We’re having a moving sale, are you interested? Email me at jennwong at gmail dot com, we live in the French Concession and you would need to pick up your items before December 20th! Items sold on a first come first serve basis, xoxo.
WAHHHH! Life is BUSY and life is good! As most of you know, December 22nd marks our final end date in this crazy China journey, can you believe it’s been over five years of this madness?! As a special treat, I bought myself this fun little toy and those images above come courtesy of my first roll. Am still playing around with the functions but overall very pleased with the splurge.
Look, if you’re in Shanghai on December 10th, you really have no excuse not to turn up. Please come celebrate (and say good riddance) to us as we say goodbye to China and hello to the real world. More details can be found here. XOXO
Made some new friends at the Central Studios Autumn Swap.
Don’t worry though, I’m still a crazy cat lady. XO
Shanghai Fashion Week kicked off last week and Women’s Wear Daily were kind enough to invite me to shoot the Vivienne Westwood’s S/S2012 show, so wonderful. Above are some photos from the show + one photo of the most amazing dress ayi spotted taking a break pre-show, maybe more to be posted soon of party and backstage – the organizers hired this male dance troupe from Kazakhstan to dance at the after party, they were wearing stilettos and not much else. Amazing? If you have a WWD login, you can look at the article by clicking HERE, if not, soooo sooolllleeee. XOXO.
ps. edit!! see below, check out those gams:
the best thing about living in China is the absolute insanity of nightlife. a quiet Tuesday night drink with lo&sons turned into the above madness, still not entirely sure what was going on but all of a sudden we looked up and there was utter chaos on stage, cameras flashing, music pumping, whips… whipping?
we have a couple of ex-Shanghai friends fresh from Portland in town, have been taking them out to bars and watching their grinning faces as they take in the absurdity of this city. after nearly 6 years here, i still can’t figure out if this is a positive or negative, the truth about Shanghai is that anything can happen here, no rules, no limits.
picked up ludacris & entourage at the airport, all access passes, glorious blue sky (and windy) day, beautiful crowds and an all around fantastic event. VERY embarrassing situation with the 30 seconds to mars tent, accidentally asked for jordan catelan… i mean, jared leto. no one was happy.
huge congratulations to the entire splitworks team for an incredible experience. luda whaaaa?
our friends at SPLITWORKS have joined forces with Chinese event company Taihe Live and things are gonna go down in a big way this weekend. check out the festival site here and see y’all on Sunday for what’s sure to be an incredible day of music, beer and salute to summer. xo
spent the mid-autumn festival long weekend in tokyo with pals adrian, sammy, maromi & john, so amazing! not surprisingly, all we did was eat, shop and drink. fantastic! photos as follows:
+++ drunken salary man at 4am in shibuya – yes, loads of people were taking photos! for some reason, i remembered a tiny bit of japanese that my (korean) grandmother used to say to her friends and i walked up to this man and knelt down and shouted ‘genki deska?!!’ in his ear. after a bit of groaning, he eventually sat up and rubbed his face. i hope he got home ok?
+++ possibly the only foreign taxi driver in the city – he came to tokyo as a 14 year old refugee from afghanistan and hasn’t left since, quite amazing. we asked him whether he’d ever seen another foreign taxi driver and he told us, of course not!
+++ the best tonkatsu i’ve ever had – thanks mai-sen! we loved it so much that we picked up a few tonkatsu sandwhiches for our flight back, so delicious!
+++ oh, kaikaya by the sea! unbelievable everything, love love love.
more to come, have a great weekend! <3
