In a few days, something extremely exciting will be a happening in the local fashion scene. Together with two of the most talented designers in the Philippines, Randy Ortiz and Rhett Eala, I will be having a FACE OFF of sorts! The show will be held at the CCP and the music will be provided by the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra!
I will be giving you more information soon, but in the meantime, I am sending you a layout of the show. This is something to really look forward to!
HUGS!
RAJO!
It was the opening night of I-LAND at the CCP last night. For those of you wanting a taste of HawaiIan culture, this is the show to see! I found myself gyrating my hips and doing the hula after the show.
The show is all about the life of Keo Woolford. He is the star of this one man show. It showcases his journey from a troubled past, all the way to HULA enlightenment.
I was so happy that my friends came to see opening night! We all had a fantastic time! A big bonus is the fact that we had the chance to see more of the art that decorated the lobby of the little theater at the CCP. We all were in love with the space and we all kept on imagining different events that could take place there. I, for one, would want to have a fun party with a great DJ! LOL!
I am in love with this mural! I think it is by Arturo Luz? It's so graphically beautiful!
The most fashionable TRIO that evening! Junie, Nix and Robby!
Kitty, Angellette and Malu strike a pose!
Malu, Anton and Mela grace the evening!
Leah Puyat flanks the Tarp!
BFF'S! Leah and Junie
The best PR man in town, Keren, with Robby.
The gang's all here!
One of my personal icons, Gilda! I love her aura!
All the way from NYC! Trystan being sandwiched by his gorgeous cousins Vicky and Liz! Thank you for coming!
Keo with the lovely ladies! Ms. Tantoco, Mrs. Luz and Ms. Lopez!
Keo rocking the ladies! WOO HOO!
I encourage all of you to see the show. It’s something different and it opens your mind to a culture that seems so similar, but is really quite different. The show will be ongoing till this Sunday, January 25. The proceeds of the show will be benefiting the scholarship program of the Asian Cultural Council. Do call the CCP and catch I-LAND!
See you soon!
HUGS!
RAJO!
I would like to introduce you to my niece ALIX! She in one KOOKY KID and I love every inch of her! She brings so much joy to everyone she meets, and she is just adorable! What I love most about my niece is that she has her own mind and she speaks it without hesitation!
She is also very, very, very smart, and often I do not think that she is 3 years old! It’s as if there is this 25 year-old trapped inside her tiny body. She is one of those girls that makes an indelible impression the moment you meet her! She is really a fantastic child and I just wanted to share this to all of you! LOL! Have a great weekend and please….please…please..
There is going to be a lot of Hula going on! LOL! Something really unique and exciting is going to happen at the CCP on January 22 all the way to the 25th! We’re bringing the HULA back!
As some of you know, I am on the board of the Asian Cultural Council Philippines. It is a council whose prime responsibility is to find funding for Filipino Artists to get international grants, thus further enhancing and enriching our local art scene. Our first major project for the year is I-LAND! A one-man show by Mr. Keo Woolford! He is a certified hottie and a really great artist. GOOGLE HIM! LOL! He has done leading roles in West end, London opposite Ms, Elaine Paige in “The King and I” (Keo plays the king)!
The Chairman of ACCP Mr. Ernest Escaler, our ACCP president Mrs. Maribel Ongpin, our Star performer Keo Woolford and CCP president Mr. Nes Jardin.
The play is semi-autobiographical and is a combination of many disciplines, dance, song, poetry. I for one am very excited for the show as I am always into art, culture, half-naked men! LOL! I ask everyone who will be reading this entry to go and see I-LAND, I guarantee that you will have a fantastic time! Call the CCP for more information! You may also email me Rajolaurel@gmail.com ! LOL! Help us improve the artist landscape in the Philippines! See you at the show! Gala night is on Jan 22 and the theme is Grass skirts….JOKE!
I am going to use "The Secret" to have abs like Keo! LOL!
This move is going to by my next dance step in Embassy!
Hula is sooooooo interesting! Each gesture has meaning. Ano kaya ang ibig sabihin nito?
See you there!
HUGS!
RAJO!
In honor of Aids day I decided to go and watch the Live AIDS show in UP Dliman. It’s the 25th year anniversary of this benefit show and I was really happy I went. The show was AMAZING! It was really really really funny!
I was surprised to hear that none of the performers were professional. A lot of “Showbiz” talent were actually discovered in past Live AIDS shows. Major talents like Giselle Sanchez, Tuesday Vargas, RS Francisco were all Alumni of the Live AIDS show.
This was one of my favorite performers that evening! He reminded me of a young Roderick Paulate!
RS Francisco as Citronella Centinella the first ever UP student!
RS Francisco and her Amigas! (the "lady" on the right is fashion stylist Shahani! LOVES IT!)
Tuesday Vargas doing her monologue as a super fast runner.
Samascom's pride and joy Ms. Giselle Sanchez.
There were so many parts of the show that left me in stiches! The show only had a few days run, hence the super packed UP main theater. I think that it’s important to realize that AIDS is a very important issue and that the fight for AIDS must continue. This battle can be won through EDUCATION, INFORMATION and AWARENESS!
See you soon!
HUGS!
