Montana Cox’ Milan Fashion Week Shows Update!

Can you actually believe Montana debuting in Milan (a very tough market) and walk for these high-fashion shows??? I do. She was my winner from the very beginning of the Cycle 7 of Australia’s Next Top Model  and I knew from then on that she’d have great success with that amazing beauty!

After news erupted that the reigning Australia’s Next Top Model Montana Cox was signed by IMG in Paris and Milan, everyone jumped off their seat waiting for shows where Montana will have her debut either in Milan or Paris. But lo and behold! Montana appeared during the Jo No Fui show in Milan and got everyone congratulating her for this amazing debut and just after that she booked a blue chip show ETRO walking along side world’s top supermodels!

2012 Grammy Awards Best Dressed!

My internet connection was giving me headache and almost gave up with this year’s  Best Dressed list but I figured that I cannot ignore these beautiful women who showed up beautifully and all dressed up like winners. (sad though because the day before the Grammys – Feb. 11, the legend, the voice, the music icon WHITNEY HOUSTON left us – such a shame really but the show must go on and so our list)
 Wow. I am totally inlove with Guiliana Rancic tonight. This simple little black dress with matching black and gold heels are just a–mazing!

Heiress Paris Hilton in Basil Soda. She maybe irrelevant but she sure looked oh so fine!

Carrie Underwood in Gomez-Garcia. This is a fine number, even with the sparkle I still find it a bit subdued but nevertheless one of the best of the night 🙂

Ann V *speechless* oh, is that a dress? Lucky Maroon 5 guy!

I honestly have no idea why Kate’s here but she’s totally rocking this look! *salivating* and I’m not complaining at all!

Now, this is Adele in perfect elegance wearing Giorgio Armani! Her divine face could pull off anything. Oh, by the way – Congrats for sweeping the all your nominations! Well deserved mama!

Fergie’s wearing this sheer lace gown from the Jean Paul Gaultier couture collection! Fergie never looked this good!

I just totally love what Rihanna was rocking last night! This Giorgio Armani dress totally gave this girl gone bad a super slick-elegant look! I love you RiRi and you know that!

Katy Perry is wearing this dreamy Elie Saab Couture gown. It was the perfect post-divorce look. Mama Kitty working it big time!!!

◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊

 I’m not really a big fan of  T.Swift’s fashion sense but she totally blew me away with this Zuhair Murad number! The East-inspired dress is perfection with its dragon embroidery making Swift, oh well – The Ultimate Best Dressed Of The Night!

Mis Cosas Foldable Weekenders – Something Huge In A Small Package!

 The Mis Cosas Team came up with a foldable weekender because they saw the need of people having more compact and useful items in their day-to-day living. This January, they have release their newest product – the Mis Cosas Foldable Weekenders which caters to people who are always on the go but have very little space in their home. This particular product is being sold through their website: http://miscosasonline.com or through their multiply site: http://miscosas888.multiply.com.

Weekender Bags are usually very large and very hard to store. However, each and every individual at one point in their life, find a need for it. It may be that weekend getaway, or a 3-day/2-night retreat or as simple as a 3-hour gym workout. Now, Mis Cosas has came up with a perfect solution by offering the market a huge bag that folds into a 7 x 9” pouch for easy storage.

 Truly, this bag comes in a small package but when unfolded, a 19 x 6 x 16″ ( L x W x H) bag unfolds. It is also easy to carry with a 11” handle drop which allows you to carry it comfortably over your shoulders. For more storage, the bag also features 2 outer pockets with zippers and 1 inner pocket with zipper which allows you to keep small items such as car keys or hair ties. This bag also comes in a waterproof nylon material which is the same material that as the waterproof Mis Cosas Crayon Carry Alls that was released last year. This simply means that aside from the fact that it is waterproof, it also can carry very heavy load.

 To cater to the different tastes and preferences of the market, it comes in 8 different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray and pink. For those among you who worry about the bag being dirty, don’t fret because the materials is washable. You can just wash it everytime you feel that it’s not in its best condition anymore.

Each bag is being sold at PHP 1,200 at the Mis Cosas Website (http://miscosasonline.com) or through the Mis Cosas Multiply site (http://miscosas888.multiply.com). For more information or orders, you can also contact the Mis Cosas Team directly through their email address (miscosas888@gmail.com).

Is “Made In Brazil” Too Hot For Fashion?

Brazilians are one of the most beautiful people in the world! [FACT1] That I have to agree since we have Giselle, Adriana, Alessandra and a lot of today’s so-called Supermodels hailing from this South American Paradise! [FACT 2]

Issue #1: Evandro & The Boys Of Brazil

With that being said, it is not only the female Brazilian models making waves in the fashion industry but also their male counterparts. With these demi-gods of beauty sprouting like mushrooms in Brazzziww, the oh-so sexy magazine Made In Brazilwas conceived.

Issue #2: Sports

Now on its 4th edition since its inception last year, Made in Brazil has become the new Playgirl with taste and the new Vogue Homme that is uber-sexualized.. (oh that’s just me, shoot me now! lol)

Issue #3: Fame With Marlon Teixeira On The Cover

Issue #3: Fame / Diego Fragoso Cover

We all know that the main selling point of the magazine are not the clothing and whatever pieces of accessories that the models had on. It is the models themselves that make this venture a very lucrative one – on a limited basis even! Pure genius if I may say! Almost naked Zeus-like guys that lured us into buying and anticipating each and every edition to be more daring and provocative than the last one.

Issue #4: Shining

Is it too much? Do you think they’re showing  too much skin for art’s sake or is it really for art’s sake? I’m not asking these question to create a debate on the sexualization of the society or about stuff being art and some scholarly bs stuff – I just thought that by posing these questions, I maybe trying to ask if its still fashion-able or should even be considered fashion (because most of the guys in the magazines are actually working models) or is it mere stunts to produce this type of magazine simply to generate income where fashion has become irrelevant but is being used nonetheless.

Battle Of The Titans At The Binibining Pilipinas 2012!

Each year, girls from all over the country flocks in Araneta Center, Cubao to submit their application to the most prestigious and oldest national beauty pageant in the Philippines  headed by Mrs. Stella Marquez de Araneta, the Binibining Pilipinas. All of these girls are hoping to be part of the official candidates of this pageant that send girls to international pageants such as Miss Universe, Miss International and Miss World (until in 2011 when the Miss World Organization decided to grant its franchise to another pageant director that conceived the first Miss World-Philippines Beauty Pageant )

After the great success of Venus Raj and Shamcey Supsup from the past two edition of the Miss Universe – where both placed as 4th runner-up and 3rd runner-up in 2010 and 2011 respectively, pageant pundits are more than ever eager to see the girls that will follow their footsteps.

Some of the girls rumored to join this year’s edition are ABS-CBN talent and Channel V VJ Megan Young, Hotel singer and model, Ali Forbes, TV5’s Arci Munoz and the two runners-up from last year, Janine Tugonon and  MJ Lastimosa – both hoping to do a Dianne Necio this year.

This year is expected to surpass last year’s edition and the battle for the two grand slam crowns (Universe and International) is said to be a bloody one come finals night. Each camp managing some of the girls who are said to be joining are secretly watching each other’s back to measure the caliber of the girls that they will be fielding for the screening.

If you think that you’ve got the guts and the goods to take over the Universe and the International beauty arena – the screening is extended until February 7, 2012. Will this year live to its hype? Let’s wait and see….
