So it's all about reeling down the bait with the oldest trick of the trade, s-s-s-s-suspense! Hush on the venue, the international act and the secret international singer, many of us in Hong Kong are wondering what has DFS up their sleeves for their 50th anniversary party this year.
It's hard to hide a venue that hosts 400 people, as SCMP reporters revealed. So now, we know its in Kai Tak and its in a 45m diameter giant dome! The plot thickens...
Stay tuned for party pics and insider gossip!
When 18 and belows are scouring for the most expensive ball gown to waltz in orchestra music in a tiara, clinking champagne glasses and declare "i am better" means, your city is in excess hell. Is the increasingly popular HK dream of becoming empresses and heiresses healthy, especially to minors?
The Austrian Chamber of Commerce thinks not. For a vibrant HK$54,000 at the Grand Hyatt ballroom, they will be hosting a string of soon-to-be Paris Hiltons at the Hong Kong Vienna Opera Ball boasting 1,000 square foot of debutante debauchery. Well, at least their parents are invited (and paying for it).

I fell in love with Diesel's "Be Stupid" campaign with its billboards and magazine spreads. Let's roam the roads of creative living! Oh, to live for the heart! To start creating, to have balls and take risks! While I cant' get enough of "Smart has One Good Idea and That Idea Was Stupid", those cheeky ones cooked up even more tongue in cheek social satire with "Sex Sells, but unfortunately, we sell jeans" , and may I say, sex indeed sells tickets to a launch party. WIth an invite advertising free trouser arouser toys, I'm in for the show.
Queens' Road, the new red light district? Amsterdamage-esque sex shop signage blaring the slogan
Scatters of posters, sprays of graffiti and two pairs of jeans on top of each other
Sausage, oh the love for its connotation. Oh yes! Hotdogs!
Point. Is that a "Reverse Cowgirl"? To win my very own x-ray vision glasses/trouser arouser or a glow in the dark rubber duckie, I need to identify position. Stiffle the giggles
This may not be as thought provoking as Be Stupid, but hey, you've got the guest list filled while boys gawk at bikini clad models and girls swoon at topless male examples

Oh no, oh yes! Donatella Versace herself is hosting her SS10 preview cocktail in Hong Kong!
And while eyespy was entering the door steps, catching snaps of the vibrant display of Versace's collection...
Donatella herself emerged out of no where! She is tiny (!), walking right pass eyespy in her 6 inch killer heels and iconic bleach blonde mane. (Note 7 ft tall "event partner" with a jacket meant for a 2050 black tie event)
Many a body guards surrounding the pouty diva, sniffing Diptique perfume while husky chuckling in Italian
And there she goes! What a sight!
