I just got back yesterday from Hong Kong. Unfortunately I left my camera on the plane, so I've got to wait a few days to collect it from Heathrow. But for now, I thought I would post some scans from MILK magazine. MILK is the fashion/ music/ art/ lifestyle bible for kids in Hong Kong, for some reason blogs haven't really caught on so much over there. Personally I think it's better that way, if it was up to me online shops and blogs would be entirely abolished (I know, I am a hypocrite in both regards) but cost, convenience and technology dictate that the aforementioned are here to stay.
While we were there we celebrated the nation's transition from the year of the pig, into the year of the rat/ mouse (4 nights in a row). New year, as you probably know, is a much bigger event to the Chinese, images and statues and merchandise of rats or mice were everywhere you looked, and a good few billion fire crackers must have got bus' over those few days, aswell as huge parades and firework displays.
Because of the whole rat and mouse theme, Disney cashed-in majorly with becoup de merchandise and Disney Land Hong Kong promotions. Here's the Mickey & Minnie themed photoshoot in MILK, directd by Yeung Chi Kin:

Also MILK had a various other interesting pages, like the 6 page spread on Andreas Samuelsson:
Dude's style is crazy.
And then there was this fascinating display of some of Nike's 07 summer releases:
There was hella more worth blogging, but this is the highlights, I just wish now that I could read Cantonese because I'm sure I'm missing a lot by just looking at the pictures.
Pictures from HK will be up soon.
I'm going to bed, jet-lag is a motherfucker.
