FETE DELA MUSIQUE

It all started with a very bad Mexican dinner. But then that will have to wait till another post. Writing a long discourse about that. At least, that dinner was saved by good conversation amongst friends AND the grace that is alcohol.

Heres Pao dressing for his drink. I dont think I know anyone else who does that.

Obviously, beer makes us happy.
L-R: Mich, Karen, Pao, Rayms.

Bumped into other friends, B,

Marita breathing fire, and Issy back from NY!

The End.

GIRLY NIGHT OUT

My girlies and I, we were all single three years ago. We'd hit the clubs, NOT to meet boys but to drink and dance. We loved dancing to bits. And then Marits got with Kiko, Issy married Edvard and then I met the boyf. When Issy said she wanted a big night out without the partners, I said:hell yeah! I haven't gone clubbing in ages!! But then as with all plans, by the end of the day, we were all tired and instead of being in a smoky and crowded place with loud thumping music, we all voted to have a quiet dinner and a girly catch up instead. This was fun. But when schedule frees up, Issy, I still want to go clubbing. Haha.

Issy's new cavernous penthouse.

Marits (Marita Ganse, leather and fur designer now turned model) and Issy (Melissa Dizon of Eairth). They were drinking wine, I was drinking juice. Chakaroach.

Issy cooked us this huge Shepherds Pie. I always eat healthy when I'm at her place. I miss you already Iss. And baby Jupiter.

Rock chic with ripped denim cut offs, booties, a belt with metal hardware and a plain black tee. The metallic waistcoat gives it that spot of glam and shine.

Slashed tee. Check. Acid wash jeans. Check. Embellished footwear. Check. A+ for this one!

IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE

Imagine magazine will always have a place in my heart. And at the party for its third issue, Cubao X saw the collective style powers of all contributing stylists, photographers, hair/makeup artists and the usual fashion denizens.

Didnt get his name but he rocks the blonde hair!! The slouchy jacket and anti-fit trousers are hot too! (Photo by Myrrh Lao To)

Xtina can practically wear anything and get away with it because she is just so enviously model thin. If i wore those PVC leggings, I'd just look ridiculously fat, but on her it looks, WOW. (Photo by Myrrh Lao To)
