The Best Party of the Year..So far- Adidas

Adidas is one of my favorite brands. Back when I lived in Korea, they use to throw the most awesome branding parties with all the right celebs and musicians in attendance. For the 60th anniversary, the company really splashed out! They threw a global party celebrating six decades of sports and sneaker style. Here in Honkers, they rented a massive loft space in Aberdeen called The Factory. The space was painted entirely by renowned comic book artist Mauro Marchesi and it was exactly the edgy kind of venue needed for ...Read more

Bar-hopping in the name of 'research' and PR

The new interface of hiphongkong.com is transforming from a disk of photoshop images into an actual working HTML site. It's so exciting to see an idea, a vision- materialize right before your eyes. Creating the new hiphongkong.com is no mean feat. There have been many a sleepless night- creating, revising, designing new icons, making sure links work, developing new content, writing press and media kits, doing market research, trying to build the facebook group, trying to get bloggers to link to the sit...Read more

Masquerading as a 'model'

People sometimes liken me to Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City and I have to admit, though I am in no way fashioning my life after the TV character, there are similarities. For example- I have a lot of shoes, I’m a writer and I was asked recently to be a ‘real person’ model at a press event for my friend’s clothing line Kanchan Couture.
 
I don’t know if any of you saw that episode where she’s asked to model some skimpy underwear wearing really high platform shoes and she ends up falling on the runway. First of al...Read more

New Blog- 'Single in the City'

I have such a huge demand on my website of people asking me to tell them about social events and parties. I also have alot of people asking me to set them up. I'm actually really good at that. I've set up 5 couples that got married!

Anyway, we were kicking around the idea of having a sort of Sex in the City reality show about Hong Kong, but we decided against it for now. So one of my brilliant personalities has decided to write a blog instead about what being single is like in Hong Kong.

The blog...Read more

It's all so exciting!!!

So many exciting things have been going on lately that I haven't had much time to blog. Everything from hosting American singer/producer John Legend around town- we took him to D-I, Kee, Volar and Racks. His voice melts like butter:

To meeting Bill Clinton at Kee club. I had one minute to talk to him and we talked about poet Maya Angelou who recited such a moving poem at his inau...Read more

Nike Party, Macau and Hanging with the locals in Sheung Wan

Here's some interesting new content that I just uploaded to hiphongkong.com

This is a pictorial I did with my Spanish brothers Natxo and Joseba. Natxo is an actor and Joseba is a model. Both of them are very adventurous and love to explore Hong Kong. One day we toyed with the idea of a 'role reversal' and came up with a photoshoot where we were doing the jobs of the local Hong Kong people in Sheung Wan.

We had so much fun doing this shoot and we were laughing all day long...Read more

King Cobra Soup

I really love Mongkok and I'm always looking for an excuse to head out there. Recently I've made some good friends who are always up for new experiences so we went out to Apliu Street in Sham Shui Po to see what needs to be seen. We bought this groovy vintage radio for 20 HKD!!

Holiday Romance- Does it ever work out?

Sorry about the lag in this blog. I just came back from a whirlwind trip of Europe and it was epic. It was the kind of trip that you take when you only have two months to live and you want to live the rest of your days as fully as possible.

 - After Dubai (see the blog below) I went to London for a week and rubbed elbows with Gerard Butler, Bob Geldof and some of the actors from the James bond flicks (ok well, we were all just in the same private club or re...Read more

Doing Dubai

My nomadic lifestyle had never brought me to the Middle East before, but I had a few friends in Dubai- so I decided to stopover to check it out on the way to Europe for summer holidays. What’s my impression of Dubai? Well, it has the cheesy nouveau-riche glamour of Monte Carlo, the phoniness of Las Vegas and the diverse cultural population of Singapore.

Dubai has a mix of Arabs from around the region, western expats and unskilled laborers from countries like India and the Phillipines. Though many Arab women are covered up from ...Read more
