Noblesse Oblige
2009-03-19 14:38:00 Noblesse Oblige Since time immemorial, the ruling class gains power from their subjects in an understanding that they will exercise such authority to protect and foster their community, be it a village, a town, a city, a country or an empire. A great king would know better than to keep all the resources to himself where a... Continue reading More About: Culture , Promenade

From Here to Hyères: A Young Designer?s Journey
2008-09-18 17:20:00 It feels as if only yesterday that I, sur les champs, Parisian for ?on the avenue des Champs-Elysées?, first met Titipon ?Titi? Chitsantisook one morning, early afternoon for mere mortals to be exact, when it?s already been two years. Titi to me was, whether he considers himself to be or not, a good example of a young hipster?s charm; very contemporary... Continue reading More About: Shopping , Culture , Journey , Young , Designer

This is MAJOR
2007-12-12 13:25:00 I’m still laughing out loud with what I found. I was youtube whoring today and whilst searching for something “Marie Antoinette” I stumbled upon this Uber-hilarious clip of a British TV Series by the same team that created AB FAB. This crazy little thing is called “Let Them Eat Cake.” It mocks everyone around The Court of Versailles during the pre-revolutionary era by both witticism and slapsticks. The ensemble is priceless. The... Continue reading More About: Culture , Major

Flora and Fauna
2007-08-28 17:06:00 Can’t believe it’s been almost a month now with Flor a and Fauna … In Paris, the only Flora i know is Cafe de Flore on boulevard Saint Germain while the only fauna there is hideous Pigeons. I really recommend all the Chinese traiteurs/restaurants there cook it to cut cost! In Thailand, you won’t get flora and fauna in the concrete forest of Bangkok, but in...

A little bit of French
2007-08-16 18:01:00 Today I get to really speak French again after I left Paris.

Mother?s Day
2007-08-14 18:30:00 In Thailand, the 12th of August is our Mother ’s Day and the Birthday of the Queen. It is the Western fashion of giving a day to someone such as Mother’s day, Father’s day, Teacher’s day, and even Children’s day. I’m in some sort of a limbo… No special day is dedicated to me YET! Such a day as Mother’s or Father’s day... Continue reading More About: S Day

Ayudhya
2007-08-09 15:51:00 Before Bangkok became capital city of Siam (Thailand) over 200 years ago, there was Ayudhya. That 700 years old city was burnt down by the Burmese after we lost a war.

Disappointement
2007-07-04 01:17:00 I’m most appalled by the spring/summer 2008 Dior Homme under the lead of Kirs van Assche. I miss the energy that Hedi Slimane always put in the collections. This post-Slimane collection is just too yawn-making for words. The power of the youth is over. Now all I see is the same old Bankers the pre-Slimane Dior used to be. Surely there...

Jean Paul Gaultier

Last year I got multiple orgasms from seeing all the work from Cristobal Balenciaga, the “master” of Haute Couture. Now it features work of the French “Enfant Terrible“ Jean Paul Gaultier. I was impressed and amazed by this exhibition that I took as many photos as I could until the Dragon Lady... Continue reading More About: Shopping , Culture , Promenade 1, 2, 3, 4 |
