Girl's Best All Time Accessory

A friend of mine have just recently stirred up a storm in town by running for Miss Hong Kong. She is most certainly over-qualified in terms of intelligence and beauty. For those of us who are less up for match with her will have to make do with some touching ups and accessories.
My no-fail, all-time, best accessory?


A good book.

How often do you find a person with a book in their hands nowadays? The mass population is too up-taken by their smart phones and tablets to pick up a book. Not that they need one anyway, with the kindle and reading apps and audio books, why choose the bulky and heavy option? I do own an e-book myself and I found it most convenient. However, I still feel that physical book are always the classy option.

A book tells people you have a character.
Who need those phones? Who needs social media to create a personality for themselves? Girls who holds a book in their hands are simply telling others that they know what they want and they achieve it by themselves. They mean business. No scrolling through random pictures/ articles to pass time. No checking the amount of likes on their last selfie. No participation in internet conversations. "Ain't no time for that, while you're all building up your "social status" online, I am building my brain."

What you read reflects your mind.
A great title not only enriches the mind, it also tells others your interests and profession. I always secretly admire those with books in their hands on the train. I can almost see the halo of intelligence shining on their heads. Knowledgeable and deep are the words to describe.

Anyway, to read or not to read it all depends on the person. I love it, though I too have non-reading days. It's just a lifestyle I choose.
