Olympics Fever

// August 4th, 2008 // 20 Comments » // Fashion, Quotables

Countdown to Beijing Olympics 2008: 4 days.

My family’s favourite pasttime is gathering in front of the television to spend “quality time” with each other. So when the Olympics roll around every four years, it’s a huge deal for my folks in the entertainment department. For anyone who hasn’t seen the dress rehearsal fireworks pictures from Beijing’s Bird’s Nest, I recommend you to check it out right away. It totally DWARVES what went down in Vancouver last weekend (HSBC Celebration of Lights).

In the last issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Lucy Liu made several appearances in Spring Couture 2008 clothes posing for Olympics events (photo credits). It totally adds that extra pizazz and glamour the Games need! Observe.

So patriotic eh?

And this is my parting thought for this fashion-filled entry:

Karl Legerfield Ad

The popular creative director of Chanel and Fendi, Karl Legerfield, has been asked by road safety chiefs in France to front their latest campaign, encouraging drivers to wear light-reflecting clothing when traveling at night. The translation, “It’s yellow. It’s ugly. It doesn’t go with anything, but it could save your life.

P.S. - finally updated the Links in the sidebar with Sarai, Shen-Shen, Alex, Rilla and a few other blogs that I read.

Blogging Money and Traffic

In Part 1 of Blogging Money & Traffic, I gave a detailed review of some of the popular paid blogging websites out there, including PPP, Smorty, ReviewMe, Sponsered Review and many others. This time, I’ll be delving into the two other big components of the e-market: advertising and traffic. Being more of a personal blog, Ubiquitous only tried out a fraction of the available websites, so feel free to suggest others.
