Just wanted to quickly blog about #Churpout2012 which was today!

It was my first time ever getting involved in a bazaar-like atmosphere where I got to sell clothes and meet readers!!!!

Before this I never dared to sell my clothes because they all look like salted vegetable please.  If I really really like an item of clothing, I’ll wear it over and over again until it grows those small, fuzzy balls and looks gross.  I just googled it and it’s called fabric piling.  So I was always too pai seh to sell fuzzy ball clothes but lately I’ve been needing to buy more and more hangers, and my folded clothes all reached the top of the shelves and it was super annoying pulling things out to wear.

So sell I did today!  Everything was priced astoundingly low, if I may say so myself. ^^  All the stuff I’d worn more than three times went into a bin marked RM10 for 2 so I didn’t feel guilt at selling crappy stuff, and most other stuff (maybe worn once or twice, or never worn at all with price tags) went for RM10-20!

The response was tremendous.  Thank you guys so much for coming!!!  Cheesie and I shared a booth because we also wanted to sell Foruchizu items as well and we were absolutely floored by the response. ^_____^

This was our booth at 10am!  There, the one with the crowd in front of it.  :3 The market started at 10am leh!!!

Our selling started at 9.50 while we were still setting up omg because a lot of people came early to pick the best stuff.  You snooze you lose!  Love you all!

A lot of the pictures below are stolen from Instagrams of people who tagged us.  Thanks!!

Foruchizu!!!

It was quite crazy most of the time!  I think we didn’t get to sit down from 10am until about 2 or 3pm cos we were too busy!  I snuck two seconds to take a picture of customers browsing. 😀

ChurpChurp (Churpout organizer duh) thoughtfully provided cutouts of us for our booth!  They also provided us with racks, thanks Churpies!

Here we both wearing the same green headband cos we realized we started selling more of them faster when we were displaying it on ourselves hahaha.

With Vivy of Fashionvalet!

Wah eyebags jialat cos only had 5 hours of sleep.  I need at least 8 to look presentable >.> High standards wtf.

This stupid Huiwen so forever alone she needs to take pictures with our cutouts hahahaha.

MY ONLY MALE READER!!!!!  Had to take this photo to commemorate this moment wtf.

Hahahahaha seriously I really wonder about my reader gender ratio.  The entire day, only three guys came up to say they read my/Cheesie’s blogs.

With Kinkybluefairy whose booth was behind ours.

Sara of Fashionvalet omg she is gorgeous look at her nose T______T  I kept thinking she looked familiar like I’ve met her before or seen her somewhere.  Then Cheesie looked up and said the exact same thing.  She said she does advertisements but I don’t think that’s where I’ve seen her.  I feel like she looks like some celebrity which is why she seems familiar!  Any idea ah?

With ChuckeiJane!  At the end only had time to go to her booth.  She’s so tall that she complained she cannot buy clothes from China cos they’re all too short for her #tallbitchproblems lolol.

One of our readers!  I stole this off her Instagram but now I can’t find her tweet anymore :X Sorry and thanks for the pic!

Thanks Huiwen for offering to clear our table for us!  And to Elise (no picture of you, you suck) for helping us fix our falling clothes rack, for buying me water, cold medicine and for bringing me napkins to blow my nose.  (yes I was sick fml)

Thanks to Shah who also bought us water!

Thanks to the Churpies who worked so hard to pull off this awesome event!  I didn’t get to go around because we were too busy but the crowd was huge and from what I heard there were tons of events, performances and fun going on.   Everyone enjoyed themselves right!?

Thanks Fatty for buying me and Cheesie lunch.

Thanks KY for buying me and Cheesie char koay teow wtf.

Thanks Oois for coming to show support and Mumsy Ooi and Sherlyn who bought stuff wtf.

Thanks Fatty’s mom for sending us barley to drink.

And of course thank you to all of you who showed up to show support and buy stuff or even just say hi!!!!!!!!!

We had an amazingly fun day (despite my cold) and it was a great experience in selling and meeting people!

So now is the best time to announce this….

Checked out Malaysia Vivi October issue yet? 

This was the reason why I was in Tokyo for two days last month. 

Okla enough of that stupid face hahahahah.

We are soooooo damn lucky because we haven’t properly launched Foruchizu yet, but Isetan approached us to work on a special Isetan X Foruchizu clothes collection this coming December!

Basically Foruchizu will have a popup store from 30 November onwards for the whole month of December at Isetan KLCC!  Just in time for Christmas and the festive season!  The collaboration will feature items (including tops, skirts, dresses, outerwear, etc.) which have been personally selected or design dictated by me and Cheesie based on our own tastes 😀

The style is… basically whatever we wear normally.  Cheesie is her usual fantastic fashion blogger style, while I tend to be a bit more casual and boyish.. I think.  Fusing both our styles, we’ve come up with a collection that’s hopefully a little more mature and sophisticated, suitable for young women in their 20s, while still being cute. ^^

Super super exciting!

That’s why we were in Tokyo – to source for stock and to get inspiration for the Fall/Winter season. ^^

There will also be lots of events related to Isetan X Foruchizu happening in the entire month of December… so please block your calendar and make sure you’re in KL then! Hahahaha.

When things are more confirmed I will update with more details and let you guys know what’s happening so you can join in! 😀  Until then, よろしくお願いします。
