i've no problems with their huge pay hike and see most of the logic
but this is a developed country still without a minimum wage
so before that happens, everything else is plain bull crap

fashion is spinach film series
fashion is spinach is having its second screening this coming saturday, 14 april! i heard about its first screening when it was already over and done with (being the super irregular blog-reader me... sigh), and then i've 3 short trips abroad these few weekends, and so i can forget about catching this second one as well...argh! but hey! YOU can! if you're in singapore (^__~)
go here -- www.fashionisspinach.com
and here -- www.fashionisspinach.com/2007/03/on-with-show.html
for more delightful information!
if you don't already know, "Ms. Spinach is a fashion writer, photoblogger and rampant overspender currently living in Asia. Fashion is Spinach dot com is her blog focusing on interesting design, quirky finds and personal style--just like its namesake book. Sort of."
this second screening will be showing unzipped - "a documentary that follows Isaac Mizrahi as he preps for a big collection and runway show. Tons and tons of cameos, and a great behind-the-scenes look at putting together a collection. Plus! It was shot in the mid-1990s so the fashion concepts are a little ridiculous."
the screening will be at the pitch black, be there from 7:30pm onwards to have some yummy brownies and socialise. otherwise, the film starts at 8.30pm. seats are limited, and ms. spinach recommends that you rsvp her. and you will also have the chance to catch ms. spinach in something pink, bright, and ostentatious. so she divulges. hee
and there's also a raffle prize to give away to the audience! ta-da! a littleoddforest leaf wristlet, in a vintage blue-colored kimono fabric with textural touch. much thanks to ms. spinach who has kindly asked lof for sponsorship!
that's all for now, folks! back to slogging in my sweatshop workshop.... ha!

Bluebell woods...
I havent been posting as much as I would like lately. I am still trying to get the last few jobs done in the "new" house and of course there has been the garden to attend to which has been a huge job. Every time I try to get on with a job, I end up wandering around thinking " do I really like that cupboard there?" or " I think I need a different frame for the picture". I think some weird perfectionist qualities are slowing me down so just for a bit of relaxation, I have decided to share a couple short video clips with you.
Its almost that time of year again when the bluebells begin to come out which reminded me of last year when we visited one of our favorite "secret" spots ( not so secret actually). As it happens, this wood is right down the road from our house now. It is so beautifully decorated with little white wood anemones and wild primroses right now but it is also covered with the leaves of the bluebells, billions of them. It shouldnt be long before the whole woods is once again a carpet of the richest blue. This wonderful place also has fields of foxgloves amongst other wildflowers. The video clips are from last year and shows just a tiny portion of this magical place.
