-will Ambiga. 

Here's the article that i read on the newspapers the other day.





Group performs ‘butt exercises’ in front of Ambiga’s home

KUALA LUMPUR: A group of army veterans literally turned their backs on Bersih co-chairman Datuk S. Ambiga and performed “butt exercises” in front her house in Bukit Damansara.

They held the bizarre protest in retaliation for her organising the Bersih 3.0 rally on April 28, which they claimed had given the country a bad name.

In the incident yesterday morning, about 15 ex-servicemen were seen stretching and shaking their buttocks in front of her house.

Ambiga later came out of her house and told them: “I'm happy you had a good exercise” and offered them isotonic drinks.

However, the group, led by Malay Armed Forces Veterans Associationpresident Mohd Ali Baharom, declined saying they were Malay Muslims and only drank warm water.

B-army show: A group of army veterans performing ‘butt exercises’ in front of Ambiga’s home in Bukit Damansara yesterday.

He went on to tell Ambiga that the ex-army veterans would take more action if she did anything to tarnish the country's good name and warned her not to bring anymore trouble to the country.

Mohd Ali later told reporters that he challenged Ambiga to take legal action against him and if she failed to do so, a bigger crowd would gather in front of her house.

When approached by reporters, Ambiga said she would let the public decide if what happened was an intimidation or a peaceful protest.

“My views are very clear. It is an invasion of privacy. Unfortunately, the Deputy Inspector-General of Police (Datuk Seri Khalid Abu Bakar) does not see any offence in gathering outside someone's house.

“To me, that is highly irresponsible because it will open the doors to allow people to gather outside anybody's house, including a minister's,” she said, describing the exercise as “crude”.

She said she had lodged a report on the incident and would leave it to the police to investigate the matter.

This is the second demonstration to be held in front of Ambiga's house after the “burger protest” staged on May 10 by traders who gave away free burgers.

They had claimed they were upset over their loss of income as a result of the Bersih 3.0 rally.

Ambiga said that after the “burger protest”, some people came by her house “day and night” to ask her for burgers.

8 styles of shoes to make a statement out of summer

It’s one of many ‘numbers’ you never want to share with the world. Age. Lovers. Shoes. It’s considered socially unacceptable to discuss many such numbers, and the latter in is included amongst them as a girl can never have enough shoes in her closet by to publicise a number is to appear gauche.

Each season, we see styles change, heels evolve and the colour palette go wild. However, this summer, the perfect ‘in fashion’ shoes are not defined by the length of the heel or the type of shoe, but more about how each pair is fabricated and embellished.

Shoes that are making a girl’s heart pump this season are already buzzing on the windowsills of various stores. But we’ve taken the stress off your next laborious shoe-shopping trip by narrowing down eight shoe styles that are a creating a name for themselves this spring / summer 2012.

If you’re a woman, you have no reasons to not continue reading after the jump. Chances are, you’ll love us a fraction more by the time you reach the bottom of this post.

Perspex heel

It’s the shoe that reveals all, and what better season for it than summer? The perspex / clear heel shoe is one of the boldest, most telltale shoe styles this season (make sure you book in for a pedicure). No secrets here, as a panel of plastic-type transparent material settles around the toes or stands tall as the heel. This almost-invisible footwear gives an alternative edge to an outfit, especially when styled with leg-baring trends of the season.

Must have :

The dramatic gold spiking hidden in the perspex heel makes the above Donna Karan sandalsa must-have for the season.

Wrapped up

Ornamenting an above-the-knee dress, the ankle-hugging footwear promises to add a sensual twist to the leg show. Adding sex appeal to an outfit, this style of shoe wraps around the ankle, but not in a winter ankle-boots manner. It’s a summer style that provides extensive support to the feet. The ankle can be dressed up in various forms such as, an ankle strap, crossover paneling or laced up gladiatorial-style.

Must have:

The neon primrose tones brighten up these nude Reed Krakoff’s wedge sandals; they’re deceiving, yet full of character.

Metal toe cap

Not only would it make you feel like Kate Moss upon Louis Vuitton’s carousel-themed spring / summer 2012 show, but a metal toe capped shoe has the potential of adding a futuristic tone to an ensemble. It’s a subdued take on the metallic trend for spring, but done in clever and sleek style. Mostly seen on a pointed-toe, pump style shoe, the metal cap has a chic sheen that definitely preps up a boring court shoe.

Must have:

Invest in these flapper-style, satin Yves Saint Laurent pumps, or opt for this classic black and metal piece from ASOS.

Neon hues

Without blinding anyone or feeling as though you’re in a laser show, the electric colours are on high-rotation this season. If not through clothes, at least inject these bright shades via shoes into your wardrobe. The high-voltage florescent colours to look out for are yellow, pink, green and orange. In need of happy feet, anyone?

Must have:

These fun neon colour-blocked Giuseppe Zanotti shoes would make a statement bold enough for the summer months. While these Brian Atwood pumps break all traditional rules.

Tribal

What’s a summer without an overused passport? Channel your modern nomad by adding textured and printed tribal shoes to your wardrobe. The tribal trend comprises of a rich, earthy colour palette and intricate African-inspired detailing, however, with shoes, it’s usually translated into being more geometrical and directional. Team tribal-inspired shoes with low-key clothes, as this would highlight the wild accessory sitting pretty on your feet.

Must have:

Carven’s Aztec-inspired tribal wedges and

Burberry Prorsum’s woven and printed wedges

Flower power

Why limit this predictable spring / summer print to the clothes, when you can dress your feet with fresh blooms and petals? This shoe has the power to be tagged as the go-to accessory for this season, as it incapable of disappointing you with its ability to flower over your attire.

Must have:

These monochromatic sandals by Jimmy Choo with an oversized red rose would also ignite the spring fire on your feet.

White shoes

The colour white owes a lot to the summer season, as it’s the heat that essentially brings out the cooling element of the shade. This season, as with all others before it, the colour is working itself through wardrobes, making white shoes one of the statements of spring / summer 2012. If you’re going to give the alabaster-tone shoes a go this season, make sure you pay extra attention to the material you’re investing in; leather or snakeskin are most durable options.

Must have:

These metal-studded flats by Kg by Kurt Geiger are perfect, casual way to style a pair of straight-legged pants.

Pencil heels

Contrary to the chunky variety, the pencil heels are self-explanatory in many ways. It’s emerged out of the classroom and into the shoe closet with its sky-high length and sexy silhouette. The pencil heel is mostly a shiny metal, giving you leeway to pick the colours and style for the rest of the shoe. From ankle-strap sandals to spring boots, a pencil heel would punk up any shoe style.

This unconventional heel instantly updates your wardrobe to being more modern and sharp. This heel means business and if that’s what your spring wardrobe is aiming towards go crazy with this shoe style.

Must have:

Sex, fetishism and glamour, that’s the message these River Island ankle boots are sending across. These Kurt Geiger peep-toe mules in patent leather are another kind that would add flair to a spring outfit.

Cultural Limbo

Young Germany-based fashion designer Rayan Odyll is having a love affair with multi-tone prints for spring 2012. Finding their way onto luxe silks, these prints were “developed from abstracted childhood memories, floral motifs and Polkadots” resulting in an exotic mix that warrants the collection’s title: Cultural Limbo. Odyll’s peplumed, waist-accenting shapes have a certain femininity, while his accessories add their own exotic whimsy to the mix.Removable collars – also in unique prints – silk turbans and crystal jewellery, created in collaboration with “Seelenstück” by Lisa Eppel, are all in harmony with and yet vying for attention away from the eye-catching clothes.Mohamed Gaff beautifully photographed Odyll’s look book, each shot set against a backdrop of clashing prints in complimentary colours.
