I still can’t believe the Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana made such an awful comment. And yes, Elton John and all the other celebrities are correct criticizing. Synthetic babies? Really? I realize that since English isn’t their first language, that there might have been some things lost in translation, but still, that’s how they feel. […]
Totally WTF, right? But this was what my grandmother told me to discourage me from dancing. I only know one other person who had a family member tell her that and yes, she, too is first generation Canadian with Chinese immigrant family members. Maybe it’s just misunderstanding, something that was lost in translation, but that’s […]
So Fresh off the Boat has aired for a few weeks and I’ve had a bit of a chance to reflect a bit more. And especially after reading experiences of other Asians on message boards, I feel privileged that my parents really aren’t all that FOBBY (and very different from the show (which is based […]
Just wanted to wish everyone who celebrates a very happy Lunar New Year and prosperous Year of the Goat/Sheep/Ram! Enjoy celebrating with friends and family! What will you be doing and what are your traditions? I usually have a nice vegetarian meal on the first day (I’m not a fan of Chinese jai, so I’ll […]
Richard Linklater’s Boyhood has been sweeping the awards so far this year, receiving many of the major awards. But does it really deserve all that? I’m really not sure. I understand WHY it is getting rave reviews – filming one movie over the course of 12 years, chronicling the life of Mason from the age […]
I couldn’t believe it when I read the piece on Lucky Magazine’s website. This HAS to be a joke. Of course, it could very well be (since it was seen on social media), but if it isn’t, then those women aren’t worthy of wearing Lilly. The stereotypical demographic of Lilly Pulitzer wearers tends to be […]
I am NOT surprised about this. They had a dismal holiday season and as a whole, never bothered to learn our culture. Also, not having e-commerce DID NOT help (though us complaining about prices probably wasn’t that great either. EVERYTHING is more expensive here, not just Target. How come we don’t hear about people complaining […]
As a lifestyle blogger, my topics tend to stray on the light side, talking about food, fashion, travel and the like. In other words, I am not a satirist. Probably the closest thing to “controversy” I ever write about are topics on body image (because I tend not to agree with many activists), feminism and […]
This was announced earlier this week, but I guess that’s what you have to do when you want to be more relevant. I mean, I haven’t bought anything from Coach in probably a year or more. I don’t dislike the brand, and I admit that I’ve wandered into boutiques just to look. It’s just that […]
All the best in 2015! Regular posts will be back next week! Image: solarseven /iStockPhoto
