Right after the play, the evening’s program continued with a “Home Studio: Bisik-Bisik session.” The “Home Studio: Bisik-Bisik session” featured model and actress, Elaine Daly, TV personality, Belinda Chee and former newscaster, Hong Jukhee. All three of them, who are beauty authorities themselves, came together for a girl-to-girl bisik-bisik sofa session on the topic of beauty.
The “Home Studio: Bisik-Bisik session” became very lively andchatty and besides a discussion on beauty philosophy, beauty regiment and tips, another “hot” topic that came up was on how have tight times like now made women change their habits on beauty care spending. All three of them agreed that there should be no compromise on quality products from trusted brands, even in times like these.
When asked the question on what is the most important “ingredient” in beauty care, Elaine had this to say, “Without doubts, discipline is the key “ingredient!” When asked to elaborate, she said that one must have the discipline to stick to the scheduled time every morning and evening to care for your skin and hair. “You can have the best products in the world, but without a disciplined approach to daily beauty care, it is just not going to work,” concluded Elaine. I totally agree with Elaine on this.
Discipline - something I have to keep reminding myself too! So far I have never gone to sleep at night with my make up on! And I love the colour of Belinda Chee's dress!
In an earlier posting I wrote about how I love the look appearing everywhere now of the tapered leg trousers with long men's cut jackets. I bought a pair of tapered leg pants from Zara and paired it with a vintage Versace jacket which a good friend of mine gave to me about 14 years ago, and she had it for years before that too... I messaged her to tell her I still have the jacket, still love it and can still wear it!
I was at Pavillion for the Bebe Fashion show which I was invited to walk on the catwalk fashion show. While doing my make up at stage, I noticed this make up reference all the make up artists were given so they know what kind of make up to do for the models.
I don't have the pictures from the actual show yet, will put them up once I do...

“Seorang geisha yang saya lihat di Kyoto, tempat budaya itu berkembang, selalu saja tampil menarik. Malah, guru yang mengajar saya itu juga tidak ketinggalan memakai kimono walaupun untuk keluar seketika.
“Sepanjang seminggu bersama mereka saya diminta sentiasa bergaya dalam salinan tradisi agar apabila membuat persembahan tidak terlalu kekok,” katanya
Cerita Sasha lagi, tarian geisha ini ada pelbagai dan menggunakan alatan berbeza berdasarkan jalan cerita dipersembahkan.
“Hendak diikutkan ada yang menari menggunakan alat muzik tradisi seperti gitar, skaf, payung dan kipas. Saya memilih untuk mempersembahkan tarian menggunakan kipas kerana suka jalan ceritanya.
“Ia mengisahkan wanita yang mencintai seorang anggota tentera dalam diam. Dia tidak dapat meluahkan perasaan secara berdepan dan hanya menyatakan menerusi nyanyian dan persembahan.
“Kipas menjadi objek utama untuk dia menggambarkan perasaan hatinya kepada jejaka disayangi. Setiap gerak ada makna. Itu yang mencabar kemampuan saya. Saya bukan saja perlu bergerak, tetapi harus menunjukkan ekspresi jiwa. Ibaratnya saya perlu berlakon sewaktu menari,” katanya
Kata Sasha lagi tidak seperti tarian biasa, gerakan geisha biasanya tiada pengulangan apatah lagi ia dilakukan secara solo.
“Apabila persembahan dibuat mata semua tertumpu kepada penari dan kesilapan harus dielakkan. Jika perkara itu berlaku bimbang pengertian lain yang akan diterima penonton,” katanya
As part of the Fiesta Fesyen Kuala Lumpur event held at the One World Hotel on Monday, I was invited to walk on the catwalk as part of the fashion show featuring creations by our very own Malaysian Designers. I am wearing a design by Aidawati.
