Mr Sugar Daddy, Kowloon Tong station could be the centre of your love life. Although you probably no longer use the MTR (you’ve got chauffeurs instead), everything you need to carry out your affair with that hot young thing is just around the corner. The ‘love hotels’, like the Romantic, will maintain your anonymity (read: cover your car with blue and white striped plastic in their parking lot) and allow you to conduct your romance by the hour. Should your mistress be the gold digging type – and let’s face it, love you or not, she probably is – Festival Walk is a short stroll to where she can have her pick of Vivienne Tam, Ralph Lauren, Coach and agnès b. among many others. And if the liaison takes on a more permanent promise, look no further for wedding planners. Any of a myriad bridal shops and wedding planners, like Mona Lisa, will give your ‘blushing’ bride-to-be the very lavish wedding she’s always dreamed of. Once you’ve settled down, in an opulent house typical of this neighbourhood and the kids come along, they’ll go, of course, to Delia School of Canada – right across the street from where mommy and daddy first consummated their relationship. And then, when in a few years they are old enough, they can start the whole romantic – and wealth depleting – process all over again.



The find: Nightmare Before Christmas candy
Original asking price:
$14.9
Where found:
Watsons

Exactly what is your nightmare before Christmas? It’s still so warm in December you can’t wear your leathers? The romantic break-up which means you’ll have to lock yourself in your room and spend Christmas solo? The painful, never-ending Christmas shopping? Well, we can’t help you with the first two, but did give you a hand on the shopping thing in our DIY Christmas special last issue. But if even that was too gruesome to look through, see if this little gift rings some bells for you. No, you’re not wrong – it’s a coffin! A funeral before Christmas, doesn’t sound bad, right? But if your friends really can’t take the joke, tell them it is a, um, pencil case from galaxy Andromeda, perhaps?
