Friends

Of course at bazaars we make some money and a few friends. =) Here's two friends that I'd like to introduce to you, Chocolove Closet and Knotty Bicsie!! Chocolove Closet's run by a spunky girl who sells Men's Clothes, Belts, Ties, Leather Goods at affordable prices. It's a refreshing change from the usual female clothing don't you think? So if you hear your guy friends lamenting that local blogshops only cater to females you can now prove them wrong. Their wide range of shirts are suitable for work and casual dos and very affordable. They're even 2-ply cotton, which spells very good quality shirts. If you don't like shopping online, they'll be at Clarke Quay for a night bazaar on 25th & 26th May between 6pm-12mn. So if your friends get turned away due to sloppy dressing there's on the spot rescue. Hehe. Oh yeah Father's Day will be coming soon, so you can get something from her for your dad too!

The other lady is Knotty Bicsie who knits cute little baby booties, handphone pouches and even shoes for adults. Really cool actually. She also has these cute little fluffies which go on handphones and i'm sure with your creativity it can go on bags, pencil cases, your tops even on your hair. Haha, or is it just me with strange ideas on what things can do. Now she's venturing into paintings combined with her knitting pieces, that is so cool. You should check it out, plus she's a rugby fan so that makes her even cooler to me, coz I seldom find girls who're rugby fans like me. But that's a story for another time. =P She'll be at MAAD come 2nd & 3rd of June from 11am - 7pm. If you haven't already heard, MAAD is held at the Red Dot Museum at Tanjong Pagar, they showcase really cool artists and it's a wonderful platform for local creative talents, be it music, art craft, paintings, t-shirts, accessories and many other creative stuff.

Since I've plugged for them, now it's time for some self advertisement. Haha! I'll be at RJC this Friday for the RProject, which is a charity fashion show case for their own designers and bazaar. All the proceeds that they earn (vendor's rent, fashion show tickets, which are still available and comes with goodie bags! VIP tickets at $10) from this event goes to the Dove Self Esteem Fund which personally I feel it's really good. In Abnormal Psych we learn about eating disorders and their related issues, and it's very painful to see these girls living life like that because of self esteem issues and what the media promotes, or as a means to control their life as the other parts of their life spirals beyond their control. More awareness on seeking help and subsidies for treatment would really help these girls and more of us be aware on how to help our friends. So anyway I'll be at RJC 18th May, 5.30-7pm. If you're there say hi! =)

Let's all have a good week, especially since my good friend is back. Hehe.

Love,
Dawne
