///backwards///

hopefully, i get to go back where i belong. anywhere in southeast asia, far from here. shitt, i'd even choose the province over friggin' los angeles..














hollywood isn't as fabulous as everyone thinks. in fact, it's pretty fucking ghetto. and i thought the province was ghetto, ha! no way. the real simple life is so much prettier and fresher than los angeles' unwelcoming smog and stress. eh, or maybe i'm just being a fucking tourist and i no longer want to be a minority hahaha!

ok, enough of that, onto more objective subjects now..

so here i was, thinking [gallery hotel] was the coolest shitt to ever hit singapore [see previous posts]. then i thought [scarlet hotel]..
















then the classic [raffles hotel]..














thennn i discovered the [new majestic hotel]..

















my new fucking obsession! sooo going there one day. seriously. if anyone wants to give me the best birthday present ever, send me to the new majestic for a few nights.

also, i wouldn't mind checking out this new [new museum] in new new york..
















a diamond in the rough by [SANAA]. six boxes high and seventy-one feet across. "a museum for contemporary art should be neutral in the character of its gallery spaces, in order to create the widest pallette for the art itself." and twelve dollar general admission.

[margiela] for anonymity, sharpied eyes, and now sunglasses..















l'incognito comes in black, brown, mirrored, or transparent. eight hundred dollars.

i always liked the paper bag waist for high-waisted skirts/shorts ala [prada]..



















but i'm not too sure about that type of waist for jeans..



















[diesel] yoka pants will probably suit those quirky europeans or even quirkier japanese kids, but not the rest of the world. sorry. you guys reached your limit when you started wearing high-waisted jeans, to add another irregular feature to that is just too much. but hey, prove me wrong.

mujirushi ryhohin - "no brand, quality product." less is more. simplicity over complexity. yadayadayada. [muji] for short, the name behind highly useful generic products. i loved muji since i randomly came across that one wall-mounted cd player [which i never got around to buying]..

















now opening their first store in america. will it be successful in this country where brands have proved to be so goddamn important? i mean, i was never much obsessed with designer shitt myself. then i moved to LA, and i can't get rid of this itching daily desire to buy the newest in leatherware. which is actually just a great annoyance cos i'll never be able to afford any of that.

bangalter and homem-christo are from 2007, says america. the rest of the world knows the correct answer is 1997. tania waited seven years to see them live, having only discovered them in 2000. homework was on repeat every morning on the way to school with her brother.










"now raves are accepted, so what's the point of something when the controversy is gone?" true. time to start some new shitt.

[adam kimmel] says, "a good piece should fit into any wardrobe. it shouldn't have that notable, outstanding characteristic that says, 'it's an adam kimmel.'"
















and. if the last three quarters of this post seem strangely familiar to you.. we probably read [the same material].

and i can only hope that you all are familiar with this excerpt..
