head in the clouds

I was browsing through my (VERY LONG) list of bookmark-ed sites when I found this pretty pastel cloud bag. Very Hermès-esque, but I can't remember where this is from (unfortunately!). Suddenly looking at the cloud print reminded me of the time back in 2007 or 2008 when I accidentally found a very random site called The Cloud Appreciation Society. Of course, the graphics and layout of the site is much much, much better looking today than it was back in 2007 or 2008 when it consisted mostly of html.


more cloudy goodness to love!

its not wrong to want inspiration

I've been having these huge lot of tabs open on my browser for days and I don't know where or how to fit them in together. The the biggest problem for a blogger is not finding what to blog about, but more of how to fit these things that you've found so that you put more of yourself into the post and don't look or sound like you're a lousy reblogger.

So anyway I really have no idea how to fit them, but this way. for now. If I find a better way I may remove those bits out, but for now.. :)

Inspired by..

Martine






my all time favourite illustration as a kid. i googled it and apparently there are LOADS of books on it. I owned the translated version in Bahasa Malaysia (the original is in French) and there are less than 20 in the translated series. :(
Fun fact, according to The Forbidden Planet's Blog, the late Michael Jackson apparently had a thing for Marcel Marlier's Martine illustrations and the quoted his artwork as:

"Marlier’s art has always been loved by young girls and loathed by their parents for their combination of almost photo-realistic rendering and sugar-coated sweetness."

"The stories themselves are typically non-threatening and quite sociologically conservative and conformist in nature, placing them, along with Barbie, right in the firing line of many a generational class in so-called progressive households in the 70’s."

Yeah, she's my version of Barbie doll.. in drawings ;) pretties illustrations ever.♥
Oh btw, in the Malay version, Martine is known as Martini. :D

Heapload of Lolita-inspired Cuteness

Orange Caramel - Magic Girl MV Teaser


Orange Caramel (오렌지캬라멜) - 마법소녀 (Magic Girl)
o_o didn't know After School could do this, kinda freaky at first. Luckily the clothes were not on Gah Hee or else.. eck! culture shock. Apparently they are going to have more divisions and this Orange Caramel targeted at the Asian market. Wonder if its gonna work. It even comes complete with the lolita hats, puffy dresses, splash of pink, glitter and bows ._. The Koreans are turning more Japanese by the day.

Plus, the ending of the video reminded me of Maryna Linchuk in the Miss Dior Cherie ad from 2009
