the words words words concept shop at SELFRIDGES is pretty awesome. for the sake of celebrating the beauty of words, the joy of writing, and the art of conversation, this is a place where people come together through words, joined by writers-in-residence, captivating storytellers, and surrounded by literary-inspired products. the mastermind for this temporary establishment IT'S NICE THAT, a very rad publishing house, has taken over the department store's orchard street windows and created a breathtaking ‘word-a-coaster’, with 30,000 colorfully unique fortunes flying around a hand-made track. i always have a thing for those rolling ball machines since i was a kid, and seeing this one has left me flabbergasted

t'was a saturday morning of sunshine and smiles at the maltby market. all the kaleidoscopic fresh fruits and orgasmic ST.

on the street of rivington in shoreditch, there stands a little shop called YCN, showing and selling an array of wares and wonders like kites by daniel frost and slingshots by christopher jarratt. what amazes me the most are these extraordinary city guides by HERB LESTER that are nicely folded to fit into your shirt pocket. the name, "an uncle's guide to london," says it all

in room # 4 of the marvelous ZETTER TOWNHOUSE, a blanket that matches my MONITALY jacket and a warm water bottle await on my poster bed. the room also comes with a view overlooking the little st. john square and moonlight would shine on you when u lie in bed at night. accompanied by the warmth and helpfulness from the hotel staff, i feel like a princess. and i like how i can just hop across the street and have my poached eggs on toast with mushrooms and 2 flat whites at ST.

when i am not shooting with boys, i art-direct or creative-direct girl shoots and stuff, so that i can come up with rent or something, and this time, we did this catalogue shoot in solar studio in the west of london. and we had this kid jo as the studio assistant. he's an attentive, enthusiastic, and diligent young fellow that finishes everything with a smile. precious! he had been having braces for many years and he's missing a tooth. cute! and he was having his braces taken off the day after the shoot and then had a bag of taffy just to celebrate. knock yourself out, kiddo

a little brick lane in st. john's square in clerkenwell leads me to my home away from home - the ZETTER TOWNHOUSE, a 13 bedroom georgian townhouse with a cocktail lounge as a lobby that makes the sickest bloody mary ever and gets very happening after dark. the check comes in an antique book in a very we could grow up 2gether way. and wait still you see my bedroom in le part deux of this blog entry

SHOREDITCH GRIND has what i need to get my day started - a mean cup of flat white. cool lads with even cooler glasses go there too. i like how they are all friendly there cos i have only been going there a couple times and they are already like "morning chu, how are u? why don't chu get a mileage card?!" lol! and oh, meet rusty, my new vintage prada robot keychain. he came from new york, and i adopted him through ebay. all because the last one i had, JACK JACK, left me in the lower east side a year ago. well, it's more like i lost him with carelessness. i am pretty sure jack has found himself a good home somewhere near ludlow, a bachelor no more, living happily ever after

2012-01-09T00:00:00.006-05:00

after coffee and crème brûlée at CAFFEE MICHELANGELO, kaz took me to the newest outpost of TSUTAYA BOOKS in daikanyama. three glass buildings of books connected with two walkovers, with a starbucks and a lounge (filled with vintage books and old magazines bind as encyclopedias, and ipads as menus) inside, you can hang out there till 2 in the morning every single night. and you shall find this cute little camera shop called 北村写真機店 next door. i love this so much, i have been going there three nights in a row, and of cos i have to bring ema. once she got there, she didn't want to leave

claw crane

2012-01-08T00:00:00.004-05:00

these claw crane things are everywhere in tokyo. and it's only 100 yen a pop. i was hoping to get a woodstock but ended up winning a charlie brown on my second try. life is funny that way, like it would turn out not the way you expected or envisioned, but still end up beautifully with some sort of serendipity. at least that's my case

高円寺 kōenji

2012-01-07T00:00:00.006-05:00

after a couple train stops from shibuya, there's kōenji ~ an old neighborhood famous for its vintage menswear shops. from rrl by ralph lauren to riding breeches from the 30's to tricker's boots to varsity sweaters, this place has it all, but you need to have the patience to go through all the little shops on the little streets that look pretty much look the same. and i managed to find a striped morning jacket, a mohair cardigan, and some buttons for a poncho.

oh i forgot to tell you more about my new shoes. this brand makes the best shoes and the leather backpacks they made in the past are oh so golden i'm telling ya. i like them cos they look like they have been through shit and glory and appear to have many stories to tell. LUISAVIAROMA sells them now so check them out people

漫步中目黑

2012-01-05T00:00:00.008-05:00

i like hanging out in naka-meguro in the morning when it is not crowded. just chilling and having my sesame coffee + the super delicious fried pork cutlet sandwich at UESHIMA. then getting a little homeware something from journal standard's INOXYDABLE. and debuting my officie creative buckle leather shoes in the color of oxblood red! i also think the tri-layering of sleeve cuffs is the new bracelet in the wintry season

2012-01-04T00:00:00.002-05:00

2 smArt jackets

2012-01-02T00:09:00.004-05:00

in japan, they use the word "smart" instead of "swell" or "awesome," like "very smart" or "this one is more smart than the other" and i think these two jackets i just got are way more than "smart!" the 1st one is a one of a kind jacket made out of a vintage army blanket from the store N 44 which i believe is related to my favorite brand MONITALY. this shit keeps me warm i'm telling ya. and the 2nd one is a SKOOKUM varsity jacket from JOURNAL STANDARD. the green and yellow make a super color combo

tweed run slippers

2011-12-31T00:00:00.004-05:00

not too long ago, i was at the RALPH LAUREN RUGBY store on bleecker trying on a pair of the limited edition tweed run slippers. this adorable and helpful kid ALEXANDER who worked there went to the back and then navigated through the iPad trying to find my size, but apparently they were all sold out in the city of new york. i couldn't do a thing but pout like a kid who didn't get what his heart desired for christmas. hey guess what, i found my size here in tokyo! aren't these neat or what?!!

new york is not just a tan that you never loose

2011-12-30T00:00:00.002-05:00

on the first day of my tokyo adventure, i found this vintage tan leather backpack at CASPER JOHN which is very very very unique. the former owner would used a ball pen to write down the name of the places that he or she has been to, costa rica, colón, and wait for it, new york city! as soon as it saw the name of the third place, i was like ... sold

in the odyssey, circe used a magical wand to transform odysseus's men into animals. while italian fairy tales put wands into the hands of the powerful fairies by the late middle ages. in the chronicles of narnia: the lion, the witch and the wardrobe, the white witch's most feared tool is her wand, whose magic is capable of turning people into stone. and almost all fairy godmothers would often use wands with stars or some form of decorations on the end. and this is what i got myself for christmas - a magic wand from MOON RIVER CHATTEL. watch out bitches!

from now on our troubles will be miles away

shooting with ethan

2011-12-24T00:00:00.005-05:00

we did a shoot with ethan james the other day. it was a cold one so every time he changed outside he would scream like a girl just for the sake of drama. and this kid knew how to gimme "couture" poses, like those that you kinda hunch and wrap your arms around your waist and stuff. supermodel wurk! haha. we had our lunch break at LUKE'S for some lobster rolls. good times as always

CORAL & TUSK makes good things. from pocket dolls and cushions to badges and napkins, every creation made by textile designer stephanie housley comes with a buttload of childlike sense of wonder; as if they were little props for a fairy tale movie in the making. i got one of their badges y'all, it's called the foxy badge and it goes swimmingly well with my newly purchased vintage green blazer

faithful friends who are dear to us

2011-12-14T00:00:00.008-05:00

ema and i go way back. we used to work together back in hong kong like 11 years ago. thick and think we have been through. countless laughter and tears we have shared. we don't see other that often now but every time we get together it would be something major, like 8 hours of intensive shopping in tokyo that leads to exhaustion or a madonna concert that we would never forget. this time, it was a lovely day in new york city - we had lunch at AN CHOI for some yummy vietnamnese food and then shopping in williamsburg followed. her gorgeous arrow necklace came from CAT BIRD and look at her new sperry topsiders boots! and stopping by my favorite cafe BAKERI was inevitable. after that it was bon chon chicken and lychee soju cocktails in korean town. we ended the day ordering room service in her room at the ace hotel. you know, u can't choose your friends. you can't even try to be someone you are not so that you can please that somebody or make that person like you and become you friend, that's scheming ... true friendship just happens. it should be effortless

after the carousel ride, wax and i both bought a magnificent snow globe from WEST ELM which i shall blog about it tomorrow. after that we hopped into this place called AlMAR for multiple cocktails and then i got so drunk and had to get an eggnog latte from starbucks just to wash the alcohol out. what happened next was me falling on the floor all drunk and laughing and stuff. happy hours indeed

2011-12-12T00:00:00.003-05:00

you know where'd you get to when you walk from manhattan to dumbo on the brooklyn bridge? it leads you right to this magical carousel in a glasshouse! i blog about the JANE's CAROUSEL when it was still in renovation like two years ago and i am so happy to finally get to be on it y'all. when i hopped on to one of the horses, i just couldn't stop smiling and feeling awesome! as the carousel spined, u got to see the manhattan skyline and the bridges and the skies. man, only in new york. only in new york

2011-12-10T00:00:00.001-05:00

i remember when wax and i first saw that LADY GAGA GOOGLE CHROME ad and we were like we need to put on bandanas and black bras and some denim shit and jog and dance on brooklyn bridge and take pictures of each other. well, today we finally did it, without the crazy outfits, just wearing what represented us best and walked from manhattan to brooklyn. and we did something magical after that which i shall blog about soon, so stay tuned

today, i get to see some old friends of mine; old friends that i grew up together with. they are at the jim henson's fantastic world exhibit at the MUSEUM OF MOVING IMAGE. when i was a little boy, i always dreamed of going to sesame street to hang out with everyone there, counting numbers, singing the alphabet song, kissing and hugging the furry monsters. well, this might not be sesame street but seeing the real muppets is actually kinda cool. you know the size of a muppet's head is even bigger than the size of mine?! and oh, i always love the muppet songs, even fozzie once said "all we have are silly songs and whoopee cushions" they remind me of the beauty and magic of loving, dreaming, and staying true to who you really are. here are my three of my all time favorite muppet songs that move me to tears every time, click on and listen y'all

come dream with mE

2011-11-25T00:00:00.004-05:00

everyone who reads this blog has to go see HUGO, the most wcgut movie of the year. it is originated from this magical book entitled THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET by brian selznick - a story about hugo, who's an orphan, a clock keeper, a thief and a dreamer that just does not give up. he lives in the walls of a paris train station. the story involves a treasured notebook, a stolen key in the shape of a heart, a beautiful striped sweater that hugo wears, and a mechanical man. but the main message is about how this world is a big fat machine, that comes with no extra part, cos each of us is a part in this machine that cannot be replaced, hence we all come in here with a unique purpose; and we need to not give up on that. the movie also reminds us how movie magic is nothing but the purest form of turning imaginations and dreams into inspirations, something that i always strive to do. so like what georges méliès says in the story,"all you mermaids, travelers, adventurers, and magicians ... come dream with me"

once upon a time ...

2011-11-24T00:00:00.001-05:00

... a tiny chinaman went to the brooklyn flea in a small town called williamsburg. a nice middle aged lady with long curly thick gray hair was like, "why don't you try that brown herringbone jacket at the end of the rack and see. all the boys have been trying that on but none is small enough to fit into it." so chinaman put it on and then he gasped. the blazer with olive lining with horses on it fit like a glove. both the lady and he were thrilled to the bones. the lady even asked her friends in the market to gather around to witness this moment saying "we have a candidate! we have a candidate!" the chinaman looked at his reflection on the rusty chippy old mirror and said, "i'm cinderella." the norfolk jacket only costed him 40 bucks

daylight saving time is whack. it's like i have to get up earlier to enjoy more daylight or something. so i got up a little before 7, walked through thompskin square park to get my morning soy latte with a buttload of honey from mud coffee. then sat down on a random stoop to read my book. had lunch with fumi at this soba place sobakoh. then took the l train to williamsburg to meet with wax for a sweet coffee & cigarette break at bakeri. and then poof, it's sunset and the twilight (team jacob!) started creeping in, at 4:30! awww fleeting golden times

uptown is never my thing. i just feel not at ease there. but for one thing i am willing to venture uptown for ... it's CÉLINE! so joe at i had a little breakfast at this place called via quadronno. then we took pictures outside the soon-gonna-be new york céline flagship on 870 madison, headed to barneys to get Joe's medium tri-colored luggage, and tried on something from the row. after that, it was all cocktails and food at brinkley's, barmarche, and the urge with our other tranny friend :: giggles ::

i know sunday is all about a fabulous lunch with dear friends but when u got too many cocktails inside the lightweight chinamen body of mine the night before, there's simply not much u can do on a sunday morning, but reading the lovely todd selby column in the new york times sunday magazine while having some leftover from a korean bento box. and lots of water

getting ready to meet my trannies ...

meeting jp at FRANKIE'S 570 for an early dinner of grilled octopus, artichokes, meatballs with pine nut polenta,and loads of cocktail called currant tart ...

after that joe joined us at EXTRA VIRGIN. we sat outside, have our palms read by another awesome tranny with pink hair called simone ( she's magical! ). the LAST TIME we all hang out was almost a year and a half ago so it was a buttload of fun doing this again. and you know who run world? not gurls. but asian trannies!
