Freek Out

"People are unconscious and you have to use your art as a shock machine to wake them up."

-Ninja, Die Antwoord

I've waited so long to do a Die Antwoord-inspired shoot and I finally got round to it this weekend with the help of Mas Widi and Babon. Die Antwoord is one of my fav musical groups at the moment and vocalist Yolandi Visser is such an awesomely edgy fashion idol! It was a perfectly orchestrated collaboration; Mas Widi is awesome at photography and lighting, I handled the concepting, styling and make-up, and Babon is responsible for the wonderful impressionist art covering the wall and my tshirt. I really love trying new things and experimenting with creative styles (and it's both fun and challenging to produce something more artistic and less 'pretty' lol) so I hope to do more like this soon =)

Going Solo

"Suro Diro Joyoningrat, Dening Pangastuti"

-Javanese Philosophy

Meaning: All courage, strength and greatness will become arrogant, conceited and selfish if it is not combined with wisdom, love and kindness.

This weekend was me, @iphann, @nicowijaya and @claradevi's long-awaited roadtrip to Solo city! By the time we'd navigated our way from Yogyakarta (Ivan and Nico did all the work while me and Clara had a nap in the back seat!) we were all starving, so the first place of interest on our agenda was Mbak Lies Warung Selat Solo on Jl. Serengan Gang II. The decor is an interesting mixture of traditional Chinese and Dutch and the whole menu is delicious! After our bellies were full we ventured to Jl. Diponegoro to wander around the Triwindu Antique Market. It was great to explore a new city with friends and snap some pics on the way =) Hope to go on another expedition soon!

"We'll fly Together"

"Look up for the stars and don't be shy of the sky"

-Yes or No

This time of year is always tough for singletons, and me and my fellow bachelorette Clara Devi are no exception. However, we do our best to turn negatives into positives and be thankful for all of the great relationships we have (be it family, friends or pets). Sometimes we all crave attention or affection from some outer source, forgetting that those around us are always ready to take care of us when we need it. So this year we decided to try out some androgynous looks and be our own 'special someones'!

Happy Valentines
