fashionista or fashion terrorist

is the title of the article i found on daum discussing the men’s suit with sneaker combo.

this new-yet not so new fashion fad seems to be the rage amongst korean male celebs who are/who want to be/or think they are avante-garde.

i think its a cute look but i think it depends on the occasion (one thing i know is ~those man-heels that the stars be sportin’ these days are …

BONUS:

the fashionista couple of the moment

(i like them b/c the are quirky and interesting to look at)

Fingertip Gloves: fashion or fashion faux pas

happy halloween! well, maybe not yet… but i’ve been really excited for halloween 2008 since i get to partay it up in the N.Y. to the C. (does this make me chonseuruhwuh [country bumkinish]?)

so… i’ve been having this big urge to rock some type of gloves with my costume – my two options are fingerless gloves or FINGERTIP gloves, which i have been wanting to try out.  i think these are going to get some mixed reviews.

what do you think? hit or miss?

these can be picked up @ patriciafield.com

these gloves had been featured in SATC on carrie and on members of the k-pop group Jewelry during their One More Time days

yes? yes? yes?!!

enjoy!

vogue korea {movie}

these photos featuring acting machine cho seung woo (of marathon and tazza fame ex-bf of kang hye jung-old boy) and the lovely shin mina (big bang’s TOP’s rumored love) are oldies (in the k-industry ent news) but decided to share because i think they are goodies.

the promoting their new film GO GO 70′s

enjoy~!

p.s. this is slightly off the topic, but on the topic of KANG HYE JUNG of Old Boy … everytime I see pictures of her, i ask myself, actually i want to ask her… why? why? why?! (she had a great “mask” face to be a film star with tons or character and mehryuk, but now she’s just cute – i can’t see her old face at all!)

Shin Ae does Allure Korea

glammed up shin ae (we got married/previous lee minwoo lover) looking fahhhhbooolous in her spread for allure korea.

fashion/beauty/entertainment critics usually give her points for being one of the few natural beauties in the korean entertainment industry but they also slam her for being unconventionally larger than the other actress in the industry.

i’ve never been a fan or a hater of shin ae but i have to admit… her face is gorgeous here.

enjoy!

BONUS: shin ae cyworld

man-skirt/he-skirt…

or whatever the correct name may be… HOT or NOT?! (personally a big N to the O to the T for me).

So Ji Sup aka known as So Gan-Ji (ganzi/ganji meaning stylish) turned up at his movie premiere of Movie is a Movie sportin’ a man-skirt. From the top, he’s still a hottie, but from the waist down… its a nottie. keke. =p

I think Kang Jin Hwan (Hong Gil Dong) – SJS co-star in the film is looking pretty smexy as well but his bottom is a nono too. (skinny acid jeans on a 30+ is a thumbs down and let’s save it for the teenagers/20s).  Anywhoo.. they are both very yummy eye candy!. ow~!

pics from the premiere of a Movie is a Movie

p.s. anyone remember Kim Won Jun [circa early to mid 1990s]? he was the originator/populator (is that a word? =p) of the chi-mah (skirt) fashion for men in Korea. on a side note: he’s also bffs with actor Ryu Shi Won.

Kate Moss Joins Gild: Mega-Statue Museum-Bound

Gina SerpeThu Aug 28, 4:19 AM ET

Someone has taken Kate Moss’ role as fashion’s golden girl rather literally.

British sculptor Marc Quinn is ready to unveil his latest creation to the world, a nearly $2.8 million, 110-pound solid gold statue of the supermodel, hyped as the largest such creation built since ancient Egypt.

Quinn, the artist behind 2006′s Sphinx, a painted bronze statue of Moss in a somewhat provocative yoga pose, has dubbed his new golden girl Siren.

And the British Museum has already heeded its call.

While the venerable London museum has so far only released a close-up photo of the statue’s face, the work purportedly shows Moss, once again, in the same contorted yoga pose as before.

“I thought the next thing to do would be to make a sculpture of the person who’s the ideal beauty of the moment,” Quinn said of his fabulously excessive creation. “But even Kate Moss doesn’t live up to the image.”

The British public will be able to determine for itself whether the statue succeeds where Moss apparently failed, with the objet d’art going on display in the the same British Museum gallery that houses the institution’s ancient Greek sculpture collection.

The statue will be on display from Oct. 4 through Jan. 25.
