diary of a gluttonista http://thegluttonista.posterous.com Shoes, sweets, savouries and everything nice! posterous.com Wed, 16 Dec 2009 20:16:00 -0800 It Begins With A Dresscode http://thegluttonista.posterous.com/it-begins-with-a-dresscode http://thegluttonista.posterous.com/it-begins-with-a-dresscode

Glamorous White, Pink Coctail Dresses, Be Creative With Your Sarong, A Variety of Comfortable Yet Stylish Footwear, etc... Those were the words that haunts me pre-boarding a chartered private flight from Jakarta to Bali for days in the sun with P&G, the beauty magnate corporation.

The invitation to attend their 3 days workshop about human genomics, beauty breakthrough, grooming technical advances and sustainabilty came with 4 page brief of timetable and dresscodes. Complete with visual references showing Rihanna in the above mentioned Pink Cocktail Dress and Chanel's Spring Summer 2010 runway images for the Glamorous White part. More than enough to send shivers down my spine, and sweats down my temple.

Since the event is actually produced by my company, I'd have to also act as a host during the event. So the dresscodes became more than merely suggestions, it became duty I must dully obey.

After frenetically unearthing every white and pink items from my wardrobe, I managed to went armed with appropriate outfits for each dresscodes. Essential to avoid disapproving look from the Event Manager and to please my dear bosses.

Despite not having much time in the sun due to the tight workshop n seminars schedules, I managed to still have fun. Delightfully nutty mini carrot cakes, divine breakfasts by the beach, magical twinkling dinner by the pool, super cheap fragrant Nasi Ayam Ibu Oki, hillarious buggy rides at Bvlgari Resort, numerous wagyu beef satays at sunset and a screaming roomate ;D

Not to mention I got my brain filled with glimpses of year 2020. A time when aging will be treated as a form of disease, vaccines to act as beauty treatments, and devices to replace beauty creams..!!!
