Fashion Magician; Mondo Guerra


Wow. Just how exactly does he do all this?

I was watching some episodes of Project Runway
and I'm totally blown away by this man's talent & genius.

A Magician.
That's all I can say.

He knows how to make clothes,
he has his own taste and take on things,
he knows how to translate looks into his own vision & territory.

Just amazing.

Totally in-spirational...

Male Actors; the Long Term Fascinations





When I was 12, I totally fell for Pierce Brosnan in the TV series Remington Steele.
He was a bit fickle, but he was entertaining.

I slowly let go of him around the time he became too public 
as he reached his status as the New James Bond.

I soon found a fascination for a truly Bad Boy
personified by Ralph Fiennes in the movie Schindler's List.

For a really long time he was my favorite actor...
Then I had a brief fascination for Richard Schiff in the West Wing series.

Most recently, I found myself very attracted to Mr. Rob Morrow in Num3ers.
I'm happy today because he just started a new role in the Whole Truth.

Aura Soma by a Lady Named "Viki"




One of the bestsellers in Seoul these days is a book on color. I feel that it is a bit like "horoscope in gem-like bottles."

Still, how gorgeous they are!! I spent hours and hours on their website... choosing 4 bottles... You can go and try it yourself. http://www.aura-soma.net/

Babe Paley


I was browsing through a fashion icon book the other day, and came across a name I have never heard of. I forgot about all the other women in the book, came home and googled her. Her name is Babe Paley.

I can't believe I've lived 30 years of my life, not knowing her!

Well, actually we all know her in some ways; this is the lady who started that trend of tying a scarf around your bag, and this is also the lady who started the trend of wearing a mixture of real jewelry and costume jewelry!

I don't know why none of the Korean fashion magazines have referenced her; her style is so perfect for the "demure" aesthetic that is so required in Korea.
