This is Jimmy Choo and I wish to gossip some unknown
facts about him. His real name is Jimmy Chow but his name
was wrongly spelled during his birth registration. He is a Hakka &
was born in Penang, so was Lilian Too and myself! His year of birth
was 1961, so he should be 47 years old only and not 60+ as thought.
Well, we need to patch up our botak areas to look young again.
His name Jimmy Choo - a name that makes all shoe-savvy
women swoon. If used Jimmy Chow - a better name for pedigree
food! Penang is not only famous for laksa but the wildest
troops of monkeys at Botanical Gardens.
So this 'Penang' monkey proudly paraded Jimmy Choo Couture bags!
Maybe this monkey stole from a lady customer, I am not sure. The bag
is very beautiful and petite with matching framed mesh.

In 1996, Tamara Mellon bought 50% of Choo's company where
she along with Choo's niece, Sandra Choi, then launched the
ready-to-wear line. Things went awry and Jimmy Choo has stopped
talking to Tamara and his own niece since. What a waste!
Princess Diana of Wales was a huge fan of Choo's designs and he lost
count of the number of shoes he made and delivered directly to her at
Kensington Palace. Other royalties and Hollywood celebrities flocked
to Jimmy Choo's swanky boutiques worldwide including
Zhang Ziyi (above)
Another range of stylish and comfy shoes has been added.
Suitable to keep warm and cover all your leg hairs, ladies!

I think you're wrong about Jimmy's age. He was born in 1957! Where'd you hear 1961? And where did you hear he was born Chow?
ReplyDeleteWas he really born in 1957? Maybe you are right as he does not look that young. You can check his info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Choo & http://www.fashionvue.com/directory/jimmy-choo.htm Well, may I know where you heard that he was born in 1957?
ReplyDeleteHe looks old!!!
ReplyDeleteWilliam, so many hometown folks also commented his old looking face. So when I found out his age, I was in disbelief. I guess it's his thinning hair that needs fixing up. You seem to have thick generous hair in your pic! Give some to Jimmy!
