The Simpsons Embrace Couture

In the days leading up to the world premier of The Simpsons Movie, Homer and his family leave Springfield to experience the high-fashion life in the city of lights. They had the privilege to appear alongside some of the most revered designers of our time in an eight-page fashion spread in the August issue of Harper's Bazaar. The spread also features Bart's favourite supermodel, Linda Evangelista.



Living the luxe life



Donned in Versace gowns
Marge's very tamed hair brings out the sultry side of her.



Homer, not missing a beat, suits up ala Karl Lagerfeld.



Lisa, dressed in Lanvin, ups herself by swapping her white-beaded necklace with Alber Elbaz.



Not to be outdone by their sister, Selma and Patty models in Viktor&Rolf.
*a line from Avril Lavigne's 'Girlfriend' comes to mind...
"What the hell were you they thinking?"



Maggie in the arms of Gaultier
I am officially jealous.



Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton


It hardly comes as a surprise that everyone would want a piece of The Simpsons since their move from small town Springfield to the big screen in Hollywood. Say hello to superstardom, folks.

controversial, no?

This is what materialises when the term 'Fashion Junkie' is taken in its literal sense.



As interesting and creative as I first thought the ad was, there is something very disturbing about it too.

I don't know if it's the languid expression of the model on the right or the other one, 'snorting' cocaine ala white vest or the message this ad would send out to girls who're blindly emulating models/celebs.

Do you also notice the Chase credit card lying next to the vest with (what I hope is flour/powder made to look like) cocaine scattered on top of it? That, people, is a heavy law suit waiting to happen. I highly doubt that the Bank had agreed to this. Which corporate finance company would (be suicidal enough to) want to be associated with narcotics? Can't be good for business, dude.

As for risque advertising, this is by far the most controversial one I've stumbled upon.

*Sigh... Can I blame this on Eve?

to divine appointment

and a friendship fashioned by God.

And also because I just miss you very much, can. This is dedicated to you. I know your bulu roma sure naik one coz you're so not the mushy-mushy type but I don't care! I feeling nostalgic wei...

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)


i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you


here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart


i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Blessed 24th dearie.

'shopablog'

ever since the fj benjamin warehouse sale, i've been shopping nonstop. this is particularly unusual in my case because i'm really more of a 'window-shopaholic'; linh-chi can attest to that. she, on the other hand, is the real slim shady deal

speaking of that cheeky woman (you have been warned), i am positive that she infected me with the shopaholic bug.*looks accusingly at lc*
nonetheless, it was heaps fun having her here. and thanx to her, i've (over the past few days/weeks) acquired a number of outfits, of which i will post next.

on this so-called 'shopablog' of mine, i will feature some of the stores i frequent; from high street fashion brands to departmental stores to the quaint little boutiques you see sprouting all over south east asia.

so, here's my first proper xanga post for public viewing. i hope you'll enjoy what is to come.

*this will double up as my shopping log so i can keep tab of the amount of damage i incur
