Just wanted to share this updated photo of the newly released Mahina. I made a mistake from my previous post in calling it La Malleable from the Mahina Line. Apparently Mahina (a Polynesian Lunar deity) IS the name of the bag and not the line. The design was inspired by the crescents and phases of the moon and if it were not for the upcoming Mirage, I would have seriously considered this. Interestingly enough, the word "mahina" in Tagalog could mean "soft like a whisper". Now if you can imagine touching a whisper, it definitely has that element due to the supple calf leather. LVoe it!!! Visit eluxury to view it. ($3750) Photo credit: eluxury

I just wanted to share with y'all this photo from Mattd7474 (for actual posting click here). It's a lil' brainstorming tableau of the Tribute bag and reminds me of a birthday card that I made when I was around 10 years old. It amazes me how this idea came into fruition and has become LV's most expensive bag yet. To purchase Marc Jabos and Louis Vuitton DVD documentary click here. Now to purchase the bag, you have to visit your local LV boutique. GoodLVck!

Admittedly I only got my last camera, the ixus i zoom not that long ago. But recently, I've been feeling the need for a change. I am tired of the limits of my camera. The quality of the pictures are never good enough and it never captures the moment. They boosted up the pixels, but the minimal functions of the camera does not complement the upgrade. And so, I've been back on the market for a new camera lately. After a market-wide scan on the Panasonic Lumix, Casio Exilm etc., I've finally narrowed it down to two brands: Canon and Sony.

Canon because after much asking around and photo comparison with my friends many different cameras, we concluded that ultimately the quality of Canon pictures were the best, both in and outdoors. From there I narrowed it down to the two newest models: Ixus 860 and Ixus 960. The Ixus 860 is really not bad, with 8 megapixels, 3.8x wide angle optical zoom, a huge 3" screen, wide angle option and all the standard antishock things. It even has a battery usage bar now, that tells you the battery status ahead unlike the previous models, which only tells you when you're running out. The only thing is, holding it in my hands, it feel huge, especially compared to the ones out there (and my previous camera, which is smaller than my phone).

Plus, besides the wide angle, the rest doesn't seem to compare with the Ixus 960, with 12 megapixels (I KNOW the more megapixels doesn't mean its better, but still...), 3.7x optical zoom, 2.5" screen, touch control D tech (whatever that means) and a titanium cover. Unfortunately, even though it has been announced, no one has seen it in reality yet and cannot testify to the size. If this one was slimmer and smaller than the Ixus 860 (like the Ixus 95, which I really really hope it is-though I've heard rumors to the contrary) then this will be my winner. I'm hoping it would come out before I leave for the States. If not however, we've got a problem...

...and I might have to switch to the Sony Cyber Shot T-200, also new this month and is not available in stores yet. Because function, design and size-wise, the Sony T-200 is clearly superior to the Canons. Not only does it look this pretty and is tiny, but it also has a 8.1 mega pixels, 5x optical zoom, a HUGE 3.5" touch screen and all the usual double anti shock things. PLUS, it has this cool new smile shutter feature, which detects everyone in the picture smiling and automatically takes the picture without clicking. Not exactly a very essential or practical function, but how cool is that? The only downside is that Sony cameras have a special Sony memory card to go with it, so I can't stick it into my laptop slot directly. The colors are also unnaturally richer/redder, though the salesperson claims that it was the "true" color. Indoor/dark photos also occasionally show up not sharp enough, though the outdoor photos are gorgeous! There is also the concern for the touch screen technology- if it falters then I am in big trouble...a digital camera IS a long term investment after all (it needs to last at LEAST 2 years). In addition, because it is touch screen and its huge, it probably consumes battery a lot faster. Oh and lastly the Sony is more expensive than the Canons (naturally).

Wow I've written a whole essay about this topic (if only they were so easy to write!). I am probably leaving a lot of important points out, but I'm obviously no expert on digital cameras. I'm going back later in a few weeks to check out the T200 and Ixus 960 in real (hopefully they will be there), and I am determined to finally get one. Which one would you go for?

I know most of our readers really look forward to planning and dressing up for Halloween.

In fact, quite a few of you live the Halloween spirit all year long.

She not only embellishes the spirit of Halloween but also has been adding to her coffins with increased tips.

Just no telling what a serving wench costume and some great cleavage can do for your career.

Becky routinely dances in her pirate costume, as she climbs and dangles from the pole.

This outfit is so realistic that it could be used on a movie set.

The lace and organza have been frayed and tattered through a special process.

This is truly a breath taking costume, whether worn on Halloween or as an award-winning photo in your modeling portfolio.

I am sooo, sooo jealous of Arjay because it's Vuitton's Trunk Show at Saks Dadeland today! I hope you examine every stitch, seam and patented leather of this much awaited collection especially the Speedy Mirage. I can't believe you didn't take time off from your busy work schedule to spend hours trying on these LVoely pieces. To think that I would have given an arm and a leg to be there with you. I expect a three-page report by noon tomorrow!

An old photo of my favorite heiress wearing a Theda! Just LVoely!
