Bazaar Sale

The thing with Club 21 Bazaar Sale is this. Always err on the wrong side. Buy now. Decide later.


Or so it seems.

Where else in Singapore can you witness lovely girls in various stages of undress. Outside the changing room. But the damn thing is, they are wearing "safety" clothings underneath.

Anyway, was there for a couple of hours. Felt like 20 when it was more like 2. The queue in the forenoon was terrible. Snaking out of the function room onto the corridor.

V had a day out. I was completely knackered by the time dinner was over. I'm not a monosyllabic bf when it comes to shopping. I have my good days and there are bad ones. On a good day, I can do about 4 hours. On a bad day, I can do 4 seconds. I go beyond the "not bad" comment. Constructively.

Hell, I even tell her that her new blue (a brilliant azure varietal, hahaha) pullover is probably a spillover from fashion week. It wasn't Chanel. It was Versace. Chanel did have a dress that colour though. but Versace had that coat that was all over the news about Versace going minimalist. I go on about pairing her tops with her bottoms. I'm not particularly good with that. But at least I go beyond "yeah, that one looks good. can we go now?"

There are certain clothing items and materials which V will never touch with a ten-foot pole. There are some which I think will look brilliant on her. So I will need some convincing to do.

There's a new marc jacobs bag which might strike V's whimsical fancy. She does like certain che che new york and kate spade bags. Introducing Miss Marc Katie!

Haha, on Thursday night, I was telling her about tokidoki LeSportsac and she said she had a cheong version from Taipei.... I like the idea behind tokidoki because Simone Legno is a fantastic artist in his own right. Being Italian and all, to have his anime-inspired art warmly received by the Japanese is really cool.


It's unlike what Murakami did for LV. How hot is it right now? According to a reliable source (Jados), every Japanese girl right now flips out a tokidoki when they are in the toilet touching up. I exaggerate.

Anyway, the last time a Bazaar sale of this quality (size matters) was in 2003. So it's been 4 years since. It was at the same location. Except the hotel was then known as Concorde. Now it's Holiday Inn Atrium.
