The Fashionality Of Jessica Sanchez

American Idol Season 11 powerhouse, 16-year old Jessica Sanchez have been wowing America and the world with her enormous talent beyond her years. After a near elimination, Jessica still continue to chase her dreams on the show – aside from singing, another thing that I really love about Jessica is her fashion sense! She’s so chic and elegant – this girl can wear anything and pull it off! Maybe we ought to thank this season’s fashion consultant Tommy Hilfiger for really doing a good job!

Let’s look at Jessica during her performances not only impressing us with her singing prowess but also with her mere fashionality!

2012 Binibining Pilipinas Winners – Up Close and Not Too Personal!

So I was actually late at the venue and the male host Xian Lim just announced the winners of some special awards and right after was the announcement of the top 12 semifinalist. It was an easy call because my favorites were all called except for Jaine Hidalgo. I really wonder why? Hmmm. Anyways, I was very satisfied with most of the candidates answers during the Q and A portion with just a couple of ladies faltering in answering their questions – those were Liezl Alcantara who apparently “misheard” the question and Annalie Forbes who really had “an old fashion choking moment” but was allowed to answer beyond the 30 seconds limit. I thought she handled herself well and was still very poised. It was just surprising that she end-up winning 2nd runner-up with Elaine Kay Moll, the tallest candidate hailed as the first runner-up.

I actually predicted the two main winners correctly, that is Nicole Schmitz for Binibining Pilipinas – International and Katrina Dimaranan for Binibining Pilipinas- Tourism but I was in total awe when they annouced Janine Tugonon’s name as the successor for the Miss Universe – Philippines.  I mean, it was a bit expected since there were rumors that the title was already reserved for her but I really thought that crowd’s favorite MJ Lastimosa outshined her all through out the evening who is also a repeater of the pageant.

Anyways, it’s all good though. Janine still has about eight months to prepare for the Miss Universe and I’m hoping that she’ll represent our country as well as the other two in such a way that we could be proud of!

Good luck Ladies!
