House of '90 - Another MJ t-shirt!

LOL! I DID IT AGAIN!

What is wrong with me? The teen in me has been working overtime this past month (I guess it's becuz I've been hanging out with of bunch of teenagers & MJ fanatics... totally rubbed off some of the magic (insanity) on me...

Not that I mind. LOL. I'm just having a good time, reliving my teenage years... The best years of my life...)

So, okay, as you may well know, there have been an Ebda3ati expo called 'I LOVE Business' this past weekend. I was one of the lucky 'survivors' that got there before the great extreme rush & before the ground was no were to be seen. (God! it was like hajj or smth! Like, all the young kuwaitis were suddenly cramped up in one place!!! LOL)

click on pictures for full view

I managed to scan, browse, taste, & rummage through the endless goodies of the endless businesses there. There were so many similar businesses, like sweet makers in every little corner, all selling chocolate sweets & cupcakes. I swear at one point, I was like, is there anything else? (We Kuwaitis, are really moody & temperamental. Every now & then we get hooked on something, then toss it over once we squeezed the hell out f it & get hooked on another newer addiction. In the past we got hooked on designer expos. Now, home made food & sweets are taking over it seems).

Anyways, let me get back to the main topic, the MJ t-shirt! hee hee

So, as I was roaming the place, I couldn't help but get the feeling that maybe I'm gonna find someone selling some MJ stuff. & I wasnt disappointed! Just as I was about to leave the expo, I went to the last booth which was right next to the entrance. It was for 'House of 90'. The pink colored walls & black balloons were an instant attraction, & the smiling faces of Noura Zaidan, Nazha Khoursheed, & Nourah, the three young ladies behind 'House of '90' were welcoming.

I went inside & my heart nearly dropped to my stomach as my eyes fell on some MJ pins! I was like woah! It's about time I found someone selling some MJ goodies! hee hee

Nourah, one of the 'House of '90' trio smiled & wondered If I liked MJ, & I was like, yea-ha! Why would I get excited & say its about time I found someone selling some MJ stuff if I didn't like him? She grinned & took me to the t-shirts section.

They were selling MJ t-shirts as well!

I liked them both but I liked the white one more so I took that one. (It doesn't really scream MJ-Crazy-Fan!!! like he black one lol.)

I gladly clutched on their sliver bag with "house of '90" written in hot pink on it. My lovely MJ t-shirt was carefully & neatly folded in hot pink wrapping. I loved that so much. Very smart & trendy.

THE COOLEST MJ TOP FROM 'NEXT'!!!

Calling out all MJ fans out there!! 'NEXT' is selling the prettiest & coolest MJ top I've ever seen!

I've been doing some shopping recently & I went to 'NEXT' & just after a few seconds from entering the shop my heart nearly plunged to my stomach.

Is that an MJ top I'm seeing??? @@!!! OMG!

My eyes weren't deceiving me!

click on the pics for full size

It was love at first sight! I fell in love instantly! I never thought I would actually get an MJ t-shirt!! But this was sooooo different than any other MJ t-shirt I've stumbled upon. This one is "wearable"!!!

Made of 96% Viscose, 4% Elastane; The Black Foil Icon Top easily slips on & feels so soft. Really roomy & comfortable. Plus, the style of the piece is what makes it stand out of all regular/standard t-shirts. This one is classy & chic.

Its extra length makes it perfect for any girl who doesn't like to wear tiny tops (that would reveal more than hide, & would feel so bad when matched with low waist jeanes or skirts (unless you have the perfect body...). This top will looks good with jeans or leggings.

To see how the Icon Top looks on the body, visit the special product page here.

This top has officially been added to my precious 'little' MJ collection! I really never thought I'd buy an MJ T-Shirt, but that was sooooo good!!! I loved its quality. It was really nice! & I can so wear it! its not like most regular t-shirts that are so casual. this one is glamorous! I really can see myself wearing this for a lot of places & occasions.

And unlike most MJ t-shirts I've seen, this one does not (in my opinion) really scream "I'M A CRAZY MICHAEL JACKSON FAN! STAY AWAY HATERS!" It's pretty cool & wearable, even if you're not a fan. I like wearing t-shirts/tops with pictures & portraits (usually of of models not celebs) on them, but this one is far much prettier than the ones I already have! I mean, it doest feel like a standard fan t-shirt!!!

Take a look at the glitter they used in the details, highlighting the socks & jacket MJ is wearing in his famous Billie Jean outfit.

(& notice the hair!!! So vivid! You can totally see the little strands of hair! I so loved that!)

a zoom in at one of the socks...

I'm not really keen on the glitter they used. I think it might look better is if they used tiny sequin instead of glitter, or if they used a better quality of glitter. They really did a good job with the outfit replication, but it would've been great if they added the upper arm band & the GLOVE!!! It's soo missing! Not to mention the original jacket being black & not silver.

But I it looks good still.

The shop assistants at 'NEXT' were more that nice to let me take some pictures to show you guys :D

So thnx to Sheila, Jgoti, Dhel & the rest of the girls at 'NEXT' Mishref! :D

Now, HURRY UP to 'NEXT' to get your special tribute MJ top before they run out!!!
