Okay i’m starting a new category cos i’m always posting up flyers of this party and that sale and that event.
And i think it just apt i name it ‘Slutting It’.

First up is the third annual KLue Blue Chilli Awards!

KLue Blue Chilli Awards

“KLue brings you again our third annual Blue Chilli awards, where we aim to uncover the next wave of young talented individuals who have made strong contributions in their respective industries. Think you know anyone who fits the bill? KLue Blue Chilli 2008 brings you the chance to highlight your own list of nominees; it doesn’t matter if it’s an ingenious filmmaker, an innovative designer or a social activist. We want to find the next Jimmy Choo or even the next Michelle Yeoh!

This isn’t your typical talent contest. Over the past 2 years, we have discovered outstanding Blue Chillies from various fields. In 2006, we had the energetic gig organiser Reza Salleh, the lively activist Mien Lor, and the extraordinary visual artist Sharon Chin. 2007 saw the Blue Chilli winner’s spotlight on Ng Khai Lee, a buzzing social entrepreneur.”

Honestly speaking, i’m really liking the new line Puma has.
Was raving about it to IceCalvin (who’s a stylist remember?) and he said he noticed they’ve got some wicked pieces to use for shoots too.
Nike and Adidas better watch their backs!

Oh, oh! The other day in the office pantry (lemme lari topic for a bit okay), photographer Shermen asked me whether i’ll help them style this year’s nominees with Puma apparel for the shoot. Of course i didn’t mind the opportunity of playing Barbie and Ken with people, and see what it’s like playing stylist for once.

So, think of any of your friends you reckon would stand a good chance running for this?
Thing is, you never know!
And your friend doesn’t have to either if they’re really shy and you can weasel their IC number from them.
You know how it is, some nice people are really into what they’re achieving and feel damn pai seh to join these sort of things. That’s why they have friends like you, to do it for them and go ‘i told you so’ when they end up being one of the finalists.
If you’re damn tak malu and want to raise your own profile, then i guess you could ask your friend to nominate you. *looks at ceiling*

You have till end of April!
