The other day, my friend, Bianca, and I went to Vancouver's first Cupcake Challenge and tasted TOO MANY cupcakes for judging. It was a swell and sweet experience that literally left a sweet taste in our mouths ! We had to hit up JJBean for some coffee later on. However.. those pictures are not uploaded yet !! So wait for them in a short while ~~
For now, enjoy my.. erm. exceptional meat cooking skills. LOL.

jack white

I learn new things everyday.
1) Did you know that Jack White has nine older siblings !? Yes. So he is the 10th and the last one in his family. I find that quite mind boggling.
2) Jack White is obsessed with the number THREE - 3. His Stripes colours, red, black, and white, are a group of three. That's just an easy one. His whole life revolves around three. Read the AnOther Man interview and you'll see how special this one is.
Did you know that Jack White is a devout Catholic and he knew that he grew up always wanting to be PASTOR !?!???!?! HUUUUHHHHHHH !???!?!
Well. Thank the Lord that he did not become a pastor but indeed a revolutionary. Apparently, religious people touch all subjects in a more deeper manner. I guess that's why his music is haunting and powerful all the time. Oh, and with Meg White being all good and Jack feeling the mood, another Stripes album is well on its way ! YAY !! Other than The White Stripes, though, Jack's busy with The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, and also getting his producing firm moving. He is a busy man with a brain and body that follows it. He gets albums recorded in days and then surges on in his own meteor-speed pace.
3) Finally, Jack White claims that Meg White is his sister, but that's totally a lie. Divorce papers hit the world back in 2002. His current wife (and probably also the lead singer of the band he is producing at the moment) is Karen Elson !! And below us is a wonderful editorial with both of them.

Jack quotes about not working half-way and always giving his full:
"That's what Priscilla Presley said about Elvis; he never did anything half-way -- if he bought you a present, he bought you a fucking Cadillac."

say wang ?

I think my boys chart has changed a bit since the last time I ranked them all. Certainly back in Grade 12 when I did have an actual HOTTEST MAN IN THE WORLD LIST.. The Great Alexander Wang did not exist on it. But now. Obvs he does. He's too cool. Cool meaning. He has his own pace. He influences others, basically has like a cult following from all IT-girls (I mean which girl ain't !?), is down-to-earth, thinks business, and finally.. Alex is an optimist. He goes all out and never slows down. He knows his future and I think he is just walking the smoothly paved yellow brick road that is turning into gold in a matter of time.
Good things are to be shared in the world.
Let's have our eyes do a little bit of sweet tasting. The recent Alex Wang.. shots from various places, but mostly from the CFDA Awards. He won one ! DUH !!

With his girlfriends.

Looks from his recent Resort 2011. Some of those pieces are to DIE FOR. Liking the maroon/brown. And his TOTALLY WEARABLE outfits. I'd wear that around.. erm, and isn't it SO ALEXANDER to have a CROPPED TURTLENECK KNIT !?!?!??! FUCK ME. YES.

rinko

Rinko Kikuchi in a beauty editorial. She's a sweet actress. Fell in love with her in Brothers Bloom (my eternal love, Adrien Brody, also starrs alongside). She appeared in Babel before Brothers Bloom; Babel being her first international flick where she gained attention. Below is another page in a Japanese hair magazine. I LOVE the top right bob. WISH I CAN CHOP MY HAIR LIKE THAT !! But I'm currently enjoying my long hair teehehe.

may day fam jam

It was a wonderful day in May when I went out on a family yamchai (Chinese brunch) extravaganza. YAY !! One of the things I absolutely love is.. DIM SUM !! And that is what we officially pigged out on. We went to Garden City Hot Pot in Richmond.. They have great tea where for the sake of its greatness.. a lot of effort and work have to be sacrificed. It's like you brew it yourself in your own traditional method of tea cup thing..
Anyhow ! The last few weeks of Vancouver weather has been terrible (except for today being SUPER SUNNY !!) but the weeks in May were better in weather. And these sort of old pictures totally prove that !!
Well, here are the Chung's---- :) :) :)

Menu time ~~ I like my hair that day. AND SO MUCH FOOD. MMMmmm.

I'm wearing vintage Dior shades and cardi, shirt and pants from Zara, heels from Korea and faithful Prada bag. My sister wore these AWESOME Versace high-waisted jeans.. They are super stretchy and the print is so gaudily beautiful.

yuri



Meet male model, Yuri Pleskun, from Brooklyn, USA. He has taken over my world recently through a couple of editorials. To be honest, after checking out his tfs thread and The Fashionisto's posts.. I love him too too much for what he is. His personality, his variety of poses and expressions, and his acuteness. He speaks slow and all, but his answers are intelligent and so are his deep light blue eyes. He also.. always reminds me of sushi. Does this sound weird !? He just has this sashimi aura....... err. yeah. So moving, on. YURI IS THE SHIT.
