English High-Tea @ The Vanilla Place

One fine day, I saw this place while I passes by; this is not the first time I visited this place. I was there for a few times but I never tried dining there. Normally, I am there for their Oreo Cheese cake which is quite different from the others. Highly recommended, although slightly pricey.

So, on a fine Saturday, my housemate and I decided to enjoy our high-tea there as they did have a special promotion. The English high-tea for two cost us RM39.90 ++.

The delicacies taste normal and nothing to shout about but we do like the presentation.

Collecting Starbucks Bearista Bears

Who doesn’t love an adorable little collectible Starbucks Bearista Bear?  I recently fell in love with the Via Bearista Bear, produced by Starbucks for Japan, and it inspired me to create a blog post.  I wanted to provide some background information on the little bears, and realized that I knew very little.  A quick Google search produced well-known blogger John Moore’s website, Brand Autopsy. John Moore, a marketing expert, spent many years working for Starbucks at the corporate headquarters in marketing, and thus is known to often write about Starbucks.

According to Mr. Moore’s website, the Bearista Bears were first introduced into the stores in 1997, when Starbucks saw sales of tumblers, mugs, and other coffee-related items slipping.  The idea apparently came from a marketing executive who previously had worked for Disney.  For eleven years, Starbucks sold Bearista Bears, until 2008, when Howard Schultz returned as CEO.  At that time, he deemed them too far removed from the coffee heritage of Starbucks, and gave Bearista Bears the ax.

There is still a frequent cry from customers that they want their lovable collectible Bearista Bears to return to the stores.  With the lovable plush Bearista Bears gone missing from the stores, customers onMyStarbucksIdea.com created threads like this one here:

Bring back the ‘real’ bearista bears

In 2009, Starbucks sold a little tiny bear, far less plush than the previous incarnations of the Bearista Bears.  The scrawny, under-sized 2009 bear was dubbed the “recession bear”.  I wish I had bought one to show off here! If anyone has an image they can share with me, I’d be most appreciative.

The Bearista Bear featured in the main photo, sitting atop the La Marzocco espresso machine, lives permanently at 1912 Pike Place.  He was a gift to the store from the famous customer Noboru Sakamoto.

What are your thoughts on the Bearista Bears? Should they come back to the stores or should Starbucks simply avoid selling plush toys at a coffeehouse?

Rilakkuma Nail Design

Rilakkuma mysteriously appears in the female office worker Kaoru's apartment one day. He is a soft toy bear who has apparently decided to take up residence there. On his back is a zipper which when opened reveals a light blue polka dot patterned material. The reason for the zipper on his back is unknown.

He was first seen in a series of picture books called Rilakkuma Seikatsu produced by San-X but since has become equally popular as a soft-toy character. In the picture books, he is often seen dressed up in a variety of costumes such as a kappa costume. In addition, it is implied that even in his usual appearance, his entire lower body is a costume, which he will often replace when it gets old or dirty (Rilakkuma is frequently seen sitting around waiting for suits that look exactly like him to dry on the clothes line). However, it is not clear whether his head is also part of his costume.

His favorite foods are dango, pancakes, omurice, and custard pudding. True to his name, he enjoys relaxing and his favorite things include sleeping, lying around, watching television, listening to music and soaking in hot springs. He loves using Kaoru's yellow bean bag pillow, although there has been some controversy whether or not the yellow bean bag pillow is in fact Kiiroitori. Despite some confusion that often occurs relating to Rilakkuma and his friend Korilakkuma's genders, it is stated on the San-X site that he is in fact a male, while Korilakkuma is indeed female.

It's time for pedicure and out of a sudden this idea came into my mind. I asked them to draw me a Rilakuma design instead and I am loving it.

See, it was cute right?

It's ready

Photo Shoot by CM Photography

Just in recent last Sunday, for 3 years myself & Ming did not seen each other since the last photo shoot we did some 3 years ago. And this time on this particular day we happened to get contacted.

On that day itself, we paired up again for another photo shoot. I would like to thank Karena for her help in doing the make-up for me.
