of louis vuitton island maison singapore opening (photos, videos)

Dejiki Nicholas was invited to the launch of the Louis Vuitton Island Maison yesterday. He has posted a field report in his blog and taken a lot of photos.
I’m back after spending an evening at the Louis Vuitton Island Maison at Marina Bay Sands. It was an exclusive preview and there are certainly less than a hundred guests within this gigantic store, leaving my family to tour the Maison rather peacefully with our very sweet and charming guide. In short, this store IS amazing. While I’ve been to the other stores in Singapore and the two Maison stores at Hong Kong, there is just something special about the Island Maison.The store feels like a mix between a museum and a luxury cruise liner (especially with the Mezzanine level which does resemble a ship’s deck).

Celebrities invited to the event include Cate Blanchett, Shin Min Ah, Kwon Sang Woo, Mr and Mrs Chow Yun Fatt, Zhao Wei, Nat Ho to name a few.

Victoria's Secret Photochops Another Model: See the photo below of Candice Swanepoel posted at Victoria's Secret.
The Photochoppers over at everyone's favorite lingerie brand did quite a number on model Candice Swanepoel's left side, where her waist meets her arm. We wish we could just, oh say, whittle ourselves down like that pre-summer and step out in a bandeau top. Alas, it's slightly more complicated when you're dealing with actual human anatomy. Bummer!

of vajazzling, a new concept in vaginal adornment (nsfw)

I Got Vajazzled (and had a camera crew): Bryce Gruber of The Luxury Spot gets Vajazzled. It's a trend that 'decorates' your privates.

Read more to find out what Vajazzling is all about. (A bit NSFW)


A few weeks ago we wrote a post on Vajazzling, a relatively new concept in vaginal adornment. It’s exactly what it sounds like- bedazzling for your vajayjay. The trend exploded when Jennifer Love Hewitt announced that she Vajazzles regularly to feel good about her privates. It took mere minutes for bloggers to go wild in pursuit of real Vajazzling pics. Alas, there were none to be found on Google. Until the lovely team at Spa Week Daily called me up and said “Bryce, we know you’re at the forefront of Vajazzling… you’re basically the authority on the subject, any chance we can send you down to Completely Bare Spa in NYC to actually get it done?”

of ralph lauren model filippa hamilton: i was fired because i was too fat!

Ralph Lauren model Filippa Hamilton: I was fired because I was too fat!: Filippa Hamilton said her contract was terminated in April because she was 'overweight'. In a recent altered (or photoshopped) Ralph Lauren ad, the model's hips appeared slimmer than her head. The 5-foot-10, 120-pound Hamilton has worked for Ralph Lauren since 2002 and considered the company like a second family.


Filippa Hamilton says she was fired for being 'overweight.' The Ralph Lauren ad on the right
Ralph Lauren's clothing company fired the model whose body looked emaciated in a touched-up ad because she weighed too much, the woman told the Daily News Tuesday.

Filippa Hamilton - whose hips appeared slimmer than her head in the recent altered ad - said her contract was terminated in April because she was too heavy
Filippa said,
They fired me because they said I was overweight and I couldn't fit in their clothes anymore. I was shocked to see that super skinny girl with my face. It's very sad, I think, that Ralph Lauren could do something like that. I think they owe American women an apology, a big apology. I'm very proud of what I look like, and I think a role model should look healthy.
