Showtika said she never meant to spark off speculation that there might be deep, philosophical reasons for her adoption of “Nolanolee”, the moniker she uses to sign the art she creates.

    Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 08/04/2014

Little girls, especially, still dream of becoming Disney princesses despite finger-waving warnings and criticisms of gender stereotyping and not-so-subtly hidden chauvinistic values.

    Blast from the past

    Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 02/04/2013

    » Eighties pop has long become a neutral ground for social functions _ from weddings to office parties.
