Jennifer Wang Will Avenge Planet Earth

Thu, 27 Sep 2012 16:10:22 +0800

Hello Jennifer! Firstly, you have beautiful hair, have you always had long hair?

Aww thank you so much! Yes, I have always had long hair. The shortest it has ever been is a couple inches past my shoulders. From freshman year to junior year, I didn’t cut my hair at all and it grew to past my hips! But a couple months ago, I got it trimmed, because it was actually getting too heavy!

Tell us about yourself! (Where you live, studying, parents, attached? )

I’m from California, and I’m currently a senior in high school. For college, I’m applying to art schools on the east coast. I really hope I can go to Parsons to study fashion design though! My mom inspires much of my style, and my dad, taught me the basics of cameras. I have a younger sister, who is 14, who helps take my photos. I also have 3 pets: two old english sheepdogs, Dolly & Charlie, and a chinchilla, Chin Chin!

What do you love to do during your free time and what happens when you run out of things to do?

I enjoy working on new posts for my blog, practicing my portrait drawing skills, or reading. If I run out of things to do, I will probably find something to eat or take a nap.

What about tattoos, piercings, or cigarettes?

Nope, I don’t have/do any of those things! I might get my ears pierced later on but my hair is always covering my ears so I haven’t felt the need to really! If I did get a tattoo, it would have some sort of meaning relating to my two dogs, OR it would be Iron Man or Sherlock Holmes related.

We heard you love your gold cut out cuffs, a fetish?

I do love my set of gold cut out cuffs! They have a very goddess-like feel but they also give off sci-fi vibes cause they look like gauntlets :)

An awkward moment?

Hmm… well one time when I was at the pool, I jumped on this girl’s back thinking it was my little sister… BUT IT WASN’T

Something crazy that you’d really love to do

Something crazy would be to go skydiving! Like ironman!

Where’s your favourite place to shop, do you have any tips on how to get cheap and good stuff?

My favorite place to shop is at Wasteland. Particularly the one in LA, but I also like the one in SF! To get cheap and good stuff, I recommend shopping at thrift stores, and really taking the time to look through everything. It’s also valuable to know some basics of sewing so you can alter pieces (take them in, shorten them etc.) that you find but don’t fit you perfectly. Aside from thrift stores, I shop the most at H&M when I go the mall! eBay is also a great place to shop at!

An ideal boyfriend.

Someone who looks like Robert Downey Jr. HAHAHA, well yes, but besides that, I would like someone who is artistic, both in what they create and how they dress. They should also have a good sense of humor but at the same time, be able to have deep discussions with!

Do you find yourself a little geeky at times?

Yes. To anything Sherlock Holmes or remotely Marvel related. Thank god for Tumblr so I can fangirl in privacy with other people obsessed with the same things I am!

Do you like to travel? If so, where would you love to go?

It depends! Traveling tires me out, and I don’t like to leave my dogs for very long, but if the destination were some place really peaceful, like a warm beach and also involved going to the spa, I would enjoy it very much because I get stressed easily but it can be difficult to unwind. I will get to visit NY in the next few months though! To check out colleges and make the final decision on where I would like to go after I graduate!

Hello Vanessa, firstly, congratulations on your first original...

Thu, 20 Sep 2012 15:15:04 +0800

Hello Vanessa, firstly, congratulations on your first original album! You must be so excited, just how much effort went into it?

Right, will you tell us more about yourself now! (Where you live, age, studying, parents, attached, when did you start singing?) I live in a humble flat in the northern part of Singapore and I’m 23 this year. I was from Ngee Ann Polytechnic and SIM-RMIT University previously. I have a pet Shetland Sheepdog named Glory and two guinea pigs, Milo Peng and PuddingEarlGreyGongChaMilkTea (Pudding for short) (Yes. I like naming my pets after my favourite drinks. Lol) I started writing my originals at the age of 14 and I’ve always loved singing since the beginning of time. It’s just my way of expressing myself.

And how were you like back in school?

You know how people talk about nature vs. nurture? I think by nature I’m a shy and introverted person, but by nurture through the years, I’ve grown to learn the art of socialising and fell in love with it. That being said, I still need time alone to reflect and recalibrate myself, especially through busy seasons and trying times.

Other than singing, what do you during your free time?

You’ll likely find me in some cafe hanging out with my friends or playing geeky games like Bananagrams or chess or something like that.

Do you have a tattoo? any plans? Smoke? piercings?

Nope. Not anytime soon :)

Describe your style of music and tell us a little about your lyrics.

I hate boxing myself in a genre per se, but people often say my music belongs to the quirky folk category. Perhaps Indie Folk/Rock would be most apt? I tend to be very honest with my lyrics as I find music a very effective and convenient medium to share heartfelt messages and experiences in people’s lives. So, I generally have someone in mind before I write a song (or at times, someones), that I want to convey a message to.

An awkward moment

Getting happy-high on Coke before a gig and burping on stage.

Something crazy/queer that you’d really love to do/done.

Own the zoo.

Where’s your favourite places to hang out, why and what’s good there

I like being in Haji Lane for all the colours and vibrancy of the place. I’m on a constant lookout for new places to hang out at. I like exploring new food, new environments and new things-to-do.

An ideal boyfriend.

Strong enough to admit his weaknesses. Secure enough to be himself totally when he’s with me. Someone who enjoys music (and it’s fine if he’s tone-deaf!) or some form of arts. Positive and fun-loving. Loves his and my family. Loves God. Embraces my crazy bunch of friends. Enjoy doing random ad-hoc things with me. Loves me. Aka. my best friend.

Do you like to travel? If so, where would you love to go?

Yes definitely, I would love to go to Barcelona all over again to experience the culture.

Amie & The Ba-na-na

Sun, 19 Aug 2012 22:53:00 +0800

We went down a flight of stairs which led to the tavern, sat down in a dark dirty corner, at a sticky round table, asked for some bananas and patiently waited for Amie. Not long, a slim figure appeared in the hall way, she was a girl, blonde long hair, petite, and seemingly a little underage for the tavern. After glancing at each other and pointing to the plate of bananas, she strolled over, by now getting quite a bit of attention. She took a seat, crossed her slender long legs, ruffled her hair, played with her piercings and rested her elbows on the sticky table. Finally, she looked straight into my eyes, grabbed my the banana and took a bite.

Hello Amie! Firstly, you’re beautiful, do you get this a lot?
Aw thankyou very much! Only people on tumblr tell me that but in real life no hahaha

Tell us about yourself! (Where you live, studying, parents, attached?
My full name is Amie-Mai Ellen smart (My mum calls me melon) I’m 17 and I live in a small town called Cheltenham – England after spending four years living in Canada. I can’t wait to move away from here though, it’s not quite right for me. I’m studying art at college - I have loved it since I was little and I’ve always wanted to carry it out into a career. I am a massive fan of food, all kinds along with having the biggest sweet-tooth. I’m indecisive yet open-minded. I live to make people happy. I love cats. I like every genre of music apart from cringey, thoughtless modern chart-music. There are not many things that I don’t like. I also believe that Buddhism has the best teachings if you wish to be happy in life!

What do you love to do during your free time and what happens when you run out of things to do?
My free time mostly consists of being around my friends, drawing, painting and making things and the rest of my time goes to sitting on my laptop looking up weird things/ teaching myself things and tumbling on tumblr. I also actually love playing video games like a teenage boy haha. I never run out of things to do, I’m very good at entertaining myself so I rarely get bored.

Do you have a tattoo? any plans? piercings?
I don’t have any tattoos yet but for my first one I wanted to get some sort of blossom tree design inspired by my favourite artist, Hiroshige. I also want to get a black and white triforce from the game Zelda because that game was literally my childhood and I cannot explain my undying love for it. I’m a bit of a sucker for piercings I think I have 11? Several on my ears including a tunnel, my tongue web, two on my neck and also my navel with 3 more piercings on the way, haha

Describe your design style.
It’s quite diverse really but I think mostly colourful, messy, simple yet detailed, soft, sometimes maybe a little crazy? I don’t know!

An awkward moment?
I can’t think of one :(

Something crazy/queer that you’d really love to do/done.
Probably when I jumped off a cliff into a lake in Mexico with my best friend. It was so scary but I loved it – If my mum found out she would of killed me hahaha. Something queer I would love to do is live with a pack of wolves because they are beautiful animals, even if they do try to eat me.

Where’s your favourite place to shop, do you have any tips on how to get cheap and good stuff?
Honestly I buy most of my clothes off eBay. That is the cheapest way to get all kinds of clothes – I won my favourite Versace for H&M leggings from there when they were sold out everywhere else, and I buy a lot of great vintage things from there too! When I have money though, I absolutely love American Apparel but we do not have one in the area that I live so I have to order online all the time :(

An ideal boyfriend.
Any guy who looks like Aston Kutcher, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom. They all have something in common – those amazing dark brown eyes. They make my heart melt. Personality wise I don’t have a preference – I always seem to find something deeply interesting within every person although they would need to be as crazy and stupid as me otherwise we will just not get along… They also need to be able to eat a lot with a big love for food like me. If all fails then I am more than happy to grow old with hundreds of cats.

You definitely love your bananas (no pun intended), how did you go about creating your sleeve + shirt.
Hah, well it’s inspired by the print by Andy Warhol. I saw the Velvet underground and Nico album cover and since then become obsessed with that particular banana print. I also love bananas – They make you happy!

Do you like to travel? If so, where would you love to go?

Honestly I’m one of those cliché’s who wants to ‘travel the world.’
I want to visit the temples in Cambodia, rainforests in Brazil , beaches in Fiji, animals in South Africa, landscapes and Culture in Japan, food in Thailand(as well as everything else – that place is beautiful) And of course Pandora in Avatar – who doesn’t want to travel there? The list is forever on-going to be honest but those are at the top of my list!

Once Upon A Ting

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 19:33:00 +0800

Hello Chloe! Tell us more about yourself!

Hi guys, I’m Chloe and I run a fashion blog at Chloe’s Addiction. Outside of the Internet, I’m an analyst, 26, and living in Melbourne Australia. Few random facts about me is I’m afraid of lizards, and grew up in magical kingdom called Brunei.

What do you love to do during your free time and what happens when you run out of things to do?

Outside of working hours, I spend most of my time on my blog, and when I do have free time I’m either playing videogames or watching TV shows. If I ever do find myself free time with nothing else to do, I love to take quick road trips and explore more regional areas.

What’s the most awkward moment you ever had in your life!

Fell down while crossing the road in front of a crowd!

Tell us one evil deed that you’ve done.

Fed wasabi to a dog when I was young.

Where’s your favourite place to shop, do you have any tips on how to get cheap and good stuff?

Online - nastygal, ASOS, marketHQ.

Melbourne - GeneralPants, Brunswick St, Chapel St.

For Aussie shoppers, the cheapest way to get cheap buys is to shop online! I normally buy items from shops only if they are unique and will be something I will lose sleep over.

Top 3 songs on your ipod list and who’s your fashion inspiration.

Marina and the Diamonds - Primadonna
BoA - Only One
Birdy - Skinny Love

Hard to say just one fashion inspiration. I get my inspiration mostly from other bloggers, celebrities and fashion magazines.

You had a chance to design your own Snupped case, how was it & why did you pick that artwork of yours.

It was great! Very straightforward and easy to pick a design that calls out to you and I went with a polka-dot pink case. Went with pink just to give my iPad a little bit of femininity :)

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained a super power, what would it be?

The power to teleport! So travelling the world is a breeze and I get to visit my family back home more often :)

Where do you want to travel to and why

My next travel destination on my wish list would be to Europe. I’ve been there when I was too young to remember so it would be great to visit beautiful cities like Rome and Paris.

Cupcakes & A Pink Hobbit

Sat, 28 Jul 2012 14:25:33 +0800

Hello, tell us everything about yourself and where you live!

Hi!! My name is Jasmine and I’m a 26-year-old (Gosh! I’m soo old~~sob) doctor currently working in Malaysia. I am a mere 4’11, a true hobbit if there ever was one, and I have given up hope for a second growth spurt. I am a total Francophile, I love classical literature and everything dreamy and romantic. I also love languages and at the moment is learning French and the long-forgotten language of Akkadian (albeit half-heartedly) by self-study.

What do you love to do during your free time

I am not an outdoorsy kind of person, so mostly I just stay indoors and read, play mini-games on the computer, blog-surf, play the piano or just catch some sleep after an exhausting night duty.

What’s the craziest thing a guy ever did for you

Erm, I’m not sure if by “craziest” you mean the sweetest or the creepiest, haha, but there was this guy whom I met at a bubble tea shop in Taipei. He skipped his shift and followed me through seven metro stations and a short taxi drive to ask me for my contact number and MSN. It was pretty sweet, and creepy at the same time

Tell us something bad that you want to or have done

I want to dye my hair in pastel pink or lavender, even if for a day! It isn’t bad actually, but considering where I work and the community mindset, it is definitely something unacceptable

Where’s your favourite place to shop, do you have any tips on how to get cheap and good stuff?

Ooh, there’re sooo many places to get cheap and good stuff in Taipei, where I used to live until recently. My favourite would be the small boutiques in Ximending, there’s such a large selection of affordable clothes, shoes , bags etc, that you’ll get blindsided easily and spend more than you plan to! Shopping for vintage items online is also a good way to get great value for money, the workmanship is usually pretty remarkable.

What’s on your ipod/reading list

I am currently obsessed with Genji Monogatari Sennenki OST, love the slightly melancholic vibes of traditional Japanese music. As for my reading list, that would be Micro by Michael Crichton and Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina.

You had selected a floral print, how was it & why did you pick that artwork.

Haha, I did consider designing my own using a photo of cupcakes from my blog. But I was worried the resolution would not be high enough as I usually resize my photos so that they would not take up too much memory. A pity, I really want to drool over dessert every time I use my laptop.

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained a super power, what would it be?

The power of teleportation, I think. There are so many places that I wish to go, like, at once!! It will not save the world, of course, but it will save me a lot of travel expenses LOL

Where do you want to travel to and why

Oh, as a Francophile, definitely Paris (and all of France if truth be told). Actually, any other European country would satisfy me just as well, I just want to soak in the grandeur of old European architecture (and as a glutton, feast like a pig on dainty gourmet food)!

A Lonely Robot In A Wasteland

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 18:31:31 +0800

Hello, tell us everything about yourself and where you live!

I live in Tuzla which is a city in Bosnia and Herzegowina and I am a student at the faculty of sports, I should get my degree in a few months Beside this I am a tennis coach, an amateur photograph and owner of a photograph shop, sometimes it is really hard to manage all that with blogging but I am a really hard working person so I really enjoy it.

What do you love to do during your free time

I play tennis or take photographs for my blog, and when I have more time on my hands I travel.

What’s the craziest thing a girl ever did for you

I am still waiting for that thing to happen

Tell us something bad that you want to or have done

Sometimes I want to beat up some people who annoy me but I control myself I can’t really say I am a bad boy and I like to think of myself as a nice person.

Where’s your favourite place to shop, do you have any tips on how to get cheap and good stuff?

My favorite places to shop right now are online shops because it is really hard for me to find some items I want in my country but beside that I really enjoy shopping vintage and second hand items at flea markets and small shops, sometimes you can find great quality items there at a cheap price.

What’s on your ipod/reading list

I hate to say that I don’t really have the time to read as much as I want to , but I usually follow and read a couple of blogs and catch some good newspaper article from time to time.

You had a chance to design your own Snupped case, how was it & why did you pick that artwork of yours.

I have to admit I was inspired by the work of Missoni, whom I really admire. Designing your own bag is such a cool experience and I am really satisfied how it came out in the end. It overcome my expectations and has served me very well.

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained a super power, what would it be?

Power to turn invisible whenever I want would be soo cool. Wouldn’t have anything agaist having Superman powers either, I already got the look :

my first post on lookbook

http://lookbook.nu/look/1072845-SUPERMAN

Where do you want to travel to and why

I have a huge lists of places I want to visit, I have recently been to Paris and Amsterdam so that is off my list for European cities but there are many left And than most cities in South America and Asia.

Hand-drawn map of London - Jenni Sparks

fuckyesmaps:

This amazing hand-drawn map of London is the work of illustrator Jenni Sparks. With so many details, it’s truly one of the greatest maps we’ve seen this year. On her Behance profile, Jenni states:

I was commissioned to create a map of London that would deviate from the norm and represent the city in all it’s vibrant, historic and eccentric glory. We wanted to make something that was not aimed purely at tourists, and instead focus on the local aspect of each borough of London. The map includes social stereotypes, famous landmarks, historical information, the nightlife and other quirky facts that even locals might not know.

This was a feat of endurance, and I was spending 12-14 hours a day drawing, only stopping for short breaks to eat and make coffee!

If you need this on your wall, you can get it at Evermade.

Snupped is Sticking Around

Make your very own funny sticker and have it printed out! Each pack of stickers is $5 and comes with 3 stickers. For each pack sold, $1.00 will be donated to the Business Times Budding Artists Fund. This donations will help The Little Arts Academy to provide a creative learning environment and a broad-based arts curriculum where all children can discover their artistic potential and develop skills and personal values that will enable them to transcend personal, social and financial circumstances.

We believe that every child who is interested in the arts should be given an opportunity to develop their talents and the lack of money should not hinder their interest!

Mon, 04 Jun 2012 15:31:00 +0800

Hello Valerie, tell us more about yourselves and where you live!

I’ve been rather small all my life (158cm now & probably forever) BUT YOU KNOW, I PREFER JUST REFERRING TO MYSELF AS FUN SIZE :) I’m the perfect stowaway size. I live in the same stuffy humid island as you guys. Singapore!

Are you, quirky, insane, or just simply just ridiculous. Elaborate if the answer is no?

People who only know of me through my videos get the shock of their lives when they meet me for the first time. I’m actually pretty quiet. Well, I’m only quiet till I become more comfortable with the person, and then it’s all out laughs, random dancing and bad puns. I guess you could say I’m different, but I’d like to think of it as different in a good way. Hey, I’m making people happy! I like making sure my friends stay happy:)

Describe the place you live in with one word, why?

Convenient. Well, I don’t want to reveal my location to the world, but I stay in a penthouse and it’s pretty convenient to everywhere :) also I have my own room, that’s always a plus point, I can’t make videos with everyone staring at me.

What was the biggest fight you ever got into

I was 10 and on the school bus back one day. My little brother, 7 years old then, was just sitting in a seat with his oversized school bag next to him when this hulking 12 years old girl came up to him, threw his bag in the aisle, and went, “this is my seat, get lost!” My little brother being all timid and small at that time started gathering his books that had spilled into the aisle with the girl just standing over him smirking. I was sitting at the back with some friends, and I got really angry after what I saw. (Remember, I’ve always been puny) I walked up to this girl who was probably a head taller than me, and twice my size and told her to back off and that she was being rude & unfair. She poked me in the chest and told me to mind my own business.

Well, something in my snapped, I punched her in the gut and shouted, “F**k you! I said leave my brother alone! What is your problem?!” I guess she didn’t expect me to retaliate, and that my punch caught her off guard, ‘cos she fell onto the floor and started silly primary school threats like “I” tell my mum!”

In a nutshell, she never did bully my little brother again, and I later got punished by my dad when my little brother told my dad that I had said the F-word. Oh well, all’s well now :)

What were you like in school apart from beating up bullies.

I’m pretty happy-go-lucky by nature and take most problems and setbacks in my stride and try to work on them. I’m pretty patient with people, I never shout. In the event that I do, it’s because the situation really calls for it. I was never bullied though, I somehow managed to give people the impression that I could hold my argument and fight. :)

I was always the unique kid in pri & sec school as I was a lot more outspoken than the usual conservative nature of Singaporean students. That was never a problem for me though, i still had friends, my teachers still liked me (besides this one discipline mistress that I really wish would fall in a drain), so my school life has been a blast. I love going to school, it’s a time where i get to spend time with my friends.

If the world comes to and end in 2012, what will you do

If the world ends.. won’t we all die? I would probably die too. LOL

Ok that was a bummer. What’s on your youtube must watch list

I’ve nothing on my must watch list! I just watch everything on the spot.

You turned our case into a hat, certainly a first, we hope. Why!

I hoped you guys like the video! It was great fun! I didn’t want to sell it as a plain ol’ laptop case. I wanted people to remember that video, so I put on my thinking hat.

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained a super power, what would it be?

I want to have photogenic memory, but that’s not a really a power.. hmm. I want to be a super genius, then I could probably build a cool suit kinda like iron man <3 yes, I really like iron man.

Say you gained your super power and you now have your suit, where would you go?

I’ve been to almost all of Asia & Australia, but i’ve never set foot in Europe, and i really really realllllly want to go there. Paris, Venice, Italy, France, Spain, everything! They’re some of the world’s most beautiful countries!

Hello Joie, tell us about yourself and where you live! Hello!...

Sat, 12 May 2012 20:20:00 +0800

Hello Joie, tell us about yourself and where you live!

Hello! I’m Joie and I’m seventeen this year and happily residing in sunny Singapore. I’m currently waiting to school in La Salle, where I’ll graduate with a Diploma in Music. Singing has always been such a joy for me, it’s the best form of expression. I’m an only child and it does get lonely at times. I guess that’s how I developed my love for music! My dad and mom actually sing too, so yea.

What do you love to do during your free time

There’s actually so much to do! Movies, coffee, friends, singing, jamming, reading, going to church, jamming! The list goes on! Oh, I have this little thing for my guitar, she’s always there for me when I”m lonely, very sweet!

You love surprises don’t you, tell us more!

Definitely! Actually, there was this once where I remember so well. It was a terrible day for me and cramps were literally killing me, I thought it was the end of the world until an uninvited guest showed up at my door with a box of chocolates and pills to save me! I was genuinely so touched, it’s times like these where it matters the most! *guys, hint hint*

AND!!! I have to tell you one more. A girlfriend of mine did the sweetest thing for me on my birthday. She got balloons (oh they’re so pretty), cards, gifts and most importantly, all my friends together, planned a SURPRISE lunch and took the effort to get tiaras for all of us! To make it even better, I had all the attention cause my tiara was the BIGGEST!

Tell us something mean that you want to or have done

Oh dear, must I really! Ok I must share this although I’m really not a big bully at all ok! I had this classmate who sat in front of me in class. She had really puffy curly hair, like CANDY FLOSS! Then the day finally came, a teacher was the reason for what I did. He was boring us to death and I had to find something to entertain myself and guess who did! That’s right, I decided to put stationery in her hair, bit by bit, one by one. It actually stayed inside until she turned around to talk to me. It then all flew out like bees leaving their hives! We’ve been really close friends since!

Would you consider yourself an impulsive person, why

I would! Because I often feel regretful. Haha, but it has gotten better. I always do something, get all red and embarrassed and regret it later. This is always because I never think twice before I do it, I better not choose a boy this way.

If the world comes to and end in 2012 and you have 3 minutes to sing a song, what would it be?

Probably Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus! I love that song.

And if the world doesn’t end in 2012, what are your plans.

I would love to continue doing music and pursue it.

Where’s your favourite place to shop

Shopping!!! It’s my specialty, haha! I love Forever 21 and flea markets, it’s always so lovely to finally something cheap and nice after a whole day of searching. On the days I get lazy, I simply move my mouse and click on different websites! We have really cool online shops in singapore which are called blogshops! They are simply bloggers who sell things on their blogs and we call them blogshops. Ok, maybe everyone else does!

What’s on your ipod/reading list

I have 1544 songs, 69 videos and about 200 pictures? I’m actually very into Indie music now. Some of my greatest influences are Norah Jones, Mandy Moore and Alicia Keys.

You had a chance to customise your own Snupped case, how was it & why did you pick that design?

I love my Snupped case to bits! I picked that design cuz I fell in love with the print when I first saw it! It came with my favourite red polka dots on the interior. P.s My favourite colour is red hehehe

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained a super power, what would it be?

Definitely to be Invisible so that I can sneak around and watch people going unnoticed, + I can put more stationaries in people’s hair!

Where do you want to travel to and why

Kenya. I have always wanted to go to Kenya. I just want to spend time with the kids and play games with them!

If you could sing a song for Snupped, what would you sing?

Happy by NeverShoutNever! Haha.

Sparkle me Alyssa Lau...

Tue, 27 Mar 2012 22:54:00 +0800

We caught up with Alyssa in Canada over the weekend. Time wasn’t on our side and with the sun fast setting we had to make it really quick, Alyssa warned us that she’ll turn into a monster if the weather turns too cold. Have fun!

Unable to move, we offered her our thoughts…

Hello, tell us everything about yourself and where you live!

Hello! My name is Alyssa, and I’m a 20-year-old 3rd-year Chemistry Major who lives in a place too cold for my liking (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada). Contrary to popular belief, Canada isn’t actually that cold. I just like to complain about the weather. If you wanted to know everything about me, my birthday is in February, I’m almost 5’6, and I’ve recently dyed my hair after telling myself for 8 years that I would never dye it again. I get bored easily with things, and I guess blogging helps to alleviate this incessant boredom. Most people assume that I can speak Chinese, but weirdly enough, I can speak more French than Chinese, and that’s not saying too much.

What do you do during your free time

I enjoy blogging in what spare time I have, but other than that, I sometimes like to play soccer if I’m not too lazy and I thoroughly enjoy taking my camera out for walks when it’s not too cold outside. I also like to play video games when I can scrape up enough time.

Who’s the guy who blogs with you at theordinarypeople and have you every gotten into a big fight with him

Kurtis would be his name. He’s my cousin and is a year younger than me. We’ve actually always gotten along pretty well. The biggest fight we had was probably when we were much younger (let’s say 5 years old) and playing with Pokemon toys. Even then I don’t think we fought.

Tell us something naughty that you want to or have done

Something naughty that I want to do would probably get a tattoo. Heck, it’s a little depressing that this is considered ‘naughty’, but my parents would not be too pleased with me if I did so.

Would you consider yourself an impulsive person, why

I wouldn’t quite consider myself an impulsive person most of the time. It really depends on my mood. I like to think that I’m relatively calm and collected…

If the world comes to and end in 2012 and you’re only allowed to prepare one outfit, what would it be

If I was only allowed to prepare one outfit for the end of the world, it’d have to be something insanely comfortable. So I might have to choose what I’m wearing right now—super comfy leopard-print leggings and my Sid Neigum tee. I might as well add in a pair of sneakers with that.

Where’s your favourite place to shop

My favourite place to shop would be sample sales, Urban Outfitters, or anywhere online. Words cannot express my love for shopping.

What’s on your ipod/reading list

Currently on replay on my iPod is Golden Baby by Coeur de Pirate, Call me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen (it’s addicting!), Titanium by David Guetta Ft. Sia, and Somebody That I Used To Know (TheFatRat Remix) by Gotye. As for my reading list—books 2 and 3 of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series!

You had a chance to design your own Snupped case, how was it & why did you pick that artwork of yours.

I absolutely loved it! I wanted something that I could look at and say, this is me (as cheesy as this sounds). I picked two photos—one of an ocean in Hawaii and one of some trees by my house—that show my favourite places on earth.

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained a super power, what would it be?

My super power would have to be teleportation or the ability to fly. Or time control. Or be able to materialize things (mostly clothes) out of thin air.

Where do you want to travel to and why

I want to travel to Europe. I went once when I was younger, but I don’t think I appreciated it as much as I should have. My cousin actually just came back from Italy recently, so just looking at all the shopping she did makes me want to go ten times more.

If you could dress the Snupped founders (Darcy & Bryan) up today, what would you make them wear.

This is a great question. Just for fun, I’d probably do some Lady Gaga inspired outfits and put Darcy and Bryan in some crazy clothes and shoes! Now wouldn’t that be fun?!

The Mad Twins, London & Paris.

The Mad Twins, London & Paris.

14,000 Thousand Miles For A Tale Of The Mad Twins, Paris & London.

Thu, 15 Mar 2012 17:06:00 +0800

Land Ahoy cried the little dwarf! After traveling 13756km on donkeys we finally arrived in the little city of Belgium where the people speak dutch, french, and german. Being unable to speak any of those languages, we pointed our way around, exchanged our donkeys and dwarf for some coins, and took something called the BUS! Amazing experience it was, it had little vents where air magically blew onto our faces.

We caught up with The Mad Twins, Paris & London near a patch of green paint known as grass to humanity, weird species they are. With a shield and a laser gun in hand, we were well prepared to meet the two maddies. To our horror, they gave us colourful sticks that had some sort of scent, “It’s called flowers, they make you happy!” said London. Paris simply smiled. Obviously, we didn’t believe her, up till today, we still believe its another plant that starts with the letter M.

The interrogation began…

Hello Paris & London, tell us more about yourselves and where you live!

We’re from the Belgian blog the mad twins. The title of our blog explains that we are twins and mad. We explain our imagination and inspiration in our blog. We love art and making up stories and imagining our mad world. The blog is our world where we can create everything we want. It’s almost like playing dress up and creating a personal story we would love to share with our readers. Paris studies Social Work while London is studying to become an art teacher. When we aren’t working on the blog, we are probably studying or drawing, painting,… or being crazy. We love to get away from reality and we can talk to each other for hours about nonsense.

How do we know who’s London & who’s Paris

We always, or most of the time put our name in the blog post so that you know who’s standing on the pictures. Though we look alike we have a different style. London is more playful while Paris is more serious. London dresses more romantic as Paris. Unfortunately you can’t see our brows because of the haircut, but London has a scar in her brow. That is actually the first time we reveal this “secret”.

What do the both of you love to do

We love drawing, making flowered headbands, singing, dancing (London danced 13 years ballet and modern jazz), watching movies, creating theme parties (we still have to do so many!), laughing, shopping, blogging.. and a lot more.

What was the biggest fight you both ever got into with each other

We don’t really have big fights, luckily! We sometimes can be angry but after three minutes we already forgave each other. It’s so lovely that we can forgive each other so fast.

How is Belgium like

Belgium is a special place. We are always busy with places outside Belgium we want to visit so bad, and never actually look at the place where we live. We have lovely cities like Gent and Antwerp,…, we have amazing museums and parks, monuments, artist. Belgium is small and the weather is most of the time very bad, but it certainly has something special and besides; a place can always be beautiful as long as you believe it is.

Where’s your favourite place to shop

Definitely in Antwerp! There are a lot of amazing shops. We especially love the vintage shops there. They are cheap and have a certain charm.

If the world comes to and end in 2012 and you’re only allowed to prepare one outfit, what would it be.

We would try to pick out something bright. We guess most of the people would wear black and we do agree that black was the first color that came in our minds, but it’s better to think about the good things and dress the last day cheerful. We would go for long elegant dresses colored melon yellow. Elegant and sad at the same time, though the color explains that we had a great time.

And if the world doesn’t end in 2012, what are your plans.

Of course we finish our studies and hope to find a job, keep blogging and dreaming. We hope we can have fun together and travel a lot. There are still a lot of countries we want to see!

What’s on your ipod/reading list

We listen to a lot to soundtracks and currently we listen to the soundtracks of “never let me go”. The songs are very touching. We also listen to the Japanese band Versailles at the moment. We still want to read a lot of Jane Austin books. We absolutely adore her books!

What’s your favourite snupped case and why

The ones we have chosen. The case with the owls was so cute and the colors were so expressive. It makes you happy when you look at it! The second one we have chosen was a more romantic case with lovely illustrations. It had something calm and beautiful. Though it was very hard to choose,from all the cases. There were so many amazing designs.

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained a super power, what would it be?

We would love to have the ability to make people happy. It would be the most wonderful gift in the world!

Where do you want to travel to

We want to go to Japan, China, Africa, London, New York, India, Spain, Greece. We certainly want to see a lot of the world!

Any fashion advice for ladies/men

First of all, be yourself! Don’t change your style for others, your styles has to be a reflection of who you are.

With A Mouthful Of Donuts & A Whip In Hand

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 00:00:23 +0800

We were given a set of rules before meeting up with Ashley, the 20 year old artist, photographer, & donuts lover from the dark side. “Come in black, bring coffee & donuts, wear ray bans, don’t be neat, …, …” After about an hour, we were released from her prison only after we promised to bring her more donuts and buy her a plane ticket to Tokyo.

Hello Ashley, tell us more about yourself and where you live

I’m 20 years old and I’m from New Hampshire originally but I’m currently a graphic design student in Massachusetts, so the majority of my time is spent there.

What are your passions

I’m absolutely in love with fashion and combining it with photography. The whole high fashion editorial genre is my real obsession. I’m constantly working at perfecting my editing, styling, and photography skills in hopes that I could make it in some aspect of that industry. I’m also very passionate about art. I’ve done everything from classic acrylic portraits to tattoo designs and custom shoe design.I tend to fall in love with anything that involves design or being creative.

How is it like in the place you live in

It’s funny because people may look at what I wear and think that I come from some major fashion capital of the world, but I come from a small town where most people are extremely casual. New Hampshire is more of a place to watch the leaves change colors than watch a runway show. Then again, it is really a beautiful place to live if you like nature and going from below freezing winters to scorching summers. Massachusetts is far more fast paced so I much prefer being in a busy and lively atmosphere.

What’s the darkest thing you’ve ever done

Oh dear…the darkest thing I’ve ever done…. surprisingly I’m naturally kind of a “good girl” despite the fact that I wear black leather and spikes on a daily basis, but I have been known to have a pretty twisted sense of humor.

If people ask me for directions I usually tell them the exact opposite way that they need to go, or I just show up to places completely overdressed and decked out in sequins just to make people slightly uncomfortable and confused. I have little ways of being evil but I have yet to do anything absolutely sinister. Not yet. :)

Where’s your favorite place to shop

I do a lot of shopping online lately do to the fact that I’m always so busy balancing a million priorities. I’m constantly on karmaloop.com, forever 21, Asos, Hot Topic, and Solestruck’s website. I tend to buy things and then fix them up to make them my own. Etsy is also a great place to find unique items ad well!

If the world comes to and end in 2012 and you’re only allowed to prepare one outfit, what would it be
That’s a toughie, but I would have to go with my Betsey Johnson sequin mini dress and Jeffrey Campbell black suede Night Walks. And of course, I would throw a classic leather jacket over the entire ensemble. Might as well greet the end of the world with the most obnoxiously sparkly outfit out there!

And if the world doesn’t end in 2012, what are your plans

If the world doesn’t end, I plan on finishing college, and eventually traveling the world. I secretly hope to land a dream job somewhere in between the traveling and sporadic picture taking adventures, but for now I just plan on eventually attaining success in the art world somehow.

What’s on your ipod/reading list

My poor Ipod is a jumbled mess of everything from Kanye West to the Dead Weather. Lately I’ve been addicted to Phantogram, the Black Belles, Sleigh Belles, and Lana Del Rey. Sometimes I can’t resist a bit of Nicki Minaj or Dubstep but it totally depends on my mood. My reading list is all over the place as well. I’m dying to read Imagine by Jonah Lehrer as well as Sleeping with the Enemy: Coco Chanel’s Secret War and Memoirs of a Geisha. I’m always reading international fashion magazines cover to cover so I guess you could say they earn a permanent spot on my list.

You had the opportunity to turn your own artwork into a snupped spacesuit, did you like it?

Oh I absolutely love it! It’s really cool to be able to have any of my art or prints sold. With everything being so fast paced these days I have no choice but to carry my laptop around with me at all times, so it’s lovely to have a case that reflects my personality and design aesthetic.

Tell us a secret

hmmm…a secret? I’ve had a strong desire to become a tattoo artist since I was 15. The whole tattoo industry and history is just so fascinating to me and leaves me secretly craving the opportunity to learn how to do it. I have such a high respect for anyone who can create a permanent masterpiece on the human body that I can’t help but secretly want to be one of those brilliant artists.

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained a super power, what would it be?

The power to be able to cook food that actually tastes good would be just wonderful. I suppose flying would be fun but I would kill to have mad skills in the kitchen.

Any fashion advice for ladies/men
Life is just too short to wear a bad outfit so take every opportunity to be bold with what you put on everyday. Stop caring about what other people think and embrace the idea of creative freedom in how you present yourself. Mix and match, wear neon lipstick, accessorize, and be fabulous! And always add a touch of black!

What would you do if one day you found your closet totally empty? (Asked by Tricia Goingsitian)

I would cry my eyes out!! Not that I’m materialistic at all, but I view my wardrobe as a collection more than anything. I mean, people collect stamps and baseball cards and action figures, right? Kind of the same situation only my collection is being used on a daily basis. But I would pretty much be traumatized if that ever happened. They’re like my children!

Ask the next person a question

If you could raid any celebrities closet, whose would it be?

Tricia Will Go Places & So Will You

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:45:00 +0800

After flying all over the world to catch this lovely little doll, we finally caught her, tied her up, sat her down onto a chair, gave her a cup of coffee, and got her into an interview =) Tricia Gosingtian loves her clothes, travels and she takes pictures for a living!

Tricia, tell us more about yourself and where you live!

I’m Tricia Gosingtian, half-Chinese half-Filipino, but born and raised in sunny Manila. I take pictures for a living, but also document my work, travels, personal style and lifestyle in my blog, Tricia Will Go Places. And, I can’t drink my coffee if I’m tied up, please untie me.

What are your passions?

I’m very much inspired by Japanese aesthetics, fashion and culture. I used to be inspired by Popteen magazine when I was younger, but at the moment ViVi magazine is somewhat like my monthly fashion bible. I think it’s really the perfect embodiment of my love for both Japanese fashion and Western high street fashion.

I’m also very passionate about photography, which is my first love. Before blogging, I was really active on the Internet with my photography.

I also love food (I instagram pretty much everything I eat… and I eat a lot!) and video games.

How is it like where you live?

Wonderful! I really do think that the Philippines is such a glorious country that everybody should visit.

And, your favorite place to shop?

Topshop, Zara, Mango, Forever 21, online stores, etc.

What if the world comes to and end in 2012 and you’re only allowed to prepare one outfit, what would it be.

I’d go for something really simple, like a chic top and a nice pair of jeans. I think I’d rather focus on things other than fashion if I knew that the world will come to an end soon!

And if the world doesn’t end in 2012, what are your plans.

Travel, travel, and more travel. Also, hoping to get back to doing photography again since I was really tied down with other things last year!

What’s on your ipod/reading list

Foster the People - I Would Do Anything For You, Passion Pit - Sleepyhead, Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla, Ben Folds - The Luckiest, Two Door Cinema Club - What You Know, Damien Rice - Delicate, Phoenix - 1901, Metronomy - The Look, Arashi - Meikyuu Love Song

What’s your favourite snupped case and why

So in love with the Love de Cru print! The one for my 15” MacBook Pro is perfect.

If you were granted one wish today, what would you wish for? Don’t be greedy!

To have more wishes, of course!

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained a super power, what would it be?

Time travel.

You’re always on the move, where’s next?

Europe! I’ve been to Italy before and I’m going to the UK and Paris this year. Hopefully I can go to other places in Europe like Spain, etc.

Any fashion advice for ladies/men

Be yourself.

Ask the next person a question.

What would you do if one day you found your closet totally empty?

A little bit of nadj & a little bit of cayco

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:54:46 +0800

Hello, tell us more about yourself

Nadia. Born and bred in the Philippines, studied and currently working in SG. I am in the IT industry, but I blog about food and fashion just for fun.

What are you passions

Computer, fashion, food and adventures.

How is it like in the place you live in

I live in both Philippines & Singapore

Philippines is a really nice place to live in or to go to because of two things: It has several beautiful and breath-taking places (so many, I haven’t even been to half of it) and the people are so friendly and oozing with positivity. That’s what makes Philippines special. As they say, it’s more fun in the Philippines! J

Singapore is a culturally-diversed country. You can learn different things from the different people and their different traditions. Oh, Singapore is also cuisine hot-spot. You can have an authentic taste of the world in just one city!

Where’s your favourite place to shop

I love Forever 21, Cotton On and Zara. For cheap finds, I always go to Bugis (Singapore)!

If the world comes to and end in 2012 and you’re only allowed to prepare one outfit, what would it be.

It’d probably my dream wedding gown. I’ve always pictured myslef on that special day, but if the end of the world is just around the corner, and by that time I’m still single, I would just wear my wedding gown. At least I’ll die happy.

And if the world doesn’t end in 2012, what are your plans.

Live my life to the fullest, love more, and be successful.

What’s on your ipod/reading list

House music and the usual latest billboard hits. I’m not much of a reader, but when I do, I like reading Sophie Kinsella’s books.

What’s your favourite snupped case and why

Of course, the owl case! Honestly, it was a difficult decision for me at first because of the numerous options and beautiful designs. But the playful contrast of the owls’ colors and the black background won my heart.

If you were granted one wish today, what would you wish for?

To have thousand more wishes!

If you could wake up tomorrow having gained a super power, what would it be?

Before I would love to have the power to read other peope’s mids. But in my current situation, I would like to have the power to teleport instantly from one place to another.

Where do you want to travel to
First, I want to travel to some of the untouched or underrated parts of the Philippines, like Caramoan and Anawaning cove. Then, my next target would be Asian countries, Bangkok for one. As for my finale, I would travel to my ultimate dream destination, Greece.

Any fashion advice for ladies/men
As cliché as it may sound, do not restrict your style to the current trend or to what other people might say. Style your hearts out. And if you ever face a fashion disaster moment, treat it as a learning experience J
