Miss California USA "I Believe" Public Service Announcement

I Believe in the Diversity of California Too!

Here is the just-released Public Service Announcement/PSA featuring several past Miss Teen USA, Miss USA, Miss California USA and Miss Universe title holders expressing how much they "Believe". I think its fantastic and I give all of them a big Nick "Go On Girls!" high five--albeit a fashionable high five, thank you very much!Former Miss Universe, Brook Lee, in NIKOLAKI silk dress at "Speed Racer" Premiere

I was excited to see Brook Lee, Miss Universe 1997 (and recent model for the NO H8 Campaign) and Meagan Tandy, Miss California 2007, featured in this PSA. And I can proudly say, both have worn my designs and therefore consider them two of my favorite NIKOLAKI muses!

Black n' White!!

Black n' White is a timeless, classic color combination. You will never go wrong w/ black and white outfit in every occasion. But how to differentiate your black and white ensemble from others' depends on your personal taste n' the ability to pull off the right look.

Friends And Family Event!!

Ha...so it's not Saks FF 25% off sale, it is just our friends and family fun time at Six flag last Sat.

I have informed that quite a few girl friends of mine are conceived w/ their second, or even 3rd child. Most of them are giving birth next year 2010 which is the year of OX. In Chinese, the year of Tiger 2011 is not preferred to having a girl. In the wedding, the bridesmaid can't be "Tiger" among the twelve animals, if she were, the bride would hardly to be conceived w/ children in the future. That might just be a superstition but most Asia people seem to avoid such thing.

This was my ODJ on Sat. That cowboy hat became my staple look of Six Flag Marine World ever since I bought it there.


These 3 kids are so cute and I must take pic. for them when we all ride along. It was the birthday of the boy to the very left and whoever came to his party receive a "TRANSFORMER's shirt". My son just look at their shirt with envy!! haha...



My youngest daughter is quite an adventurer and we almost ride everything twice. I can feel she is a little scared since she always grab my arm but that just couldn't possibly stop her from riding those rides over and over again. I think she is quite like me -- a hard core player. haha...


The most attractive man is family man!!! Look at that 3 handsome Dads.....Father's Day is just around the corner!!!


Irene is pregnant w/ her second child. Congratulations!!!


Kitty, her son and Irene's son.


It's great to have friends come along so we have extra hands to ride w/ different rides and save us so much time.


We are going back to Taipei on 5/24 and hopefully my little daughter's eczema will be cured in the tropical weather.

E.L.F.

Hello my lovelies, I am finally back after my two and a half weeks of YouTube/blog/twitter hiatus. I spent a week in Moscow helping my mother move house, hence no Internet, and a week on holiday in Dubai (pics coming soon), which was absolutely amazing. However, I did have withdrawal pains and missed you all very much.

Unfortunately I have not been able to catch up properly on videos as my computer has decided to finally die on me and has become completely mute. Hopefully I will be getting a new one soon! I really want a MacPro, but am scared that I will be even worse at using it than I am with my sony vaio.. though I am not sure if it is possible for me to be more computer illiterate than I am.. hehe.

Anyway, on to the good stuff. Please be sure to watch the video below where I talk about my collaboration with oxfordjasmine and sirvinya on the brand spanking new elfcosmeticsUK channel.


They are having a channel launch giveaway, so if you subscribe to elfcosmeticsUK (and why not, it is after all free) you will get a chance to win an e.l.f. mineral eyeshadow. How lovely is that!! Just leave a comment below this video for your chance to win:


Hope you are all having a lovely week. I will try and get lots of videos and blogposts done this week, including a review coming up soon on a super cute and innovative product ideal for travelling and the girl on the go :).
