Behind The Scenes - FHM August 2009 - Animax Shoot

A joint effort by FHM and Animax to do a Shakugan No Shana cosplay photoshoot. We choose 3 girls to take on the role of Shana FHM style - Girl Next Door 2007 Crissty Chiang, Incoming Girl Carace Kwan and Girl Next Door 2009 finalist Kellie Yap.

Our 3 girls were up against FHM girls from Singapore, Indonesia and Phillipines.

Heineken Green Room 2009

Kuala Lumpur – Music, fashion and style collided in an explosion of energy at Heineken Green Room at Zouk KL on Saturday August 1st. Excitement had been rising in the run-up to the event thanks to the buzz generated at the Green Room State of Mind preview parties held at KL boutiques throughout July so anticipation was running high, and in the end the mix of Filthy Dukes, Verbal (m-flo & Teriyaki Boyz), the Goldfish and Blink Show, DJ XU and Didjital was pure dynamite.

Opening Heineken Green Room with the first of two collaborative sets from top local spinners DJs Goldfish and Blink, that intensity was obvious from the get-go. The pair used to be a regular sight on the KL scene, spinning shiny breaks, hard hip hop cuts and Euro-tinged electro and indie together at underground nights and parties. “It’s been a while since we did this,” admitted a visibly hyped Goldfish at lunch before the show. “But we’ve both been busy with other things: Blink with LapSap and me with GoldSounds, and my nights.”

“We’ve always stayed close,” continued Blink, “And we still hang out a lot. But then Heineken asked us to do something together for Green Room and we thought it was time. A lot of people forget that Alvin [Goldfish] makes electro and dance tracks as well; it’s just that he’s better known for hip hop right now.” For Goldfish it had been a busy month: his Electric Feel fashion and music installation, conceived with sevendays boutique partner Roxy, and their Green Room preview party was one of the highlights of Green Room State of Mind, Green Room’s art-based sister project.

Playing back to back as the Goldfish and Blink Show, they span a high-energy warm-up set in the fast-filling Zouk Mainroom, perfectly calibrated to mesh with Filthy Dukes’ electro rock grooves. But it was obvious they were reining it in and saving the best for later, when they were scheduled to play the all-important closing set at the packed club.

“Tonight is the strongest line up at Heineken Green Room yet,” commented Ms Jasmine Foong, Heineken Senior Brand Manager. “And certainly our strongest local line up, with special Green Room collaborations between Blink and Golfish, and Didjital and DJ XU, in addition to our Green Room State of Mind project line up. For our consumers and music fans this is a genuine and multi-disciplinary alternative to mainstream live music events, and a platform that is constantly moving to new high points.

Guinness Unveils Three Remarkable, Once-In-A Lifetime Experiences

GUINNESS UNVEILS THREE REMARKABLE, ONCE-IN-A LIFETIME EXPERIENCES – IN SPACE, UNDER THE SEA AND LIVE IN STUDIO WITH GLOBAL SUPERSTARS

Kuala Lumpur, July 2, 2009 – GUINNESS today unveiled the GUINNESS EXPERIENCES global consumer contest, part of the global GUINNESS 250 celebrations - marking 250 years since Arthur Guinness signed the 9,000 year lease on the St. James's Gate brewery in Dublin.

The contest will provide an unforgettable trip into space aboard Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic Spaceship, a journey to the depths of the sea in the world’s first GUINNESS deep sea bar; and an exclusive gig in an intimate studio setting with one of the biggest and hottest recording groups in the world, multi-platinum recording artist The Black Eyed Peas. The launch event in Malaysia, held at Aquaria KLCC, provided a suitably surreal feel as two divers enjoyed a toast with two bottles of GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout from inside the aquarium.

Since 1759, Arthur Guinness and the GUINNESS brand have been behind some remarkable and hugely momentous achievements. To continue this legacy and as part of the 250 celebrations, GUINNESS is giving something back to GUINNESS supporters around the world by offering the chance to win one of these three remarkable GUINNESS EXPERIENCES. Launched on 1^st July, this is the first consumer promotion held in markets around the world for the GUINNESS brand and the lucky winners will be announced later in the year.

GUINNESS SPACE EXPERIENCE

The GUINNESS SPACE EXPERIENCE will offer one lucky person the awe-inspiring opportunity to become one of the first early non-professional astronauts to venture into space with Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic, the world’s first commercial spaceline, and truly experience the ‘black stuff’ firsthand. The partnership between GUINNESS and Virgin Galactic brings together two iconic global brands.

The winner and a friend will be treated to an unforgettable trip to New Mexico – Virgin Galactic’s home at Spaceport America. Whilst there, the winner will be given full training to ensure they are mentally and physically prepared for the momentous flight that will race them through the Earth’s atmosphere at almost 2500mph – three times the speed of sound. Sitting 68 miles above the Earth’s surface, they will experience the amazing feeling of weightlessness; floating effortlessly around the cabin. The final jaw-dropping chapter to this astounding adventure will be the view of Earth from the blackness of space, stretching 1000 miles in all directions, before returning safely to the spaceport to receive official astronaut wings.

GUINNESS SEA EXPERIENCE

The GUINNESS SEA EXPERIENCE will offer one winner and two friends a truly unique experience; venturing to the depths of the sea in the first ever GUINNESS deep sea bar. The guests will be treated to an incredible four day trip to the Lofoten Islands in Norway, where they will board the exclusively designed GUINNESS deep sea bar and plunge into the black stuff. The winner and friends will be able to enjoy a GUINNESS in style, surrounded by a breathtaking seascape to depths of up to 70m below sea level.

GUINNESS STUDIO EXPERIENCE

The GUINNESS STUDIO EXPERIENCE entitles one winner and two friends to an exclusive live performance by The Black Eyed Peas (who have recently entered the charts at #1 with their new album THE E.N.D.) at an intimate recording studio as part of their forthcoming world tour. This is a private, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the winner and friends to experience the band’s music, up close and personal. After the performance, the winner and friends will round off this great experience by spending some time hanging out with the band, before enjoying the perfect GUINNESS.
