      First thing that happened when we got to the hotel was that we met Ed Lim, he had bough Bronuts for us all…

      We then had to get off to the exhibitor event (which was amazing).  On the boat going across the river to the restaurant…

      Miki, from Full Count…

      Paula and Tux (from the Selvedge Forum), being photo bombed by Kyle from The Flat Head…

      Nice patch Tux…

      Pure Blue Japan and Lightning magazine…

      Good question…..

        I'm almost afraid to ask about the ping pong show.

                I've been to one of the ping-pong shows. Honestly, other than some stuff that they pulled out from down "there", you can't see anything because the lighting is usually very bad hahaha.

                    When I went to Singapore a few years back there were signs in the buses: No smoking, no drinking, and no Durians.

                    For those who haven't been to that part of Asia, the Durian fruit has rather a strong odour, and it isn't particularly pleasant. Hence the ban on them in civilised company.

                      I love durians. And love the smell of it.

                      However, if you keep durian in an enclosed air conditioned room, it can smell really bad. And the smell usually lingers for a really long time. I bought durians about a week ago, and i can still smell the durians everytime i turned on the air con unit.

                        Chasing my tail as always.  Will pop loads more pics up here later.  Here are a couple…

                        Our 3rd Collab with Pronto and possibly our faster ever seller.  So popular that customers were using changing rooms on other brands stands to try them on (we were almost embarrassed.....)...

                        And this is Art.  He was described as an Iron Heart brand ambassador and "would we mind him hanging around our stand".  Would we mind?  The guy was amazing, thanks Art….

                          here's what's continued on day 2. took a trip to thailand's famous weekend market! not much photos but alot of walking and then we took a trip into chinatown on the river taxi.


                          i had no idea i was being shot.

                          great sunny albeit a hot hot hot day!!
                          and so the next day was the carnival..



                          i won't say the place was huge but the turnout was fantastic. lots of people and denim heads around.

                          met a couple sufu people there, ed(demonito) didnt get a picture(i forgot), kyle(cold summer) and such.


                          with kobayashi-san

                          The Flathead crew..

                          and of course not to miss, Giles, Paula, Haraki-san and Sarina

                          I have to say, the IH both wasn't in the best of places as the sun was literally shining on the up till evening. I think G and P have gone through alot just to brave the heat! HAHA, well, then i dragged them out for a cuppa that at least freshen them up! but hey was a good carnival!

                          don't have much pictures thus far or i havent gone through my library YET, but here's for now!

                          cheers!

                            A few pics I gratuitously stole for the Pronto Denim Carnival thread on The "Selvedge Forum"…

                              It was Haraki's Birthday the day before the carnival.  We did our best to humiliate him on stage….

                                      This is what I call a pair of stacks.  XHS Thai Styley…..

                                      Apparently Sarina looks like a Thai as many people came up to her and started asking questions in Thai.  This sticker was made for her.  She was told that it said "I am Japanese, not Thai, please do not ask me questions, I will not understand what you are saying".  We had to make her take it off at dinner last night.  There were 2 other suggestions as to what it said.  1) I am in need of a boyfriend, please leave me your email address, I do not promise I will contact you.  2) I am a lot more stupid than I look, so don't ask anything complicated….

                                        And, as I said above, it was Haraki's birthday the day before yesterday.  Pronto had made him a brilliant cake….
