Sexy Corset Party @ Werner's Changkat

Do you like to shop online? Heels, dresses, tops, anything from top to toe, you can get it online. Just a few clicks and you’ll get your package, all in the comfort of your home. Recently, I was invited to A Sexy Corset Party with the theme “Candy Girl” at Werner’s, Changkat. It is a collaboration of Rarablack.com, Corset Me, and Lovely Legs.

We were given 4 coupons that can be redeemed on that night, and another 2 where we can get discounts when doing online shopping at Rarablack.com, and Lovely Legs. 2 for cocktails, 1 for a photoshoot session by Studio EightyEight, and 1 for a makeover by Beverlyn Ooi. But these vouchers can only be redeemed on that night itself tho.

Before the event starts, we were treated to some cocktails and some snacks as well.

After a short speech by Charmaine, we were taught on how to wear a corset, and how to maintain it by Jaycee. After that, we were given a chance to try on the corsets and leggings, and have our photoshoot taken right there.

Corset Me

A corset is a close-fitting piece of clothing that has been stiffened by various means in order to shape a woman’s torso to conform to the fashionable silhouette of the time.

How to wear a corset:

Always remember to unloosen the ties before you don on your corset or unsnap the front studs.

If it is front big hook, then aligned the corset and wrap around your body. The hooks are usually to be latched on from right to left stud. Start from the second last at the bottom and work your way up then only adjust the last hook. After that you can pull your ties at the back.

If it is the small hooks, it can be at your left side or in the middle. Best hook up from the bottom and not hook down. Keeping your fingers always tapered onto the edge of your corset and work your way up.

If it is zipped-up, just loosen ties and once zipped up pull your ties at the back.

If it is just a tie-up corset then loosen the ribbons with both the loop on either side tied in dead knot before you wiggle top down into the corset and finish if off by pulling the ties at your back.

If your friend is tying the ties for you, ensure that they do not tie you up too tight till you can’t breathe or that 

the corset fabric is overstretched as at a breath, you may rip the corset.

How to maintain a corset:

-          Hand wash the corset in lukewarm water with a mild non-biological detergent.

-          Rinse thoroughly.

-          No not wring but pat dry gently with a towel, then stretch gently to regain its original shape.

-          To dry, hang your corset horizontally across a coat hanger or back of a chair, or lay it flat on an airer. Dry away from direct heat otherwise your corset fabric may shrink.

-          Do not let it stay damp for too long as that will damage the steel bones or hooks or studs.

-          If necessary, apply cool setting ironing on the reversed side of the corset.

-          Do not risk on dry cleaning. After each wear, allow corset to air out for a while before hanging it back to the closet.

-          Corset are best worn over another slip, blouse, vest, top or dress to avoid having to wash it too often as that is not recommended.

TheStar ePaper, yay or nay?

I would like to say sorry to everyone for MIA-ing for 5 months. Have been busy with my studies (yea.. I'm still busy right now).

So, back to the topic. Just downloaded the app TheStar ePaper for my iPhone. If you click the link using your computer, it will show you like some sort of a layout for the newspaper. Kinda like reading newspaper in a PDF format. And when you click to go to the next page, it will be "flipped" to the next page. Kinda cool in a way.

On the right side, there's thumbnails for the whole newspaper, where you can easily scroll through to look for a particular news, and when you click on the thumbnail, it will be flipped to that page.

When you hover your pointer towars the The Star Malaysia on the top left corner, it will come out with the other sub sections for the newspaper, like Metro Central, Metro North, etc etc. The Calendar, is for you to choose the newspaper date. But if you're looking for much older news, I suggest that you search for it from the official website.

When you hover your pointer towards the Table of Contents near the top of the page, there will be a drop down menu where you can hover your pointer to any news section, and there will be another section coming out on the right, showing the news in that particular section. There's an article rank, showing which are the news that have more views. The blue color box with a number in it, is the page number. Follow by the various news, and the first paragraph of the news, which usually contain summary of the news.

Anyway, that's the website version of e paper. Below is the iPhone version.

First you need to sign up for an account in TheStar website. There's a Sign Up at the top right corner of the website. After you signed up (fill in your details etc etc), then you'll receive a confirmation email. After confirming, go back to your iPhone, click Settings, under Account, click on the Free Account to key in your email address and password to authorize it. Once authorized, you can start downloading the e paper.

To download the latest copy of the e paper, just go to the "Store" at the right hand corner, and there will be a list of the latest e paper available. After you clicked on it, it will download to your phone, and will be like the print screen above. Under My Library, it will show all your downloading and downloaded e paper.

As usual, you can zoom in and out by pinching your finger on the screen. Scroll left to the previous page, and scroll right to the next page. At the bar below, you can quickly scroll through the pages instead of scrolling right, page per page. Just click on the bar, and then it will come out something like the print screen above. Then you can easily scroll through the pages. Or you can click on which news section you want to read by clicking on the arrow beside the bar to choose which news section you want to read.

You can also print screen or print the page by clicking on the icon with the arrow coming out of a box on top of the page. You can choose the printer and number of copies if you want to print the page.

To download the app, just go to AppStore and search for TheStar ePaper.
And by the way, the free subscription is only until end of April 2012. I'm not sure how much they are gonna charge later tho. In the mean time, go download and try it out. It's free anyway.

Experience of using it, well, I'm not using tablet, so it's a bit small and hard for me to read the news because I need to keep zooming in and out. But I like it because it is the same with the printed version, and it's convenient to bring around (since it's in my phone). And once I've downloaded it, I don't need Internet connection to read it. So you can just download it using WiFi, and read it afterwards. I'm sure it would be convenient for those with iPad, and all the other tablets available because of the bigger screen. However, I would still prefer the paper version. It is called newspaper after all. :p

Sweet dreams

Nope, this is not a post about a sweet dream i had. It's about a song i'm sure some of you had heard before.
It's by Eurythmics. Don't know who are they?

They are British pop rock duo, which was formed in 1980, but currently disbanded. The female member is Annie Lennox, while the male member is David A.Steward. For more information on the band, you can check out the wikipedia for the band, or their website.

I find it quite true about this song. Everybody is looking for something in this world. But at the same time, while we are looking for that something, we will use people, or being used by other people in order to get what we want.

As for the song, here it is, it's call Sweet Dreams:

Have a sweet dream, and all the best in getting what you want in life.

Don Don Sushi Part 1

Whenever i feel like wanna have a quick bite of japanese food. I thought of Don Don Sushi.

It was only available at small stalls in various college, where there's only sushi rolls and temaki. But now, there are available in shop as well, where they serve donburi (japanese rice bowl dish). It is extremely convenient for those who are on the run. They can eat it while walking towards classes or in the class room, eat it while doing work in the office (especially for those rushing for some deadlines), or even eat it while driving.

In my next post, I'm gonna post up what's available in the shop. =)
