i didn't take pix of Stella as that would have been really really uncool and unwelcome but here are a couple of the party.

Models in the billiards room wearing a limited-edition T-shirt that's only available in HK.



The lanterns on the rooftop terrace.

Chk, thanks so much for your update. Sounds like you had a very nice time meeting Stella McCartney. The hanging lanterns look so pretty.

Thanks Chk for sharing! Sounds like you had a great time!

My little bro went to Beijing for a business trip and asked me to meet him there, so off I went to see the Forbidden City (for I think the 5th time!) It's one of my favourite places on the planet because no matter how crowded it is, you can always find a quiet place or two. Here are some pix:

Thanks for posting your pics from The Forbidden City Chk. It is very interesting to see pictures taken in China!

Embarrassingly, it seems to be two months or more since I posted a message on the org! Well, I really did travel all over God's green earth this summer and have just returned to HK. I've had a minute to read the concert reviews from this summer (instead of being jealous, I'll just be happy for my fellow and sister Hammerheads.)
Anyway, I kept forgetting to take wristband pix, but did snatch a few. Here they are such as they are.

I forgot to take wristband pix in Poland and Germany, and I didn't take more in Chicago or NY, but I'll post some touristy shots next.

This about sums up Finland for me!


Talk about street teaming. Here's a HIM taxi in Helsinki:
