I only found out a couple of days before the event that we were all supposed to wear costumes to the Nuffnang VPOST Christmas Party in Singapore.
What made matters worse for me was the theme — we all had to dress according to one of the letters V, P, O, S or T.
And this Yat had to assign me the letter V!!!
I asked Yat “V? What stands for V? Vagina?” WTF
He said “vampire, violinist, virgin…”
I said “ooo virgin!”
I told KY about it and he went “HAHAHAHAHAHAH” *annoyed
I told Kenny about it and he said “good idea wear white and splash some red paint on you” WTF
I googled Madonna Like A Virgin and found this picture:
This is what I would go as!
I had two days to get my outfit! And those two days were meant to be spent at work.
So guess who my costume angels were!
Hello Hui Jing and Hui Ting!
(Hui Wen I stole this off your blog *guilty)
(And I chose this pic to shift the spotlight to your sisters because cannot see your face WTF)
Hui Jing has a online clothes shop called Velvet Ribbon and when I was wondering where I could find a white wedding-type dress like in a day’s time wtf I immediately thought of Jing because the Hoe sisters have such interesting, one-of-a-kind taste in clothing:)
So I went to her website and lo and behold the first picture I saw was a poofy tulle white dress which would be perfect:)
I emailed her and sent her the picture of Madonna and asked her if she could help me get some long pearls, fishnets, lace gloves and maybe some tulle. Sort of like forcing her to be my personal shopper wtf.
And she and Ting came through with everything! The very next day everything was ready to be picked up and all I had to do was swing by after work to get it!
My skirt of tulle and stockings.
Super long strand of pearls that Hui Ting lent me plus a cross necklace of mine that I wrapped around my wrist.
(Stolen from Jasonmumbles!)
Me looking like a tool wtf but this is to show you the short lace gloves they sourced for me! They were a bit big because my hands are the size of a toddler’s wtf but I safety-pinned them up I guess it adds to the whole Like a Virgin grunge bride look.
I also fashioned a huge piece of tulle into a big bow that went on the back of my head (not visible in picture)
But visible in this one!
A closer look at the dress.
I sewed (okay I mean my mother did wtf) another huge piece of tulle behind my dress as my train.
And this picture is up just because I look quite tall here wtf (explanation: Chee Ching took this picture from a lower level)
Um the Korean pop star rapper next to me is just my er… arm candy wtf.
So my outfit took two afternoons of shopping for Hui Ting…and one night of improvising and sewing for me and Mummy Ooi.
And it was all worth it because I won Best Dressed! I was already very touched by Jing and Ting’s willingness to help me on such short notice to scrounge for clothes and now that the outfit they sourced won, what other reason could there be not to go check out cute, quirky Velvet Ribbon!
(Stolen from Kenny)
Us on stage during the Best Dressed contest and I am pulling up my stockings seriously my life is just full of fail moments wtf.
(Except when I won! wtf. Thanks Nuffnang & VPOST!)
More on the party and Singapore later when I manage to steal everybody’s pictures.
