Was just stuck reading yesterday's papers downstairs early this morning in attempt to avoid that lizard perched firmly by the staircase and boy does Sumiko Tan annoy me. No one really wants to hear about how she revels in being an undomestic goddess and a kitchen klutz. Do I really want to know that she believes men find her more attractive for being capable in the working world and a hapless damsel in distress in the kitchen? That chick really irks me. Somehow, I get the niggling feeling that shes still trying to channel the whole Carrie from Sex and the City.
On to L'Officiel Singapore-
Like Grace said, beautiful editorials, beautiful photospreads, very high-fashion and very astute. With a rather hefty 7.90 price tag it better be. The watercolour printed spread was quite divine; I can just imagine tearing out the pages and framing them up on my walls. A few bugbears though- the tiny white font on a black page made it extremely difficult to read, like eye-strainingly difficult. And I thought the polaroid shots featured were a bit too small. But its just tiny layout things that I'm being pedantic and nitpicky about, the aesthetic and vibe of the magazine is really quite impressive. Of course, one really doesn't expect being able to actually OWN any of its pieces, 'cept maybe for the makeup stuff.
Note to Gracie: I think the reason why we shouldn't subscribe is not only the exorbitant cost (for a local mag, that is), but I have a sneaky suspicion that the magazine might not pull through the year. Its just (still) too niche.
