Accessory stop

As I was walking the streets of the city the other day, enjoying the approach of summer, I came upon a lovely little ( and I mean tiny) shop on Changshu Lu just opposite what was once Pasta Fresca, selling cool trinkets and woven bags, and generally trendy personality filled accessories. The best part however must be their excellent and reasonable prices and I strongly recommend that you check it out if you're in need of some new accessories for the weekend party.

Handbag heaven

Also on the shopping front, light pink and blue handbags are becoming the rage. You can find them, as you can find just about anything else in the fashion line, in the Huating Market, and in the handbag shops on Shaanxi Nan Lu. If it's a bargain that you're looking for, I would go to the Huating Market first, they seem to have almost everything you need and then some.

Quinn sayonara

Singer Quinn at the Cotton Club is leaving pretty soon at the end of his stint in Shanghai. There is talk of a replacement coming from Texas to play with guitarist Greg, who claims to have the lowest-temperature personality around. My friends and I would like thank Quinn for a lot of happy nights at the Cotton Club and may your replacement be as good as you.

Short vs long

Fashion trend watch - for Shanghai girls, short hair is still very much in, except for certain very defined market niches where the long black hairstyle will always have a certain attraction. But for the guys, it's moving in the opposite direction - a hairlength south of the collar is getting postively common even though the summer is here and the shorter hair would be more convenient in the heat to come or?!.

Star Wars

NOT yet on the street are copies of the new Star Wars movie which opened across the known universe on May 19. What's WRONG with our Shanghai suppliers!! Come ON guys!!! How long shall we wait for the first episode of this universal battle???

Byeeee!!!!!!!!
