I Kept My Promise!

I completed the entry I mentioned in my last post! However, this one is picture-heavy so this will be posted in the morning by my dear Editrix, Isha. I’m posting snapshots of my weekend in an effort to be less wordy. I’m too wordy. That’s why the posts I write about the events I attend or organize never make it to the uploading stage. I’m sorry. I’m still a greenhorn at this blogging biz. Big thanks to everyone who made it to Style Bible’s Designer Deluxe event last Saturday! I wish I’d invited more of you over, but it was perfect as it was. Thanks especially to the ones who shopped KT! I hope you enjoy your purchases

Snapshots of The Weekend That Was

Internationally-renowned artist Manuel Ocampo and his daughter Yulla who wears a KT necklace. Yulla is a real daddy’s girl! The KT Muses drop by: Janthina Fong and ‘hairess’ Nica Mendez who wears a clever skirt given to her by her boyfriend. Thoughtful really is the new sexy! Mes amies, the ‘French Mafiettes’ Caroline, Sarah, and Liza came to visit too. I had them try these cute headpieces from Mich Dulce, who happened to be at the booth next to mine. Style and romance: Too-cute fashion couple Daryl Chang and Mano Lotho (image model for Rajo’s new W line for Wharton) caught having a sweet moment. I discover that Mano is actually related to our flamboyant stylist friend Lotho Lotho! My friends Juddha and Earl dropped by during dinner break at UCC and gave me a present! I did the clothes for their recent wedding in Jerusalem. My new assistant David wearing a vest that he designed and crafted himself. What KT Wore: I bumped into fellow designer Tippi Ocampo just before closing time and I bought this cute belt-cum-headpiece from her Pret-a-Party line. I just bought this cute dress from Tita Lulu Tan-Gan’s booth, too. Instant outfit change, thanks to my versatile Leg Love footless tights in black. (Yes, contrary to popular belief I do wear black stuff!) Having an eyeshadow moment before we leave for Cubao. David says I carry too much makeup in my bag! I have trouble choosing between palettes so I bring a lot with me. As soon as we arrive in Cubao X, this man invites me, Denise and Wiji to help him show off his abs to the ladies. (Strange but amusing things always happen in that place.) Team KT alumna, graphic artist Nice Buenaventura-Alvero by the artworks displayed at Heima Store’s LOVE:2010 Exhibit. Featured artists are Zeus Bascon, Mica Cabildo, Kat Medina and Tof Zapanta, whose limited edition canvas prints used Heima’s choice of colors. A copy of Ang Alamat ng Panget and Many Others by Apol Sta. Maria. Note to self: Grab a copy. The display at Heima Store plus instructions. I really love that store. Looking forward to the opening of their new branch at LRI Plaza, N. Garcia St., Makati in a few weeks! Outside was the rip-rockin’ 2nd Anniversary of Mei Bastes‘ MEIDAY, MEIDAY Night! You can count on Mei to put together the most awesome indie bands – that night, Itchyworms, Pedicab, Taken By Cars, Ciudad, Us-2 Evil-0, Ang Bandang Shirley, Outerhope (yes, that’s Mike Benedicto in the photo below), and so much more. The woman of the hour: The insane (in a good way!) Mei Bastes (http://www.meiday.tumblr.com). Thank you for having us! For more info on Meiday, here’s a helpful link: http://www.clickthecity.com/music/?p=5480 Two-thirds of the beautiful team behind I LOVE YOU Store, Corinne Ching and Sharon Atillo. They’ve come a long way from the little bedroom above Cafe Saguijo! I’m so proud! ‘Nimal Alert: Former sidekicks/forever friends Sharon & KT! We send a shout-out to another ‘animal’ friend currently cavorting in Peru: Hi, Christie! Trendspotting at I LOVE YOU: Old-skool wristwatches. Check out Corinne and David’s Seikos, plus Marvin’s Casio data watch. Too bad I didn’t wear my grandpa’s Longines that night! Blame Canada: Two ’steezy’ Canadian boys enjoying themselves. Jesse looks like a young Miguel Fabie, don’t you think? Mich, Shawn and Mihk at Sputnik, the collector’s destination for toys and comic books. (http://sputnikcomics.multiply.com/) Young designer Karlo Vicente with his muse Celine Ferros (he designed her outfit AND shoes). Up-and-down photos were necessary. Parting shot: Indie chick and design student Fatz Poblador in a lovely dress by Topshop. And because I haven’t blogged in a while, I give you a bonus: A very succinct KT’s Sights and Sounds Sampler of Cubao X, one of my favorite spots in Manila. (Check out the newest boy band to hit the Cubao pavement somewhere in there!) http://cubaoexpo.multiply.com/

Mondazed,

KT
