I attended two of my favorite artistes’ concerts lately – Lady Gaga and No Doubt (mostly because of Gwen Stefani <3), and boy was it helluva lot of fun! So what makes them so appealing to me? Other than their music, their attitude and their talent, they have one important thing in common: their completely unique, often genius, and sometimes whacked out fashion sense – I LOVE IT.

(While writing this, I thought: damn it, GWEN STEFANI is my idol, it’ll be TRAVESTY if I don’t devote an entire entry to her. So in part 1, I’m just gonna start off with Lady Gaga first!)

So, anyway, while watching Lady Gaga, I had a sudden revelation: her outfits all really make sense now! She must have known that one day, her talents and fame would take her to distant shores where the average temperature hovers around 30 degC and the level of humidity is turned all the way up to the line marked ‘Insane’:

So you may have heard of this little thing called MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia. You may also know, vaguely, that it was held somewhere in Malaysia. A place called KL. With a few little bands called The All-American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, Kasabian…and with just a teeny, tiny audience of 15,000 people. Yeah? That sound familiar to you? Good. ‘Cos in my current sleep deprived state from this awesome experience, I’m gonna cut to the chase and tell you about my top 5 favouritest moments (in no particular order) from this crazy, crazy day.

1. Meeting the funny (funny haha, not strange) Boys Like Girls

My first LOL-moment in KL. These guys are so laid back, so effusive, so friendly that you almost feel you’ve been buddies for a long time, hanging out way back home in Boston like old pals. Though the whole thing was a quick hi-bye-how-you-doin’ affair, lead singer Martin cracked us all up shouting ANTM-like instructions during the photo op, commanding us to unleash the animal within us: “GRR! C’mon! TIGER! TIGER! Another one!”. Which resulted in a photo where we looked damn happy (laughing uncontrollably) and me, slightly unhinged:

…okay, I chickened out – the photo I’m showing y’all is the one where we all look really normal, and I daresay, perfectly pleasant:

Rochelle and John Keefe (on right) are gazing into the distance, happily imagining their future together already. Lucky girl.

Hello! I shake you warmly by the hand. It’s awesome meeting you guys. I’m delirious with ecstasy at this opportunity – who would have thought writing an article about camel toes would land me this awesome job? (Thank you Marketing Tutor! The pain you inflicted upon our delicate sensibilities was worth it after all. Life is strange sometimes. I love it.)

And now, dear reader, for the next six months I promise to entertain you with more stories on fashion faux pas(es), help to plump up your wardrobe with the season’s latest offerings, bring you to happening events and possibly CHANGE YOUR LIFE. At least 3 out of these 4 things are statistically proven to be completely achievable. I am completely dedicated to my job of telling you things you want to know and then some. I will even throw in things you may not need to know FOR FREE.

An example of something you absolutely need to know:
