Last Sunday marked the beginning of the final year of my twenties (cue mid life crisis) instead of dwelling on how old I had become I celebrated the youth inside with a trip to <a href="http://www.oceanpark.com.hk/html/en/home/">Ocean Park</a> Hong Kong's much loved theme park.<br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to receive an Instant Back for my Diana camera from the Boy (extremely happy face) which I took with me to capture some Lomo style moments.<br />
Here is what I managed to snap...<br />

Don't you love the feeling when you go to pick up your photos that have been developed? (rare to do this these days i guess) I had such a feeling when I picked up these. I had the roll in my camera for about 3months...it was almost like it was a never ending roll. I had forgotten what photos I had taken, so it was a pleasant surprise flicking through them. I used my amazing Pentax to take these shots using the Lomo Redscale Film that I spoke about <a href="http://vminhk.blogspot.hk/2012/03/lovin-lomo.html">here</a><br />
Its perfect for the sunny days HK has been having (between the thunderstorms) and it sure makes me love HK a little more.<br />

I'm currently working on two very exciting projects which allow me to be quite hands-on. This week I travelled to the factory in China to check on the progress. Can't wait til they are all complete and ready to share with the world!<br />

Along with the help of Carine Roitfeld, Karl photographed models, celebrities and muses in the infamous Chanel jacket. <br />
Although it was not on the scale as the traveling Chanel quilted bag exhibition it was still an interesting insight to the world of the the little black jacket. <br />

What I found yesterday proved to be the strangest (in the best way) one yet...<br />
<br />
Scotland embroidered onto a blouse!<br />
Why there is grapes in the centre baffles me. What I do love is the name on the label. Couldn't get more Scottish. <br />
<br />
Nice when you find a little piece of home from home. <br />

<br />
Back in 1997 Hong Kong was handed back to China. 15 years later HK still celebrate becoming a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China with a public holiday and an impressive firework display on the harbour. What I wasn't aware of (I have been here for almost 5years) is that on the 1st July every year since the handover there has been protests against it. Today in the muggy weather I took my camera down to the centre of the protests in Causeway Bay and took a few snaps. It was quite a sight to behold, something I wasn't prepared for. There was literally thousands of people slowly marching through the streets between trams to voice their dislike of the HKSAR. One gentleman I spoke to told me that every year over half a million take to the streets to protest against the corruption. I was proud to witness this and support it...I joined the crowds for part of the way...there may have been some barrier jumping to get out. It was hot in there!<br />

As this was a Chinese wedding I knew I was about to indulge in a 13 course meal...I made sure not to wear any tight fitting garments, I learned from my previous school boy errors. The favourite course of the evening for me was the fish, although it looked a little scary it was delicious. Although I was watching a touching video of the bride and groom getting ready at the same time so this perhaps clouded my judgement. Over the course of the evening the bride changed her outfit several
times (I saw her in 4) complete with new hair, make-up and jewellery.
This is not something many a western bride would do.<br />
As I was one of only two 'ghosts' at the wedding I couldn't really understand what was being said (I really must learn Cantonese) but actions speak a thousands words and I was thankful that I was part of their 'Big Day'. <br />

On Sunday I took part in the Discovery Bay Backyard Bazaar. It was the first time I had ever done such an event with my vintage wares and I am happy to report that it was a success!<br />

The sun was shining which brought out the crowds, and steered them into my stall. I am really happy with how it turned out as I wasn't sure how the people of Hong Kong would react to vintage clothing. I had an interesting mix of customers from expat mums and young girls to middle aged local ladies.<br />
A few friends came over to see the stall which was really nice and I am touched by their support. I am also very thankful to PB for getting up so early on a Sunday to help me.<br />

The highlight of the party was definitely the egg and spoon race...I was clearly robbed of a win I tell you! Victoria Peak Gardens were a little eerie that day as there was some low cloud creating a very mystical atmosphere especially when the sun started to go down. We weren't spooked though as we managed to scoff all the cakes, drink punch from tea cups and play games.<br />
All in all the party was a success.<br />
Hooray!<br />

I had to make a trip to ShamShuiPo, the district devoted to trims and fabrics to pick up supplies I needed. What I love most though is not the newest button but the old signage, the crowds bustling around junk stalls and my new favourite the pawn shops. <br />
The locals draw me quizzical looks as they don't quite see why I am so fascinated in something so old and tarnished. <br />
I can't help it, I'm a sucker for history. How about you?<br />

Rain. <br />
Rain. <br />
And more rain with thunderstorms. <br />

Luckily we were blessed with a break in the bleak weather and the sun came out. <br />
Below is a few snap shots I managed to take of my goings on this weekend. <br />

Today was one of those days that made me feel like I was on holiday. It was super nice and warm and all I wanted to do was bask in the sun. Sadly, I had work to do and spent all day dreaming about the fun I could be having. (sigh)<br />
I did however manage to spend a little time outside (whoop) and saw this:<br />

Take on the ol' Time is Money phrase perhaps? I suppose the more time we spend doing stuff that we hate/away from loved ones/etc is more time wasted on things other than love. Or perhaps finding what you love takes time...am I reading too much into this?<br />

Most items will run for 4months unless they sell (yay!), at the end of the run they can be removed or re-listed. <br />
After some recent DIY inspiration I decided to take the latest 'expired' dresses and make them over vic&lily style.<br />
I think they look much more wearable now, don't you think so?<br />
Almost wished I'd done it sooner! <br />
<br />
I will be re-listing these and a few others on the ...vic&lily... Etsy store soon. <br />
<br />
Happy Hump Day!<br />

My love for lomography is always there it is just a little bit stronger today. You see, I finally put my film in to be developed from my trip to the States last month. And when I got them back I was one happy bunny, here is why...<br />
<br />
1. I had never tried the fancy red scale XR film that gives you cool, muted tones.<br />
(ISO 50-200...but I think I set mine lower around 30, even riskier!) <br />
2. My old Pentax was having light metering problems which had me worried.<br />
3. I thought I'd ripped the film and would lose it all..eh hem.<br />

The film gives pretty cool results, don't you think? It also helped that the Arizona desert just happens to have the perfect conditions to shoot said film. Really excited to use it again now...hopefully the sunshine will be out this weekend!<br />
<br />
If you fancy trying it out for yourself you can get it at your local Lomo stockist or online...<a href="http://asia.shop.lomography.com/films/35mm-film/lomography-redscale-xr-50-200-pack-of-3" target="_blank">here</a><br />
