New waxing boutique Strip has been generous enough to offer free Brazilian waxes to five of our lucky readers ready to take the plunge and test out the first Asia-based internationally acclaimed hair-stripping parlour. Did we mention they provide squeeze toys in case you need to hold someone's hand? The pig is purportedly the most popular support friend, but I'm partial to the koala bear.The requirements are simple: just send an email to giveaway@hkfashiongeek.com with the subject "Strip giveaway"...

Every girl's nightmare, every man's dream -- The Brazilian wax. Ever since Edison Chen so indiscreetly allowed his female companions' bushy privates to make the internet rounds, I feel like this has been a hot topic in Hong Kong: what are your personal grooming habits, down there, and what is the norm?At Strip, the Singapore-owned international chain of waxing parlours, the norm is either a small landing strip or a neat little triangle. And they're hoping to get the trend started in Hong Kong with...

Remember the dating site that we discovered a while back? The one that is exclusively for Apple fans? Well I just came across this gem of a dating site from Just Salad. Yes you read it correctly, it’s a match-making site based on your salad preferences. Aptly named SaladMatch.com, the site is targeted at “busy young professionals like yourself, who lives a healthy lifestyle and is looking to get to know like-minded individuals. While most dating sites match couples based on conventional interests...

When I first heard that Shu Uemura is opening an eye gallery, gruesome images immediately filled my mind. Would it be some sort of crazy laboratory where there will be floating eyes in jars of formaldehyde? An underground cellar much like ones in movies where serial killers store their 'souvenirs'? Turns out what is being touted as the world’s first eye gallery is little more than a cosmetic area with a different name. Cue sigh of relief. So what exactly is this eye gallery I hear you ask? It’s...

AHHHHH!Get them at Zapp...

Just arrived in New York after the world's longest flight. Okay, it was 16 hours, but you try spending 16 hours in an airline seat with not one, but TWO babies in the same row on either side. It was like a pissing contest to see who could cry louder; with me, the baby-hater (yes, I hate babies, so sue me) in between. I know I'm a Libra, but the scales were tipping every which way as to which child was more annoying. I know, now I sound like a big baby. Anyway, the pain was worth it to journey to...

Continuing the trend of making big bucks with simple ideas, the Ask the Octopus iPhone app, the Snuggie, we bring you the Antenn-aid. It may have started as a joke idea between two designers from Brooklyn but in less than two weeks it’s become a thriving business. A simple bandaid design that covers the death spot of the iPhone 4, Szymon Weglarski and Jon Dorfman opened up shop on Etsy in July 16 and since then, they’ve made close to 2,000 sales. Initially, the Antenn-aids were sold individually...

If I write this whole post in Rachel Zoe speak, will you stop reading? Well, maybe you'll stop reading anyway simply because this isn't a very interesting blog. I'll pause for you to contradict me now.Anyway, these bags from Su-Shi are BANANAS. I die, I said I DIE for them all -- though if pressed to choose... well, you know girlfriend loves herself some python. You know, these pictures really do make you want to go all Rachel Zoe boho chic, with all the associated fabrics and textures and colours...

I imagine with the advent of the computer, kidnappers no longer bother with the fun of cutting up magazines and newsletters to create a ransom note. (Yes I’m using the word fun coz don’t you think it’d be a great arts and crafts project? This is totally something we should have done when ShoeGeek and I went scrapbooking.) Anyway, for those nostalgic for the classic ransom note yet don’t have the patience to scour through magazines for the right letters, I introduce to you the Digital Ransom Note...

I love seeing designer sketched of products and comparing it to the real thing. What do you think of Lancel’s collaboration with Brigitte Bardot? Available in Sept for HK$7,5...

It was another case of the "closet full of clothes, nothing to wear" syndrome. And when there's nothing on my side of the closet... I keep on rifling right onto the other side, where I came across an extra-large white men's button down that Andrew left at our place (Ahem, he left in another shirt, I ain't that kinda girl). And in another case of me wearing everything that people leave at our house (Chris' denim shorts, Kuan's Shanghai Tang Chinese jacket, Andrew's dad's argyle sweater...) I decided...

It's come that time of year... We get a sponsored post on something wedding-related and I am sent into a frothy white tizzyl while surfing for wedding dresses. Not, mind you, because I'm worried about whether or not I'll ever tie the knot -- us Geeks are too materialistic to be moved by such prosaic concerns -- but because when it comes to wedding dress prospecting, it's daunting to know... There can only be one. That's a lot of pressure. I've reached that age at which I find myself attending weddings...

For some reason, I always thought the Roberto Cavalli brand was a bit younger than 40. But apparently 2010 is the year the brand hits the big 4-0 and they are celebrating with a bunch of special launches, one of which is a fashion book showcasing photography taken by Mert&Marcus. Titled Roberto Cavalli (a rather boring book title if I must say, although it does get the point across,) the book features models and celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Cindy Crawford, Heidi Klum, Gisele Bündchen,...

Oh-so-studly. Get them at Browns Fashion, even though they spelled the shoe name wro...

I'm going to play innocent and pretend that this header is not a play on a bad bad word, and that I am not secretly spewing the correct spelling of this phrase at my useless, useless work associate. In fact, this header relates very well to the topic about which I am going to write, which is the new Twilight cookbook, Love at First Bite. So you see, it's a reference to a) the fact that this is a cookbook, which will lead to to make recipes which you can then devour with a FORK, perhaps even in conjunction...

Show off your Geek cred with this NDS 'character kit' from Amazon. Choose from the ever popular Mario or the older ugly duckling Luigi. (Sidenote, why is it in Super Mario world, the short chubby one is more popular while in the real world we all strive to be skinny and tall? There's a fable waiting to be written here...)US...

It seems like Geeks aren't the only fans of True Blood... the incomparable Snoop Dogg has just immortalized Mizz Sookie Stackhouse in his anthem, Oh Sookie. (Maybe not "just" though, this is like a month old I think.) Besides the fact that this song features the best lyrics EVER (Bill ain't for real / he ain't true blood / Snoop is a G / I smoke true bud), there are also a million other reasons to watch this youtube vid in excruciating detail...For example, the fact that Snoop rocks both a statement necklace (trend alert!) and a multi-finger ring...

With the plastic bag levy having been in effect for a year now, I’ve discovered there has been a significant increase in the number of recycle bags I own. What tends to happen is whenever I need a bag, I don’t have one and I decide to invest in a recycle bag thinking that I will surely bring it out next time. And so the bags pile up in my closet. Therefore it is surely insane of me to contemplate buying more recycle bags right? But check out Australia’s designer reusable bag brand Envirosax. They...

Take a random phenomenon based on a world event. Slap on a cute image and some programming for the image to choose one of two variables. Sell it as an iPhone/iPad app for US$0.99. And it will become the 23 Top Paid app. It’s another case of the snuggie where we kick ourselves for not thinking of doing this fir...
