In Love with Zhang Ziyi’s Dress



24 June, 2009 (12:35) | fashion | By: editor


I think Ziyi’s dress in Coco Chanel Igor Stravinsky Premiere 2009 suited her very well. She rendered a simple yet elegant image of a lady here. If you asked who designed this - too bad I don’t have any idea who is the designer of this gorgeous piece of pink silverish dress, but I would love to hear a comment if any of you know the designer of her dress and her purse. The purse might have been a Judith Leiber but not so sure…
And I really love the backless part of her dress, see it below:

I like the low cut back that seems to drape perfectly on her petit body, however I dislike is the rather horizontal lining of the dress’s texture especially on the under breast portion somehow it appear as to stretch out someone’s belly and doesn’t really help shaping the body (unlike versace dress in where women’s body’s part always seems to be enchance to be better, in my own oppinion).

18 June, 2009 (21:55) | beauty, relationship & marriage | By: editor

gillette presented this YouTube video on how to keep private area cleaner for guys:

I found it rather informative that they do their commercial with this kind of tips.
and what do other women think about whether guys should shave or not?

Female 1:
hairless is better. it feels better and looks better. my boyfriend use to shave, then he got lazy and quit. at first it hurt me when it started growing back…. like a bush burn.. yuck not fun.
so now im stuck with this fur ball…. or balls, lol.
Female 2:
yes, i love it when they shave cuz it’s cleaner that way and it feels good that way
Female 3:
I think it’s great when guys shave, it makes many things more enjoyable.

So what do you think?

So many ideas for bed design out there, enjoy my favorites among the many styles of bed design:


very modular and flexible molecular bed acting just like the title says =)
this bed is designed by Animi Causa.


Designed by Guido Rosati for Saba Italia, the scoop sofa bed. Semi circular shapes combine into one will make the bed for you or your guest and if separated will still keep a trendy sofa form for the living room - nicely designed to serve its function.


The “fantasy coach bed” a creation inspired by fairy grandmother’s magic from Cinderella story. This bed will surely make your little daughter feel like a princess with its $47,000 price tag.

New way to make money in pet society through mystery box



11 June, 2009 (11:01) | pet society playfish | By: editor

I have been testing this for a while and it works… so I wish to share it with all of you…
just to keep it low though otherwise the developer might banned this method again.

first of you should have a friend whom you can trust to trade with otherwise it won’t work
so here’s how it’s gonna work:
buy a mystery box - open it - don’t like it - then press refresh (F5)
by luck sometime this mystery box will remain unopened after you refresh it will be a mystery box still sitting inside the chest. And if you open it again it will give you that same item that you dislike so you have to gift that mystery box to that someone you trusted and that person upon will receive this gift in their doorstep. That person can open it an if dislike the item press refresh again and it will be in front of their doorstep again and can open it again and will render a new item.
so you can trade mystery boxes with trusted friends and it will make sure you get the item you want
some items from GMB may have big resale value such as 999 coins so good luck on that
for item references please refer to: pet society database.

The Coolest User Interface Experience For Flickr Related Tag Browser Based Image Search



2 June, 2009 (16:18) | Practical Info, others | By: editor

This Flickr Related Tag Browser has the best user interface in term of image search, too bad it only limits the search to all Flickr images’ tags otherwiser it’d have been the perfect browser image search.

All you need to do is type any word i.e. “design” and it will search all Flickr tags and display images associated with those tags. I like how it displays the result:

Enlargement is easily accessible:
You may navigate more pictures by clicking more underneath thumbnail pictures to show more thumbnail pictures and you can click each thumbnail to get a closer preview of the image you select, even better it provide you with a link to the original flickr photo page by clicking the link at the bottom of the image you are currently viewing.

I think this is way better than the old fashioned google image search so start your picture search the fashionable way, hope this help makes you find things easier in a more comfortable way:

Futuristic Product Design Concepts



2 June, 2009 (12:31) | design | By: editor

I found a post titled “100 amazing futuristic design concepts we wish were real” and some of them are pretty cool. These are my favorites from the hundred list:

Cloud Sofa - concept created by designer D.K. Wei.

Futuristic Glass Scanner by Mac Funamizu
This glass will act as a scanner, a digital camera, and an internet-connected wireless device all in one package.

E-Rope modular power strip by Chul Min Kang and Sung Hun Lim
A 2006 Idea Award winning concept. Blue lights on the device glow to indicate power is flowing, and if you rotate the socket section 90 degrees, it turns off the current. What I like about this is the angular design that enable charging many phone adapters in one extension power strips without taking too much space.

Spokeless Wheels Bike by Bradford Waugh.
The concept of spokeless wheels - love it.

Futuristic iPhone Concept by Robert Davis
See-through Apple iPhone concept - I don’t know how to implement this but if it’s happening I think it’s so cool and I wonder if I can use this as a pocket mirror as well =)

Ukranian Model Dasha Astafieva Moving To Playboy Founder Hugh Hefner’s Mansion?



31 May, 2009 (19:58) | others | By: editor

I was watching part of report for Girls Next Door on E! for the first time few days ago. So I just happen to found out the whole thing about Playboy’s founder Hugh Hefner and his three girls living with him in his gorgeous mansion - what a twisted lifestyle I thought… and by end of July 2008 this new Ukranian model named Dasha heard moved into the mansion. Now how will those other three thinks? Life must be sooo overly complicated in the mansion - that’s why that MTV girls next door gain popularity. This 30 minutes show I watched is just about to reveal who will be the winner for the 50 years anniversary Playboy’s new year issue (if I am not mistaken). The winner will be getting a special blue diamond bunny necklace and will be feature in the New Year Issue (January 2009). I suppose this might be  a big dream for any playbol models. The winner was Dasha, bellow is the photo shot that was submitted for the competition:

Actually to me everybody actually look gorgeous, not just her… so sometimes I do wonder what was the decision based on. More over final decision comes from the 82 years old Playboy Founder: Hugh Hefner so must be quite something.

Putting everything aside, Hugh already living with three gorgeous ladies and I have no idea how he deals with all these girls plus their issues - must be quite a mind blowing game as Celebitchy.com mentioned:

It’s got to be hard to keep three women happy. Even as an octogenarian Hef isn’t satisfied with three young gorgeous women. Like a marriage, the familiar gets boring after a while - even if you have three choices.

Now he’s adding the fourth one - a Ukranian beauty into the mansion. I am sure lots of interesting issues will come in between these women.

CocoRose London - a fancy foldable flats for feet’s comfort



31 May, 2009 (18:54) | fashion, shopping | By: editor

My friend recently shared her findings of CocoRose London with me. We both likes to wear our high heels for special events, but of course that little bit part of walking bother us - even just a short walk from the car to our friends’ house BBQ party. I can’t imagine how it would be for women that has to take tubes / subway must be a real pain walking for an event in those killer heels. This foldable flats by CocoRose is very friendly at least it doesn’t appear embarrassing at all because it looks good and secondly it is easy to carry just need to fold them into their fancy small bag (the bag come along with a purchase of every pair of CocoRose).

I am now waiting for the non-bow version of these fancy flaps to come out again. Personally, I am not into the bow stuff - to me it resembles my ballerina practice soles not a fancy flaps. I love the purple silver they pictured on their website header too bad it’s not in stock at the moment. Another good thing about CocoRose is their price point - so much more affordable than Sue London =P
