Abercrombie & Fitch opens in Singapore

So, normally, a new A&F store opening wouldn’t be much news for The Randy Report, EXCEPT there’s a video!

Check out the 40 shirtless “greeters” who showed up to announce the opening of the new A&F flagship store in Singapore.

According to the Straits Times: Employed by retail brand Abercrombie & Fitch, about 40 of these male models stood in a straight line flashing smiles and striking poses outside the yet-to-open flagship store in Singapore’s premier shopping district.

Among the 40 models, about five were sourced locally.

Responses from the ground were tepid at first this morning, with many onlookers taking pictures from afar. But, curiosity soon overtook the passers-by, and within half an hour, the men were swarmed.

Tangerine Tango – Pantone color of 2012

Pantone has announced that “Tangerine Tango” (a slightly reddish orange color) is THE color for 2012.

Each year the Pantone Color Institute forecasts the color for the year ahead and the due diligence is intense. Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Institute who spearheads the project, notes Pantone experts scour the world and consider what’s percolating in every possible industry.

So, what’s the verdict? Like? Dislike? Can you see yourself in “Tangerine Tango?”

Now, I would have learned so much more science if it had been explained to me like this.

“Perhaps by then, we will be able to afford the luxury of just sitting in an audience with no other purpose than to witness the human form in motion.”
