Malaysia Launches MySize
Project
Malaysia is set to become the first predominantly Muslim country to
carry out a national sizing survey with the launch of the MySize project in July.
Organized by The University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, the survey is being
modeled on the Size UK, Size USA, and Size Thailand studies that have been carried out in the past few years.
It aims to scan between 10,000 and 15,000 people between August and December, with researchers visiting all of the country's main
regions.
The survey will use the NX-16 3D Body Scanner from [TC]2 in the US, and the resulting information will form a database of whole body
measurements that represents a cross-section of the population.
This information will then be used to create a national size designation and standard (Malaysian Standard) for the clothing and
other relevant industries.
The team intends to scan a cross-section of the Malaysian population based on gender, ethnicity, geographical location,
socio-economic income, and age (children, teenagers, adults and senior citizens).
The project is a flagship of the University's Center of Research for Computational Sciences and Informatics in Biology,
Bioindustry, Environment, Agriculture and Healthcare (CRYSTAL).

Coquette Reveals What
Happened in Vegas…
What happens in Vegas isn’t staying in Vegas! Coquette International Inc. recently celebrated their 30th anniversary at Lucky Strike Lanes inside the RIO in Las Vegas, during the International Lingerie Show (ILS). The event was absolutely spectacular and a huge hit with Coquette’s customers.
With the attendance of 140 guests for this event, Marcus Horea, VP of Sales and Marketing, says, “The overall consensus was amazing! All the staff at Lucky Strike did an incredible job with the set up, Hors d’oeuvres and were exceptionally accommodating with all of our requests.” This event went from 8:30pm until 12:00am, “Everyone appeared to be having a great time and that was our main focus. People said we should make this an annual event!” Horea proudly added.
Eddie Goldstein, a New York Independent Sales Rep, won $200.00 for being the best bowler of the evening. Coquette also gave away exclusive bowling shirts to everyone at the event with their 30th anniversary logo printed on the back.
Penthouse Pet of the Year 2009 & Rock of Love winner, Taya Parker, made a ‘striking’ appearance at Coquette’s party as well. Parker also signed
autographs in Coquette’s booth at ILS on April 22nd. Along with Parker, Brittany Lee and Anne Riviera attended this event shaking things up in Coquette’s sexiest outfits, complete with bowling shoes and moves you probably wouldn’t see the average bowler attempt.
“It wouldn’t have been such a huge hit without all of our exceptional customers coming out to celebrate 30 years of success together. It is always a pleasure and I look forward to sharing the ongoing success in the future.” Dave George, National Sales Manager of Coquette, says.
Apart from their evening event, Coquette also held a contest at their booth during ILS, offering the winner a trip for two to Hawaii. Brittany Lee announced Casey Lozano, Director of Store Operations at Pricilla’s, Patricia’s/ Directors Inc., the lucky winner of a week long Hawaiian vacation.
