circus antics

Supper clubs seem to be making a quiet comeback. The latest to open is Circus London, located smack in the centre of Covent Garden. Despite mixed reviews on the Southern-style food, the boudoir-meets-space-ship interiors by Tom Dixon and performances by contortionists with nipple tassles will take your mind off the 20 pound cocktails you’ll likely be sipping. Either way we’re intrigued by the concept and the candy slickness of the decor and identity.
Circus London 27-29 Endell Street, Covent Garden, London

crashing monocle

Last night we Whitespace team crashed Monocle’s launch party at Lane Crawford in Pacific Place. Hong Kong is lucky to be one of the 3 cities (along with London and Los Angeles) to have the seasonal Monocle’s shop in town.

If you happened to miss out the good-looking crowd, free-flowing champagnes, Monocle x Comme des Garcons scents and the jazzy live band last night, check out the shop before May 23 and grab the latest issue 33 for Hong Kong: A Monocle City Survey!

i killed my mother. J’ai tue ma mere.

“I bet most people believe that hating your mother is a sin. They are hypocrites. They’ve also hated their mothers. Maybe for a second, for a year. Maybe no longer, maybe they forgot, but… they all have.”

We love her that we’d kill anyone who hurt our mother. We hate her that we aren’t meant to have a mother. This is one of the most fascinating movies I watched during HKIFF 2010 - I killed my mother by Xavier Dolan.
