Sichuan Earthquake Charity Events in Shanghai
Wed May 14th 2008 by Morgan
Shanghai is reacting in a very Shanghai way to the tragedy of the Sichuan Earthquake -- throwing a bunch of parties. Promoters and venues are putting together events to get the clubbers out putting their drinking money to good use. And what's wrong with that? Hey, you were probably going to get lit up this weekend anyways -- you might as well get lit up for a good cause.
Mural Bar is hosting an assortment of locally-based talent -- Missile Miles, Skinny Babou, and the DJ with the biggest and sexiest heart, DJ Sexy Paul -- this Saturday. They are joined by live Peruvian band "Jingo." Now the cover for that is 50rmb, all of which is going to a charity organization supporting the victims of the earthquake. And you get two free drinks on entry. Also, if you'd like to give more, a donation box will be available to accept your contributions.

No. Further. Text. Now, I would be happy just to leave it at that. You know, maybe give you the particulars, like where and when and move on. But in the spirit of good sensationalism, I wont...
So here's the deal. Friday night at the Shanghai LuWan Gym sees the boys from the world's foremost streetball "crew" showcasing their balling skills. "What is Streetball?" I hear you cry! Well, streetball is like basketball on steroids. Now that doesn't mean that the players are actually on performance enhancing drugs. No, that would be illegal. It does mean that the courts are smaller, the games are faster, the action is more aggressive and the showboating ridiculously outrageous. And I'm not even a basketball fan. In fact, my knowledge of the sport kinda starts and ends with Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes.
But the best thing is you don't even need to believe me. Just check it out for yourself here
The details are as follows: Luwan Stadium at 7.30pm tomorrow (Friday) night. Tickets are 100, 200, 300, 500, 880 and 1280rmb and can be booked two ways: Online at Chinese-language website www.shemgod.com.cn or at the door.

By MelanieThe Picasso Mansion: Flowers and Gallery
On May 9 Jason and Eva's Flower Shop opened on the ground floor of the purple Picasso Mansion on Fuxing Xi Lu. This spacious shop with wood paneled walls and flawless pink roses is a far cry from the hectic, disorganized flower markets on Shaanxi Lu. Florist Hazel is delightfully helpful. With it's pricey bouquets, Jason and Eva's may not be the ideal place to go for your daily floral needs, but is a worth keeping in mind next time you have to bring a gift over to a friend's house.
Climb up the Mansion's spiral staircase to the second floor where you'll find 246 Gallery Space, a brand new spin off the Avshalom art consultancy business. Avshalom usually shows Chinese artists but for the opening show in the mansion brings 25 of Salvador Dali's lesser known lithographs. This show ends May 18. Wed 14

[read on...]The Danes aren't particularly well known for producing top fashion labels. In fact, I would put good money that you couldn't name me two -- let alone five -- fashion brands. However, CPH, a new Danish clothing boutique, is looking to put Danish fashion firmly on the international (well, maybe Shanghai) fashion radar.
This new shop is located in the ever quirky/trendy Taikang Lu and aims to cater to all the stylish and fashionable women of Shanghai, with their in edgy Danish take on contemporary designs.
Not officially open to the public until Sunday, the shop claims to sell clothes with an "attitude and confidence" -- sounds like a pretty moody pair of jeans to me -- and with a manicure bar also being located on site, it appears to be a one-stop shop for all your womanly requirements: clothes and nails.
The shop can be found on 136 Taikang Lu or check out the website here for quick gander at some nice clothes and some rather attractive women.

This is the latter part of that equation. Head on off to the BCR EP Release photos here, and/or the Bonito Spanish restaurant opening here. Thanks to the talented photographers, Kosuke Sato and Sangya Rui, and to YOU, for being so photogenically wasted.

By MelanieAmerican Consulate General: New Digs
In an unlikely location change, the American Consulate General packed up and moved from its lovely walled community on Wulumuqi and Huaihai to set up shop in the 8th floor of the WestGate Shopping Mall on Nanjing Xi Lu. You'll have to sift through the block-long construction to find a mall entrance and the new Consulate is seedy-looking, but efficient.
N.B. The Consulate shuts down on Tuesday afternoons for no apparent reason and they are not taking questions about visa applications...ever.

Even in its simplest forms, poetry has always been for the elite - Mon May 12th
Melanie - With his new-age E.V.A. hanger (pictured after the jump), Korean designer Ha Jihoon addresses the perennial question, "where to toss the coat and keys after work?"
Entrepreneurs and innovation hopefuls have spent decades tackling this conundrum with electronic remotes, fluted coat racks, and the ever-ineffectual closet. Morning after morning we find our coats rumpled on a couch and our keys missing altogether. So maybe this is not the biggest problem the world ever faced, but it's one worth solving.

A displaced Shanghainese family struggling to get by in Australian suburbia - Sun May 11th
Melanie - Leo Tolstoy once said, "Every unhappy family is unhappy in it's own way." In Tony Ayres' Home Song Stories (2007), we are given a family that is unhappy in every conceivable way. The story is Chinese-Australian writer/director Ayres' thinly veiled autobiography -- the writing of which of is his attempt to come to terms his mother Rose's (played by the always dynamic Joan Chen) destructive lifestyle and choices.
