Grendel Alvarado, Philippines’ Next Top Model Joins Binibining Pilipinas 2011!

Posted on January 22, 2011 | 1 comment

Grendel Alvarado, the first and only (so far) winner of the Philippines’ Top Model franchise has join the biggest beauty pageant in the the country, the Binibining Pilipinas (Miss Philippines) in search for this year’s delegates to International competitions such as the Miss Universe and the Miss International.

Grendel’s editorial spread in Preview Magazine.

Apparently, this lass from Bacolod is still young enough to meet the pageant’s age requirement which is 25 . During the Top Model search in 2007, Grendel was already 22 years old which make her 25 around this time. Sure, there’ll be no problem on her catwalk and fierce look but the girl is too editorial in our opinion to make it in the Miss Universe if ever she’ll make it pass the Binibining Pilipinas screening.

(apparently, the organizer accepted her application despite being 26 as we speak thus her only chance to compete is at the Miss Universe Pageant which age limit is 27)

Still, we’d like to make a fierce wish of luck to our homegirl!!! WerK it!

It is also interesting to note that fellow Philippines’ Next Top Model Contestant Jenilyn Olivar also went for the screening.

New Mexico native Andre Condit is fast becoming the new boytoy of fashion with his naughty eyes and sexy smile, one can’t simply ignore this 21 year old Spanish/French eyecandy who’s now in New York booking more jobs since he was featured in models.com.

He is now under Ford Models (thank gawd)

His polaroids kinda reminds us of Robert Pattinson mixed with the genes of Michael Bergin.

Philippines’ Next Top Model Cycle 2 Petition!

Posted on November 25, 2010 | 17 comments

Earlier this year, our wishes were almost granted when ETC by Solar Entertainment was promoting their line up of shows with the inclusion of the Cycle 2 of the Philippines’ Next Top Model but we were disappointed once again because we never saw a glimpse of a cycle to come after the said plug. It was even rumored that it will be shown after the second season of the Philippine version of Project Runway but to no avail.

It’s been like three years since the first cycle of the Philippines’ version of Next Top Model was aired in the local television and our yearning for another cycle is still very much alive! A lot of speculation over the showing of the next cycle had been discussed over the net through forums and blogs by Filipino Top Model fans who believed that the support for this show is considerable enough for the local TV stations to produce it.

So to help our cause and make the Local TV hear our support to pressure them to produce the Philippines’ Next Top Model Cycle 2, we launch a petition in Facebook, hoping that this very powerful social networking could actually help resurrect this show.

Let’s all Unite for this FIERCE cause!

CLICK PICTURE TO GO TO THE PETITION LINK.

Calling TV 5, Studio 23 and ETC!!!

PLEASE SPREAD THE COMMUNITY.
