Last Saturday was my Japanese surfer chick friend Akiko’s farewell party. She’s in hospitality, and now she’s off to slave away in a resort hotel in the Maldives. So I got to FINDS to join the party, but there’s no Akiko. I asked everyone in the group where Akiko is, and...

The week before, I took Bryanboy to Yung Kee for the goose, and before his interview appeared in my mag, I’m on his blog. Ah, the superspeed of cyberspace over traditional print media. I felt the power of his dot com as I got all these “OMG You’re on Bryanboy LOL” emails and...

Thursday was reserved for Marc Jacobs at MasterCard LUXURY WEEK, where Bryanboy, fashion blogger and muse (hello, MJ made and named a bag after him) was flown in and sat on Section B, Row 1, Seat 2. I was Section C, Row A, Seat 15. Which means we were Front. Row. Center. Thank YOU-Arigato-Meherbani...
Last Friday, I went to a birthday bash at this huge Indian compound in Kowloon Tong. Apparently, “everyone” was talking about the bash all last week. Blame Facebook. Nothing’s private anymore. That’s why the birthday girl just texted me and asked me to leave her family name...

Hi bitches! If you feel like there’s much too much information emanating from me, just skip this self-important and overly opinionated column and move on to Barfly. It’s a great section! Yes, love you too. Friday night, I was at Linq and DJ Le Libertin was playing some mad, mad music....

Last Saturday, all the gay men in town were lining up outside the alley by Propaganda to get some. Why? The natural result of watching that topless, testosterone-dripped mantertainment from the Mr. Hong Kong contest on TVB Jade. Even starlet Yumiko went there after the show to manifest her destiny...

A fine layer of dust covered everything in the office. The toy company next door has left so we took over the place and knocked down the walls over the weekend. Phase one complete. Next, the whole building. Of course nobody bothered to tell us to cover up all our desks with plastic. WTF? After a...

There was an UNDERCOVER party at Adrenaline last Friday, supported by Silly Thing. That’s the dark + kawaii Tokyo label that’s taken Paris by storm. PRs A-Vibe told me that 50 fashionistas RSVP’d (including moi) the day that the invite was mailed out. Usually, we RSVP like two...

So I went to the Viktor & Rolf for Shu Uemura’s Tokyo Lash Bar 2008 Party at Watermark, Pier No. 7. They had two bars with theatrical fake lashes and all the ladies lined up to have their eyes fabulized. So did I. “Just something subtle for Nightlife,” I told the eye make-up...
