littleoddforest has been ripped off by Target :(
MY littleoddforest ORIGINAL HANDMADE DESIGN of the Hoot The Owl Sling Purse, which I cam up with in Year 2007 and is and has only been handmade with love, has been COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF & CHEAPLY MASS PRODUCED by TARGET in the United States. Please know that you are only buying quality handmade fabric bags made with lots of love by us, and not very cheaply mass-produced in a factory production assembly line ;(
I hope everyone can respect only original designs and their designers, and NOT SUPPORT COPYCATS, large or small, corporate or indie, because they are all THIEVES.

Thank you so much, Seventeen! And Benita! 
why, oh why, singapore…?
what is “van gogh” doing at this void deck : http://www.razor.tv/site/servlet/segment/main/news/66180.html
“” because… it is NOT van gogh.
i love you, my country, Singapore. but you really can be such a disgrace many times, with regards to the celebration of originality art and design. For generations (and more to come), the children in Singapore are being taught that endorsing ANYTHING famous in ANY WAYS possible, including being “inspired by” (which, come on, let’s be real, is really “COPIED from”) is nothing but good.
Buying a painting? – is the painter famous?
Buying a bag? – is it a famous international brand?
Painting the void deck? – there’s nothing better than using a famous artist’s work.
Singing at the NDP? – the best option would be to plagiarize a commercial hit song.
SO.GOD.DAMN.PROUD.OF.YOU. and very very saddened….
i remember this post i made 2 years ago : http://littleoddforest.wordpress.com/2009/04/02/sick-to-my-stomach/
i’m not sorry to say that i really hope the shop has folded long ago…

Catcha there this Saturday!
Off to being a manic busy bee…. bbbuuzzzz….
sick to my stomach.
isn’t this almost similar to legally producing and selling fake chanels anything and fake patek phillipe watches just so that “not so well-off” people can buy and enjoy them???? what in the world??? gahhhhh! such an atrocity!!!
bringing art to the “heartlanders” ??????
in the very first fucking place, this is exactly WHY the so-called “heartlanders” they are referring to here, will NEVER learn what art is all about! never! in this country that i call my home!
why appreciate the real thing in this or that internationally-acclaimed museum, when you can get a replica and hang in your “humble heartland flat”. why bother supporting talented current artists whose art pieces costs 4-digits and above, when you can get a FAKE van gogh for just lesser than $300 singapore dollars?????

shit!
fuck!
i’m sorry but, i’m beyond sick to my guts.
fyi, this is in today’s straits times papers, life section.
rushing off for an urgent meeting, but just had to spend a few minutes ranting my brains out here.
ciao. bad day. bad day!

for some reason, i was surprised and happy to see the singapore flag
afw 2005
so… our booth at the afw!
you may see the transformation here…

the fair went pretty well for us greenhorns, regardless of the negative publicity of the fair towards the end of the exhibition (that was a real pity). we got to learn and absorb so much, the ton of constructive and positive feedback and responses… it was really incredible! i’m so glad that we didn’t let the cost turn us off when we were first approached to participate in it, and probably because we were the younger participants, many people there were very open to talking to us, telling us more, and advising us about certain things – especially our friendly contractor tai-chi dude, the super nice label guy from taiwan, and many many other ladies we met ^_^
we were also pleasantly surprised with surprise visits from some of our very dear customers, and from lana and gang, david, corina, shan, and lisa (even tho you came when my booth was already totally dismantled) mao! i really appreciate your overseas call… you will be reimbursed! i promise! hee..
it was really weird when i saw the dude that interviewed me like a million times who made lots of strange claims and requests over and over again, when i first came back to singapore from chicago, and that was my first design job interview. he was in the very same pair of pants and shoes he was wearing in all the many days of my interview, and also at the fair, twice, (the color i shan’t mention because then some people in the industry will already know who i’m talking about! :p), since i saw him on 2 different days of the fair… wowee… i’m keeping my thoughts to myself
you were right, lucia, my little things did sell like hotcakes.. i’ll email you detailss of the fair, both you + amy! ^_^
