Shoes You Desire is the first event organised by WEVents together with Nose and Marie Claire to overwhelming response. Held at Delicious Cafe, Marc Residence last week 11/5, it was a women only event with a lot of shoes!

There were about 70 guests that evening

It one of those things men just don't understand. How many pairs of shoes does a woman really need? The answer is: Loads! Lol!

Jeanisha Wan, Managing Consultant of WEVents promised a wonderful evening filled with nothing but shoe talk, meeting new people  and of course cake. This reminded me of a more modern version of a 'Tupperware Party'.

We didn't get to choose the cakes, so this was mine

Steamed banana cake with toffee sauce.. :)

Aileen's Cake

Strawberries & cream sandwiched between a light vanilla sponge..

The evening continued with Sue Koh, Nose (M) Sdn Bhd merchandising director introducing the Spring/Summer 2010 Collection. This season's collection is a mix of styles from feminine to chic, gladiator sandals to pumps as well as the ballerina flats you can't live without. It has a very summery feel as summer is just around the corner. Tribal Art designs are also very big this season.

Sweet & Feminine

Putting tribal art into play

The platform style is suppose to be more stable despite the height

Tribal art inspired ballerina flats.. Quite pretty..

I like these! But look at the heels!

Modern

This ones waterproof!

Shoes & bags were passed around for all to try and take pictures of them wearing the shoes. Paige, the model for the evening also modelled some of the shoes. And if the shoes fits you & you liked it, you can buy it there and then, or you just drop in at one of their stores and make full use of the 20% voucher thats in the goodie bag.

Pretty! Not sure if I should get it..

It's soooo high!

L: Kelly's feet! Looks nice on her.

R: My feet! The shoe wasn't in my size.. Lol!

Sue also mentioned the best way to organise shoes is to take pictures of them and stick them on the outside of the box. This way you don't have to open every box and end up running late.

I managed to get my picture in the Star newspaper too! To read the write up by the Star click 'shoes'. Obviously the photographer meant to take a picture of Sue holding up the shoes, not me. *sigh*

I'm not sure why I'm looking at the shoe angrily.. lol!

According to Jeanisha the next WEVevent will be sometime in August. So dont forget to follow them on facebook here to find out the exact date.

This was really fun! Looking forward to the next one from WEVents! Please do bags. Pretty please.. :)

The opening was awesome! It was worth the anticipation.

Lets recap the judges, there's Maple Loo dancer/choreographer, Joe Flizzow and the guest judge for this week is BBoy Born from Korea (who is also here for the R16 South East Asia Finals on Saturday).

Here's what I thought about the crews performances last night. Please note these are my personal views which includes constructive criticisms, with no biasness in any way. I think they're all good and strong either individually or as a crew.

Wakaka Crew

Song: B.O.B. by Outkast

They chose the right crew to open with! It was damn cool! Personally thought it was a tiny bit disjointed in the middle. Reminds me of West Side Story. Lol! But lurved it like nuts, seriously impressive!

HMC Phlow Crew

Song : Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk

Some parts weren't very unsynchronised. different style. tight!

Return Crew

Song : Put Your Hands Up by Ne-Yo 

young! impressive. they have so much room to grow and they can only get better. hope for the future.

Famous Crew

Song : Insomnia by Craig David

Timing was good. But didn't fancy the choice of song. It didn't make any impact. Their bboy skillz were a bit of a no show. A bit disappointing.

Feasible Crew

Song : Ya Mama by Fatboy Slim

The finishing was nice! Not very crisp the movements. A bit boring. Need to work a bit more as a crew.

Backyard Revolution Crew

Song : Do You Remember by J Sean ft Sean Paul & Lil John  

The lil one is so so cute!!! Amar's got really good style. Very smooth.  He's having lots of fun. They need t be better as a team. Still very inexperience.

Giler Battle Crew

They are already amazing beakers who have represented Malaysia in Asia and Europe in International BBoy Competitions. So the challenge for them from Maple and Joe was to see if they could be great Dancers as well.

Song : Everyone Knows by N.E.R.D

Connected with the audience really well. Their personality as a crew as well as individuals shone through. Very entertaining. Their dance routine was commendable but i'm sure they could do better. 

Funky UX Force

Song : Flame Thrower by Chris Brown

Canto pop comes to mind! Lol! No offence. They didn't use the stage really well. Lacked energy as compared to previous rounds.  They're musicality was a bit off.

Blacky Wacky Crew

Song : Shawty Get Lose by Lil' Mama ft Chris Brown & T-Pain

Animated but not very neat. Needs more style. They need better choreography as the routine was rather basic.

Floor Fever

Song : Nuthin' On You by BoB ft Bruno Mars

Good choreography. But they weren't as good as they were at auditions, I was impressed with them then. Last night was entertaining though. Good performance.

Borneo Soul Breakerz

Song : Work by Ciara ft Missy Elliot

For a crew that's performing together for the first time they were tight. Relaxed. Working good as a crew. Good use as space. They should have more power moves next week. Synchronised.

Soul Crazy

Song : Gimme Gimme Gimme by Beenie Man

Girl Power! Fierce. Expecting more from them next week. 

Bottom 4 crews as voted by the audience:

Backyard Revolution Crew, Funky UX Force, Borneo Soul Breakerz, Feasible Crew. They were paired up for the battles.

Dj T-Bone was spinning for the battles. Good Music!

Battle 1
Backyard Revolution & Feasible
Feasible were technically, individually stronger. Backyard Revolution needs to gain more experience. They really gotta work on that cute boy! He's got so much untapped potential. Like his style. Feasible got through. For their "star" quality.

Battle 2
Funky UX Force & Borneo Soul Breakerz
Good battle. Funky UX force was hogging the stage. They got style as a team. Borneo Soul Breakerz should've have been a bit more aggressive. Borneo Soul Breakerz got through!

Judges' Pick to save
Funky UX Force

To Borneo Soul Breakerz - Keep on breaking! You can only get better with experience!

Every week starting next week they are goin to get a THEME. This means that they will have to choreograph their routine according to the 'Theme' chosen. They will be choreographing next week's performance to Wild Card - My Life. The crews will have to tell their life story(ies) in a form of dance.

Next week is gonna be interesting!

This was one of my more greedy days!! I ordered 2 desserts all for me! Mine!

What I had

Sheppard's Pie *New* RM19.90
Beef mince pie topped with mashed potatoes & buttered carrots on the side.

In case you were wondering how it looks like inside ;)

The sautéed carrots still had some crunch. The mince beef and diced vegetables filling, nicely cooked & seasoned. Mashed potato crust could do with a bit more butter. This makes for a simple meal. Quite nice.

Eaton Mess *New* RM11.90

Broken crisp meringue with strawberry, whipped cream and coulis gently folded together.

This is suppose to be "A traditional English dessert". The traditional way of making this dessert is with strawberries either in halves or quarters in the least, folded into it. I have never had it with coulis before, big disappointment. The cream was neither thick nor rich enough for this dessert. The meringue pieces were already partly soggy when it got to me.

It gave me the impression that they were trying to stinge, especially with the strawberries. Turned out to be a huge mess!

Baked Chocolate Pudding RM15.90
Moist chocolate pudding with a burst of coffee in the centre served with vanilla ice cream.

Spoonful of chocolatey yumminess

Can I have some more please? Lol!

The Baked Chocolate Pudding made up for the mess. This was good! The chocolate, coffee, vanilla ice cream and chopped macadamias made for a wonderful combination. The pudding was moist (as described in the menu) and dense (as it should be) with a lovely melted coffee centre. You can tell a generous amount of chocolate was used from its taste. The vanilla ice cream, smooth. Try this!

When Rosix Omar invited me to come by and check out a show he was involved in I didn't realise he would be showcasing his latest collection.

It was a Hairkunst Show with the models dressed in WANPA. WANPA a label by Rosix Omar and Ridzuan Ismail, still fresh in the local fashion scene have only been around for less than a year ( I stand corrected on this).

The Show on Saturday was in conjunction with The Curve's 'A Spring Time Green Party' held between 6-9 May 2010.

When I got there the show opened with Radhi from OAG already singing on stage. The show continued with hair creatively styled in various ways imaginable with outfits to match.

Nora Danish

*This is the same dress Diana Danielle wore to AIM 2010

Now these ones stole the show! Don't they look like real women from far. ;)

Dancing to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance

Dancing to Lady Gaga's Telephone

It was an interesting show especially with the Paperdolls. Talking to Rosix after the show I found out that a famous local celebrity ordered a few dresses from them due to be delivered today. That's quite an achievement for a young label.

(He's gone slightly chubby since I last saw him.. ;p)

Congratulations on a good show and already waiting for your next collection. :) Wonder who will be the subject of the next "stalking session". Hmm.. could it be Real?! KAKA!! Lol!!
