lesson #003: red is the new black

Ever since I bought the empire red top (well, yesterday), I've been having cravings for red stuff. Like this red postman bag from Dorothy Perkins, and red nail lacquer dusted with gold. Such a classy, old-money combi - red and gold! Yet it's a look that's hard to pull off, 'tis a fine line between stylish and tacky.

Since we're on the subject of colours, I've just uploaded the piccies from Jess's Pink Cadilac party. She really did a good job on decor, I think everyone was wowed. Pink lights, pink streamers to greet us, and of course... bring on the bunny ears!

With the birthday girl. Babe, you look sooo hot in this picture!



With Kunz, who's the mastermind of the coming dance outing on Fri.


This bunny's hungry!


More dance girls!


My best dance biatches, doing our trademark do-re-mi pose.


With Gary. The shutter didn't open properly, resulting in this artsy-ish picture. Doesn't it look like the vision of someone whose eyelids aren't fully open?


The boys complained about having to take pictures for us all of the time, so I took one for them to shut them up.


Yang & Gary attempting to be cool bouncers. I think Gary can pull off the preppy look!


All together now! Taken during the cake-cutting. Jess's cake had a tiara on it! Just what every bitch princess needs. Haha.

On to other pink items. Went walking around Orchard with Gary after work today, and as I urgently need conditioner, bought L'oreal Elseve Nutri-Gloss (it's a new product apparently) which is packaged in a pretty hot pink bottle. Tried it just now and I must say... IT IS GOOD. It makes your hair feel really soft and smooth, and you can feel the difference straight away after just one wash. This is one HOT item that I'll recommend to everyone.

As mentioned in yesterday's entry, I bought Belkin's Sport Sleeve for iPod Nano ($19.90). At first I intended to buy the original iPod pink armstrap but that one costs $50++ and it doesn't even protect the iPod entirely. Belkin's one, however, is one hot value-for-money momma. It doesn't look half-bad and it's not as flimsy as the original iPod armstrap. Sometimes, Function must overrule Style. As long as Function isn't butt-ugly.

After visiting the Apple merchandise shop at Cine, Gary and I stopped to look at the Singapore Idol meet-n-greet which was happening just outside Cine. I'm intrigued by the guy who has hair covering half of his face mainly because I'm frustrated that he doesn't seem to intend to chop off that damn hair any time soon. By the by, for the past two weeks that I've followed Singapore Idol, something kept niggling on my mind and I finally realized what. It's the vision of Gurmit Singh decked in V-neck tees a la Topman. Plus he's got a 40-year-old face but the hair of a teenager. Why? Why? Why don't they give him a more fitting look? Mediacorp seems to be trying too hard to appeal to the younger generation.

Aaaaanyways. Looking forward to tomorrow - dinner with Yang and Zhi after work followed by a solo dance session @ SMU Concourse. Boo hoo. Hopefully Gary will be going to the gym so that he can see me twirling all over the place while I can see him huffing and puffing after only ten minutes on the cycling machine (haha).
