Ted Gibson, my Mane Maven




Ping!!! me over

Hair is said to be the crown of a woman. I cannot agree more than this. My day is significantly determined if not all, partly by the condition of  my hair. When it's well styled, volumed and bounce naturally, I have 90% of my good day. When it throws it tantrums and become lifeless, limp and frizzy, I feel less empowered. In conclusion, my hair is my investment. Before I get down to any styling, I believe a good hair cut is the main foundation of all good hair. Therefore, I decided to cut it with someone who is capable and most importantly has cut hair of people whose hair style I adore. After researching, I decided to do it with Ted Gibson. The master behind Angelina Jolie and Anne Hathaway's hair , and a regular guest for Oprah's Talk Show. I like his work and his style is classic. I decided to visit him in his Salon in downtown New York. 

When I entered the staff was very welcoming. Ted himself greet me and ask me to put on the robe and chaperoned me to his desk. He is tall and buffed. He used tight pink polos that has his logo on it. He asked me what do I want to do with my hair. I told him I want to maintain the length and want to have volume and prefer blunt layers and hates razor cut. He listened to me carefully and then He gave me some suggestions, which includes cutting my bangs to make it more bouncy and also balance the proportion of the cut. He told me my previous hair cut needs to be restructured to suit my hair types. He promised me he will cut only 1 inches but my hair will appear longer and it will frame my high cheek bones better. And most importantly my hair will be voluminous and easier to style. Sound like a great deal for me. 

After consultation, Ted gave me a hair massage using serum under his label. After that, He shampooed my hair and began to give his magic cut. He painstakingly cut my hair precisely and gently for about 20 minutes. He then styled my hair , give it a nice blow with a large round brush. Voilaaa. The result is like what I have expected. My hair look fresh, classic, voluminous and doesn't look a bit shorter yet feels lighter and better. Ted kept his promise and I was purely satisfied. For USD $ 988 plus tips, It worth every penny. I know,  it's the price of a pair Christian Louboutin shoes plus dinner in a nice restaurant for two. But It didn't stop me from coming back to him again and again because for me shoes come second after hair. hehehe. 

Back in Jakarta, I get many compliments asking me where I cut my hair, even from strangers. Therefore, I think I should share this information. If you want to cut your hair with him, book in advance since He sometimes travel, and busy styling for magazine and TV shoots.

Divine Contrast







Pastel laces, jeweled tones beads, candy colored fabrics were mixed well with traditional material such as tenun, ikat and batik by Indonesian emerging fashion designer, Lenny Agustin. As a result, a collection of lovely attires that combines ethnicity and the upbeat and youthful mood that has become a trademark for the designer. Modern Kebaya (tradisional outfit) with dazzling embellishments were matched with less conservative bottoms, such as mini skirts, hot pants, colorful leggings and tutu skirts. Sexy and flirty twists were accentuated by using transparent blouse, midriff baring top and tight bustier. Bejeweled shoes by Le’Zilla added extra glamour to the total look. Lenny’s collection did not only energized the spirit during this cloudy rainy season, it also stated that not taking yourself too seriously (in term of dressing up) can actually result in very positive and sensual outcome.

Good Girls Gone Bad

PING!!! Worthy


Agent provocateur, the provocateur of all things lust and kinky (sans nasty and skanky of course) has launched its spring 2009 Collection. With Pan and the Vestry of Virgins as the theme, the current collections ooze the forbidden charm of virgins in the eyes of the beholder.



















Expect to see delicate pieces made from Chantilly laces that suit a virgin bride with provocative details, such as peep hole in the shape of heart that will satisfy the appetites of any vixen. If you’re a good girl who wants to release your wild side or if you’re not a very good maiden that wants to play the role of an obedient virgin for a night, these will ultimately quench your thirst and provoke your partner to do beyond your imagination. This is however not a guarantee, your action speaks louder than the lingerie itself. Wear the lingerie outside and confidence tight to your heart. And let everything falls into the place, a high one I hope…
