Marie Claire, January 2009 - Why you should read It

Marie Claire - The Asian Issue - January 2009

I very excitedly bought a copy of this issue, well for an obvious reason but I was also looking forward to flipping thru its glossy pages as it is 'The Asian Issue'. It was great to see familiar faces, my peers Rain Chan and the classy lady Eloise.

Then One of the stories caught my eye but after the read I felt it rather disturbingly poked my eye. The title of that story read,

'WHITHER MALAYSIA'S SUPERMODEL?'
There used to be a time when we knew our local models by name - Bernie, Kavita, Grace, Ling, Azura. These days, the our predilection for an "international" feel seems to have edged out of the Malaysian model. Ironically, it is the Asian face that is the rage in the West today. So where do our girls stand? Who is our next generation? More importantly will there be one?

So what disturbed me so much you ask? The fact that I was expecting the article to name a few new faces. Well it did, only Angie Ng. Angie Ng is awfully tall and extremely modelesque but I believe there are many other local models that deserve a mention.

The article which quotes a couple of top model agents in Malaysia goes on to say that the current models don't stand out and are not memorable. I would just like to ask "why?"

It shamelessly cites that clients, stylists and photographers like using young Caucasian models.

So does that mean to become a supermodel in Malaysia we have to become a Caucasian? Is that even possible?

Have you ever been to Indonesia Fashion Week? Guess who are the majority of models? Indonesians! China Fashion Week? All Chinese maybe with a token or two Caucasian. India Fashion Week? Indian Models!
How does one even shine when it is already engraved in Malaysian's heads that foreign is better? Who is to blame? Our genetics? How much can a model do alone to stand out? She has to be booked by someone....What does she do if these fellow Malaysians who have the power to say 'What's In and What's Not' imprudently insist on using Russian and Brazillian models?

Does anyone have an answer? Please do get a copy, read and share your feedback.

Killing Me

Oh my god Im so beyond being pissed at the moment. Im bored! I can't seem to log on to gmail since morning. Dear god I have a deadline.... I need to work. This Gmail is testing my patients.
I'm falling asleep. You are wondering...is that a cigar? a candy cane? a giant toothpick?
Im back to getting annoyed at Gmail or how i (used to) fondly call it Google Mail much to my friends' amusement. Im not fond of you anymore Gmail. You suck! That's right!
Back to being bored and zombified. Ah-ha that is a Choki Choki! And thanks to Gmail I'm all out of the only thing that was keeping me awake. You happy now huh Gmail? I've been all excited and positive about the new year even calling it Joyous January this month and there u go pepper spraying my eyes!

Please please...I'm holding on to my sanity. Trying not to curse. I need to use you my dear for work I must.

Grotesque Echoes

You reach across to the glove compartment
I know it's no accident
Your hands brush against my thighs
I look at you, and wonder why
I close my eyes and take a deep breath
Its intoxicating
I feel empty, I feel full
I Exhale.

We step out of the car now
We walk 10 feet a part
I look up at the sky
Dark clouds thirstyly swallow the magenta
I feel like I want to hold you
Around you I am safe
I imagine the warmth of your body against mine
The magenta will mourn the dark clouds
I Inhale.

You try to keep close about 8 feet now
Im walking infront of you
I stop and look at you
Our eyes linger
You know I'm saying 'no'
I look away and keep moving
We reach a grotesque building of somesort
The air is thick and grey
You reach out to hold my hands to keep me safe
I pull my hands away
Im crying now, I keep walking
Drawn into the mouth of that grotesque thing.
I hear it calling to me.

Im inside now.
So many doors.
I turn around, left and right
All I hear is silence
All I see is walls and doors
No light, well just enough to see
I feel someone present with me
Who is it?
I look around frantically
Maybe its just the echo of my thoughts

My ears don't resonate my fast hearbeat
My throat doesn't get tighter
This horrific place feels like home
It's so familiar that I anticipate an occurance
Where is it coming from?
That thing that is making my heartbeat faster
That thing that is making it hard to swallow
I want it to show itself
In my head now are memories
Memories of you
Memories of all of them
I truly do love you, all of you
Not a heart I meant to shred
But still I want to see this
This thing that dwells in such grotesque a place
This thing that clutches my heart
This thing that thickens my saliva
This thing that I can't see with my eyes
But feel with every inch upto the end of my hairs

It gets intense now
Heart pounds faster
Pupils dilate
I feel as though I might faint
I clutch at my chest and
And I feel something peering at me
Frozen. I turn around
It is hideous
I want to be sick on its repulsiveness
I grow pale
That monster and me are eye to eye now
His green mishapen body perched upon a broken roman like pillar
He is not very big at all
About 3 feet.

He peers into my thoughts with his red eyes
His razor sharp shark like teeth on display
Sadistic is his grin that beckons me toward him
I speak to this creature
Trying to be as confident as I can
As much as it repulses me I can't deny the sense of familiarity
It has a man's voice but very loud
Every word that comes out of its mouth drains me more
It still smiles at me
Why am I talking to this feindish thing?
I turn to walk away

At the side of my eye I see the green thing go
'Go ego. Leave me. Never come back'
I'm set free!
Blood rushes back to my face and limbs
Till the tips of my hair
Just as my lips curl into a smile
Air is sucked out of me
Eyes wide open
Throat tight
Heart still
One of the doors swing open
I run towards it
There is a body
A body on the floor
I'm trembling all over
'No its not him. It can't be. Please god. No'
I recite this as I get nearer.

Alas! My deepest fear lies before my very eyes
You lie bare and lifeless before me
Green
Poisoned by a monster
I kneel before you my forbidden lover
As you lie there just as you were when we first met
13 years ago
Only now you lay lifeless
Lifeless and green
Greened by the monster
The Egoistic monster that kneels before you

Photoshoot - Lee Ann Maxima

Recently I did a shoot for Le Ann Maxima. Yeah I kinda did mention it before but without elaboration cos well ya know I was talking bout 'eggs' and how you shouldn't count the chickens.
Well the shoot was pretty neat. Loads n loads of outfits that we actually stopped counting after outfit number 4 or 5 or so.
The place where all this took place was at The Eagle Ranch Resort. We left Berjaya Times Square at about 8.45pm the night before. As we entered PD I thought we had already reached, but to my surprise it was a long way more inside PD.
You would expect that we were greated by something 'Western' like cow boy-ish but Noooooooooooo. There were karaokers! (if thats a word) There were 2 different karaoke groups going on at the same time. Both that would make Simon Cowell stare with his eyes wide open in disbelief(yeah that horrified face he does when some people come to the auditions thinking they can actually sing). Oh that's not the best part of it, the song was this Malay song Gadis Melayu or something like that "siapa bilang gadis melayu tak menawan, tak meranik hati..." (well he did add a "yeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaa" at the end, I would have to give him some credit for that!)

Ok after checking in we drove over to where we were to stay. The Bandwagon. It looked amazing n huge from the outside. We were all excited but then....we soon realised that it houses 4 rooms! We went in and it was really puny. Yong the designer and the one who was incharge of the shoot then asked us if we were ok with it. We were like ..."yea ok" but that's just cos we were being nice.
His other 2 colleague were quick to say "No its not!" and saved the day. Hehe. So the guys got another room. We freshend up and headed for dinner at about 11 ish. We were really famished and worn out that when Yong introduced us all I don't think everyone got everyones name 100%. Well at first I thought maybe its just me...but when I went to the room and asked the girls they didn't get all the names either!
I tried quite hard to sleep that night and when I finally did it was time to wake up already. I was first awakened by my alarm which I purposely set earlier so I could snooze it, but was rudely awakened by some strange alarm that was a strange lady's voice singing a strange song about how she misplaced something.... I swear it was created to annoy you out of sleep. But I dont like to be annoyed out of sleep. So i tried to close my eyes n get a few winks n get up. But no...that woman didn't stop singing! And the worst part is we all seemed to be waiting for each other to wake up first. Finally I was the first to get out of bed.
Since I was the first to get ready I was the first to shoot. After that Aimee joined me. Then Kit. Then we saw the white horse we were to shoot with. At first we were fascinated, then disgusted. Why? It was a male horse, need I say more? I dunno I'm not sexist and I love animals, but I just find male animals obscene... put it away stallion! Thank god that that 'thing' dissapeared in time for the shoot. Dah la i berdiri belakang! eeks!It seemed like it was gona rain and we had what seemed like truck load of outfits to shoot. We actually considered sticking some chilli upright. Its said that that would stop it from raining, I read somewhere that during weddings people actually do that. But maybe a Bomoh would have been a better bet =p
Thanks to the unpredictable weather the shoot progressed faster and faster. Once we were done in the resort we moved on to the sea side. There we panjat-panjat pokok (climb climb trees) and also got bitten by some creature in the sea. I called them sea mosquitoes simply cos that's what I think they are called. heh =p After that it was a wrap just as the sun set! It was perfect timing. When we got back to the car though we discovered that some creep had thrown to girls' slippers into the sea! How evil right? Yong then was the super hero who saved the damsels or rather thier slippers. He walked into the water at high tide, it came up as far as his waist. Kinda scary thing to do for a slipper. Kit was standing at the side shouting "don't". But hero didn't listen and was back with the slippers.
We then ended the trip with a nice seafood dinner and headed back to kl. We stopped by at Syomir's house cos yours truly really really was paralyzed with the need to go wee wee. What can I say his apartment was so gorgeous. Kinda like watching MTV Cribs. Very tasteful! And he also had these 2 fluffy siamese cats that were soooooo OTT adorable. I wana go visit again and take pics! he he

The campaign should be out spring/summer next year. Can't wait =)

Here is my post for Tongue in Chic Mag. Sama tapi sumpah tak serupa =)
