I don’t believe in disclaimers, and this is not one: I don’t know how to dress well. At least, I’m unaware of established fashion protocol. I have no knowledge of societal style sensibilities beyond the basics of color coordination, patterns on other patterns, and not leaving your house naked.<\/p>\n

I do however, have an eye for design, as in communicative design, the umbrella term for graphic design (I’m not fond of the word, as it takes away the artistic nature of the field and presents itself as solely commercial). I find myself using milk cartons, cereal boxes, film title overcasts, and cd designs as inspiration for what I wear, consciously or otherwise. I believe that is what brought me over to Pulp, as their physical presentation go hand-in-hand with their music.<\/center>

S T Y L E showcase. is my excuse for fawning over ridiculous people and their ridiculous clothes.<\/center><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Fan Bingbing (\u8303\u51b0\u51b0) is a mainland Chinese actress and singer. She has a lengthy career in film and television, and does roles both in Taiwan and the mainland. I am not familiar with her films, but I do enjoy her style.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Bingbing reminds me of a sophisticated, restricted type of femme style, somewhat in the style of Maggie Cheung, Jacqueline Onassis, and Elizabeth Taylor. She can dress in an almost alien-sense, be otherworldly, but still be down-to-earth and not cartoonish. Behold:<\/div>\n

Her style is something I’d like to emulate: bold, bright colors, in your face, but subtle, make-up, poised posture, and killer looks. It’s my favorite variety of femme: “look, but don’t touch, for I shall touch you first. I’m not an egg-shell, I’m a honed blade<\/i>.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
More of my favorite Bingbing looks!<\/div>\n
