digress & obsess [v2]

 

thanks for reading

why ma so bitchy?

dunno wot got to me? i was havin a pretty good day, i mean went to a really cool art gallery w yoyoman and bitchy diva chao (finally), had really good jappy food which i threw up later cos i felt damn woozy cos of sake. they temaned me for shopping and i found a dman jeng missoni dress which they are buying for me! we had shopping therapy non stop. i bot new christian lacroix and janet&janet shoes, i bought a whole range of chanel lippies, fedora hat from boss, new bras, but still not satisfied. dunno why la. like sumth gone wrong lidat. feel really rotten. humph.

so how la then. my couture designs for gillian hung are comin along really well, they look awesome. she says they may be too risque for the conservative crowd but she reckons theyl be a hit if she posts them up in LA. and. pls la. dun la make the colour scheme so monochrome and so pale and the frames so bloddy skinny. very anorexic looking.

go figure.

but thats the whole point the whole appeal of skinny couture and how it has an elegant chic air to it,think Audrey Hepbrun and Sophia Loren, but shows hints of self destruction by it. disturbing yet really appealing. and edgy. w a whole lot of vintage thrown in. i like it.

chao thinks im crazy, setting the bar way over the fucking skyline and challenging hung like she were david. dun la lidat. kena sack then you know. zang toi wont take you in! and neither will hideaki lim. so be nice la wei. come out a little more commercial, and conservative. you have nuth to lose
si la wei. ive got everything to lose. fashion is all abt self expression, human psyche really. and its an art form in itself.
look at andy warhol, van gogh, mattisse?
ya, but theyre dead and long gone.

diva chao will you pls shut the fuck up?!! why la you always rebutt every sentence of mine ar? yea. true dat. therye long gone and deadvright?
like bob marley.
but their legacy of extraordinary life study, expression, in the form of exemplary work remains to remind us.

of wot?

Commercialism.
and why it is the death of anything new, fresh, eccentric, cutting edge and lively.
you understand ma point.
no one would go further than the LBD, tailored suits and god forbid; the knee length skirts. no one would challenge and tiltilate wot is pleasing and disturbing to the eye.

you dont get it do you.

tkae for e.g. covention at its digustingly explicit. look at dkny,tommy, armani and ck and guess. i really cannot stand them. even topshop and copy cats mango and zara stand a fighting chance cos theyre cheap.

wutthefuck.

you charge a siao tingtong amt on a thin piece of crepe white shirt shit and a baby tee that can be copied in camden for less then 10 pounds. joh. wheres the gist in that. its basically girly girls just wearing copyrighted grafitti on their breasts trying to make a statement that goes sumth like:

"white trash/ahlian/sarong party girl wants attention in all the wrong ways. come fuck me y’all, i want to prove the revolution that we call commercialism."
na bei .

then. on the other hand we have mainstream buggers such as tom ford, miu miu, chanel, that make it big cos they appeal to the majority of crowd and that i mean datins/taitais w lots of money. you see them in teh shops musing over the latest handbags, and shoes,

yet jsut down the road, they are chutting out imitations imported from chinaland for a fraction of the price. ma take? id rather go for the imitaion.

why ar you ask? gila kah? no actually. in this crazy world of computers and all…

sometimes, these bags come in labels that are spelt wrongly like guccie, brada, channel, and the hail king bong of it all: louis vitton spelt quite literally in that way. mahai.

you see. i find that all quite quirky, lame, and actually cute in the collecters spoofment kind of way.

the appeal?

quite obviously: gawdy, trashy, loud, but most importantly they have sumth over wot tommy ford and his gang of gangsteerrrrrsheepss@gucci dun have.

risk.

of wot? you ask.
risk of being risque, stylissimo gone wrong, risk of being unconventional and even awkward like these many bags are..but these road side stalls are all abt

this quite frankly real.vs.fake is like yin and yang.

they reinvent, reinforce and compliment each other as the seasons of summer, fall, winter and spring roll on like the red carpet. one wont survive without the other. for the fakers a death of tomford would mean nothing more to copy, for the guccian empire, that would mean the shortfall in appeal, desirability and popularity since so many ppl from young crowds, socialites, mamasans, taitais and even chavs and bengs/sengs/lians are sportin the newest brada/guuccy hat.

the thing abt commercialism is that they feed and thrive on wot is of the majority. wot is accepted. never wot is in the minority.

you see.

im all abt the minority where i can bring a whole new meaning to

"short" when it comes to skirts,
"plunging" when i comes to neckline,
"skyscraper" when it comes to heels and
"beehive/afro-gone-wrong" when it comes to hair.

you see? why go w the oh so, okgo perception of society?

when you want to cut a short skirt. make it a belt.

when you want long, make it dragg on the floor, like a vacumm cleaaner on teh red
when you want long, make it dragg on the floor, like a vacumm cleaaner on teh red carpet, but i can assure you it will be gettin more rave reviews than eva longoria going topless. i fuckinng assure you. it has to do w cut, colour and slits (sometimes).

and when you wanna make it plunging go all the way la mother fucker. why la stop. lower some more. you kno, queen of attention whoring jessie simpson herslef has this to say im sure.
fa hai.
i didnt work out for 6months straight to and do squats run like a bitch in the wind, and shun ding/dongs/twinkies like they were the devils wrath to don a robe that dont do nuth for ma curves.

ppl and celebs alike wanna see flesh, oh so risque cleavage, perfectly sculped pinns, hollow shouders, paper thin backs w the spinal cord poking through. celebs dont work out for nuth you know. look at oprah god forbid. she claims to live by the motto "love yourself" yet lately shes been dubed lollipop woman by the press having lost so much weight and finaaly doning that hot pink minskirt after decades of hiding.

you see wot i mean.

mean. yes i mean. when you go black you never go back. why? cos black is hotter than is balck magic. im not jsut talking abt the fabrix, but skin colour, culture, etc you cna mix match and go damn wrong w it, in all its hues, glory, affro madness, and bling bling that goes w it. but its all abt OTT. and thats how we like it girl.
kinda paradoxical i mean,
OTT and the most conventional colour are not on the same page. why cos media and society said so.
i say…to hell with them we got a balck party to attend

then you sakais wanna go blonde, go la.
go white/silver platinum that can shine till you blind the fucking paparazzi.
good role model, gwen stefani and donatella versace. they pull it off better than anyone.

how bout lippy? you wanna go red go fucking hell red. think. geisha. moulin rouge. if you want pale frosted youd better start rubbing foundation on those lips.

this is wut i mean.

OTT. but in the most a tasteful/pleasing to the eye way. still dun la get wut i mean?

fine. take a fucking good look at
viviene westwood,
john galliano,
jpg,
roberto cavalli,
ellie saab and
don/gianni versace.

they are the fucking reason couture exists.

heck they brought a whole new name to it.
theyre the fcking pinnacle of the rock and rollin fashion world.
they brought the bling into the accesories and aviators, teh jeng into the cocktail dresses, the graffiti and individuality of their bags.

man i persoanlly am i die hard fan of gallianos life work.

look at him.

hes all that culd have possily gone worng.
yet every bag, is sculptedd and crafted to perfection like an art piece on its own.

dun believe me.?.

who the fuck saw saddle bags before galliano invented them and made women ride high.

i own one ma slef and im sure as fuck proud to be togging it alongside the ahlians w their brada and channels.

these meisters, brought birth to a whole new revolution of muse/designers.artists.

while guccy and brada were close to packin up and reverting to supplying @ tescos,

names like alexandedr mcqueen, yohjiyamamoto, lamb, issey miyake, salinas, anya hindmarch/luluguiness were heading the market adn takin it over by storm.

man were they cutting edge.

who the hell decided that water colour paintings/mixed media/poster art be printed on a bag adn sold for a fortune?
big fat totes first came out
when slim purses and armpit grazing handys were flodding the market.
anya hindmarch herself. and did she do it so fucking right, it felt wrong to not be tugging one along w a doggie in it. mahai.

look at mcqueen and his stint in puma. he took the whole motherfucking concept and turned it upside down, jsut when it was filing for bankrptcy. look at puma now, celebs,rappers, socialites anybody are sporting those awesome shoes and jumpsuits. dont believe me?
check it out in gwen stefani’s fotoshoots, BEP’s new dont lie video on will.i.am. yup.
media dont lie.
and mcqueen is sure to be hailed king of sporty, stylish psychdelico pop.
i love it.

look at yohjis and miyakes taking over the world by storm in w jappy retro/vintage allure. its a ping pong match between east and west. go check on their inspiration into the biggest names in music industry, gwen stefani.

look at that woman and her fucking swakooo clothing line that is l.a.m.b. what you waiting for go get a copy, and deck out in some yohji gear, youl be sure to get soem rave attention.

so wots next for these big names? i mean they were so conventionally uncoventional you almost expected it to be a success in all ways possible.

wots next? i expect to pay homage to these awesome figure heads by reinventing

missoni in all its glory,
giving manolo blahnik a run for his money literally, and
to bring classic vintage,
retro,
disco pop,
blingbling
hollywood glamour,
life in monochrome,
back into the game aviator style.

so watch me closely if you will. cos u sure as hell will get a shellin.

cos when st. martins chutes out another tom ford, il be joining him in a rage against the machine

that is commercialism. and il be damnedd good at it.

so all hail unconventionalism that is couture and all things eccentric/cutting edge.
we have no society to pls since all y’ll are brainwashed and lovin it.
but we have a point to prove. and damn right it will sound, very soon. take me up on it.

ppl in years to come will rememeber this not for the branding but the pivotal revolution it brought in the name of

fashion,
lifestyle and
image.

"who knoes in this crazy world of fashion and all"
