MTV Asia Awards is back! I attended the first two MAAs back in 2002 and 2003. You know what, I had one of the best time of my life at the awards. The energy levels were insanely high. The crowd went nuts and screamed their lungs out. Here’s a funny story: I actually sang Bon Jovi’s It’s My Life at The Heeren stage to win my pair of tickets to the first MAA in Singapore. Then, I danced at Hard Rock Cafe Singapore to get seal my seat next to Avril Lavigne and behind Blue in 2003. Talk about cheap thrills. This year, I was offered an all-expense paid trip to MAA - but I couldn’t make it because of my HK trip. Oh well. Let’s see what the stars are wearing at the event held in Genting Highlands, Malaysia:

Jared Leto and co-host, Karen Mok, looking awesome. The MTV VJs aren’t looking too bad themselves, except for Utt - what is with that curry puff hair-do!

VJ Taya and Zhu Zhu both look ultra hot!

Is Leona Lewis preggers or something? Amanda (from Electrico) looks super cute in her new hair!

Yikes! That’s a yellow/purple disaster! However, I like the black and white couple.

These guys are geeky adorable! Not feeling all-white though.

Are you Panic! at the Disco? I heart funky blazers.

Give the Pussycat Dolls some love - man, they can look trashy sometimes. Or, is that the whole idea?

I’m seeing too many black and white. B-O-R-I-N-G.

Let the show begin. Take those chopsticks off your hair, Karen!

The Night Festival at the Singapore National Museum started about two weekends ago. Studio Festi from Italy will take to the sky in this specially designed display of light and aerial acrobatic routines. My dad was in town that weekend, so Bubster and I took him to watch a ‘free’ show. The crowd was HUGE but it was worth it. As you can see, I was standing quite far away as well. Here are some snapshots I took (not fantastic though):

Ooh, spinning in a glass?

The girls at Fashion Nation are organizing  the first, and definitely not the only, Singapore Fashion Bloggers Rendezvous. All the talk about let’s meet up and who’s organizing it - I’m glad the girls are finally taking action. Afterall, we’ve been stalking each other for months or even years! It’s time to come out of cyberspace and see each other in flesh and bloodddddd hahaha.

Here’s what I have in mind for the first meetup:

Idea #1: A Rubik’s Cube Party!

I read about this ages ago and I thought it was like the coolest thing ever. Every attendee must dress up in all six colours of the Rubik’s Cube and then, we’ll attempt (no, we must!) to change, swap, trade, or exchange solid colour items until you have all six colours like a Rubik’s Cube. Get it? Lame? Ok, I’ll shuttup.

Idea #2: A Themed Thingy

OK, I wanna have a themed-meetup! All attendees will play dress-up to a specific theme (must be cam-worthy!) which makes us easier to recognise each other. Well, I know how Wottoncool or Fashion Nation or Vogueite look like. What about the rest? I am not suggesting we dress up as Disney characters. We can go for like hippie-chic, pink or whatever. What do youuu think? Email your brilliant ideas to ilovefashionation@gmail.com

Merlion Dress: Love or Hate?

This year’s Miss Singapore Universe pageant has sparked controversies. First, the event was not telecasted due to poor viewership from the previous year. Then, the DRESS. Yes, we’re talking about the Merlion dress. For readers who are wondering what a ‘Merlion’ is, this mythical creature (head of a lion, body of a fish) is the national icon for the country. To find out more about this ‘Uniquely Singapore’ creature, here’s the wiki link.

(Photos: ST)

The 2008 winner, Shenise Wong says , ‘I was thinking, ‘Am I gonna be wearing this big thing on my head that looks like the Merlion was put on me?’ But I’m relieved because it’s like a mermaid sort of dress.’ According to ST, “the white and silver gown has textured ’scales’ made of PVC leather and dangling plastic crystals. And to complete the ensemble - an organza fishtail train and a matching shimmery collar piece that is supposed to spread out behind Shenise’s head like a large fin. To top up the look, several scallop shells adorn her mohawk-styled hair.”

Some slammed the dress. Some praised Singapore for being brave and innovative. What do you think? I honestly think the dress isn’t THAT bad, but it is definitely not beautiful, omfg gorgeous. That aunty hairdo HAS to go! Shenise looks like she just transformed into a mid-life crisis Tai-Tai. The fishtail train looks cheaply made and it doesn’t flow beautifully. I don’t know. I’m not crazy about this dress but I’m quite glad they gave a student a chance - I mean, give him a break! He’s got a steep learning curve.

I definitely think she’s not going to win Best Costume.

When Cartier calls, celebrities come out to play. The Cartier Charity Love Bracelet launch attracted big names such as Nicole Richie, Fergie, Madden brothers, Bridget Moynahan, Emmy Rossum, Eva Mendes and etc. It has been said that each guest represented a different charity and contributed their favorite love song to the Cartier Love Charity playlist. How nice. Let’s see who’s looking fantabulous that night:

Print and Pretty
Yeah, we love prints. Fergie is rocking some fierce heels as she strut down the red carpet. Love her legs. Nicole Richie looks lovely with her maternal glow.

Ingenue in Dresses
Emmy Rossum and Chloe Sevigny both look adorable and chic in their dresses. Chloe pinned a vintage-like flower brooch on her dress, nice.

Sister 2 Sister
I honestly think Hilary Duff looks beautiful in the cobalt blue dress and very fierce heels! Love the black nails too. Haylie took a safe choice with a little black dress.

Sexy Duo
Eva Mendes and Eve both looked sexy and sulty in their respective dresses. I never noticed Eve’s wild cat paw tattoo just above her breasts. Absolutely wild!

Is this a tribute to YSL’s women in menswear? Or, Ashley Olsen is just being fashion-forward as usual? There is no way she’s going to stop wearing menswear. I think she looks absolutely fab in this relaxed, boyish Calvin Klein tux. Now, don’t you wish your boy is the same size as you?

Anna Wintour rarely makes an appearance in public. But here, she’s seen with Shelby Bryan at the Sex and the City After Party in New York on May 27. Is it the big Vogue ‘product placement’ in SATC? (Let’s say it’s about 15 mins running time featuring Carrie Bradshaw and Vogue.

So what is Miss Anna Wintour wearing? It’s Oscar de la Renta Resort 2009. Oh yeah.

Ta-dah! Yours truly was at the ‘Sex and the City’ Gala Premiere last night at Vivocity. I brought my boy along (well, it’s hard to bring your girlfriend because the rest will be jealous!) who is not a SATC fan and he prolly has seen one episode like… ever. So, this would be a good time to introduced our favourite “girlfriends” to him - Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte.

That’s me in floral glory! It’s summer (unfortunately, it was raining yesterday) and I deserve to wear summer dresses! I couldn’t wear heels yesterday because I had to work (doh) and rush to class and then to Vivocity for dinner with mum before sending her off.  Yeah, mum went home yesterday night.

It’s a private event! Warner Bros booked the entire cinema for the night. They’re really promoting SATC to every single, attached or married women from 20 to 40 years old.

The running text above says “Welcome to “Sex & the City” Gala Premiere”. Woo!

NOW SHOWING: SEX AND THE CITY - Yes, we get the picture.

Filming crew! Ooh, I miss production life - in a way. I’m not sure who they’re shooting for - HBO? Channel News Asia? I don’t know.

Singapore celebrities, Pierre Png and Andrea de Cruz. I wonder why she needs to take slimming pills and risk her life to gain her ideal weight. To me, she looks perfectly fine! She’s even skinnier than the magazines.

FOOD! FOOD! Glorious food! We had dinner at Crystal Jade Dining In before popping by. Sigh.

Ooh, sexy back! Haha. Check out the decor on the table. The David Tutera in me is coming out!

The boy couldn’t resist more dessert from the buffet table. Cheesecakes and brownies, yum!

More cosmos and champagne! The boy isn’t comfortable with photos. That’s his just after work look with his Adidas backpack. My mum says he looks like a school kid. That’s me without makeup, hahaha.

Champagne! I didn’t have any. I would be drunk before the movie started. I was a good girl and I had a Coke Light instead.

This is the SATC Gala Premiere invite that has been sitting at my work desk for almost a week.

As I wait patiently for the movie, I decided to take a close up of my ZARA summer dress and pink patent flats. So here we are, listening to the SATC soundtrack and watching all these fabulously dressed people walking in and taking their seats. Ooh, lights dimmed… and we’re starting the show!

Dress: Floral summer dress by ZARA

Shoes: Pink Patent Flats by Mondo (only $9!)

Necklace: Black stone pendant by Diva
