Fashionable Malaysia

It is Formula 1 Week in Malaysia! That means the city has an excuse to P-A-R-T-Y! A close friend of ours, and her sister, design one of Asia's top fashion lines and she invited us to the Mercedes Benz-Stylo Fashion Gala. The show was held at a "secret location".

The theme for this year's fashion week? One Malaysia - Fashion is Recyclable - Seven Deadly Sins - Art is Fashion, Fashion is Art. I think they could have pared that down a little bit better.

The Queen attended the show and sat two rows in front of us. I guess folding chairs are beneath her Highness (or more accurately, not beneath her). She had a special 'throne' from which she viewed the show.
And guess who else was there - Jimmy Choo! I think he must be the most famous Malaysian of all time. I was well excited to see him.
That's Jimmy on the right and Her Majesty to his right. (I tried to snap a picture of his shoes, but just couldn't get the correct angle.)

The show was a lot of fun.
Our friend struts her stuff on the catwalk!
Then we strutted our stuff on the red carpet at the after party. Take that, Lindsey!
Not wanting the evening to end, we headed to the jazz club No Black Tie where Margie Segers was performing. She can sing!
That's Margie in the middle (supposedly she's 71 if you can believe that) along with friends Duri-Ann and Duri-Andy.

Just as we were about to call it a night (or a morning at this point), we opted for one last stop - Pappa Rich for some post-after party/jazz club eats!

Beautiful!

You have the most amazing adventures! Sam and I are considering chasing down some tumbleweeds for fun:) Not sure if I told you or not, but we're once again employed and now living in the west Texas town of Midland. Talk about culture shock...KL was nothing compared to this!
