For all you jazz lovers out there, I want you to know something sacred. That documentary on jazz put together by Ken Burns is incredible! It not only traces the history of jazz, but is oh so entertaining. The music of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Thelonius Monk is all featured. Scenes from the Savoy in Harlem, Roseland in Midtown, and the speakeasies around the nation take you back to a glorious time in America. Go to www.pbs.org/jazz/. Great fun!

Singapore - Raffles
Alright bloggofriends. I am now in Singapore and promise to cover the fashion and music scene here more regularly. Not having a private vpn in China had its challenges.
The Lion City has so much to offer, but let me start with my first acquisition. The Raffles hotel has a beautiful gift store. It is a more interesting store than any I have seen in a long time. Well, I bit the bullet and bought a beautiful pair of silver Raffles Hotel Cufflinks. They are made of sterling silver and look so historic! Go look for them in Singapore at the Raffles hotel and own a piece of history and check out www.raffles.com/singapore/
You might also know that Raffles is the place where the Singapore Sling originated at Long bar. It's profligate at 28 bucks a pop, but worth it perhaps, once. Stay away from those free peanuts they give you - yeah the only place in SIngapore where you can litter the shells on the floor of the Long Bar. They are shitty peanuts.
