As I was enjoying reading this month’s Malaysian Women’s Weekly, I started taking a few notes on what I really liked and proceeded to jot them on my shopping list. That’s when the idea came to me to write reviews of my favorite magazines and share it.
“At The Weekly we have real women in mind.”
Says Fashion & Beauty Editor, Melati Kesuma Kamaruddin.
That’s why I buy it!
This month of October 2010 is the 10th Anniversary Collector’s Issue of the magazine.
HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY MALAYSIAN WOMEN’S WEEKLY!
THINK PINK & LOVE LIFE, MWW celebrates like a grand lady with the kind of Style that comes from the heart. It starts with a small yet clever folded flyer organised like a calendar with a guide for Breast Self Examination.
Inside the call is to go out on October 12th and “SHOP IT PINK” at Mid Valley Megamall where listed stores will offer special deals and discounts and donate parts of the proceeds from the night to the BreastCancer Welfare Association. My question is, why can’t this be done at national level? Or at least in 1 shopping mall in every city? Why can’t we do this in Kuching? Sponsors, think about it.

FAVORITE Styles:
Michelle Yeoh, hits me not with a kick but with the sheer power of elegance. She is one classy lady, who forgot to leave her training watch at home. Page 8
For once in as far as I can remember, I find Nicole Richie looks healthy, elegant and well, attractive. I think that giving up the blond hair was a sensible choice; brunettes are hot! Page 9

Page 11, I found the ladies in The VLBD (Very Little Black Dress) and without a second of hesitation, I gave my vote goes to Jessica Alba She is wearing Lanvin.
Page 30 is about “Sleek elegance” with one of the most (if not the most) stylish, Malaysian Woman, Sheila Majid. There is a full article on her (pages 50 to 52): “SHEILA UP CLOSE” She has been in the music industry for 25 years!
On the same page, I absolutely love Bottega Venetta’s purple dress.
“Runway Updates”
Page 141. While the Alberta Ferretti's Grecian evening dress looks stunning...
If I could a) turn the clock back b) return unwanted goods to Michelin I’d for the little Gucci lacy LBD.
Page 145 Ever in love and totally comfortable with this almost “passe partout” Style by Oscar de la Renta!!!
Page 142 Oscar de la Renta, you’ve touched my heart again (and you keep doing it): the cloth, the print, the cut...
SORRY Styles :
Cheryl Cole looks like she jumped straight out of bed straight onto Page 9. I suppose that if I were a man, I'd probably find her ravishing to undress. I'm a bit concerned about those heels though; they may prove quite extreme in bed.

I am not sure if it was worth for Zhou Xun to invest in a Dior dress to end up looking so haggard? Page 10 and I am not quite sure where Diane Kruger was going in golden feathered Lanvin outfit? As for Victoria Beckham, sorry I've always felt that no matter what she wears she simply can’t help looking trashy.
The nicest pair of legs? On this page at least, as much as it pains me, I have to give my vote to Victoria Beckham!
GREAT WOMEN OF OUR TIME
A tough choice, however I vote for Gillian Hung perhaps because I am so into textiles myself, yet mostly because I understand how much determination and courage she must have needed to expatriate herself to far, far away “planet” New York where she had to survive with odd jobs, adapt to just about everything and everyone and compete to succeed; all this most probably made even tougher with periodical bouts of loneliness. Gillian, you are beautiful.

StylesTIPS Page 126, learn how to “dress your body better” by wearing the right dress with the right bra. Keep that page or take notes.
INSPIRATION:
“Inspire LOVE & LIFE” was lost on me. If you follow this blog, you know I found both the book (Eat, Pray and Love – sigh...) BORING. Why am not surprised to see that the writer (Elisabeth Gilbert) looks like its creation, that is: BORING! And no, I don’t want to know what she does or doesn’t do with Felipe.

HUNK OF THE MONTH
Allan Who? Oh, Allan Wu! On page 225
Yeap! I agree he looks yummy. Is this an impromptu pause? I guess not. This is teasing Style!
WHAT’S IN IT FOR THE STARS? Page 262
Can any one question the stars for me on why, oh why for crying out loud, is beautiful, sparkling Libra Katy Perry with such a yucky odd ball dude?
Can’t wait for the Scorpio issue of
WOMEN’S WEEKLY
