APHRODITE

We were so excited, that AC was there at 4, Vince and I were there at 5 and Epoy was there already in the morning setting up because they were one of the major sponsors. Heeh, What's a concert without all your good friends? And ironically, even though we were such nerds beating the traffic and getting there a good 3 hours before the start, we still missed the opening because we were buying beer. Hahahaha. Hoewellz. Not too much of the first part really, just a few minutes prior to this:

Naked guys swimming in a pool. Obviously, Kylie's a gay icon.

But before anything else, rewind to the pre-concert crowd. We had dinner at Cibo, and then went down to the gate to check if was starting on time. Only to find out that most of the Industry was in Adriatico. Kaya pala ang ingay! All the beckys were there.

P.S. I'm so annoyed at how my photos are so uneven! Sorry about that, the cameras new photo size is not compatible with my blog settings hence the reason its all fluctuating. *Cringe* Will fix in my next.

Stylist Pam Q looking ultra hot in a sheer number.

Makeup artist Lala Flores.

Paolo Castro in the first of many shiny, shimmering, glittering sequined outfits worn by fans.

Jujiin echoing the drape sans the shine.

Jake Galvex in Nix Marquez.

Blade runners on AC. They're real too. Chos.

Disco Ball number 2. Pokwang bringing the light of Galadriel. Heeeh.

Okay, atat lang ako to wear my concert shirt. Baket ba! It goes naman with ze outfit. Porchi bought one too while AC and Bincht bought the book--which was sold out by end of the night.

The boys in my life: Bincht (Vince), Doitch (AC), Porchi (Epoy). I have a way of giving my friends pet names.

Gian and Asela

Laureen and more winking shine on Liz.

Vic and Divine

And we were interviewed for Kylie's APhrodite Tour Video. Woooohoooooo!!!
Watch it here in our: 2 seconds of fame.

Last photos before my camera died. Ano buzz.


The End.

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,

Mike, George and Erwan

Sporting too cool frames.

Double trouble! We have the same earrings!



3:00am

Marita breathing fire, and Issy back from NY!

The End.

COUNTDOWN

Yup, its that time of the year again--the time where I try to give up food and crash diet a week before the Preview Ball. It doesn't help that I'm a foodie to the nth. I realized that when I did Master Cleanse and only lasted for three days. In the lull where my mind wasn't preoccupied, i daydreamed about burgers, pasta and steak. Screw willpower, I want my carbs. Heeh. But how am I going to fit in my dreesss??? Waaah.

Here are the schedules, Preview back to back parties, STRICTLY BY INVITATION ONLY:
July 7 (Thursday): TOPSHOP 10th Anniversary
July 8 (Friday) : PREVIEW BEST DRESSED BALL

Which means I won't be eating this for awhile, mushroom and truffles in fresh homemade pasta from Va Bene . Sooooo good.

Or this, shrimp and pumpkin gnochi. Yuuuum.

Maybe I can still have this:

But definitely not this. Sigh.


For those not on a diet and craving for some good Italian:
Va Bene Pasta Deli
Petron Dasmariñas Village
2nd Level
Petron Gasoline Station

EDSA cor. Arnaiz Avenue

FASHION WATCH CLOSING SHOW

Was Ivarluski Aseron and Joey Samson. Thought it was really fitting that their designs ended the Fashion Watch Series. Their collections were both strong and beautiful. The type that made me (and I'm sure a whole lot of other women) want to rush backstage and make pakyaw all the clothes. Sorry that there's only Ivar's here. My cam bat was gasping for air already, and we were suppose to go to another event that night, Lourd De Veyra's book launch in Katipunan. But because it was stormy, wet, flooded and traffic everywhere, we had to turn back. I had to wait it out in the mall, hence my next blog post down there. Anyway, on to the show.

Ivarluski's pieces had statement rear details, like this leather jacket with scrunched up wings.



Some Rick Owens spotting on Kaye Tinga.

Mond, Mike, Carlos

Was happy to bump into Liz, haven't seen her in ages!!! And oh, I have a new haircut. Heeh.

Thats eeet, pansit.

BACK TO SKULL

Aside from the witty pun, Swatch in collaboration with Jerome Lorico is on exhibit at Greenbelt 5. We accidentally stumbled on Jerome brainstorming with Noel Manapat for the next series. This one is the 3rd of 5 installations. Signature Lorico knits on skeletal frames, a bit eerie but a damn cool visual. Wanted to take more images but camera died on me. So I guess this will have to do.
