What is the difference between the bikini and the sarong?
Find out this Thursday at the opening party for RMA Institute’s “Farewell to the Sarong” photo exhibition.
Kicking off with a party on Thursday night at 6:30pm, this exhibition will feature the works of photographer Teddy Spha Palasthira.

While an exhibition on Asia’s traditional female costumes – the sarong, the sari, the panung, the chongsam, the ao dai – may sound a bit conservative, this exhibition pays homage to their timeless, seductive sex appeal.
“SEX is fleeting, a one at a time event. It is nature’s quick way of reproducing the human race,” says the press release for the show. “SEX APPEAL is forever, like a beautiful flower, that creates the desire to pick, to smell, to love, a thing of beauty forever. Like the sarong that wraps a women’s body, to admire and to desire. To unwrap and to reveal. To pick and smell.”

The exhibition, however, is not forever, so if you can’t make the party, be sure and check out the exhibition before it ends on November 11th. And don’t forget your sarong!
