Alexander Wang and Rodarte to Live Stream Fall 2010 Presentations

The Only Thing Better than Marilyn Singing is Marilyn Knitting!

I'm breezing through my MARILYN: The Premiere Collection dvd set, which includes seventeen of her movies. I had to see The Seven Year Itch twice in a row, it was so clever. I finished Let's Make Love yesterday, and I loved the knitting props. Marilyn's character knits in between show rehearsals. And in her opening number, she has on nothing but a lavender sweater and nylons. She does the no pants look extremely well.

Yours Til Niagara Falls

This is such a thoughtful and romantic Valentine's Day gift idea, especially since I love writing letters. BROOKLYNrehab finds vintage postcards of Niagara Falls and tucks them in a printed YOURS 'TIL NIAGARA FALLS sleeve. When I think of Niagara Falls, I think of Marilyn Monroe and her role in Niagara. So stylish and so tragic.

DISCLAIMER: Movie poster on the top right is for reference only. It just happens to be the same size as the postcard for sale.

Mini Food Log

By no means extensive, but I can't leave unnoticed the varied dining possibilities in Hong Kong, whether it be British, Japanese or Cantonese. There's something for every palate!

Year of the Tiger

It's exciting to be in Asia for the new year - it's going to be quite a celebration. There are already such elaborate and festive displays everywhere you go. Just take a look at these amazing tigers. The second group is made out of blossoms!

Hello Kitty Celebrates 35th Anniversary

In honor of Hello Kitty's 35th Anniversary, 7-11 and Sanrio released 35 collectable charms available only in Hong Kong. For every $20 HKD spent, you get one stamp. Spend $30 and you get two stamps, spend $40 and you get three stamps, and so on. To receive one charm, you can either collect five stamps and fork over an extra $20 OR collect 15 stamps. Today I turned in my stamps and received charm #5, the Cup & Saucer. The bracelet is a separate purchase, which costs $128. I'm pretty happy with the charm by itself though.
