Independent Swiss watch company Oris reaches out to sufferers of prostate cancer by introducing Oris Movember watches with the aim of raising CHF 100,000 (Bt3.3 million) for the Movember Foundation’s charity this autumn.

Oris first worked with Movember in 2017 as part of its vision to bring change for the better and to behave in a socially, economically and ecologically responsible way. Last year, Oris raised CHF 45,000 for the charity, a figure it aims to more than double this year.

Established in Australia in 2003, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas have taken part in Movember across 21 countries and their charity has funded more than 1,200 men’s health projects. Its goal is to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25 per cent by 2030.

“Oris is passionate about bringing change for the better and to improving men’s lives, and we’re delighted to be supporting the inspiring mission of The Movember Foundation,” says Oris chairman Ulrich W Herzog.

The Oris Movember watch is based on the signature-designed Big Crown Pointer Date, an iconic design with its fluted bezel and central pointer date hand. It’s powered by an automatic mechanic movement.

Its stainless steel case is 40mm in diameter with black dial. Oris’s shield logo is engraved on the case back and framed with ‘Oris Movember Edition’ and the Movember Moustache logo. The same logo is heat-stamped into the watch’s brown leather strap at 12 and 6 o’clock. It is presented in a special leather pouch with a second tricolour NATO strap stamped with the Movember Moustache logo on the pin buckle.

“The situation is critical. Not enough is being done to support men as they face up to cancer and mental health issues, and too many men are still dying too young. Movember and growing a Mo is all about building the dialogue and making a difference to men’s health,” said Owen Sharp, chief executive officer of the Movember Foundation.

“We want to secure better futures for men all over the world so that by 2030 the number of men dying prematurely is 25 per cent lower than it is now. We’re deeply inspired by the Oris Movember Crew and can’t wait to work with them on spreading the message and raising funds.’

Victoria’s Secret extravaganza returns to New York

The planet’s top models transformed into angels for Victoria’s Secret glitzy fashion show Thursday, donning wings, barely-there lingerie and plaid for a return to New York after a two-year hiatus.
With the show once again on US soil, sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid strode the runway at Manhattan’s Pier 94 with the likes of Kendall Jenner and Victoria’s Secret newcomer Winnie Harlow.
The runway extravaganza of underwear, paired with sky-high stilettos, gladiator boots and the occasional argyle sock, is now in its 24th year. Taped last Tuesday, it will be broadcast worldwide on December 2.
Sixty models put on an Amazonian display of luscious waving locks, impossibly perfect slender bodies and sun-kissed make-up for what is considered one of the most competitive gigs in the industry.
The “Fantasy Bra” – each year the piece de resistance of the collection – was modelled by Sweden’s Elsa Hosk, a $1 million confection of 2,100 Swarovski diamonds that took 930 hours to make.
In the biggest, most typed fashion show in the world, music was provided this year from a bevvy of stars led by Rita Ora. The show was the culmination of weeks of fittings and instagram-trailed publicity for the brand.
The purpose of the lavish spending is, of course, to sell bras and knickers. Last year, the show was held in Shanghai as the US brand sought to push into China’s growing lingerie market.
The 2018 show was distinctive by a collaboration with London-based designer Mary Katrantzou that showcased psychedelic bodysuits.
Brazilian model Adriana Lima said AFP backstage in hair and make-up that it never gets old despite being her 18th Victoria’s Secret show.
“I really thought that over the years I would get more relaxed and used to it. I get as nervous, as anxious as I have been,” she said.
“We have fun,” added French model Cindy Bruna.
“It’s not about making sacrifices. It’s about working for what you want,” she said. “We’re here today, so it’s worth it.”
The organisers may have banked on New York hosting a smoother show. Last year, Gigi Hadid and singer Katy Perry, who had been due to perform, were reportedly denied visas to enter China.
Model Ming Xi – who walked again Thursday – tripped last year on the catwalk. In 2016, the show was held in Paris. In the past, it has also been held in Los Angeles, Miami and London.

THE LATEST CONCERT BY KOREAN SUPERSTAR BAND “SUPER JUNIOR” CONFIRMS ITS APPEAL IS AS STRONG AS EVER

South Korea’s Super Junior boy band was back in Bangkok last Sunday night, thrilling Thai fans with a superb encore of its “Super Show 7” concert.

The encore came with the special addition of Ryeowook, who missed the original performance early this year because of mandatory military service, and saw many new songs from the band’s latest album being performed.

To thousands of fans inside the packed Impact Challenger Hall 2, the upgraded version of the “Super Junior World Tour Super Show 7” was like a breath of fresh air.

At 5pm sharp, screams reverberated inside the hall as excited fans waited anxiously for the appearance of their favourite artists.

Their screams grew even louder when a clip appeared on giant screens showing a princess-like lady receiving an invitation to a party. Who invited her? The answer, according to the messenger on screen, was that “smart, gentle, precious, sexy, dedicated and well-shaped men would like to meet her”.

Super Junior’s fans, almost all of them females, had no problem relating to the lady, who was pictured walking into the party and discovering a series of black suits inside show cabinets. A second later, seven Super Junior members namely Leeteuk, Heechul, Yesung, Shindong, Eunhyuk, Donghae and Siwon appeared on stage standing inside similar cabinets, attired in black suits, and singing the band’s hit tune “Black Suit”.

The vibrant mood continued with “Scene Stealer” and “Mamacita”, and went up another notch when with “Mamacita” drawing to an end, the stage lights went out briefly to allow the spotlight to shine on the eighth Super Junior member for this concert – Ryeowook. Although he wasn’t able to perform in the original Super Show 7 concert in January as he had yet to complete his compulsory military service, his performance was so spot on that it seemed like he’d never been away.

After performing three songs, the lads officially greeted their fans – known as EverLasting Friends (ELFs) – and tried their best to speak in Thai. Ryeowook, for example, said, “Kid teung phom mai krab? Phom kor kid teung tuk khon na krab” (Do you miss me? I miss you too”). Leetuk wowed the audience with his beautiful “wai” and tried his best to correctly pronounce “Ma sang party hai sanook sanan dee nai krab?” (Isn’t it a good idea to throw a fun party?). But Eunhyuk stole the show by repeatedly playing with fun word, “jakkajee” (“tickle”).

The guys then removed their jackets and delivered a cool rendition of “Shirt”, earning even more screams as their neat white shirts became soaked in sweat.

“Animal” and “It’s You” were up next and drew ear-splitting screams as Super Junior blindfolded themselves as they danced.

The artists then performed two songs from their just-released Latin-style album, –“One More Time” and “Lo Siento”. These special additions to the original Super Show 7 raised the excitement level even further and drew loud applause.

Yesung went solo for “Your Echo” (do we need any preposition here?) then joined his seven pals for “One More Chance”. Ryeowook then took the entire stage for his remarkable rendition of “Little Prince”.

Donghae and Eunhyuk ramped up the tempo with an energetic performance of “Bout You”, “Oppa Oppa”, and “Can You Feel It” complete with the much-loved “Chok Chok” dance.

When all eight members returned next to the stage, they were dressed as schoolboys. They talked to the ELFs one more time, sharing their happiness at having brought the show back to Thailand. Shindong told the audience he particularly liked Impact Challenger Hall 2 because everyone sat at the same level before being summoned by the bell to get back to class. Seated on their desks, they delivered “Runaway” and followed up with “Too Many Beautiful Girls”, waving the band’s official colour-changing light sticks alongside their fans. And when they performed the dance tune “Rokuko”, they thrilled the fans right across the hall by scattering all over the stage to get close up with the audience.

Super Junior then smoothly disappeared and returned in new outfits for “On and On” and “Super Super”.

The screams rose another few decibels as all eight hunks were raised up high on a rotating part of the stage and the grand disco chandelier moved down for the start of “Sorry Sorry”.

From there, it was non-stop thrills as they sang “Mr Simple” with exciting stage effects and Eunhyuk performed a solo break dance. ELFs were already on Cloud Nine by the time Super Junior concluded this dance session with “Bonamana”.

And the concert was far from over, with the eight returning to the stage for “I Do” and hugging each other. The warm feelings continued with “Shining Star” while the ELFs flashed banners reading, “Thank you for being a shining star for us over the past 13 years. ELF promise to be the sky for SJ forever”.

Yesung told fans in Thai that he was so happy to meet them again and Siwon added “Thailand! You’re so special (in English). I will love you forever (In Thai)”. And taking their cue from the ear-splitting cheers that followed Siwon’s speech, Heechul and Eunhyuk jokingly began their messages with “You are so special”.

The large screens again showed the invited lady, this time wondering had (should it be “who had?) who actually invited her to the party as she was just an ordinary girl with music as her only friend. The answer had the ELFs in tears. It turned out that the lady was special because she was an ELF and Super Junior had been with her since she was young.

Super Junior made their debut in 2005 so they really have been part of their fans’ lives for a long time. Like the teens who loved them back then, they have grown-up and are now in their 30s.

The eight members said a musical goodbye to their fans with “Devil” and “Miracle” before taking the centre of stage to bid a proper farewell.

Ryeowook lifted the mood by singing a few lines from the Thai song “Man Kong Pen Kwam Rak” (“It Must Have Been Love”) while Leeteuk made a moving speech about how his band’s love story with ELFs had lasted a long time.

“We may grow older but our love has never changed,” he told the fans.
