if to wake up early
it has not rained for a month in Hyderabad
cyber city builds away despite the crisis
Poison rocks
dance floor at Poison
6 am photo hunts around a dried up lake ended with a late night in the city. Poison with its with giant bouncers and glass floors is something else. Where some of the drinks were really sucky, trance and food rocked. I am definitely a believer.
A piece by Charu Parashar from the Indian Fashion Week 2008 (pic from Rediff News)
Juicy colors of the Land of the Pretty encouraged me to look up Indian fashion designers. I remember reading in the Economist long time ago that Indian fashion industry mostly sticks to the local market and does not yet make a furror internationally. Truly, I have found close to nothing on Indian fashion in the Western Media, but found lots of badly compiled reports in the Indian online editions. Dude, if there is one Indian industry that could be taken to a new level with ease, it’s fashion, especially its online representation. I see mountains of work for webdesigners and SEO specialists, but is there demand?
There is though one Western lady who is really into “Indian” fashion. She freaked me out in the mall the other day. Gee, and I thought I left her in New York.
Barbie in Hyderabad Central
first things first – i have discovered Kawakubo for myself today. hotttt.
Rei Kawakubo of Commes des Garçons. Autumn/Winter 2009/10. Paris
secondly, in case you are not in the mood for some more Barbie stuff, here it comes.
Spotted: Barbie keeps celebrating her 50th bday in West Village.
the fluffy stuff in the lower right corner is Barbie’s new amazing outfit. it’s almost Kawakubo.
i can't quite tell whether Barbie's taste gets better and better every year, or stays the awesome same
Another piece from Fall/Winter 2009 by Kawakubo
more of this Japanese designer’s stuff on NY Mag.
P.S. if i ever have a female child, and if she is allowed to play with stickdolls, I will give them to her naked. no corrupting child’s taste with ugliness.
I like politics and econ news because it is good gossip. Rolling out of bed, I check my blackberry for relevant facebook activity (gossip), weather updates (aka what to wear) and read WSJ mobile reader (BIG gossip). I recommend WSJ and this lovely reader to all who want to elevate rumors in their life to a new level – I am getting at that “people familiar with the situation said” business in every other WSJ article. TheSuperficial.com, on the other hand, would never allow itself to publish unverified information. You can read it via your berry Internet browser while brushing your teeth since coffee time is reserved for those 70 emails, half of which are from Born and Sephora.
Blackberry is also a very useful tool for live shopping and spying – you can take a picture of the object of interest and send the image to any of your gossip girl friends. Here is what my berry saw on a mini shopping spree in New York City today.
Chinatown fish shops are awesome!
UniQlo is addictive for those who are obsessive (i.e. me)
I don't buy Indian fastfood, but this shelf was prettier than the one with the spices
I promise more pictures next time my berry wanders around SoHo. Here are two pics of wintry NYC since the eternal wisdom of Alice calls for them: “What is the use of a book, without pictures or conversations?”
I grew towards loving the Piano Building
A rare moment of snowed in benches near the City Hall
berry randomness that got saved up over the past 3 months
Clearly if you have come to check out my blog, you are bored out of your mind and have no life. A game from this week’s Economist might be a better alternative for wasting your time. I also recommend The Cyberiad by Stanislaw Lem, which is something like The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, but 10 times shorter.
