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.

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.

EAIRTH F/W 09

Was at Issy's Eairth studio for a shoot and had a glimpse of her Fall/Winter stuff and of course, this particular piece called out to me, and if you look really, really closely, you can even see my name on it. MINE.

EVERYDAY CONVERSATIONS WITH ISSY

MD: How are you darling?
DC: I'm fine, exhausted though, finally signed to that publication as the new associate fashion editor.
MD: OMG!! Congratulations! We need to celebrate!
DC: Yeah, but you're leaving for Ilocos on the weekend, who am I going to spend Halloween with?
MD: Oh yeah that's right. By the way BIG NEWS of the day.
DC: What? What?
MD: So my agent in L.A. calls me right, she tells me that Hedi Slimane drops by the store to pull out Eairth stuff.
DC: Whaaaaaaaat? (screaming here)
MD: Yeah, he shot the editorial with Lori Goldstein as stylist for LA TIMES MAGAZINE, it's a 12 page cover story called Hollywood. It's the 10 up and coming Hollywood stars.
DC: (Silence) We're still hanging out right? I mean, when Hedi invites you to all the L.A after parties, you are going to be bring me along right?
MD: LOL! Puta ka, if you become some snooty fashion editor, I'm going to kick your ass.

I LOVE ISSY. Come home na. I miss you.
