The Super Bowl is more of an event than a football game. And, this year is no exception.

National Sports February Super Bowl Cover Girl Tamara Witmer.

All stops are being pulled out, as companies rush to capitalize on the event.

From controversial commercials such as last year GoDaddy.com parody commercial on
Janet Jackson famous wardrobe malfunction during the 2004 half time show to sports publications - everyone will be focusing on the Super Bowl.

National Sports editors work on the Super Bowl Issue

According to Editor/Publisher CJ Maroe of National Sports magazine, "when you are a sports publication, the Super Bowl is the biggest event in the world and we wanted our publication to meet the level of that event. And, I think we did it."

National Sports signed up Playboy's Miss August 2005 Tamara Witmer to an exclusive photo shoot for the cover of their February Super Bowl issue.

The February issue of the magazine will have Playboy's Miss August 2005, Tamara Witmer on the cover and will also feature a pictorial spread and interview with Tamara Witmer.

The magazine continues to feature sexy celebrity models on their covers, including Jennifer Nicole Lee, former Miss Bikini America and a top fitness model, on the December cover.

Instant Replay

I just love technology; especially the new video recorders that let you pause live TV or instantly replay a scene from live telecast.

Instantly Pause Live TV or Replay

They are great, especially when viewing a live television show such as the Super Bowl.

Wouldn't it be great if you could instantly replay the famous Janet Jackson famous wardrobe malfunction during the 2004 half time show, or replay a winning play.

I really enjoy this technology, especially since I received it free along with free installation as part of my Dish TV package.

We all love our mobiles. Who in this day and age can live without one? But it wasn't until recently I realised the charm of mobile phone charms.

Here's the story, I have a friend who just got the new Motorola Moto PEBL U6 (which is a gorgeous phone btw.) Her birthday was last month and by coincidence, one of her best friends sent her a Tiffany's mobile phone charm all the way from Shanghai, (such a great friend!) Viola! It was a brilliant match. The first time I saw the phone and charm together I was so excited, see here:

Isn't it sooo gorgeous? Maybe it's the sleekness of the Motorola phone, or maybe it's the brilliance of the Tiffany star, but ever since seeing them together, I've been paying a lot more attention to mobile phone charms around me.

Last year, one of my mum's friend got me a Swarovski charm. It's not for sale anymore, but Swarovski does make superb charms, so check them out. Here's one of my favs, which is for sale in store. Isn't it so pretty? If you look carefully at each of the crystals, they're all slightly different in color and texture. The last one is the Swarovski swan (you have to stare at it quite carefully to notice it!)

Barneys Girl and I decided that we cannot miss out on this week's Carnivale of Couture: The State of Fashion Union, hosted by Almost Girl and Fashion Tribes. The questions are:
What fashion means to you.
Why fashion is important (or not.)

So after a lot and a lot of thinking by us, who constrast to popular belief do have a life out of the fashion blogosphere, both Barneys Girl and I came to a similar conclusions.

So you'll hear my take first. I don't think it is possible for me to just pour my heart here over what fashion means to me because when something means something to someone, it's probably more important than just 'it means this to me.' If you've been reading this blog long enough, then you'll probably already know intuitively how much fashion means to me. On a superficial, simple level, fashion is to me: an interest, beauty, art, reflection of personality and status (the superficial realities of the world,) and of course, blogging three times a week!

On a deeper level, well, that's private and indescribable. While there is definitely a deeper meaning to fashion, of which is different to all of us, I don't like to ponder over these 'deeper meanings' and dissect them so much that they don't even mean anything anymore. And frankly, I've never been one to act overly concerned about issues and causes (things such as PETA or humanity topics.) Even more so, I detest people who pretend they care.

And yes, of course fashion is important. We all know fashion is a huge industry, with other related industries such as print media, advertising, entertainment etc. attached to it. Gosh, so many people are financially supported by it. Also a lot of people are mentally supported by it -I remember during my GCSEs, (that's a UK public exam for 16 yr old students for those who don't know,) I was motivated to study by staring at this cute bag I just bought and my dinner dance dress.

Two summers ago, my dad gave me a very significant fatherly advice: See, if you want to be wearing your Pradas and Guccis when you grow up, then you better work hard and work for a good/ big company. Because apart from the fact you will need loads of money to buy all these clothes, to wear these nice clothes, you must be working in a serious business district (like Central in Hong Kong,) and only these important companies are located there. Of couse, I've figured all this out since young, but it didn't hurt to hear it from my dad.

Ok. So I watch this show. And according to their quiz, I'm "pretty geeky." But deep down anyone with a bit of intelligence is a little geeky-besides, no one ever said that one cannot be fashionably geeky right? I know I am like 3 days late, but its hard to be up to date on tv shows without a tv. Anyway, I just wanted to express my sorrow for the elimination of Thais and Tyson.

Well. . I don't feel too much for Thai (she should've studied more) but Tyson-he was the sweetest geek on the show!!! He was really trying, he studied really hard, he knew his stuff (if only Thais had studied, she would know that the main memory storage in a computer is called a harddrive!), he was funny, he said stuf like "$250 000 is nice, but I think I'm only to leave here with a friend. And I think ultimately that's my big prize" and "there aren't many girls in my life, so if I can do something nice for a girl, then its always a pleasure," and of course, he's awesome with the rubix cube. He can solve it without looking in 3 minutes! So disappointing. Now I don't know who to vouch for!

And they lost to Tristan and Chris, who frankly, is not everyone's favourite couple. Tristan cries all the time, but generally not too annoying. But CHRIS is a complete jerk. He is egotistic, up himself and generally just ugh! There's this other really annoying and cocky girl, Cher, from another group. She and Chris would've made the perfect team.

For those of you who don't know. This show basically pairs up beauties with geeks and see who can change the other the most. Quite hilarious. Here's a funny one:

What would you do to prevent pollution?

eat less gaseous food, so we won't be farting alot-thats a form of air pollution.

Ahh, haute couture, such beautiful, beautiful creations. This season, the creations showed influences from recent trends such as lots of neutral colors, and cuttings from other designers, such as last season's Roland Mouret designs.
Chanel
LOVED it! Usually I think Chanel is lovely and classic but not quite for young people. But this collection was just too pretty! The show was dominated by whites and some blacks. And it oddly didn't feature a lot of the typical Chanel tweed suits.
A Karl-evolutionised Chanel suit completed with the biker pants thing Lagerfeld is so fond of.

If you look through the collection, you would notice that most of the skirts and dresses are above-knee-length, which is very modern of Karl Lagerfeld, but admittingly sort of weird for a brand known for classical beauty. Maybe it's this willingness to push foward that makes Chanel continue to be such a classic darling.

Wow the haute couture shows are upon us again! Looking at the new batch of beautiful creations, I have found more motivation to slave away studying for that funny pointy shape with a line across it like a canoe head known fondly to students as a "A."

Armani Prive

And of course Valentino's evening wear is as elegant and gorgeous as ever. I adore the ballerina styled one, cause it looks so much fun. And the long white one is just the epitome of Valentino.

This red one is just somehow not very flattering.

Christian Dior

I like to think that when it comes to the appreciation of fashion/art, I have an open eye. But however way I look at this collection, I cannot comprehend it. Admittedly the craftmanship put into this collection is nothing short of genius. But frankly, I'm just scared. Please do not let me see any of this in real life-especially in the dark!

We are the scary masked cult out to get you. . .

Another night's work well done. Time to go back to the headquarters to show off my bloody cloak.

BOO!

Argh, jetsetting is not as fun as it looks. I just came back from a short trip to SF (yes I do seem to be going there a lot these days) and it is tiring. Although I DO so love good food, shopping and the mind numbingness of getting away. Anyway, while packing, I realised that somehow in the last few years, my repertoire of cosmetics has increased significantly. So much that it no longer all fit into my average sized narrow cosmetic bags and its getting hard to actually locate anything without pouring it all out first. Obviously this is the sign for me to get a new more spacious and easy to access cosmetics bag.

I first considered Le Sportsac. But the normal cosmetic bags they offer are just too small and doesn't have enough compartments in it for me to get organised with.

Sephora was also promoting this set from Bare Escentuals. It actually looks quite perfect and I def wouldn't mind trying out their products-I hear they're quite good. Except I saw this one real life and its very shallow, so not spacious. . .

I know that one should really be economical and just use the make-up bags that cosmetic brands give out when you buy a huge amount of products. But sometimes, they're just not quite perfect and none quite as cute as these ones from Bloom. The one of the right is actually bigger, but I haven't seen the inside of it to decide if its quite as perfect. But they both look very adorable.
