I cannot post today more than this because I am deeply engrossed in the wretchedly compelling words of one Mr Joe McGinnis, author of Never Enough, the richly seedy true crime novel that exposes all the sordid details of the Nancy Kissel murder. Hongkongers here in 2003 will remember the case well; our very own OJ-level murder mystery. And while I constantly berate myself for subjecting my brain to such horribly sensational truth-stretching drivel, it's made owning a Kindle well worth the price. I need to have this book at all times until it is completely devoured. If, like me, you were more riveted by this case than you are by your own love life, you need to get it. Read it with a quickness, it's the only way to escape the pain of McGinnis' annoying, Anglo-centric, one-dimensional and repetitive voice. This is the guy who until recently was stalking Sarah Palin. And he thought the Kissels were creepy.

Get it at Amazon. Thanks to the lovely Katie for the recommendation. I love you and hate you at the same time for it. Fancy a milkshake?

There's something about this Miu Miu Leopard-Print Shearling Clutch that makes me think it'd fit right in with the Flintstones.

Who would have thought that ShoeGeek and I would be able to put up 1000 posts on this blog? There are definitely days when the two of us wonder why on earth we write Hong Kong Fashion Geek. It could not have been done without you, our loyal readers. Thank you for giving us the encouragement to keep writing.

Ish finally cold enough to boot up. And I am off to sunny Singapore! It's midnight and I haven't finished packing yet so that's all for now, but the burnt orange toe on this reminds me of cliched sunsets and walks on the beach. A perfect amalgamation of warm summer-to-fall nights, and winter practicality.

It's surprisingly hard to find decent Italian food in Hong Kong so this week we ask you for recommendations. Image from Cecconi's in Soho which also has a great lunch set deal and decent pizza. It's about $138 for a two course lunch I believe.

This week's Twitter tips question: What's your favourite resto for Italian in HK and tell us your must-order dish #hkfgtwittertips

You know that line in American Beauty where that tortured emo guy who hooks up with Thora Birch is all like... "sometimes there's so much beauty in the world that it HURTS" and then Sam Mendes cuts to this video of a plastic bag flying around like it's meant to be some sort of visual cue to make us viewers realize, wow, the world IS beautiful, that plastic bag IS beautiful, in fact, we are ALL beautiful, hugsies! That was such a crock. But I still loved the movie.

Anyway, what Mendes should have instead filmed as an analogy for beauty, instead of a plastic bag floating in the wind like an unused extra from the Forrest Gump prop room, is some of this jewellery by Bevel, a new New York-based house whose brand of macabre, eerie jewellery actually matches up quite well with the Oscar-winning film. Okay, so this jewellery probably would not float in the wind. And for budget reasons, I guess a plastic bag comes free with a drink at 7-Eleven (or 50 cents if you're in Hong Kong), and a Xibalban Bloom necklace by Bevel (last shot after the cut) is US$1470. I guess that's why one of us is an Oscar-winning director, and one of us is a part-time blogger code-named Geek.
