Crisis Chic: Bangkok blog takes a humorous look at the city's floods

Tue, 11/01/2011 - 11:37 — Anonymous A new blog is using a bit of
tongue-in-cheek humor to lighten the heavy atmosphere hanging over Bangkok as
the city continues to battle rising waters in some areas. Dubbed Crisis
Chic, the Tumblr blog says "style shouldn't go out the window, just 'cause
water's coming in." Started by two British (Gaby Doman, Becky Wicks) and two
U.S. expatriates (Brock Kuhlman, Joshua Johnson), Crisis Chic features
humorous photos and captions of them in stylish outfits hanging around
flood-hit areas -- often wearing snorkel gear. The captions offer readers
some "valuable" fashion tips.   var OutbrainPermaLink =
