IE6: HEY YOU GUYS! How come you never let me play?
Safari: Go home, IE6!
Opera: Yeah, you always break our coolest toys!
Firefox: I can’t believe you’re related to that guy, IE7.
IE7: Don’t remind me.

After my Fashionary post, I received a comment from Alan about UI Stencils. These are quite handy if you are into UI design for the web, iPhone and even the iPad.
I will admit that the Browser Sketch Pad caught my eye first. After that I noticed the column widths on the Stainless Steel Website Stencil Kit. Quite handy, but now I want these guys in Seattle to create more.







Growing up I wanted to be a fashion designer. Even today I am still very fascinated by it – from the tiny, little details to the glam finale when baby girl hits the runway.
My biggest concern was that I would not be able to draw all day long and be able to draw the women who usually featured on the sewing pattern packaging from the 80s and early 90s. Mamas had a box in the closet with all the fabric and it was time well spent going through all the different patterns and styles in the box.
Believe it or not, there are fashion designers who cannot draw (or sew). Not to worry, Penter Yip created Fashionary, a notebook with barely visible templates on each page allowing you to sketch – trouble free.






At first you might wonder, what in the world you can do with these? Wait til you take a closer look at the beautifully crafted luggage by Sarah Williams.



Having presented his portraits of women in Brazil, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Cambodia, India, Belgium, Britain and other countries, JR is showing the whole of his “Women” exhibition for the first time. The exhibition has been conceived as a journey through Paris in the open air. Visitors can see it on foot, on bicycle or by riverboat.
The name to remember. I am in love with another ferosh, gay boi – Christian Siriano. He is the the youngest winner of the fourth season of Project Runway. Before the show, he worked as a freelance make-up artist and made wedding gowns for private clients. Then the show happened and BAM! – beauty.

The fabric used for these dresses are digital prints of the ocean. See? This boi is creative and thinking out of the box is his thing.






Christian designs his own shoes too and some of his ferosh shoes are even available at Payless.


And then of course, there is bridal.

All the photos are from his New York Fashion Week 2010 Spring Collection. Now make me pretty.

Never been a fan of puzzles, but the multi-purpose Puzzleboard caught my eye.
You can either use it as a cutting board or serving plate. If you put a few boards together, you have a larger workspace. Even a wineglass can be fitted into the blank spot of the puzzle piece.
Two thumbs up for OOOMS. You might want to “explore” the rest of their website, because they have quite a few “interesting” (to say the least) “products“.
