Disney for days
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 06/08/2016
» Two American things Thais really like come together this season. As one of the exclusive projects that celebrate American pop culture and to commemorate Coach's 75th anniversary, the house of leather joins hands with the House of Mouse to create limited-edition bags that play canvas to the world's most famous mouse. With sketches created by Disney's animators, Mickey Mouse sits on the signature glove-tanned leather of totes, bag packs, wallets and messenger bags. Like the previous Peanuts collection, the embossed character at the bottom of the bag is a bit of a blink-and-you'll-miss decoration, but this time, there are bold hang-tags in the shape of Mickey's gloves and face also. If you'd rather proclaim your love more loudly, some bags have the actual Mickey Mouse ear sprouting out from body, which can be spotted a mile away, be it in black or the very red of Mickey's two-buttoned pants. Find the Disney x Coach collection at Coach stores in CentralWorld, The EmQuartier and Siam Paragon.
To selfie or not to selfie?

» The photograph was fuzzy, but ironically, I clearly remember the moment of coming across it, and what was on it, as if it were just yesterday. It was a picture of a pale, blurry blob of a face, framed by jet-black hair tied in a low ponytail. On that face, lay an eager smile and two unfocused specks of flash in what appeared to be beady and squinty eyes. Two pale arms on the sides implied that the camera was already as stretched out as far as it could be. But all this happened a terribly long time ago, circa 1994, way before the ghastly concept of the selfie was born.
Ice to see you again, Disney

» Disney On Ice has never failed to excite youngsters, and from the look of this year's enthusiastic response, it will continue to so do for many years to come.
Old tales to new heights

» You don't have to be a girl to love Disney On Ice: Dare To Dream, which will arrive in Bangkok on March 26, but I'm sure it would help. This year, the latest round of family fun by Feld Entertainment brings four of Disney's most inspirational princesses on an Asia-Pacific tour.
Dazzling, dreamlike Cinderella
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 13/03/2015
» Good old storytelling and a bit of magic is what Disney does best (and should stick to). Let's all just sit back and be dreamy-eyed for a change — everything the Mouse House has churned out with a try-hard dark twist was terribly bland and forgettable (ahem, Alice In Wonderland) — or, in Maleficent's case, like watching an hour-long advertisement for Angelina Jolie.
Intimate, contemporary and queer
Life, Published on 11/12/2014
» The first Bangkok Queer Theatre Festival is drawing to a close this weekend after an 11-week run, which began on Sept 27, at the new Sun Dance Theatre in Silom. The festival showcases two original plays, two contemporary dances and two solo performances by established and emerging artists — an admirable achievement. Our only complaint was the absence in representation of lesbians and transsexuals. But if such a festival continues, it is likely that more artists showcasing works about other sexual identities will emerge.
Cheaper labour: Leave Thailand or not?

» Good reasons to stay in Thailand even though 300 baht minimum wage makes production more expensive here.
