KIMMY DORA!

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

There is this movie that I really really want to see! It’s called KIMMY DORA! From the trailer alone, I was left in stitches! I am a HUGE, as in, LARGER THAN LIFE FAN of Ms. Eugene Domingo. I think she is one of the most talented individuals in the Philippine entertainment landscape. I have seen her do comedy, drama and even in plays (Do not ask me when! I will reveal  my age!)

Anyway….I first saw the trailer of KIMMY DORA in Cinemalaya and I was caught by the UGE craze! (Uge is what she is called by close friends! NAKS!) I just have to share this with you all because I am now TEXT mates with her! I am so majorly thrilled! TEE HEE! My cousin Franco introduced me to her, and now Eugene and I are text mates!

This is one of my favorite scenes in the movie.... "I am just a girl floating in front of a boy asking him to LLLLove her!" That is going to be a classic!

Do all yourselves a  FAVOR …GO & WATCH KIMMY DORA!  I know it’s going to be a GIGANTIC SUCCESS…That is my fearless forecast!  See you at the movies!

VALENTINO!

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

When I received my invitation from ZEE magazine for the VALENTINO movie, I literally shook with delight! I mean, VALENTINO is a fashion god! I LOVE VALENTINO! I have all his books. I even have a very special limited edition book that he signed!

Valentino is a legend!

I heard about this movie several months ago and I even saw a preview of it on the Internet. I even ordered the movie from Amazon, but it will be arriving in late September. So you can imagine my happiness when I got the invite! I arrived at around 6:30 pm and the energy of the crowd was so strong! The crowd was really a power house of the Philippine fashion landscape. We were all there!

 The crowd was a power cast of the fashion elite of the country like National Artist for fashion Pitoy Moreno ( I love the fact that Tito Pitoy is everywhere from the Lady Gaga concert to the Valentino premiere, I would not be surprised if I end up seeing him at establishment with a cocktail in hand! LOL!) and the President GMA's fave fashion designer Ito Curata.

The Shangri-La hotel staff was busy giving out PINK champagne and at 7pm on the dot, the movie started. From start to finish, I was mesmerized! The movie really gave all of us an intimate perspective of the life of Valentino.  The movie follows the life of Valentino for almost 2 years, leading up to his FABULOUS 45th anniversary party! Trust me when I say that there will never ever be a party like the Anniversary party of Valentino!

 I had to steal some shots from the movie!  Sorry if this is illegal I just want to share!  LOL!

For me, it was also a story about love! The complex relationship Valentino and his partner Giometti.  Even if I felt like going to the bathroom to pee, I held it! LOL! As I really did not want to miss a thing! I did not want the movie to end! I left the movie so inspired with a high! This is the reason why I love fashion. I do hope that all of you fashion lovers get to see it because there will never be a fashion movie quite like Valentino …The Last Emperor.

HUGS!

Oscars Extravaganza!

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

My mind right now is racing with about a thousand positive adjectives….I just came from one amazing photo exhibit!  As a tribute to the upcoming Academy Awards (on Feb. 22 and will be shown on Velvet TV on the 23rd at like 9 am), the country’s finest photographers and stylists joined forces to create an homage to the greatest films ever made! I was left with the chills, as the images were just mind blowing!  The whole evening was just FANTASTIC!  It was everything I loved….Film, Photography, Fashion!  I wish that they could extend the exhibit longer as I know it was for one night only.  I know that you will really enjoy these pictures!

 This iconic image is obviously from the movie the Godfather.  What is absolutely amazing is that the guy in the photo is non other than DIETHER OCAMPO!  OMG!  This blew me away!  This photo was shot by Paolo Pineda and styled by Bea Constantino.

This photo was inspired by the film Million dollar Baby.  This photo was styled by Franco Saycon and shot by Milo Sogueco.  What I love about this image is the movement that it captured even if its quite violent there is a sensual elegance in its composition.

 This photo was one of my favorites!  Its an homage to the movie the Duchess.  What I loved about this image is that its not a literal take on the movie but a stylish interpretation.  Karylle plays the lead role in the photo and I love her soulful gaze.  This was shot by Noelle Hernandez and expertly styled by Rex Atienza.

Edward Scissor hands is one of my all time favorite movies!  I was so moved when I saw the photo of Niccolo Cosme and Stylist Lotho.  They really transformed Christian Bautista into the character.  It was incredible down to the minute detail.
