My Goddess Wedding Diary

Some people have been asking me to put up pictures of the gown selection that my Goddess recently went for. So here it is:

My Goddess and the Horny Devil went for their gowns and suit selection on Sun 7 Nov. They thought they already took along time - 5 hours in total! But actually the average time is 6 hours.

But the two of them were like super zonked out at the end of it all.

Don't know why cannot take picture openly. First, the gowns would have been taken pictures of when wedding couples take photos and post them up. And if competitors really want to copy, they would have sent spies down.

Anyway, here are some secretly taken shots of the gowns she tried on, but didn't select.

Thinking back, this looks abit like a curtain

And this gives a Disney princess feel - one of my Goddess' fave

2-in-1 gown
 
Ballerina short dress
And here's the actual gown my Goddess will be wearing...

Haha, gotcha! It will be a secret to everyone else until the actual day! Then it will add an element of suspense and surprise to all. So be on the lookout here after 22 May!

Two weeks after the gowns were selected, they also bought their wedding shoes.

My Goddess couldn't decide whether to get pink or silver shoes, and almost went to custom-make one silver pair like that in the picture!

  
Turns out the silver one is some expensive US brand 'Christian-dunno-what', maybe Louboutin that costs USD200!!

In the end, she found an almost same pair of pink shoes, if not funkier ones one day! And furthermore, it's like below SGD100, and can be worn out in future.



Tada! K, the pictures are not very clear here cos my Goddess' hp ran out of batt that day and couldn't take pics with flash. Love the Horny Devil's shoes - shiny and pristine. And it costs more than my Goddess shoes ok?

ps: if you can find any silver ones like those in the picture, please let m know?

Happy Birthday Paper Polly (Part 1)

Paper Polly is turning one soon on 18 November! Time flies. It was a year and slightly more back that Aim, my Goddess bestest Thai friend asked her over MSN one day whether Singaporeans shop online and where do they go to shop, so that she can sell clothes from Thailand here.

Then my Goddess thought it was a good idea for them to collaborate. Since Aim has the stocks, and my Goddess the language, the local market understanding and expertise (limited though, in photoshop and programming/blogs :p).

And so their collaboration started. First with really sweet and young dresses, and collections named after fairytale themes.


Then they turned to styles that were modern and stylish, and imported clothes from other countries like HK and Vietnam.


When flower prints, denim and playsuits, jumpsuits were in. These were brought in these designs too for their shoppers' fashion craves.


They also moved on to bring in plain and simple style dresses, blouses and pants that were suitable for work and more formal occasions. Clothes were also sourced from more countries now - Taiwan, Korea, China!


And not to forget, sexy barebacks and chic evening dresses for clubbing and pubbing, or that upcoming friend's dinner.


And there's also more casual maxis and minis, for the beaches and to hit town for the girl-bonding window shopping.


Their cover page has also evolved to feature a more stylish and clean look - inspired by ASOS and Forever 21.



So as you can see, through the one year, my Goddess and her bestie is trying their best to improve Paper Polly's offerings (we hope you feel that we have improved over the year too!), and to bring in a wide range of styles that will suit any occasions and all budgets - as all their items are all below $30!!

Happy Halloween

Can't stand people who dress up sexily for Halloween - it's supposed to be a scary/horror dress-up, not a chance for you to wear skimpily.

Anyway, my Goddess and the Horny Devil went to the Night Safari's Halloween special. This is their first Halloween visit even though it has been around for a long time. The experience was quite fun as the ghosts were really very nicely made up.

To make things more fun, and also to do crazy things before they get married and old, the two of them played dress-up too - my Goddess has a ghost girl and the Horny Devil 如花, the ugly Chinese woman.


He was supposed to dress up as Edward Scissorshand, but in the end he was inspired by a You Tube 'How to dress up like an Ugly Bitch' video.

 

So here's how they look in the end.







My Goddess met some long-lost friends...



And some ghosts weren't that scary after all...


The most exciting part of the event was the 'Gui' Mansion, otherwise known as the Ghost Mansion. It's a new extension to Night Safari - where they built a ghost house from a tent. Amazing~



But too bad they queued like an hour plus for a 5 minute walk. And it would be more exciting if there were tasks for the visitors to do/ story behind the house - so it becomes more like halls' fright night.

The Horny Devil likes this pic the best

The Train of Terror ride was very cooling and quite fun. My Goddess especially love the setup of the failed Chinese wedding.

This is more scary than the ghosts!


Vodoo Boyfriend Doll is all ready for the ride


Too bad their friends were tired after the train ride. If not my Goddess and the Horny Devil would have taken the foot trail to see more ghosts - make their money's worth, hah.

Shagged out


So this was what happened two weeks ago, I know this is a little belated, but here's my Goddess and I wishing you a Happy Halloween 2010. Till we talk about this next year~

Boo!
