THE YOUNG, HIP AND HAPPENING CROWD WAS INVITED TO DATO BERNARD CHANDRAN'S AFTER PARTY AT HIS NEW STREETGEAR BOUTIQUE CALLED AREA 27 AT FAHRENHEIT 88 ON THE SIDE ROAD FACING STARHILL GALLERY.

I WENT THERE LATE AS I WAS PARTYING AT ZEBRA SQUARE AND DOWNING KRONENBOURG 1664 BY THE LITRES SINCE IT WAS FREE. NICELY SLOSHED, I TAXIED TO AREA 27 WHERE THE PARTY WAS IN FULL SWING JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT.

Area 27 is the new brainchild (he has 5 real children de) of Dato Bernard Chandran and is stocked with limited edition Adidas, Nikes and the likes. Everything is super cool and sizzling hot if you know what I mean. The shoes are really out of this world and the clothes are also uber-trendy but still affordable if you consider RM 800 to RM 1,000 affordable.

There are no couture gowns here as you will have to go to his flagship store inside Fahrenheit 88 on the first floor.

There are 20 creations hanging and dangling in Area 27 designed by 20 local designers or those in the trade. I like Monica Lee's t-shirt with her real hair the most! There was a fridge where we could help ourselves to soft drinks while alcoholic drinks were on the table.

I saw a lavatory bowl next to the changing room but it was openair so the whole world could see me pee and my tricky dicky but since Area 27 is so cutting edge, I thought this was the new trend. So I unzipped and was about to pull out my lan chiau when the guard stopped me! He said this loo was for washing hands only and mind you, one has to bend to wash hands!

So i strode inside the doorway only to be told this was a changing room and not the loo. I had to climb 3 flights of steps in my high heels to pee and wee!

The next time you are in Area 27, pull up the flap of cloth covering the window mannequin as underneath is the drawing of 2 penises! One cock on the left thigh and one cock on the right! I love it!

This mannequin in the window looks innocent enough and the towel with 27 on it signifies Area 27

Lift up the flap and you see two big cocks! Exact same size as mine! How did Dato Bernard Chandran know that?

You can hardly see the shoes on the ladder rungs due to the decorations but they sure are there! Dato Bernard Chandran even accused me of stealing his birds when he saw I had several tiny birds amid my feathers but his birds are life-sized owls! Fancy accusing me of theft!
