Mind Your Body - Interview with Jaymee Ong

There's an interview with Jaymee Ong in today's Straits Times supplement "Mind Your Body".

A fun read for all Jaymee fans, though I'm too sure of her hairstyle in the featured photo. Kinda makes her look like a female Vulcan or something lol.

This would be my last blog posting for a while....I'll be leaving for a week's vacation later this evening. See ya all in a week's time!

Kimono Girl

I just released this scan under my dScans WWSA series.

This image was from a promotional brochure from a local shopping centre - can any local folks guess which? :)

I usually grab stuff which catches my eye. More often than not, that usually meant pretty girls ^-^. I then put it in a folder of assorted stuff, which I'll browse through occasionally to see if there's anything interesting to scan. This was a particularly eye catching and attractive image - the vibrant background and the colourful, intricate patterns on the girl's kimono just do it for me. I just knew it would be a nice scan - and I hope many of you think so :)

It's a pity that I had to trim the lower part of the image, but there was too much text to retouch out.

Dolce Magazine - Distribution

Well, the Dolce Magazine cover featuring Felicia Chin certainly drew a lot of interest. A fair number of folks has written in to ask where I got the magazine.

I work in the CBD area, and the magazine seemed to be readily available here. I got mine from Funan Centre while I was on my lunch break. I typically don't get the magazine unless the cover catches my eye :) I've got one with Rebecca Tan a few months back - gorgeous cover, but I haven't gotten around to scanning it yet.

Dolce magazine has 2 pages inside which show the places where you can grab the magazine. I've scanned it, just click on the graphic on the left for a bigger image.

It's a free magazine, though, so I would expect the stocks to go fast. So those who are interested in getting one better hustle!

Felica Chin, Cover of Dolce Magazine

I just released 2 scans of Felicia Chin. As usual, you can grab the full sized scans from the archive here.

She certainly looked very girlish here - all bright eyed and bushy tailed. She just looks overwhelmingly sweet & wholesome, just the kind of girl you'll bring home to meet your parents without a second's thought :) Heh, maybe that's why Vitagen chose her as their model.

I had to do some colour correction on the cover - there was too much cyan and the overall picture was a bit too cool for my liking. Also, the cover pic seemed a little out-of-focus when I examined the full-sized scan, and there were strange blotches in the brown blackground. I was not too sure if that's a printing artefact or that they used a mottled background for the shoot. I was too lazy to do much retouching on the background, so I applied a texture layer on it. It hides those splotches good lol.

Oh well, Dolce is a free magazine anyway, so I guess we can't complain too much ^-^
