In pursuit of treasure and discovering the depths of my narcissism

I've been in Singapore for long enough to conclude that it lacks a creative dimension. So when I found out about MAAD - Market of Artists and Designers, my little heart skipped a beat! Oh me oh my I think I'm on to something, I thought I had found something reminiscent of the Brooklyn flea market. Away I went on my mini adventure on Saturday morning a mere 10 minute cab ride from my apartment (Singapore is tiny), and lo and behold in the Red Dot Museum I find a little little market. Now I was hoping to find a wealth of goodies that I might be able to purchase, clothes and jewelry and such, but to no avail. MAAD's offering was nice to browse but not really for me. It's more design than fashion/flea.
What I did find however, was completely unexpected and fantastic -- a small consortium of artists who were drawing people's portraits. Now the narcissist in me jumped at the chance to sit pretty whilst 30 people concentrated on nothing but me. Let there be light!!

Fruits

I got sick in NY, which is why I've been away for so long. Anyway, en route back to sunny Singapore I had a stopover at Tokyo Narita airport. I love stopping over in Tokyo, its my favourite airport because I get to stock up on Japanese magazines. I don't speak Japanese, so its all about the pictures!! Anyway, I picked up a fruits magazine. It focuses on Japanese street fashion, it's sort of a magazine form of the Sartorialist. Its amazing.


On a side note I've always wondered why the Japanese are fixated by fruits... They love their fruits in fashion and they love their actual fruits! Japanese-grown mellons can retail for 50 bucks, its crazy!! I still haven't figured out this fixation...but I love the magazine and their fruits!

More Fruits!! An actual category in the style section. You know like prints, or safari... fruits?!?
