About “Underwater Doll”
August 24, 2011 by 1 Comment
IT WAS grey, rainy and miserable.
We were going to get wet anyway. It was an underwater shoot, after all. But the overcast sky took away the light, and made it freezing cold!
For this month’s photo shoot, we took the plunge.
Into a swimming pool we went, with a gorgeous 16-year-old model Olivia Price, and an ace photographer Vernon Leow.
The theme was Hawaiian – bright, sunny, cheery tropical wear that looks right in our hot climate!
The model sank perfectly. The photographer did not. Someone had to hold him underwater.
It was surreal. Olivia looked like a water nymph, all dream-like with her beautiful red lips and intense gaze.
She kept her eyes steadily open underwater, unblinking. Her hair floated beautifully around her.
It was like a mannequin had sunk to the depths of the pool!
Amazing. Plus it was the most fun we had in a long time!

This is Why We are Not Underwater Models
August 24, 2011 by 1 Comment
HI! WE are Hsiao Ying and Kyra, the girls behind Granny’s Day Out.
We tried to take some nice photos of ourselves, you know. Tried to look like underwater dolls.
Alas. We were no underwater beauties. Instead, we looked like underwater clowns!
So sad. We’d better stick to selling clothes.
Here are a few of the very many things that can go very wrong in an underwater photoshoot.
Enjoy! 🙂

Loretta’s and Mark’s Wedding Escapade
August 2, 2011 by Leave a Comment
MOST SINGAPOREAN couples get their pre-wedding photos done at the Botanic Gardens, and at a certain huge tree with a giant trunk at Sentosa.
We hear the Marina Bay Sands area is now getting quite popular too.
But nothing beats this couple, Loretta and Mark, who decided to take off to Paris and London and do it in style.
As if that wasn’t enough, it couldn’t be any regular shoot. It had to have a vintage theme, because Loretta the bride, a huge vintage fan, didn’t want any regular ole wedding dresses!
She wanted one-of-a-kind vintage wedding dresses with beautiful trains, intricate details, old lace, gorgeous ruffles, pearl buttons, all in various shades of cream.
And to top it all off, Loretta and Mark wanted their very good friends – two other couples, one already married, another soon-to-be-married – to join them on this little adventure!
Wah!!! Cute or not!!!!! 🙂
And yes, they hauled a photographer, make-up artist, and suitcases full of vintage day dresses and vintage wedding lace dresses, to Paris and London, creating their own unique and beautiful memories everywhere.
The girls obviously had fun dressing up their men: They put them in suspenders, plonked hats on their heads, and had them carry baguettes. Cute!
We love these photos! Thanks Loretta Chen, for sending them to us! We think you look splendid in all your vintage dresses! 🙂

About “Notes from a Secretariat”
July 25, 2011 by Leave a Comment
UNLEASH YOUR inner secretary!
This month, Granny’s Day Out takes the secretarial look to a new level: High necks and bows. Hems that hover around the knees. Printed blouses, gathered skirts, quirky prints. Dooney and Bourke leather sling bags.
Plus – a focus on the oft-overlooked and severely underrated brooch!
With a little imagination, a brooch (or two), can be a gal’s best pal.
Pin it anywhere you like – on your collar, or the back of it; on your shirt cuffs – it’s a feminine take on cuff links; in unexpected places – such as your ponytail!
Our model, Linda Lim, is cute, geeky, and perfect for this shoot with her signature thick black-framed glasses.
We think she looks the very antithesis of cool, and so we brought her to Bras Basah complex, which seems also the antithesis of cool!
This mecca for book lovers, artists and musicians seems to have been around forever. And there, we chanced upon an old stationery shop, an unbelievable find overrun with vintage wooden rulers, pencils, and journals yellowed with age.
A hidden gem. Just like us. 🙂
