Kenny G - for my NEW phase to GREATNESS!

When my life WAS full of hope and dreams.

In my hopelessness and nightmares, Kenny G comes into my life with his magical instrument 🎺🎼🎷 to lead me out of these. Kenny G saves my life and sanity with his musical masterpiece 😇 His music is a true art work. His personality completes all. I wish Kenny G would have come much earlier. A lot of grief may be relieved. From my positive personal experiences, I believe, most happen for a reason and better late than never. I am also aware of some thoughts. To those who are religious, one may wonder that I am idolising false 'Gods'. However, is it possible that Kenny G may be God sent to me? 

Thank you Kenny G for coming into my life and helping me cope my adversities. Please continue your invaluable gift that you are born for eternity ;-)

Despite my unexpectedly gloomy present yet, I have to put on of whatever remains, into my best presentation. This is to rid negativity and to fully utilise this moment. It is also to absorb as much positive energy and to project optimism simultaneously 😎

I am NOT musically inclined. I am reluctant to attend. However, one person brought me. Reluctantly, I went.

After the concert, I did NOT want to attend the autograph and photo session. I am not a fan. A chain of events change my decision. With Kenny G’s obligation to meeting ALL his fans, all are calm. Surprisingly, I am excited. Then comes the photo fail by the event staff. With no photo, my whole world almost came crumbling down. In my own chaos, I ran up the stage and beg for another opportunity. This caught Kenny G’s attention. With great concern, he asks, “What happened?” The event staff explained the situation. In his humble self, he immediately said, “Sure can!”

Here I am today. Kenny G is now my NEW role model. In turn, Kenny G has got another fan in me. I would like thank you, Kenny G, for this eternal memory.

I would also like to thank my other one person for bringing me to this concert 😇 

I am invaluably grateful for this unexpectedly and eternally inspiring and motivating experience.

Your eternal style has inspired my creativity.

Since concert day, I have been playing your music as soon as my day starts. It gives me motivation and optimism in my present life struggles. You are making a positive difference in my life. TQ Kenny G! Now, I look forward to every 'Morning' xoxo

You are giving me strength and energy to put my 'Heart and Soul' into my passion regardless of any daily adversities. 

My first Christmas 'When Kenny G is Coming to Town' ;-P 

By sharing my experience, I sincerely hope, that lost trouble souls reading this may discover avenues to cope with your life struggles like I do. Even though your journey is still turbulent with unexplained obstacles, you are now steering through with greater determination and confidence to reach your chosen destination ⛴ I will meet you there!

Get a Grip!

My Merit is wearing abnormally internally. This may be due to the shoe design NOT compatible with my feet structure. After one year of searching, I finally selected Skechers GO FLEX Walk. I like this shoe due to it exceptional grip on all urban surfaces yet. On the choice of colour, I choose my favourite blue. These other colours are black and gray. Gray brings out the shoe design. However, I do not want my life to be ‘gray’.  On the other hand, being ‘a little boy blue’, I can have the best of both worlds. In the day, my shoe colour is blue. By night, it looks black at a glance. I will have to admit that it is not as comfortable as Merit. One has to bear in mind that both have different strengths and functions. To date, I am unable to find a shoe with ‘the best of both worlds’ in this aspect. Regardless, presently, I am feeling as happy as when I purchase my Highlander.

The Skechers GO FLEX Walk™ is the shoe that moves with you. Mesh fabric and synthetic upper with articulated, segmented flexible sole design. Designed with Skechers Performance technology and materials specifically for athletic walking. Goga Max® Technology insole with high-rebound cushioning.

I like the Quick-Fit portal ;-P 

Notice the typical groove pattern for exceptional grip? Even Sandy, is not amazed :-O

I am also very motivated by my Skechers. They are one of the main sponsors for this very stylish Mobil 1 Boost Mobile Racing's Commodore of the Australian Supercars Championship 2018. 

Now, I have a grip on the future…!

ALL-time Favourite Jet

GRUMMAN F-14A & D Tomcat.

You will ask me, "Why do you like the Tomcat?". During its service life, it is the MIGHTIEST in its field. Below are its might: 

1)   Highest Speed - It has the highest speed of any carrier borne aircraft at Mach 2.34!

2)   Furthest BVR Missiles - It is the ONLY aircraft to carry the longest Beyond-Visual-Range range air-air missiles, HUGHES AIM-54 Phoenix. It has a range of 160km.

3)   VF-111 Sundowners - This is my most ferocious squadron markings. It boosts my spirits every time I look at it. 

This is the story of, 'Miss Molly'.

“Miss Molly” is named after Navy nurse Molly Snead,a long time nurse/aide to Senator Carl Vinson and his wife. Molly Snead christened the USS Carl Vinson at its launching and commissioning on March 15, 1980. Named after Senator Vinson in recognition of his contributions to the US Navy.

In conclusion, in a one-to-one air combat, I will down you along with the sun!

Ready to bite! 

 Hello Miss Molly! This is the CAG (Commanding Air Group) for this squadron.

VF-111 Sundowners aboard USS Carl Vinson in live action along with their 'friends'.

I will have to admit that these visuals are not to my expectations despite  searching extensively. So, at the time of writing, my favourite operational aircraft goes to this best navy carrier borne aircraft photo...

...the present Boeing F-18C Hornet of CAG VFA-34 'Blue Blasters' aboard USS Carl Vinson. I 'saw' this landing... ;-P Unfortunately, their present deployment will be their last... 😿

Boeing F-18C Hornet of CAG VFA-113 'Stingers' aboard USS Carl Vinson is my second favourite fighter squadron. 

United States Marines Corps VMFA-223 'Red Devils' Boeing F-18C Hornet in my favourite live action video 😃 

 United States Marines Corps VMFA-224 'Bengals' is my favourite OPERATING Boeing F-18C Hornet fighter squadron. 

 Proven survivability, versatility and reliability since the Gulf Wars are my main reasons for my liking 😉

Star Wars Episode VIII - MY Last Jedi

I have the impression the Star Wars franchise has achieve its goals because I am unable to search any official media for my review. I certainly did NOT look forward to this movie when I was given an invite. The force is true. So my review is the same as the last. Enjoy Star Warriors!

Whoopee ahead!

Chinese Lunar New Year of The Dog.

Though I do not pay ANY attention to China singers, something trigger my inspiration in this song, I Believe - JANE ZHANG. In this promising Whoppee Chinese Lunar New Year of the Dog 2018, I believe in me and my gift for all my fashionistas xoxo

Brand Story - About Us

I am a qualified Fashion Designer and aspiring Personal Stylist. I Design and STYle women using the art of illuSIONISTs to enhance their appearance by bringing out their best style. It is from these passion that I came up with the 'DSTYSIONIST' brand name and this website. I am also very keen to share to share my knowledge, favorite womens' style, tips and other related topics with an interested audience. After revealing this on social media and receiving many positive responses, I am able to make this decision confidently. 

 

Besides being my favourite colour, studies also show that blue is the most soothing colour. I continue to aim for the stars even though fashion always come full circle. They are also my newly discovered extra sensory perception. These explain their presence in the logo. 

The woman in the silhouette is my muse, Amanda. She the feature of my first illustration. She is now immortalised here, as the blue sun brightens the fashion scene.  

In anticipating the coming of 2020, I rename it to 'Charles Espckman' in 2019. It is an abbreviation of my name. I strongly believe it will give a better brand identity through a personal connection with my fans. My past influences remain.

Fully Armed Name Cards

As I do NOT have qualifications and experiences in graphic design, I have to learn from mistakes and public feedback. My NEWLY replenished Name Cards have clearer texts. The fifth (5th) and additional tip for name card design will be:

5)    NO overlapping - Ensure that texts do NOT overlap with logos or symbols (if any)

Now, we are fully armed!

WONDER WOMAN - Rise of Feminism

 
Wonder Woman (DIANE PRINCE) has come out at a perfect time ;-)  She is a much needed icon for women in these desperate times of gender inequalities and adversities.

Elegance and mystique. 

In design functions, all are well. Wonder Woman and her Amazonian warriors' costumes have vertical and 'V' shape linear contours. Both give a taller and streamline appearance. These are very functional for some of her bigger build warrior counterparts. The mostly gold colour is suits very well here. It reflects value and superiority. It also camouflages them perfectly in the home island landscape.  

On the whole, I still continue to question superhero costume movie adaptations. They are always far from the original. The original always has more vibrant COLOUR.

The blue ballroom dress that DIANE PRINCE wears at the dance scene is also glamorous and functional. The big 'V' shape chest point drape neckline brings out the best in feminine physique by enhancing strengths and accentuating height. The shin length trail on her rear left shoulder further strengthens this. Unfortunately, I am NOT a fan of ground dragging trails on her right rear hemlines. I do NOT think this is practical >:-( 

On the movie, the scene that moves me the most is when Wonder Woman rises from the battered front line and single 'shieldedly' attack while fending of intense gun fire by enemy soldiers.

"Our generation is becoming so busy trying to prove that women can do what man can do that women are losing their uniqueness. Women are created to do everything a man CANNOT do", quote fits these scenes perfectly.

I believe women are capable of groundbreaking and sky reaching achievements. As a supporter of 'He for She' campaign, I personally write here, "FORGET men's capabilities. Create YOURSELF". 

For men who have faith in women, this movie is a MUST watch in the CINEMA! For women, my review is self explanatory ;-)
