Jansport’s Graphic Remix Line

July 24th, 2008 with 77 views

Jansport is practically a household name when it comes to backpacks and if you were a teenager in the late 90’s/early 2000s it’s easy to see why. Everyone in high school used a Jansport backpack to carry their stuff and being a teenager who wanted to be cool like everyone else, I hopped merrily into the Jansport bandwagon - which was actually a pretty smart move. Besides the fact that its classic design will never go out of fashion, I highly recommend this brand because of its durability. I’ve had my eggplant purple Jansport backpack for ten years now and despite having used it all throughout high school and half of college, it’s still as functional and good-looking as the day I bought it.

To celebrate 40 years of being an internationally-renowned cultural phenomenon, Jansport launched a new line of backpacks inspired by the biggest and trendiest counter-culture - the “indie” community. The Jansport Graphic Remix line features pop art and street art that will certainly appeal to every artistic “indie” kid who wants an avenue to be creative and express his/her individuality - without being just like everyone else, of course.

Tokyo Posh Hair Extensions

July 4th, 2008 with 263 views

I’ve been trying to grow out my hair for months, and right now it’s still at that stage where it’s too long to be comfortable but too short for it to be sexy or for me to do anything interesting with it. I’ve been considering hair extensions, but it seems a little sinful to pay five thousand bucks or more for temporary long hair that will fall off after a couple of showers.

Count on the Japanese to give you instant anything! While I was poking around some websites, I discovered a place in Manila where you can get all sorts of crazy hair extensions at an amazingly affordable price. Tokyo Posh Hair Extensions is a hair extension service that allows you to change your hair as frequently as you change your clothes. I’m not sure how it works exactly, but according to the website it’s simply clipped on like a barrette, unlike traditional hair extensions that have to be woven in.

Instant long, straight hair costs around Php 1,800.

Long wavy hair (this is the one that I want) is also Php 1,800.

They also have clip-on ponytails that will pick up your look in just seconds. Long straight and wavy ponytails cost Php 1,350.

Has anyone ever gotten hair extensions from Tokyo Posh? I have no clue as to how realistic the hair extensions look and feel, and how long they’ll last, but I’m definitely going to try it out one of these days. Tokyo Posh Hair Extensions are available at Hair Bytes Salon in Eastwood City, Libis. For more information about the service, visit the Tokyo Posh Multiply site.
