Who is the judge?

" 你所知道的不要全說,你所看到的不要全信。"
 from ningtian15 and 櫻桃小丸子驚點語錄

依稀記得在大學的時候,其中一堂心理學的教授講過,我們平均只需要看一個人的照片看少於一秒就能夠對那個人作簡單的批判。我們在街上品憑一個路人的穿著, 食相,一個動作,一聲笑聲,一個眼神...依靠那一點點的觀察就斷定那個人的品味,性格,身家,婚姻狀況,感情生活... 就那一點點,能批判的實在很多。

曾經看過一段YouTube video影的是一位肥肥的中學生拿著一支golf棒好enjoy地自己亂揮扮star war 裡的Jedi。由於男生的揮棒姿勢非常搞笑, 在網路上流傳得很快, YouTube 點擊率到目前有25,348,305次。

經典






















經典是你跳我跳的愛情片。
經典是哥哥聲微沙得不羈的那首「追」。
經典是EASON與賈寶玉唱歌唱到舌踏舌。
經典是沒有手機的年代, 茶樓"do me so la"廣播著:「陳生請到櫃面接聽電話。」
經典是小學時代,你腦裡記得至少一打同學的屋企電話號碼.。
經典是情竇初開時,聽過的「永遠」,當然你今天明白,永遠有幾遠。
經典是DA VINCI 筆下的MONA LISA,那一笑,Dan Brown醉了。
經典是碧咸98年的紅牌後尾勾,勾盡全國上下的恨,也勾起了個別球迷對他14年崇拜 。
經典是總有幾首歌在夜裡你是聽不得的。
經典是總有幾首歌,隔了幾多年還是能一字不漏地唱出,例如那些年十個有九個學生妹都曉背的日文FIRST LOVE。 
經典是Van Gogh的夜空裡,象徵死亡的樹,如此有生命力。 
經典是你成為入市奇芭,買完就跌,放完必升。
經典是那些年放學與到K房全點Twins的歌,你與同學有系統地,當自己是阿Sa阿嬌。
經典是45度角, 從前是MJ的經典動作, 如今卻是Santino的經典絕技。
經典是Doritos 原味,原來無味。
經典是連小老板紫菜又甜又咸的人造味,也叫做經典味。小老板!


不知甚麼時候開始, 經典一詞已被濫用。
以上是屬於一名不中不英,忽中忽英的80後經典中經典。

世界真細小



Somewhere in Hong Kong - The Sartorialist


Everything is perfect about this street photograph.
The colour.
The composition.
The subject.
The background and surroundings.
The stylish ladies.
The shoes.
The umbrella.
The lemon tea.
The plastic stools.
The 茶餐廳.
星街. Star Street.
Everything just works so well together in this photo.

"A honey shower gel with serious sex appeal"

For my first informative blog entry, I've decided speedily, to write about one of my favourite brands - LUSH!
 
The title comes from the label of one of their products,  Flying Fox shower gel and somehow weirdly, it cracks me up a little every time I read it. A shower gel with sex appeal! How appealing and how cool is that!

I love LUSH because, first and of course is that most of their products smell ridiculously good and delicious, second, is that their products are made by natural and fresh ingredients (although I'm still not sure if that's matter, I assume that it should be healthier for skin than those made by tons chemicals since fresh food is always healthier than luncheon meat or artificial strawberry milkshake), third, they promote fair trade and consider our environment. I told the above reasons to my mum the other day, she looked at me like I'm an idiot and said "You never know if they are telling the truth." That's true, I may not know, but I like companies who at least TRY to protect the environment and made products out of  ingredients such as fresh mandarin!

Let me give you a little review on all of the products I've tried. OH! Actually I will rank them from least liking to most liking!

Dare to be bright. red.

Bi's post on lipstick got me all inspired and so I decided to write about a little bit on the red lips trend. Red lipstick is so classic, this colour never goes out of date. It has already made a comeback for a few years now and it is set on to stay for many more seasons (despite Pantone announcing Tangerine as the colour of 2012). Wearing red is not just about fancy dressing for a party, it can also brighten up a casual day's outfit.

I say, the more casual you wear the better this red lips trend will carry through without being too Mad Men. Try a loose neutral t-shirt with skinny jeans. The tricky thing, though, is finding a suitable red lipstick that goes with one's skin tone. So here is a quick and simple guide to choosing the right red lipstick colour for you.

Think back to all the things that you've learned about colours during art class in primary school.

花千樹



找到一枝屬於自己的唇膏, 就如在森林尋寶
奇樹滿林,卻花多眼亂


女人天生就注定要跟LIPSTICK, LIP GLOSS, 結着不解之缘。
一屋鞋之外,就是一屋唇膏唇彩,not to mention lip balm。
買了一支對的lipstick,用過兩三次你又會想一試另一支的味道。

你無意經過"老連" 化妝部,
Armani 新出的lip gloss很潤很自然,
令你真正中伏的,
是在依稀的印象中,
那未經證實的致癌唇膏名單,
貌似Armani 榜上無名。

某日,等人吃飯,你為了避雨,
又再徘徊於"老連"化妝部,
來到了親愛的Y記 。
你幾乎肯定,這金光閃閃的外殼,
精緻的Y氏 Logo,
在致癌check list 上,
不是第一就第二。
「致癌梗係靚色」你在想。
面對著Y 氏浮誇的紅色魔法,
你萌起「只要不天天塗上咀就
"大丈夫"」的想法,
今次又再中伏了。

兜兜轉轉,
太多的一見鍾情,
部分的「7次之癢」,
當中,有不少有令人敏感痕癢。

不過,總有世水長流的。

Best of both worlds

Lots of you may call this time Spring but I beg you not to forget those in the Southern Hemisphere, for they have just enjoyed their summer days and are now transiting into the fall season.

What I love about April is the versatility one can have for their style, gaining the best of both worlds of summer and winter. For most of us, we get the luxury to dress for summer but only need to layer a cardigan or jacket for the chilly nights. One no longer needs to sacrifice their fashion sense while trying to stay warm at the same time.

This photograph taken by Scott Schuman definitely captures one of those 'cool' winter outfits that does not compensate with the weather.

Bi幫我和Kay寫了第一個blog entry好開心我們三妹乜的blog出生了!

其實個blog的生好快, 我們在whatsapp 講講下脊醫, 講講下我們的尾龍骨都是S形, 講講下就講到不如一起開blog, 我們三個各有各不同, Bi是標其立異型, Kay是賢良淑德型, 我是胡思亂想型,最相似莫過於只有條S形尾龍骨。  

S spine cut out tee ;) B and Kay we should all wear this together!



我們三個沒有什麼plan, 一心只想寫寫blog,  但大家都知自己沒有什麼恒心, 期望在三個人互相勉勵下大家, 我們的baby會有機會長命百歲。希望讀者能在 April Lounge找到一些歡樂, 一些正能量

"這是個馬戲團一樣的世界,一切都是裝假的,不過如果你相信, 一切都可以變成真的。"






1Q84是這樣寫的。It's only a Paper Moon 是這樣唱的。


世界就像個大型馬戲劇團。裡面有著各式其式的人與物。
在這個大型劇團裡面,你的角色秒秒在變,而你永遠預計不了,下一秒你或者需要跳火圈。
跳完火圈,你可能要與獅子困獸鬥,沿路很多人批判著你。


正能量就是在大型馬戲劇團求生的錦囊。
敗軍不敗陣,敗陣不敗勢,敗勢不敗氣。
聲音要聽,不過請distinguish 出那是聲音抑或冷水。
後者嗎,謝謝你為我敷個保濕面膜。
明天誰也沒有試過,誰曉得結果是甚麼樣子呢?
憑著你的態度,盲衝直撞地去衝,看看人生劇本這次給你甚麼戲碼。


趕得在世界末日奏起輓歌前的April成立,April Lounge出世。
這是屬於金牛座的四月,於是提醒著這裡的人,要有金牛般的性格,守護你相信的。
這裡是one of 正能量的source(至少有個平台讓自己嘻笑怒罵),由三名思想各異,宗教各異,品味各異,標奇立異的女人們營運,一向火花無限,日後如是。
時裝美容,保身健體,吃喝玩樂,路見不平。忽中忽英,想講就講。


今天起,The April Lounge,只談風月。歡迎收睇。
