The Babes of the Malaysian Moto GP 2014


[Women]

 
 
I’ve been very very blessed to be hosted by Marlboro M-Scape in the exclusive VIP Ducati lounge in the Paddock Club at SIC for Moto GP a couple of times and I must say that it is the ultimate way to watch Moto GP. In the lounge were lots of activities including a visit by the riders, games, quiz to win exclusive merchandise, and also lots of delicious food and drinks. Look out for my post on that wonderful experience coming soon.
In the meantime, here are some hotties I managed to capture when I was walking around the mall are in SIC. Enjoy!

2015 Mercedes-Benz AMG Petronas F1 Party


[Event]
 The venue was the Symphony Lake Suite @ KLCC
 
Headed over to the 2015 Mercedes-Benz AMG Petronas F1 Party on 28 March 2015 at Symphony Lake Suite, KLCC for an F1 party featuring a fashion show by Zang Toi, Joe Chia, and Bon Zainal, Designer of the Year of the Mercedes-Benz STYLO Fashion Grand Prix 2014. Symphony Lake Suite is actually a building situated across the Symphony Lake (the lake with the fountain outside Suria KLCC) which serves as a versatile event space for events, launches and parties.
Surprisingly this year was a rather quiet year for F1 in Kuala Lumpur, and there were hardly any F1 parties unlike previous years when a lot of F1 team sponsors would throw their parties. Guess with the worsening economy and the onset of GST a lot of brands were hesitant to spend their marketing budget, or perhaps as F1 has been coming to Malaysia since 1999 perhaps it doesn’t garner so much attention as it did previously.
Well that certainly didn’t stop the 2014 world champions Mercedes-Menz AMG Petronas F1 team in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz Malaysia and STYLO from going all out by throwing a really good party for their customers and invited guests. We got to enjoy lots of delicious food, loads of drinks, good entertainment, and there was even a photo booth with props. 
Definitely the F1 party of the year, and if F1 is back in Malaysia next year I certainly hope that Mercedes-Benz will throw another awesome party!
 
 Outside the event venue was a really cool outlined model of an F1 car
 Inside there was a model of the Mercedes-Benz AMG Petronas F1 car which I think is from the 2013 season before the new lower nose regulations were introduced in 2014. Girls just couldn’t keep themselves off it.

Didn’t take any photos of the fashion shows as we were rather far back in the hall mingling with our friends and enjoying the food and drinks. Also as we had already seen the collections by the designers during the previous STYLO nights at The Strand we didn’t quite mind.

A Busy Saturday


[Sneak Peak!]
Here’s a little preview of the posts to come soon! It was a busy Saturday for me as I attended four events back to back.
First up was the Wanderlust + Co & Rebellz – Tea Party SS10/11 at The Hill, Damansara Heights.
The owners of the Rebellz fashion label.
Does this photo look familiar? Well we (Malaysia’s Hottest Bloggers) tried to recreate the photo we took when we did our food review here 2 months back.
Then on to the ALCON launch at Souled Out in Desa Sri Hartamas. By the time I got there I had missed most of the performances but the food and drinks were still flowing. Snapped this pic of Cher Ru (L) with her friend.
Then on to the 3rd event of the day – the X Top Model Search 2011 at Pyramid Ice, Sunway Pyramid. Spotted Amber on the panel of judges and she happily posed for me.
Yes that is Henry Golding (I can see you girls swooning) with the 10 finalists
Then on to the last event of the day – FREEDOM 360 which was at MAP KL, Solaris Dutamas. They didn’t allow cameras so I had to use my Samsung Galaxy S II instead.
Spotted my old clubbing kakis – Mabel, Diane and Pamela (L-R)

Versace Menswear Fall Winter 2016


[Luxury Fashion]

 
 
It’s written in the stars – this is the universe of Versace and it was duly presented in the Versace Menswear Fall Winter 2016 fashion show. The show featured styling by David Bradshaw, hair by Guido Palau, makeup by Pat McGrath, music by Simon Halsberghe and fibre optic fabrics powered by DreamLux.
Astronomy, astrology, man in space: a wardrobe from the heavens for the Versace man today. Fiber optic tracksuits are like the future now, while light-up sweatshirts have piping as if from astronaut suits. Sleek tailoring and space-age metallic trenches are worn over white roll necks, while Prince of Wales suits are embellished with eyelets and grommets.
Unlined coats in double-faced raw-edged cashmere are the grey of the moon, the ultimate when worn with cashmere joggers. An iconic Versace astrological print is reworked and revitalized, while a star map Medusa print has been newly developed and looks perfect on jeans. Tracksuits are the essential of tomorrow, whether its merino wool zip-ups with a zig-zag at the neck, or drawstring track pants enriched with embellishments.
MA1 flying jackets have astronaut attitude, while outerwear is embellished as if with space debris, and shearling collar denim jackets are like a space uniform. Colours and fabrics refer to the galaxies, whether its metallic leather zip-ups in Neptune blue, double-breasted coats the beige of moonstone, and tweeds like the Milky Way.
Cropped leather jackets are embroidered with patches like an astronaut’s mementos, while lapel badges on coats and suits are like the emblem of a spaceship. Crystals decorate denim jackets and jeans like a constellation of stars. Lace-ups have chunky soles but no instep, as if cut away, while trainers are like tech cycling boots. Bags come with their own protective covering. The new V-Race Driver watch makes its debut, with a special catwalk edition with a mother-of-pearl dial as if for the surface of the moon.
“The Versace man is a pioneer, his ambition as big as the universe. This is a collection for men who are totally real, totally bold and totally connected with the future.” Donatella Versace

[Luxury Fashion]

 
Swiss luxury jewellery and watch brand Chopard threw a big party on 30 September 2017 at Pavilion KL to announce its collaboration with superstar singer, Rihanna on its latest jewellery collection named, Rihanna ♥ Chopard. The 9-piece collection is crafted from 18ct rose ethical gold certified Fairmined, and will be available with icy polished or diamond set gold cubes with Jungle Green coloured ceramic. Chopard’s new fine jewellery iteration inspired by similar clean geometric lines, called Ice Cube Pure, is also available at a more accessible value.
At the launch party, Chopard orchestrated a string of performances that reflected Rihanna’s effortless confidence starting with a hip hop themed flash mob routine, followed by mini Sheila Majid, Kayda, a rising hip hop rapper and singer, who treated guests to a few Rihanna remixes, and DJ Goldfish & Blink on the decks.
Guests were kept entertained by performances and activities such as shooting a vogue loop video with Chopard’s latest Ice Cube messenger bag, which will be available in stores at the end of the year. Chopard’s claw machine was also a hit among guests, with many trying their luck for a chance to win a Chopard teddy bear, while sweet-tooths tried their hand at making their own cotton candy.

While the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2018 (KLIMS 2018) is an exciting showcase of the latest cars and automobiles from various brands including Lexus, Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Peugeot, DS, Citroen, Kia, Ford, Hyundai, Isuzu, Nissan and more, there are also a whole bevy of beauties that add that extra glamour to the show.
There were plenty of new faces at KLIMS 2018, however there were also some familiar faces who have been in the industry for quite a while such as popular Instagrammer and social media influencer Crystal Swung who was a major hit with many photographers, as were Germaine Ong and Joyce Low, proving that they could easily not only keep up with the young early 20’s girls but even outshine them!
The Hyundai booth though garnered lots of attention as Hyundai Malaysia brought in some Korean models to supplement the leggy local models!
Here’s a look at some of the beautiful girls, car models and brand ambassadors at the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2018 (KLIMS 2018) that added some life and excitement to the dazzling and gleaming machines on display.

There was never going to be any way for any girl to upstage the gorgeous Germaine Ong who is a firm favourite among many press photographers and journalists.
  

Instagrammer and social media influencer Crystal Swung was also a favourite among the media

GUESS New White Concept Store KLCC Launch


[Event]

 
Rachel and I headed over to Suria KLCC in Kuala Lumpur on 5 May 2016 for the opening of GUESS Malaysia’s first white concept store in Suria KLCC. The store covers a total of approximately 2,300 square feet and houses women and men ready-to-wear, handbags, timepieces, jewelry and accessories.
GUESS was established in 1981 and initially began as a jeans company. It has since successfully grown into a global lifestyle brand and today, Guess?, Inc. designs, markets, distributes and licenses a lifestyle collection of contemporary apparel, denim, handbags, watches, footwear and other related consumer products. 
Guess? products are distributed through branded Guess? stores as well as better department and specialty stores in 95 countries around the world. As of 30 January 2016, the company directly operated over 800 retail stores in the Americas, Europe and Asia. The company’s licensees and distributors operated approximately 800 additional retail stores worldwide and in Malaysia FJ Benjamin operates the stores here.
In line with the restyled global denim-concept store launched in 2016, the new GUESS store provides an exciting and inspiring atmosphere. The clean, bright white themes, featuring contrasting materials and glamorous details, provides a contemporary feel, while flexible modular panels make for a dynamically changing shopping experience.
The new layout celebrates the GUESS heritage through imagery while enhancing the focus on product displays. White shelving along the walls host the brand’s clothing, while handbags and shoes are featured throughout the store and accessories, are displayed in sleek central display. The store also features fully-accessorized ‘must-have’ looks, with the GUESS logo making every style instantly recognizable.
