I recently saw a Sperry Top-siders display in Singapore in a very hip shoe store and couldn’t help but think these might be the Vans of 2007. Maybe not in black, patent leather, but stranger things have happened.

Best Dressed Men
The ultimate male global style guide comes from men.style.com. I have a bunch of links to these types of pictorial street blogs, but this one takes the cake. After I sent the link to Jen, she immediately IMed me with, “MY GAYDAR IS OVERLOADING! I THINK IT’S BROKEN”. That’s style for you.

Cathay Pacific – 18 Hours of “What the —–?!”
For those who don’t know anything about my parents, in particular my father, who book and purchase all of my travel, they like to do everything at the low cost of free. This has led to a pretty infamous lodging booking in 1994 at what was clearly a half-way house in Honolulu and in a few years previous, a cabin in Yosemite that housed only 2 when there were eight of us. Many stays at Circus Circus later, I still can’t believe I haven’t been kidnapped, traded for a bucket of nickels and or sold for a ten sac of crack.
Well the time to end these travel atrocities is 2007! My father finally booked a budget ticket that wasn’t complete ass.
ENTERTAINMENT EXTRAVANGANZA!
I ran into an episode of Kath & Kim while flipping through the channels and almost had a brian aneurysm (“I’m only yuman”). It’s a frickin’ welcome change to Friends. They’re not even Friends anymore, why do I still have to watch this shit?Then I got caught up in this Japanese movie called, “Rough” which is apparently based on a comic book. High school sport scholarship winners go to training camp where the two main characters have the classic “Boy likes girl who hates him at first but will eventually fall in love with him after a little misunderstanding has been breached (usually by a bystanding fat friend, by accident of course).” Except this girl doesn’t just give the guy the cold shoulder in the beginning, she calls him a “Murderer”. Like a lot. Like that’s the only thing she says and it’s to him for the first 45 minutes of the movie.
I watched most of it only to be cut off by the landing of the plane in Singapore. Looked for it on Netflix, nowhere to be found. Why hasn’t Netflixed boarded that train? Traveling People all over the world are falling asleep to movies they’ve never heard of before. Get with the times and find the airlines’ playlists, Netflix! CROSS-PROMOTION FOREVER!
FREE STUFF
After the typical handing out of moist toilettes and nappy re-used headsets, we got this free little pouch with matching neck strap (I lost the neck strap). It had socks (I lost the socks), a toothbrush and toothpaste (I used the toothbrush and toothpaste), and blinders for sleeping (I just don’t use those). So basically, I got a free bag, but it’s still pretty cool.YOU’RE PRETTY
Some of the stewardesses had vintage uniforms with the dates the outfit was worn on their name tags. This little number came with a high waist a-line skirt and a skinny black belt (so cute!). I didn’t have the nerve to take a picture on the plane, so this photo credit goes to ktsin. -
