Monroe's Comeback

2009-10-23T10:55:00.000-07:00

Remember I blogged about my shoot for Dolce & Gabbana's Fall 2009 collection not too long ago? I was wearing this adorable Marilyn Monroe puff skirt, and now here's another of my favourite from the collection ;)

Doesn't it look lovely?

Have a good weekend my dears!

New Fav: Stockings

2009-08-27T09:46:00.000-07:00

Did a shoot for a magazine today, and I was wearing one of Ruffian's Fall 2009 collection. Absolutely love the sophisticated look and the black point d'esprit body stockings! I think it'd be nice for a romantic dinner :)

These stockings look great on human too don't they?

Happy weekend dears!

Comfort Clothing on the Runway

2009-08-22T19:17:00.000-07:00

Whoever said khakis aren't fashionable must have not seen Chloe's Fall 20009 collection. This is one of my favourites! Love the femininity the frills create, and the suede shorts that's so comfy and practical for the weather. Don't we sometimes need fashion that's made for comfort and style?

Ok, I'm off to the Sunday flea market ;) Happy Sunday dears!

Monroe

I'm so sorry I've been neglecting you guys. Now that I'm back, I can't wait to share with you some fashion goodies from Dolce & Gabbana's Fall 2009 collection!

Marilyn Monroe - an icon, a legendary beauty

The Wedding Dress

2009-03-29T06:15:00.000-07:00

I fell in love with this dress the moment I saw it at Sarahseven's boutique! It's exactly how I would picture myself walking down the aisle in my wedding at a garden :)

Ivory silk and ruffles -- Nothing too fancy, simply pure and beautiful. And that's how love is supposed to be.

Confessions of a Shopaholic

2009-03-21T03:47:00.000-07:00

Today is shopping day with S!

Tired of fitting into tight dresses for the shoots in the past few days, I opted for my trusty denim and a comfy black tank top, and wrapped my favourite leopard print scarf around the neck for a more dressed-up look. With my classic Givenchy carry-all and Marc Jacobs sunnies, I'm all ready to hit the town!

I ended up having sore toes shopping for hours in my Alexander McQueen heels. And needless to say, I lost track of how much I spent -- I do that (consciously) all the time :)

Me : I so need to shop! I haven't shopped for monthsss!

S : I hear this from you all the time. And by the way it was just last weekend when you shopped.

Me : Last weekend? Hmm, can't recall. Must be one of those where I came home with nothing:)

Anyway, I got home with my hands full of shopping bags! New bag, new shoes, new dresses...Yay to my wardrobe!

It wasn't until I opened my credit card bill that I realised my last shopping spree with S was just 10 days ago, and it was just last weekend when I bought my new Marc Jacobs sunnies.

Was it just last weekend? If feels like a long long time ago...

I'm such a shopaholic I can do no denying.

* * * * * *

Speaking of shopaholics, have you blocked your diaries to watch the Confessions of a Shopaholic? Better do so! S and I were just talking about it and we have 'booked' each other for that big day :)

And as I was catching up with fashion news, I found out that Tongue in Chic is giving away a Gucci tote bag (Yes, no kidding!) and free movie passes to watch the movie! All you need to do is to submit your very own shopaholic experience. I so hope I can be the lucky winner! :)

And don't forget, Plasterdoll's 'Buy Two Free One' March Madness Sale is still on!

10 more days left for you to get your favourite Plasterdoll prints so don't miss out!

Picnic Day

2009-03-15T10:24:00.000-07:00

Recently, I have people asking what is my personal style, do I only wear designer pieces (thinking models get to take home what they wear for fashion shoots), and whether I can post some daily pictures of myself to see how I dress-up when I'm off work.

Hm that's actually a good idea! So today I decide to blog about something different and more personal :)

Today is picnic-day with my besties -- where we gather to gossip, enjoy a cup of tea and some home-baked muffins. I wore my floral bustier from Chloe Sevigney paired with Teresa eyelet skirt from dELiAs. The gigantic straw hat I bought from Topshop was simply perfect to hide my big wide face from the sun.

So back to the question on whether I only wear designer pieces? The answer is no. As much as I enjoy the splurge on designer wear, I do love high street fashion and flea markets.

Me enjoying a good cup of earl grey...

Fame and Celebrity

2009-02-22T06:38:00.000-08:00

Remember my granny look in one of my older shoots for Charles Anastase? This weekend I had another chance to model for his Spring Summer 2009 collection.

This time, I wore a tiny cropped leather jacket over his signature stiff tutu skirt with Victorian suspenders and stockings underneath.

Amazing how ballerina and rock chick look could actually blend so nicely!

By the way, I'm very excited to see my Fan Club growing! I start to wonder if I'm ready for the fame ;) But until people begin to recognise me in public and ask for autographs or photographs, I guess I still have plenty of time to learn to cope with celebrity fame!

Or I can always ask Fifi for some tips.

Mood: Fun

2009-02-15T08:29:00.000-08:00

Don't I look adorable in this shoot for Oscar de la Renta? I've never had my hair tied this way before.

And I was playing with the necklace a little after the shoot -- can't resist! It looks just like a toy :)

2009-02-01T07:02:00.000-08:00

I had a chance to dress like a cowgirl today at a fashion shoot! That's me stylishly clad in Hermes' double-belted coat from his spring/summer 2009 collection.

Yee-ha!!

Dolls are not Freaky

2009-01-18T09:51:00.000-08:00

Today at my shoot for Tsumori Chisato's latest spring/summer 2009 collection, my hairstylist created a bedhead look for me. I actually was quite pleased with my new look until I overheard at the changing room some unpleasant comments that my supposedly sexy look seemed freaky to them <:(

I know I should be happy that most people find me adorable, but I can't help recalling this: A friend once told me how some people (human) react to dolls with hugh doe eyes (what they call 'lifeless eyes'!), and how dolls like us remind them of Chucky or some childhood nightmare. What hurtful comments.

Please tell me I am nothing like Chucky.

*hoping for a better day*

Plasterdoll in Real Life at Creative Mafia - Part 2

2009-01-12T08:09:00.000-08:00

Hello there,

My doll eyes are still recovering from last weekend's exhibition at Creative Mafia @ Youth '09 -- Too much camera flash throughout the whole of 3 days! :) I should be used to them by now with my modelling experience, but this really is the first time I'm being photographed by so many cameras!

Despite that, I'm really excited the fame and exposure I gained in this event, and how there were people calling me by my name (So they actually know me!). I'm also really happy to have met some fans of mine and made new friends too, especially the Fashion-na-nimal Darlings whom I exchanged runway tips with :)

My exhibition, with the Fashion-na-nimal Darlings right next to me

And here's where Plasterdoll prints were sold.

Thank you sooooooooo much for those who purchased my fashion shoots prints! And also thanks to Bijou Bazaar for organising this successful event. Ohh, I'm super-duper excited with the potential opportunities to model for some fashion labels! Looks like I'm taking a step up in my modelling career ;)

I'm back! Back from my unplanned pre-Christmas holiday which explains my long absence. Sorry dears!

So I've unpacked, admired the new additions to my wardrobe, and avoided calculating the total damage from my shopping sprees. It's an unknown amount till the bills reach me :)

Looks like it's gonna be a busy Christmas for me. Fashion shows and events all lined up in my schedule! Stay tuned...

Meanwhile here's my latest shoot for Tommy Hilfiger. Love the checkered pants!

I'm a Biker Chick

2008-10-27T04:25:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a long day at the studio. Nevertheless it's always rewarding to see myself looking fabulous in Chanel, Gucci, Marc Jacobs...You name it!

Happy I have a new shoot to share. I wore this PVC-ish leather cigarette pants and a matching front-zipper tube, contrast with this ultra-feminine jacket detailed with floral embroidery, all from Matthew Williamson's latest Spring/Summer 2009 collection.

Almost a biker chick :)

All Wrapped Up

2008-10-20T03:08:00.000-07:00

I wasn't familiar with Thakoon until I wore this lovely chiffon dress from his Spring/Summer 2009 collection. Look at me, I was all wrapped up in this Shibari-style bondage wrap dress.

A lil late, but I'm starting to like Thakoon's collection.

I'm in Tongue in Chic!

2008-10-07T05:46:00.000-07:00

I was telling a fairy (Kinky Blue Fairy) the other day about my fabulous job and how I'm coping with life as a model. And I was so happy that she would like to do an interview with me and feature me in Tongue in Chic! No, it's not just for fairies, but for people (and dolls) like you (and me).

I'm so proud to be featured :)

By the way, I'm preparing for a photoshoot right now and have to run. Pictures will be up soon I promise!

I heart tutu

2008-10-01T10:39:00.000-07:00

I must say, I have a special love for tutus!

My Grandma Cardigan

2008-09-25T10:03:00.000-07:00

I love my grandma cardigan! Erm...Not my grandma's cardigan, but my very own grandma cardigan. You get the point, don't you? :)

And once again, the geeks rule the runway (!!) as seen Charles Anastase's new collection at the London Fashion Week. I'm head over heels over his new collection, particularly its innocent touch of white, and beige, and lots of lace, and lots and lots of grandma cardigans!

They say I look really sweet in these pieces, what do you think? Me, I think I will definitely be wearing more of Charles Anastase this season :)

Love,
Plasterdoll
