I came across a production of My Fair Lady by the Asian American Theater Project from a YouTube email I received over the weekend. With a predominantly Asian cast, the production apparently has an interesting twist as it not only examines the “classism” between a middle class Professor Henry Higgins, lower class Eliza Dolittle and […]
Once again, Hervé Léger provided the audience with the typical, bodycon looks. Ranging from below-the-knee dresses to shorter pieces and some body suits, there really isn’t that much of a deviation, save for a few select styles (namely the fringey skirts). No surprise, of course. It’s the signature, after all. Therefore, it’s probably better to […]
I have to say that this week’s list of mystery ingredients weren’t as crazy as episode 5. It was just the combination that was strange. Sure, some of the items were a bit on the “exotic” side, but it wasn’t enough to gross the chefs out too much (unlike last week, where they had to […]
I think I’ve had it with BCBG Max Azria – the runway pieces, anyway. They sell them at many their stores – especially in higher end neighbourhoods – but the pieces are almost never wearable, unless you look like a model. And yes, the upcoming fall/winter season is no different. The skirt lengths were, for […]
New York Fashion Week starts today! Though we will not be in New York to see the shows in person, we will be watching online and will post reviews for the Fall 2014 collections on selected designers either the day of the showing or the following day, depending on whether we catch the show live. […]
What exactly IS DelectablyChic!? We have been publishing under this brand name for more than three years, and over six if the previous brand, Prospere Magazine was included in the mix. We have always had a mixture of food, fashion/beauty, travel and other topics such as events and some entertainment, and it is what the […]
Finally, Susur Lee makes his appearance on Chopped Canada! And having him on the show definitely makes things more interesting – for one, he’s more critical of the chefs. In fact, he’s like that teacher everyone hated in elementary school – the Mean One who gave kids too much homework. Contestants this week included Eric […]
Traditionally, Chinese people don’t eat meat on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is tomorrow (January 31). So, if you’re looking for something that is vegetarian or vegan, but not traditional Chinese food, you might want to try this lentil and chickpea stew, inspired by a lentil curry recipe I found online. […]
The Lunar (Chinese) New Year starts on Friday, and for many of us, especially those who are lucky enough to have many relatives living in or near our hometown, it means dinners and celebrating with family. And if you have a big family, it means lots of uncles, aunts and cousins. And this can get […]
Those who know me know that I have a love-hate relationship with Jezebel, the women’s interest site on celebrity gossip that often puts a feminist twist on issues (though usually one-sided, which is why I have “issues”). On Sunday night, a post called “Please, Don’t Tell Me that I Look Better Without Make-up” went live. […]
