Rockin' the 80's at Elizabeth Kiing Beads & Accessories Charity Dinner 2011!

On last 21st October, i have been invited by Cutebun to attend a charity dinner held by Elizabeth Kiing Beads & Accessories at Crown Square. i was veeerrryyyy nervous but excited because the dresscode theme was TGIF and we have to rock the 80's style! XD

Honestly, i wasn't that familiar with the company's name, so i asked around and was shocked that the company was actually the shop that i have been drooling outside the window wanted to go in because of the awesome handmade things and pretty interior, but i got dragged off by my husband. ^^;;
So i guess that it was my lucky opportunity to be able to attend the dinner. ^^ If you are wondering, the shop is located at Ground floor, One Jaya, Jalan Song, Kuching, Sarawak.

Dakara sa! Went to the wardrobe and hunted for anything 80's. i knew i can get something from the wardrobe of my sister's and mine! Teeheehee! *evil giggles* We sisters are fond of everything vintage. Since i got myself a blazer with the huge shoulder pads, made a tulle bow with getah sayur and put it on top of my fedora (damn, i wish i have a bowler hat), put on a lace glove, layers of necklaces, big hoop earrings, grabbed my engineer boots...so Guns'N'Roses-inspired collaborate with Boy George style, here we go!

At the event, there were lots of lovely bling-blings on sale i couldn't take my eyes off of them! Too bad i didn't get to snap a picture or two of them because i got the tendencies of being panic and nervous with lots of people around. -_-

All of the ticket sales went to the Sarawak Autistic Society, Sarawak Mental Health Association, Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society and also to the fire victims of Kpg Sait.


The ambiance. 
There were some people that were in the dresscode that i managed to spot; 
denim jackets, off-shoulder oversized shirts, and acid-washed jeans.


Our tickets. Complimentary for Bloggers, YAY! XD

Yikes! Flash...

i had my dumb moment by this time...
Spilled the beads out the glass...
*damn malu la wei...*


i got this darling as the door gift! *rabu rabu*


Sherrie aka Cutebun.

Cik Puan Videl. Haha! 
My crazy poofy Slash hairstyle dah madot... ;_;
Alamak, my eye make-up cannot be seen.
i guess that's the disadvantages when using old eye shadows.

Met new friends!
Introducing Angel and Eve!



There were lots of interesting fashion show concepts on that night; from the 80's, Evening wear, Leisure wear to the theatrical-LadyGaga-styles... mind you...i LOVE the make-ups on the models (one reminded me of NoorKumalasari, one of the great actress in the 80s.), as well as performances, dances, lucky draw and not forgotten Antique Beads show~!




Woohoo! Groove on baybehhh!!!

There was a 'Cliff Richard' too, but didn't managed to get his picture.

Kudos to the students from Swinburne University, Kuching!


And we have been amused by the appearance of this little photographer.
Anak sapa stylish gilak makey seloar ala-Burberry tok? 
Kiut jak rupa tangannya embak DSLR. Was it a D700?


Eve was nominated as the Best Dressed on that night! 
Deputy Works Minister Datuk Yong Khoon Seng presented the award to her.
Datuk was cool enough to debut his catwalk too! ^^

p/s: i love the lady presenter's necklace!


Happy girl Eve. 
Congratulations!
