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!

Best Dressed At The First Philippine Fashion Ball

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!

Dolls On Top: Going ABJD!

Posted on August 18, 2011 | Leave a comment

Okay, so I am now planning to buy my very first ball jointed doll but I’m still researching about them. First thing that I’ve learned about ’em is how expensive they are! haha! So there, first thing I’ve got to do is save! I was actually offered a baby abjd which I think was priced pretty reasonable however, my doll budget was not enough since I’ve to pay something for my school. *cry* too bad. I’m okay with it now since I will have more time to find the right doll for me.

So far, I was thinking of getting a boy abjd. Perhaps it’s because I do not have any boy doll yet or they’re just way too cute to ignore. LOL.

I have checked the ManikaManila Livejournal community and I’ve learned so much about Asian Ball Jointed Dolls and those doll pictures are just way too gorgeous! At the moment, I’ve three dolls in mind from three different websites selling ball jointed dolls.

They are:

Gentle Soori from Iplehouse

I am so inlove with his delicate features and tamed face-up! And the color of his hair reminds me of my hair when I was a college freshy! LOL

Luke Version No.1 from Dream Of Doll

The youthful vibe of Luke is what enchant me the most about him. And his gray eyes. I was told though by someone that If ever I will be ordering a basic doll, I should not expect the same pair of eye because they come in random.Oh well, we’ll see.

And lastly, the super adorable FOF Hucky from Peak Woods

I’m sorry but who could resist this little cutie???
 
So there, these are my options now. They’re pretty expensive but I think they’re worth it. I hope to get one of them before Christmas though! Yay!
