I'd just like to ask where you can buy a plain black waistcoat at an affordable price? I saw one during the summer but I don't think they have it any more.
Gotta Get Waisted, Mid-Levels
The Dictator rules: And I'd just like to tell you: EVERYWHERE! The cheapest we saw was at Giordano, in black cotton for only HK$220 (if you can't find one of the shops, check out locations at
www.giordano.com.hk). If you'll pay a little more, many brands have them for less than HK$1,000. Armani Exchange (shop 101, Pacific Place, Admiralty, tel: 2537 3118) does a sexy little one open at the back for HK$650. Mi-Tu (shop K-2A, 1/F, Queensway Plaza, 93 Queensway, Admiralty, tel: 3518 9751) goes long and glam with a sequined version, also available in silver for HK$645. Zara (shop 121, Pacific Place, Admiralty, tel: 2918 1099) has several options, including wool (HK$499) and cropped and collarless (HK$319). Covered in bronze-coloured studs, JDC's offering has a heavy-metal twist (HK$658; G/F, 10 D'Aguilar Street, Central, tel: 2526 6816). For a different and versatile take on the look, check out Initial's black waistcoat with a detachable tailcoat (HK$3,890; G1, Queensway Plaza, 93 Queensway, Admiralty, tel: 2442 1373).
I'm about to go on a long-haul flight and since I'll be up there with nothing to do for so long, I thought I'd give my skin a mini spa treatment, using an extra moisturising face mask to avoid getting dried out. What do you recommend?
Masked Wonder, Central
The Dictator: Um, first of all, what are you talking about? There are lots of things to do on a long flight. Sleeping is a good start (and it's great for the skin too). And don't forget, whatever cosmetics containers you take onboard must have a capacity of no more than 100ml - even if they're partially empty.
With that in mind, one of the best is the 60ml Sisley's Express Flower Gel (discounted at Sasa to only HK$495; shop 1, G/F, Manley House, 86 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2730 6768; see
www.sasa.com for more locations), which goes on for 10 minutes and can be rinsed off or simply wiped off at your seat should turbulence strike.
