Miss Malaysia, Deborah Henry As Miss Universe 2011?

Posted on August 28, 2011 | 1 comment

It’s time for Miss Universe Fever once again and pageant fans all over the world are in oblivion on choosing who deserves to be named the queen of the universe. The 60th edition of the pageant will be staged this year at the beautiful São Paulo, Brazil.

One of those who first arrived in the country was Malaysia’s delegate Deborah Henry. Prior to the contestants’ arrival in Brazil, I’ve my thoughts on who can actually win the crown and I’ve this feeling that an Asian could actually win this year having such powerhouse beauties like Miss China’s Luo Zilin and Miss Philippines, Shamcey Supsup.

Malaysia has never produced a winner nor a runner-up at the Miss Universe pageant. The only time the country had a placement was during the 1970 Miss Universe when Josephine Lena Wong was first called a semi-finalist at that year’s edition.

Will Deborah finally get this one for Malaysia?

Let’s all find out on September 12 to see if Deborah has the Universe waiting for her reign!

Miss Venezuela Universe 2011 Vanessa Goncalvez – Another Marelisa Or Not?

Posted on August 28, 2011 | 1 comment

After the disappointing performance of Marelisa Gibson last year at the 59th Edition of the Miss Universe, Can Vanessa redeem her country and place (and perhaps win) in this year’s pageant? After a back to back win for Venezuela in 2008 and 2009, the country failed to place into the top 15 last year, the first time since 2006 and it’s only the 23rd time that the country failed to be part of the semi-finals. There is a very high expectation for this Venezuelan beauty who competed as Miss Miranda at last year’s Miss Venezuela for a right to represent the country in the Miss Universe. Vanessa is a dentist by profession and is considered by many to be a strong contender for this year’s crown.

 Looking at the pictures below, can she crack the semifinals this year or will she be another Marelisa Gibson? ( peace out, I don’t have anything against Miss Gibson )

Posted on August 27, 2011 | 1 comment

I have been following Shamcey’s every  move closely and I’m glad that she’s showing consistency this early in the competition. I’m hoping she’ll continue this until the preliminaries up to the finals once selected as one of the semi-finalists! This photo is one of the official photoshoots that she did with Miss Universe official photographer Fadil Berisha. She’s wearing a carnival-inspired two-piece dress doing the samba!

Go Shamcey!

Posted on August 18, 2011 | Leave a comment

Everyone came together for the first time to celebrate the movers and shakers within the industry from designers, stylist, fashion editors, show organizers and models at the first Philippine Fashion Ball. And with this event, it means that everbody came with their most fashionable do! So who topped our list for the “Best Dressed Of The Ball?” For this edition of Best Dressed, I’ve chosen eight stunning ladies whom I think are the fairest of the night.

8.

Bianca Gonzales – I love how simple this Russel Villafuerte dress is and how elegant it turned out with all the bangles that served as its only noticeable accessories. Bianca can never do wrong.

7.

Bianca Valerio in Joel Escobar – Bianca’s a fashion enthusiast and a TV personality / Make-Up Artist / Motivational speakers etc… and she just look stunningly beautiful in this creation!

6.

Sanya Smith – For those of you who still don’t know, Sanya is the second daughter of the Philippine Rock Icon Pepe Smith. She’s a model and a VJ and in this Kermit Tesoro‘s creation, you know that she’s rocking it!

5.

Rissa Mananquil is a model and former President of  Professional Models Association Of  The Philippines (PMAP) from 2003-2008.  She really knows how to work it, she have this translucent beauty that I just love about her!

4.

Actress Ann Curtis was wearing this revealing Rajo Laurel black dress which complimented her gorgeous features. What a goddess really.

3.

Janna Tee I know nothing about Janna Tee. I haven’t seen her in person and I read that she’s actually a model. A beautiful one indeed wearing this grecian-inspired dress.

2.

Apples Aberin was also a model and a former president of PMAP. She was a judge at the first and second season of Project Runway Philippines and will comeback again for the upcoming season 3 of the show. She is wearing the creation of her fellow Project Runway judge, Rajo Laurel. Doesn’t she look exceptional?

and the Best Dressed is…

Tweetie De Leon-Gonzales -Tweetie was a former actress and former president of PMAP. She still model and is the host in the upcoming season of Project Runway Philippines. She’s wearing a Rhett Eala creation that brings out her  beauty to high heavens!

I wish I could fly to New York now to witness the Alexander McQueen:Savage Beauty Exhibition but since I can’t – I’ll just satisfy myself with all the images from the net. EK. It sucks,really. Lee is one of my favorite designers and now that he’s gone, I feel that I need to really see this one!!!!

The Exhibit started last May and will run until August 7, 2011. If I could magically teleport or  become a “Jumper,” I’d definitely go right there at this very moment! I’m not sure why the Metropolitan Museum of Art isn’t extending it to coincide with the Fashion Week. I guess I’ll just wait until I get the chance to intern with Sarah Burton – haha.

Best

Emma Watson is in a chich Marchesa dress that totally complimented her short do. Emma can do no wrong tbh. With that being said, she’s our Ultimate Best Dressed for this year’s ceremony!

Emma Stone looked stunningly perfect when she arrived wearing a lace dress and a satin pumps! Her look’s an Easy A! 

Elle Fanning was in a Dolce and Gabbana Floral romper with matching floral wedge sandals! Cutie little Elle is giving sister Dakota a run for her money!

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

Worst

Amanda Bynes was wearing a Herve Leger Bandage dress a a Christian Loubotin’s Change of the Guard sandals. We’re  not really loving it. It kinda look “snooki-ish.”

Lil Mama wearing a Sherri Hill corset dress with this very high boots. It feels so 2000 and late.

Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld was in a Louis Vuitton tuxedo and we’re just not buying it this time. It’s risky and she knows it didn’t work. Sorry baby girl. We still love you.

There fashion people…give us your take!
