Social Media Brunch 4

The Social Media Brunch 4 just happened yesterday at the URA Theatrette. First of all, I love the way the SMB organizers try to innovate and experiment what type of activities would work best for SMB|SG, and a big thank you again to them for tirelessly organizing them all. I especially admire the fact that the finances are all coming out of either theirs or benefactors' pockets. It's hard enough organizing an event no matter how much funding you have under your belt; it's a whole different level when you are so passionate you are willing to pay for food, stationery, etc. Salut! And ok, I have to stop for one moment and reiterate something everyone's been saying.

Willy Foo and his crew is amazing.

Look at this.


The expressions captured in the photos taken through out the event are magical. It's as if all of them have this shutter-sense when this or that is gonna smile, or laugh, or raise his eyebrows.

I wanna do photography next time. It will probably burn a smokin' hole in my pocket.

This time a panel discussion was held on Corporate Adoption of Social Media, an issue that has been festing on the minds of just about anyone involved in an concern in any capacity about Singapore's social media scene. We all know that companies are reluctant to jump into social media, when here we are dancing in it as if we were swimming in liquid gold, and this discussion gave us a chance to, as I said, bring the thorny issues to the table and hammer it all out. Personally it was a very absorbing discussion, and given the unusual silence and rapt attention the audience in general was giving, they felt the same. You can read the record of major points raised in the live blogging post, found in the link at the top of this article, or you can head over to Tech65 to hear the not-perfect-but-we-did-our-best audio recordings.

After hearing that whole load of stuff, and then talking to Brian Koh and Melvin Yuan, I realised that as someone who deeply aspires to be in the PR industry, as well as loves tech, I should really be reading up alot more than I am now (in other words, next to never) about the whole marketing, PR and social media scene in Singapore, and just for knowledge in SEA and US. So I'm going start that now, and you may expect to see more PR/SMSG related stuff coming from this blog. You may. I leave you to decide.

Good to know that this session has re-invigorated your interest and motivation to learn more abt PR/communications. For me, the whole social media element is adding to the diversity, challenge and fun of having decent (or fun and frivolous) dialogues with your audience.

One thing about [url=http://www.hotdeal.vn/ho-chi-minh/]Thoi trang nam[/url] that is pretty incredible is how far-reaching it has shown itself to be among the populace. Considering that it can affect so many people, you may have seen someone you know talk about it. However, there is far more to consider and seriously weigh in your mind.

But most people have a decent perspective about many of the different results. Not only that, but it is completely natural and normal to want to find what you are searching for. Here are just a couple of useful guidelines on this specific subject, and you can build from that as you see fit.

The general difficulties of men's and women's fashion

Both men and women may feel the difficulties of maintaining their wardrobe up-to-date and in time, yet men's style usually feels a lot easier. Of program, for both sexes, clothes and style options can be just as delicate, and there are many'trendy'items that can easily become fashion faux pas - who can say they often times see people walking on in 70s flames? On the other side, men's style has a few choice goods that can exist forever - which man is going to look out of place with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Pick basic pieces, colours and fabrics and you'll never seem out-of-place.

Why classic men's style is eternal

The common man's suit has hardly changed for over a hundred years. True, there are many varieties for different events, but they are all popular in their pursuit of a clever, sharp try to find the person. The great thing about basic fashion for men is that it's efficiently fashionable effectively cool. A well-groomed gentleman will almost always look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and it is a testament to the style of such apparel. A match will undoubtedly be used to work in several occupations due to the professional look it offers to the wearer, instilling a feeling of respect and confidence. Equally a suit will undoubtedly be utilized to many social events, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie event. This incredible versatility which allows matches to be used in almost all occasions is what gives it its eternal advantage and a lasting invest men's fashion.

Modern movements in classic men's fashion

Though classic men's styles can never be changed, it is interesting to remember that changes in men's fashion trends have brought particular common clothes back to fashion. The recognition of vintage clothing, specifically, has brought back a wide-variety of common designs into men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy gentleman. 'Dandy'is a term used to make reference to men who dress in a classic yet elegant way, working in a polished method and placing importance on appearance. This trend for nearly'over-the-top'classic fashion for men is apparent from events like the'Tweed Run', wherever men and women of all ages dress yourself in particularly Victorian-style clothing and decide to try the streets on vintage bikes - with many of the men sporting impressive mustaches! This is only one of many examples of research displaying the revival of such variations. There are also numerous sites online which give attention to gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as entire internet sites such as'The Art of Manliness'dedicated to providing articles on classic men's fashion and grooming.

In conclusion, though specific areas of basic men's fashion may be brought back as new styles, the simple clothes that they are based on will never fall out of fashion.
