Remember, remember, it's the twenty-fourth of November...

This weekend's Fash Bash event may have been pushed back to 15 Dec 07, but there are still reasons for joy. We have received news that the Singapore Council of Women's Organisations has decided to set up a monthly Waterloo Bazaar at 96 Waterloo Street. The first will be held this Sat, 24 Nov 07, from 10am - 6pm.

SCWO will also be opening their thrift store during the bazaar. Double the treat! I have always wanted to go down to their store again, but it opens during weekdays and very briefly at that (10:30am - 2:30pm). If you like the thrill of a Hunt, this is one store you should visit.

Peace Guy & Equestrian Lady*

"We are part of the Singapore Scooters and have dressed up to attend an opening event. In fact, we just came from the event and are waiting for the other members... Is she (Equestrian Lady) wearing a riding helmet? Yes, she is. Girls in Japan wear the same thing when they ride their scooters. It's a fashion thing."

*Both names are fictional because yours truly forgot to ask.

"Actually, this is not my dog. He belongs to a friend."

The friend in question is Candy, the quirky mastermind behind White Dog Bobby. However, the handsome fella in the picture is not Bobby, but Hungry.




Serene

"I didn't know I had so many colours for my pieces... so I decided to showcase the colour swaths as a necklace and it has turned out to be more popular than I expected. People have been coming up to me and asking if I had similar pieces for sale. One lady even ordered for an exact replica."

Serene is one of the trio behind t43 who make their jewellery by hand. It's pretty amazing when you consider the intricacy of their pieces. Necklaces consisting of acrylic swirls and whorls that have a butter smooth finish around their edges and Chinese calligraphy burnt on paper-thin gauze pleated to resemble flowers. Their website is a little bare at the moment, but it does list places where you can find their work.




Rage

"We (The Proletariat Poetry Factory) were inspired by Before Sunrise. Have you watched the movie? No? There's this beggar in it. But rather than begging for money, he write poems in exchange for money. We're something like that."

This is how the whole process goes:

• Provide a word/term to a poet.
• Provide a name (optional).
• Stand back.
• Watch the poets' fingers fly across the typewriters.
• Notice the poets are plugged to headphones and the music may or may not be provided by 2 guys (armed with one mixer and a guitar) beside them.
• Wait.
• Receive poem.
• Donate.

They churn out pretty good stuff.

Where on earth is Carmen Sandiego?

Well, if she pops by our little island this coming weekend, she's in for a treat. Here's a brief listing of places to be, see and be seen this weekend.

• A little bird sang that a "Garage Sale" is happening at 301 Jalan Bukit Ho Swee. Not just any garage sale, but one with items coming from the wardrobes of fashion insiders. We are talking about Jimmy Choo, Sass & Bide, Betsey Johnson and the likes. Click on the thumbnail below for more information.

• The 'A is for Andy' exhibition. Surely you must know of it! The 2-day exhibition will be held at 72-13 Mohamed Sultan Road, from 10am to 10pm. Culture vultures should not miss this one.
