» What's left to talk about in style after clothes, accessories, hair and make-up, but skin? And we're not just after skincare, which takes ages to show subtle results, but something trendy you can do to your skin instantly, temporarily and harmlessly for some dramatic self-expression. The hot topic in style this week is sticker tattoos. The benefits of this form of peel-on skin décor are vast, ranging from deliberately annoying conservative folks to entertaining the idea of getting a real one. Whatever your motive, you gotta know what's out there, and that's where we come in. Guru reviews three local vendors for temporary tatts, all of which can be ordered via your phone.

» Considering the number of micro-schools in Thailand for teaching English, and yet our notoriously low proficiency in the language, there is clearly a disconnect between what's on offer and what we need. An online-based start-up by the name of Globish Academia, however, is staunchly determined to break the stalemate. Having recently triumphed on the television show Tiger Wings, receiving a B3-million kickstart from Tan Passakornnatee of Ichitan and Paiboon Damrongchaitham of GMM Grammy, Globish Academia is an undeniable rising star in the tutoring school industry, because of an approach traditional educators may find unorthodox. We catch up with one of the founders, 25-year-old "Juice" Chuencheewan Wongsaeree, to talk about the new kind of English that could finally make a difference for this nation.

» If you've been waiting aeons for the new Star Wars film, there's no way you're going to see it as a covert fan. So air out that Wookiee suit, polish the metal bikini and give your Jedi robe a good lint-rollin' sesh. I don't know about your circles, but mine has already begun to designate cosplay characters. Intimidated? Then you better not show up underdressed.

» When Becky Horace, founder of online publication Seek Magazine, arrived in Bangkok in the beginning of 2013, she noticed her 18-month-old son was severely struggling to adjust, and their decision to seek early medical consultation with the Reed Institute, an autism and learning disabilities school in Bangkok, turned out to be the right one.
