The scents of success
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 27/10/2023
» The luxury bodycare and aroma products all boast very traditional Thai scents like jasmine and lemongrass, but the flagship store they sit in is fashioned like a futuristic science lab -- with circular fluorescent haloes and an awe-inspiring line of glass columns filled with perfume.

Beauty runs deep
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 27/09/2019
» 'The key thing about anything here is that if you kept it for 100 years from now, it will be twice as beautiful," Alexander Lamont says of his decorative objects, before adding with a laugh, "I know it's not exactly a great way to sell stuff, but it's true. There is nothing that's made from the world today that could say the same."

The sensation of all senses
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 07/09/2018
» 'Do you like The Beatles?" is one of the first questions Maribel asks me during our consultation before the treatment starts. "Well, even if you don't, you don't have a choice. You'll just have to listen to it anyway," she quips.

Feeling all right
B Magazine, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 26/08/2018
» There is a stillness -- borderline boring -- to Scrubb's chosen mode of visual expression. The constant of stony faces and stock-still poses that embellishes all of the band's album artwork, editorial photo shoots and magazine covers is bequeathed on us too, as Torpong "Ball" Chantabubpha and Thawatpon "Muay" Wongboonsiri laugh through gritted teeth that it is actually a strain for them to smile for the cameras or to assume the role of a dancing monkey.

A broad canvas
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 07/04/2018
» Not all of us will make our mark as Mona Lisa, but it is possible to be the centre star of an art piece. If you are a self-confessed shutterbug and lover of art, an interactive art exhibition is currently ongoing at Emporium right now under the name Museum of Me (MOME). Inside the pink pastel box, which has just popped up inside their department store, this museum's showcase will not be complete without its main exhibition: you. Get snapped upon entering MOME and get ready to see yourself turned into art works by 10 different artists. The summer museum visit all ends at the museum gift shop, which of course, sells mementos that star you.

Shopping with all your senses
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 30/03/2018
» It feels like there is an Hour Glass store at practically every main street corner in Singapore, but the Hour Glass store that rules them all is situated on Bideford Road, just off Orchard and right next to Paragon. Fashioned under the name Malmaison and having sat at that location since 2011, the opulent enclave of 745m² is largely under the radar to the common pedestrian, despite the fact that what is housed inside could well become your most lush watch-buying experience ever. Even a local tour guide confirms that most Singaporeans are oblivious to the lavish encounter that awaits inside.

Black Panther is stylistic substance
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 19/02/2018
» Having been in a movie black hole of sorts for the past few months, I was completely oblivious to what the movie Black Panther is, when my best friend suggested we go see it. The only thing I knew was that it would be a Marvel movie featuring a cast made up of a majority of African-Americans and Africans. This, of course, is rarer than a blue moon, and was enough to pique my interest. Fine by me. In fact, I would be most intrigued to watch a superhero film where the black guy isn't the sidekick or someone likely to get shot within the first 12 seconds.
