pictures from the design festa* gotta love the things they wear.
i couldn’t resist the namecards. i mean who can resist pandas with twinkly eyes and pigs in briefs. aliceandthecat.com if you are interested. oh, and he’s not the artist but the agent. and italian too. but for a split second, when the flashes of cameras that suddenly appeared behind me went off, he broke into a j-worthy pose.
gotta love the things they wear part II. the cutie with the blonde hair and big white bow is a HE! he knew that i knew and was looking away, all uncomfortable, the whole time. how kawaii <3 love the CD hat too. and lots of bondage-animal sightings.
too cute. what more can i say!
one of my favourite installations. for the sake of art, she was stuck there in that awkward sitting position pretending to read a book under really dim orange light. and all i can think of is pins and needles. ouch.
another nice booth and installation with cool models thrown in for good measure: the ever photogenic cynthia,
and meriel and jason. i love their spontaneity! the picture would have been so blah without them.
it was a good weekend trip despite having been on an energy low for the past week. i met up with my ex-housemate, her hubby and sister too. if there’s one thing i’m blessed with, it is that i’m surrounded by really kind people. there are lots of things that i’m leaving unwritten, but i just want to say that i’m always counting my blessings.
and now, to break out of this inertia i have been feeling for so long.

Hey Bekah, wow, you work fast…good to see those pictures you took! They’re really colorful & look like lots of fun. It didn’t that vibrant or unique when we were there to me. But your pictures showed a different story – a deep bow to your photography & editing skills! I haven’t even had time to view the pictures I took on my camera, let alone try to edit them on my new MacBook. Sigh, work keeps me very busy..I need a break!
It was great to catch up with you. できれば、東京に時々来てね。待ってます。彼も連れって来て！＾＿＾★

sorry for the long absence! thanks for the comments!
matt, the design festa is held in tokyo twice a year i think. its really quite big. lotsa things to see! i dont do design anymore, but i still love pretty things.
cynthia, it was so much fun catching up with u and meriel. i miss u girls! enjoy ur macbook! i wish i have one too but will gaman and wait till my old laptop gives way. hee
wendy, it was a good festival really. had to travel 4 hours just to be there! but you are right. got to love them.
jamie, its pretty big and basically anyone can get themselves a booth and showcase their works. i cant see myself being stuck there for 2 whole days, surrounded by tons of other creative people displaying their works. it takes a lot to stand out. so… i will just be self-indulgent on my blog. hehe
crys, it was fun! well, i guess its for people who wants to show/ sell their creative works be it photographs, illos, accessories or even shoes! it was pretty cool!
