The Next Food Network Star : Ground Glass, Anyone

post from ShoppingBlog.com on 30 June 2008 10:00:00 PM. © ShoppingBlog.com

If you missed last night's episode of The Next Food Network Star, here's a great recap video. We were so thrilled that Jen got booted. Sorry, but it's true! Bob Tuschman was totally enamored with her, but we didn't get it. She was a disaster in the kitchen and couldn't even distinguish udon noodles from linguini. Then, during the main challenge, she bangs a giant jar of juice on the counter (for reasons unknown, perhaps to loosen the lid??) and breaks glass all over the grilling food, including the duck confit that was crucial to her and Lisa's dish. All the food had to be thrown away, since no one wants to eat ground glass.

If we had been in the kitchen, we would have pulled a Chef Ramsay on Jen, yelling "RAW!!! IT'S RAW!!!! $%%#@@!!!" Ok, there was no raw food and this is a different show and a different network, but we just love it when he does that. And speaking of things we love, how great is Cat Cora? More Cat Cora!

What: The Something Store. The concept is simple: Pay 10 bucks and you'll receive an item in the mail. Whether it's a gadget, a necklace, knives, jeans, it's a mystery until you open the box. Shipping is free, making it all the more tempting to surprise yourself.

What We Say: Novelty is the....

Golden goth

post from Walking in Midgie's Boots on 30 June 2008 08:52:00 PM. © Walking in Midgie's Boots

Gothic fashion can use trends that are popular today. Concurrent with my last post, I looked up some gold-related gothic fashion :) As you can see, I couldn't find much. I think it's because gold is used sparingly in gothic outfits. The corset is my favourite!

Gothik mode kan avänder innevarande tendens. Jag fann något bilder av guld-gothik mode :) Jag fann få bilder för gothik mode avände sparsamt guld. Korsetten är min favorit!

A Trip to Stockholm

post from I am Fashion on 30 June 2008 08:30:00 PM. © I am Fashion

Last week, I spent a few days with a friend sightseeing in Stockholm, Sweden. I have to admit I wasn't expecting much because I don't hear a lot of stories about travelling in Northern Europe from my friends. But Stockholm turned out to be seriously gorgeous and so comfortable.
The weather was absolutely perfect -it was cool, breezy and sunny. The weather definitely made the whole experience more comfortable and relaxing. Not to mention it made the sky and sea look especially blue for photos!
We first went to the Nobel Museum. Admittingly the exhibition was very short and there wasn't much to see. But there is a video room that plays short videos of past Nobel prize winners (mainly old interview footages.) You can sit there for hours and just watch -the videos are mostly pretty interesting. Coincidentally, we got the timing just right -we went there after 5pm on Tuesday so it was free entrance!
The next day we went to the Vasa Museum. It's basically a display of the old, sunk ship with many supporting displays of the old sailor days. It was definitely interesting to see such an old, authentic ship up close. After seeing the exhibition, we were very grateful we weren't sailors (despite our love for the nautical trend)! Afterwards we went to the Nordic Museum, which was frankly boring and not worth the visit.
Afterwards, we went to the Moderna Museet (Museum of Modern Art). The art there was actually fun and interesting to look at as it was modern and made up of artwork of a variety of medium, such as photography, sculptures and paintings. It's a nice change from looking at old paintings.
On the third day, we ventured out to see the Millesgarden, which is used to be the house of an architect. It's basically an exhibition of an amazing garden, his house and collected art pieces. I loved his garden! The fountain at the centre was absolutely gorgeous -especially with the amazing view behind it. It was so nice and relaxing to just sit there and feel the breeze!
Afterwards we went shopping, or at least we tried to. It turns out that the clothes in Stockholm were expensive, even more so than in London. We checked out NK, one of Stockholm's big department stores and were not impressed by the range of clothes or by how messy the sale was. So we ended up chilling at a park nearby, where a band was performing.
On the last day, we went to the Royal Palace, which is one of those must-see sightseeing spots. It was not a very grand palace (compared to the French or some other European ones) but it was still fun to walk in and around it.
Overall, I think it was just the weather and whole chilled out atmosphere of Stockholm that made it such a fabulous holiday! Seriously, look at the view!

Black Cement Air Jordan 3

Last year, several rumors spread through the web that the Black Cement Air Jordan 3 will release along with the other Jordan 3 releases. Yet as 2007 passed, the Black Cements were nowhere to be found and people became greatly disappointed.

However, as Jordan Brand announced the release of the Jordan Countdown Packages, the hopes of sneaker fans around the world that these holy grails will release have rekindled. Hailed as the best colorway of one of the best Jordan models, these classic Jordans will release as part of the Air Jordan 20/3 Countdown Package.

Although these retroes will feature a grey Jumpman logo instead of the ?Nike Air? on the heel, the shoes seem to be of high quality. To the delight of Jordan-heads, nothing else about the shoes seems to have been altered from the last retro. The hype surrounding the October release will surely be phenomenal despite the $310 price tag.
