Chinese New Year came and went like a get merry train. After a week of practical starvation (it’s not the models that aren’t eating, it’s the people going to see the shows…… there was diddly squat to be found at shows…just copious amounts of Evian), I feasted to my heart’s content and received lucky money until my pockets were satisfactorily stuffed. However, seeing as I’m in the year of the pig, and its also the year of the GOLDEN pig (comes every 60 years me thinks…), I’m thinking it’s special enough to warrant my demand of these suitably red items; YSL red suede and black patent spiky heeled patent shoes and a frilly Easton Pearson dress. There’s no two ways about it; the impending fortunes of my Golden Pig depends on my having these items. With my lucky money wads, I’m well on my way to obtaining one of those items but….just a little bit more and I’ll be there with my ‘lucky’ items.

I’m pig also,the fact that we HAVE to wear red really please me! I love red.
2007 is actually not the Year of the Golden Pig, but the Year of the Fire Pig. Doesn’t sound quite as cool, I know, but the Golden Pig apparently just is a marketing stunt to boost consumption (and natality rates) in China.
those shoes are a dream.
So basically, I’m in love with your blog. YSL, HELLO?!
yves saint laurent sky high heels…
swoon
eek! buy the lucky red goodies! I would if I were you…
A very belated happy new year to you, Susie! Go for the lucky red…
Oh happy new year! (albeit a bit late to that). When you say you’re a pig, does that mean the animal that relates to the year you were born? I believe I’m an Ox, and as a Taurean I’m a bull, so I was always doomed to be stubborn…
The shoes are gorgeous but will you be able to walk in them??
i always thought when it’s the year of the animal you’re in it will be your unlucky year. Or so it is said in Viet Nam. maybe red helps as it’s the lucky color in China.
I do love those heels and if I have to sit the entire time… so be it lol…
Hey Susie, I’m a pig too!
Thanks for the reminder, I’d better get some red in my wardrobe PDQ!
