Yes, sorry, it took me so long to have the stocklist updated. It’s really quite a fair bit of everything in the whole house. But its all done now and the good news its, we still have some of our CNY collection available and some jackets and cardigans, if you did not manage to get them during CNY. So while I am consolidating updates to put together in a 2nd email to you (lots of exciting updates), you can start shopping in the meantime!

P.S.: As we are moving, thus, private fitting sessions will be temporarily paused. Our home-shop should be ready by mid-March.

TO ALL BLOGSHOP OWNERS:

I have received unhappy complaints from BAB Facebook fans about them being added as friends by many other blogshops. Please note that you should ONLY add anyone to ur profile only if you know them personally and do not mass add from BAB Facebook page.

• BAB Facebook fans are acquired through BAB own marketing efforts – I have spent time, effort and money through many advertising or marketing channels.
• Most fans have added BAB as their friend or a fan on BAB Facebook page on their own accord – this is the end result of proper advertising/marketing.
• Most BAB Facebook page fans are already BAB member.

Please do have some social networking/business ethics and have the consumer/business owner in mind. Thanks.

Below is an article on social networking etiquette that you may like to read through. Be it you are a business owner or just simply a social network user.

Facebook

• Adding users as friends without proper introductions. If you’re looking to make friends, tell people who you are. Don’t assume they know you — especially if they, well, don’t.
• Abuse application invites and consistently invite friends to participate in vampire games. Many call this spam.
• Abusing group invites. If your friends are interested, they’ll likely join without your “encouragement.” And if they don’t accept, don’t send the group request more than once by asking them to join via email, wall post, or Facebook message.
• Turning your Facebook profile photo into a pitch so that you can gather leads through your Facebook connections. Thanks, but no thanks. Facebook is about real friendships and not about business — at least not to me.
• Using a fake name as your Facebook name. I can’t tell you how many people have added me and their last name is “Com” or “Seo.”? I’m not adding you unless you can be honest about who you are. Once upon a time, Facebook deleted all of the accounts that portrayed people as business entities or things. I wish Facebook would employ the same tactics yet again, because I’m not adding a fake identity as a friend.
• Publicizing a private conversation on a wall post. In case it isn’t obvious, Facebook wall posts are completely public to all your friends (unless you tweak your privacy settings). Private matters should be handled privately: via email or even in Facebook private messages.
• Tagging individuals in unflattering pictures that may end up costing your friends their jobs. Avoid the unnecessary commentary also, especially on your childhood pictures that portray your tagged friends as chubby and not so popular. Further, if your friends request to be untagged, don’t make a stink of it…..

• My World My Blog 2 (青涩部落格), Epsiode 2 – Sarah A La Mode (莎拉的新衣)
• Channel U, 31 Dec 2009, 9.30pm

Here’s a synopsis:

Since young, the 21-year-old Sarah has been a subject of constant ridicule from people around her, mocking her with unkind names like fat, overweight and obese.

To cope with her loneliness, depression and emotional setbacks, she gorges on food. With her low self-esteem, Sarah never goes shopping for her own clothes. She makes do with the plus sized clothing bought by her busy, career-minded mother. Sarah’s ultimate desire is to possess a slim, curvaceous body like many of today’s young fashionable girls, so she goes on diet and tries various slimming programs. But, none of these are successful.

A group of plus sized ladies she meets inspire her. They “shape up” her perspective. Sarah’s perception about her body changes, so does her life. She starts to like her body, dresses up herself and lives a healthy and positive life.
