Bathing Ape or Fading Ape?

It has been 3 months since my last blog entry. Really don't know what to write ma, this Tim forced me to write something today, Ok la, I'm going to write about one of my favorite brands.

If you're into high-end streetwear, I'm sure you heard of BAPE or Bathing Ape by Nigo (Teriyaki Boyz). Like a lot of famous streetwear such as Mastermind Japan, BBC, CLOT (CLOT is not an abbreviation of "Cunt Licking Obviously w/ Tongue) by Edison Chen (I'm sure he is more famous with something else). You'll see a lot of those too in places like Sg Wang, Time Square, etc. But hey, they are real fakes (what an oxymoron).

With more and more "R&D" funds, the fakes look quite real nowadays. However, there are still flaws, I found this video from Youtube and thought it was quite useful:



This video serves as a good tool for BAPE fans to identify the fakes, especially when we are buying from the parallel importers or ebay. It is however advisable to get it from the BAPE stores, there is one in Singapore (nearest), one at Central HK, Taipei, and bunch of them from Tokyo, Japan (cheaper in Japan).

So next time make sure you get yourself a Bathing Ape not Fading Ape ;p

I am a Vainpot!?

One day my friend im me via msn....It went something like this

Friend: hey are you up for a challenge?

Me: What is that?

Friend: It requires courage

Me: Bring it on!

Friend: Wanna participate in Cleo Most Eligible 50 Bachelor shit?

Me: Huh? i'm not good looking at all wor, I can't lar.

Friend: It's ok one, they don't need good looking people, they need VAINPOT.

Me: ......

When I got home, I would like to see if I was really a vainpot. I did 3 things, checked my closet, checked my toiletries, and checked out the books I read...

To my surprise:

I have not less than 12 bottles of cologne, 2 sets of facial products, 4 cans of hair wax of which 3 of them are different variance and for different occasions, osme all over shampoos, moisturizer, lip balm, face mask, eye mask. Those in the picture are only 60%-70% of what I have.

In the picture, there are more than 20 t-shirts and they contribute to less than 30% of the number of t-shirts that I have; excluding tons of shirts, some suits, peacoat, trencoat, lether jacket, dozen of jeans.....ok enough...

And finally, these are the fashion magazines I have been reading for the past 2 months, Only fashion magazine, ezcluding online research. That stack of mag is as tall as 20"!

So guys, am I a vainpot?
