I’m a hopeless romantic, I like to blame it on the fact that I was born on Valentine’s Day but honestly it’s just my gender. Woman LOVE love. The idea of it, the act of it, and the songs and movies about. It gets us all giddy and weak in the knees and we become non functioning drones that believe we are Belle and are male counter parts are the Beasts. You all know the story…Beautiful sweet girl, bursting with love and effeminacy takes a mean ole man and turn him into a prince. And us women, so gullible and thirsty for love, believe every single bit and apply it to real life. Damn you Disney!

But if a man sees how much I love him, if he sees how much I have to give he will be a good man for me and for us right? Wrong.

Women have the misconceived notion that all the love they have to give is enough to change an unfaithful into a faithful one. That the potency of their “I love you” can move mountains and change mankind. In reality is it moves nothing but possibly a man’s anxiety level.

Society tells us how to get a man, how to make a man marry you, how to get a man to open up, how to give a man the best orgasm, how to cook for a man, how to be the perfect best friend, girlfriend, lover, wife, and mother of his children, and they tell us that all of this will show a man how amazing we are and has the power to change any asshole into a prince.

Women must stop this silly notion that their ‘everlasting love’ can do so, because while a woman’s head is generally influenced by her heart, a man’s heart is always influenced by his head, and not the one on his shoulders. I’m not saying not to trust all men…Just the ones over the age of ten.

Farah Angsana’s Spring 2013 collection introduced an exotic array of fabrics and colors to bring out the Brazilian hawt bitch in all of us.

Inspired by Brazil and the re-invention of life, the collection titled ‘The Glamazon’ was one of the most vivid collections I’ve seen this year, with floral patterns, royal blue, lime green and eccentric orange as some of many colors the designer chose to work with.

The theme of picturesque and vibrant glamour continued with the display of fabrics used to make the cocktail dresses and gowns. Silk wore many of the floral patterns on the cocktail dress, while draping chiffon covered most of the gowns. I was blown away by the pleated evening gowns donned with embellished necklines and the empire waisted gowns with silk trains. Truly a collection meant for an island princess.

I must say the most impressive pieces however were the beaded cocktail dresses which displayed some of the most intricate beading and embellishing I’ve seen this season. The collection definitely told a story. One of discovery, mystery and the blossoming of a woman.

Which must hit home for the designer seeing she’s the only Indonesian fashion designer to receive international recognition for her intricate quality of work and magnificent creations.
