Just to Take a Closer Look

Image courtesy of www.myspace.com

After the successful show of this singer last Monday night, one of the actors who was present at the event spotted his former girlfriend standing on stage talking to the DJ. When this actor attempted to go up the stage to take a closer look at his ex-girlfriend, someone suddenly held him back and advised him to be more sensitive to his girlfriend who was standing a few steps away.

Unfortunately, the actor's behavior did not escape the watchful eye of his girlfriend. She felt bad with what she saw but she didn't want to spoil the party so she decided to keep quiet. She only confronted him when they were on their way home but he was already too drunk by then to even pay attention to her.

For her Fall 2012 collection, Vera Wang sent seven black wedding gowns down the runway. Would you ever consider wearing a black wedding gown? 

Thanks to Belo, Albert Martinez is looking good at 50!

 

Albert Martinez maintains his appearance by frequently visiting the Belo Medical Clinic for some of his favorite anti-aging treatments such as Ulthera, a non-invasive facelift procedure and Mesohair, a treatment that prevents hair-loss, a very common problem of men his age. According to him, his favorite body treatment is Sculptor Plus.

The Sculptor Plus treatment is a breakthrough non-invasive technology for body shaping. It helps contour the body by selectively heating the fat cells underneath the skin, causing them to secrete liquid fat and shrink in size. The heating also increases the blood circulation in the area, accelerating metabolism that physically helps the lymphatic system dispose of the fatty acids naturally. Moreover, this treatment also works to tighten and firm up the skin, as well as improve the appearance of cellulite.

This actor told a radio anchor that he and his female co-star have been dating each other for more than a year now. He also told him that he is so in love with her and he thinks that she is the girl that he will marry some day.

On a separate occasion, the actress burst into tears while laughter hysterically when the radio anchor told her about this. After regaining her composure, she told him that she and the actor are just BFF (Best Friends Forever) because they share many things in common including their penchant for cosmetics. She also disclosed to him that the actor was just portraying the role of a real life drama that the network has written for him.

Letter From a Reader: 7 Reasons Why I think M is the Father of K's Baby

Image courtesy of www.allromanceebooks.com

Dear Fashion PULIS,

M has been crying for days because J refuses to speak with him. She doesn't even want to fly to the US to support his upcoming fight. M also spoke to composer L and begged him to claim the child. L disagreed and he said his wife would not want him to do that. Actor P was willing but who would believe him? The television network upon learning that the baptismal photos were going to be released in the tabloid, instructed the girl K to come out in showbiz oriented talk show to deliver that script that was given to her.

Here are the reasons why I think M is the father of K's baby:

1. The boy's name is King something. M has been known to loves names of royalty. His two daughters are Princess something and Queen something.
2. If the baby daddy was is M's assistant, how come he did not tell his wife that he was going to be the godfather that day? 
3. The day of the baptism was scheduled on the day when the AIs were guesting on his show. He moved the taping schedule just to accommodate the baptism.
4. The composer L and actor P both very close to M stood as godfathers too. 
5. If the baby's father were in Dubai, how come she could not identify him?
6. K's changed her profile photo on Facebook several times. At first it was her solo picture then she changed it to a guy who had his arm around her. Now it's a guy who's kissing her. The guy in photo is her former boyfriend (as she claims). Why would she post the picture of her ex-boyfriend? If he were her present boyfriend, then why wasn't he invited to the baptism?
7.  The baptism had a total of less than ten guests. Why keep the guest list a secret?

I did my own research because I refused to believe what the media have been feeding. I encourage your avid readers to do the same and share their points of views as well. Thank you very much for posting my letter.

Yours truly,

Cris

Who Designed the Outfit that Lady Gaga Wore on Her Album Cover?

Nicola Formichetti credited two Filipino designers for the outfit that Lady Gaga wore on her Mary the Night album cover. According to a source, this particular piece was created solely by Leeroy New, a sculptor and Kermit's collaborator in a fashion show in 2010.

The big question now is who really created this outfit? Was it Leeroy New? Was it Kermit Tesoro? Or was it a collaboration between the two designers?

It's Cheap!

Some newspaper editors met up with the road manager of this actress to discuss the feature story that they will be doing on the actress. In the said meeting, they agreed that the editors will have the freedom to choose the outfits and accessories for the shoot.

A few days before the scheduled pictorial, the actress asked her road manager to check on the outfits that she will be wearing. She freaked out when she found out that this certain department store will be sponsoring the clothes for the shoot. She immediately instructed her road manager to inform the editors that she refused to wear clothes from this cheap department store. She also had the pictorial rescheduled and demanded that they look for another clothes sponsor.

Letter from a Reader: Goodbye to Your Down Payment

Image courtesy of www.simplyinvesting.com

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I would like to share with you an experience that I had with this menswear designer. I have been following you since day one when you posted the Puey Quiniones Scandal. Initilaly, I did not want to share this with anyone but I heard that this designer has other victims as well. So let this letter be a warning to all future clients of this designer.

I fell in love with his work when I attended one of his fashion shows so I met up with him and asked him to design me a suit for my cousin's wedding. He seemed nice and pleasant. After designing the suit, he discussed the materials with me, took my measurements, and asked for a down payment.

After that meeting, I never heard from him again. I kept calling and sending him SMS messages for weeks, but he never replied. He only got in touch with me through SMS message a few days before my cousin's wedding asking me when I am free for fitting. I told him that the wedding will take place in a few days and since he was not replying to my messages, I decided to buy a suit instead. I also texted him if he can return the down payment to me but he never replied ever again.

A few weeks ago I met up with my cousin who works for a magazine and she laughed at me when I shared this story with her. Apparently this designer is known for that. She told me that when one of the brands commissioned him to do some accessories for the show, he never delivered the items. She also mention horrible stories of clients from the province who gave him eighty five thousand for the down payment and never got the suits that they ordered. The family members asked him to return the money and he asked then if could pay in installment. My cousin and her friends from the fashion industry found it very ironic because he was able to shop in Prada abroad and even stage a fashion show overseas.

It is so sad that it is hard to trust people nowadays. I hope you can share my story with your readers so that they will not have the same experience. Thank you very much and more power to Fashion PULIS.

Sincerly yours
T.M.T.

Spotted: Got a Bit Drunk at the Party

Remember the story last week about this actor who got a bit drunk at the party and became too friendly with everyone including his two former girlfriends? A Fashion PULIS reader sent these two photos of him taken at the said party. 

Spotted: Taking a Smoke Break

This actress has repeatedly denied that she is a smoker to protect her image. I guess this picture of her holding a lit cigarette speaks for itself. Can you identify who she is based on this blurred photo?

Just About Fifty Grand

Image courtesy of www.playcandynyny.wordpress.com

This actor joined this television personality and his friend when they did a show somewhere in the Middle East a few months ago. The day after their show, a Fashion PULIS reader based in that city spotted the television personality in the Burberry store buying shirts for the actor.

This actor repeatedly denied in interviews that he is having an affair with the television personality. Let me ask you, if he and the television personality were really in a relationship, then why does he still need to accept gigs on the side for just about fifty grand (50,000 PhP)?

Altercation Due to Random Attraction

Image courtesy of www.myspace.com

This story took place when the member of this popular pop rap group was partying in Manila. He got so drunk that he tried hitting on this girl without realizing that she was with her boyfriend. When the drunken athlete boyfriend found out about this, he made a discriminatory comment that irked the rapper.

The rapper retaliated verbally by cursing at the athlete. The two of them almost got into a physical altercation if the bodyguards were not quick to respond. The rapper's bodyguards quickly pulled him away from the athlete and dragged him out of the bar. At the same time, the bodyguards of the girl forcefully tugged her tall athlete boyfriend to one end of the bar.

Fifty Grand?

This television personality was the surprise gift of this friend to a certain lawyer who was celebrating his 60th birthday.

After much persuasion, he finally spilled the beans and told the group that she charged him fifty grand (50,000 PhP), inclusive of everything.

The Bed-hopper

Every working environment has its own unspoken rule regarding flirting. Some companies may frown on flirting between co-workers, while some may be more tolerant about this issue. The best way for you to discover the unwritten flirting etiquette of your workplace is to carefully observe how your colleagues behave.

This television host, who moved to this network more than a year ago, is known not only for his flirtatious behavior but also for his bed-hopping antics. He would normally befriend the pretty young girls at work and invite them to go out on a date with him. After a date or two, he would then sweet talk them into doing a one night thing with him. According to a source, more often than not, he usually gets what he wants because he charms his way into the armors of these girls.

He was Just So Loud

Image courtesy of www.en.wikipedia.org

During a solemn school activity, this politician was standing at the back of the venue, holding an unlit cigar and talking non-stop to his friends. His voice was just so loud that it was echoing across the hall. He only lowered his voice when he heard some of the parents go shhh! 

When the activity was finally over, he rushed outside to light his cigar. The students that were coming out of the venue had to cover their nose because they could not stand what they were smelling.

Letter from a Reader: Business Closed = Lost Consigned Goods

Image courtesy of www.bkkp.blogspot.com

Dear Fashion PULIS,

From 2006 to 2007, I consigned several designer items with this certain make-up artist who was trained in abroad to sell at his store in Rockwell. Initially, he would pay for the goods sold but when his store closed down in 2008, I stopped receiving checks from him. I tried to get back the unsold goods but he was nowhere to be found.

I remember bumping into his business partner at the mall several times. His business partner by the way is a fashion designer who is one of the officers of a group for designers. One time, when this designer was hanging out with some friends, he had an alarmed look on his face when he saw me. He hurriedly stood up, walked away from the group and told me in one corner that is aware of the situation. He promised me that he will get in touch with me once he sort things out with the make-up artist but since then, I never heard from him again. The estimated value of the goods I consigned with them is around 500,000 PhP.

I have never changed my mobile number or my email address. I do not have a Facebook account but one time I asked a friend who has one to send this designer a message reminding him about their obligation. As expected, my friend did not receive any reply. I have tried to text and call the make-up artist many times but he keeps changing his number.

At this point, I do not really care anymore about getting paid or getting the goods back. I am just so enraged at the audacity of these people to publicize their "posh lifestyles" and "European education" in the magazines when in fact they could not even pay for their debts. I guess dishonesty is truly the new black.

Thanks very much for posting my story. More power to you!

Yours truly,

DA

Ready to Go Anywhere?

Image courtesy of www.holeproofexplorer.com.au

Why do men with beautiful and intelligent wives have extra-marital affairs? Is it because these men have self confidence issues? Is it because they feel that they are inferior so they cheat to make themselves feel better?

In my opinion, I think these men look for other women to reassure themselves that they are still good looking, powerful and rich. A man's desire to conquer another woman sexually is resulting from his inflated ego and his need for acceptance. These men also tend to intellectually and emotionally compartmentalize their activities so that they avoid the feeling of remorse or shame.

One example that I can think of would be this certain actor with a beautiful and intelligent wife. In spite of this, he has repeatedly invited this non showbiz girl to go out on a date with him. He told her that he was ready to go anywhere with her as long as it was somewhere outside of Manila. I guess he was just being careful because he knows that his loving wife will turn feisty once she finds out about this.

Just a Little Consideration

Image courtesy of www.hibiscusflorida.com

Last Saturday night, this actor and his actress girlfriend attended the birthday party of another actress from the same network. At the party, the actress girlfriend was already annoyed because the actor got a bit drunk and became too friendly with everyone including his two former girlfriends.

After the party, the actor dragged his girlfriend to meet up with some friends in a hotel somewhere in Makati to continue their drinking session. The actress had a show to do the following day so when it was getting too late for her, she repeatedly requested the actor to bring her home. She finally got upset when the actor stopped paying attention to her and just continued drinking with his buddies. Instead of arguing with the actor, she kept quiet, stood up, walked out of the venue and left her wasted boyfriend behind.

Better Know Your Co-hosts!

Image courtesy of www.wikiality.wikia.com

The members of the production team of this television show are aware that this actress is not the most pleasant person to work with. So when they heard that she was going to be one of the temporary hosts of the show, they did everything possible to make her feel welcome. They greeted her warmly when they saw her arriving at the set. She, on the other hand, gave everyone else a blank stare and marched straight to the dressing room.

When she entered the dressing room, she saw this make-up artist so she asked him, "Will you be doing my make-up?" The make-up artist politely replied, "No, I am one of the hosts." The actress rephrased her question and asked again, "Are you doing the make-up of the other hosts?" The make-up artist did not know if she heard his initial reply so he said, "No, I am a part of this show," and left the dressing room instead.

It is so obvious that this actress did not do her homework. She should know who her co-hosts are before she even joined the show. Unless she was just pretending not to know her co-hosts to annoy them, then that's a different story! Do you know who this actress is?

Managing Very Challenging Behavior

Image courtesy of www.docendodiscimusteachinordertolearn.blogspot.com

The owner of this certain brand met up with the manager of this actress/host to discuss the possibility of getting the actress as the brand's ambassadress. The manager was charging the owner close to two million pesos for the actress's professional fee. On top of that, she was asking for another one million pesos worth of gift certificate for her own personal use. The owner got turned off with what she heard so she still told the manager to give her a week to think it over.

After that particular meeting, the manager called the owner almost everyday to follow up on her decision. She even pressured her by saying that a competing brand is also interested to get the actress as its endorser. When the owner heard this, she politely told the manager to entertain the other brand instead because she is still undecided.

A few months later, the owner was surprised to receive a phone call from the manager. She told the owner that the actress is available again since the other brand decided to get another actress. Despite the fact that the manager was offering the actress to the owner at a lower price this time around, she turned down the offer immediately because she did not want to deal with this manager anymore.

For you to find out who this manager is, you need to first identify the actress. This actress used to co-host a popular television show with this male host who moved to another network.

Letter From a Reader: Unpaid Plane Tickets

Image courtesy of www.dreamstime.com

Dear Fashion PULIS,

Last June 2011, this singer, her mom and manager flew to the United Stated for a series of concerts. Most of our clients pay for their plane tickets first prior to their departure date. However, in this case, the manager informed us that she will just settle the bill when they get back because she ran out of checks. Since she was referred to us by a close friend (former actor who is now based in Hong Kong), we trusted her and allowed them to board the plane without a doubt that she will pay us when they get back. In total, she got three Manila-Los Angeles-Manila business class tickets amounting to 440,000.00 PhP (four hundred forty thousand pesos).

A month later, the singer and her manager returned from the US. Her mother, on the other hand, decided to stay there for a little longer. When we sent the billing statement to the manger, she told us that she does not have money because the producer in the US failed to pay the professional fees. She started ignoring our emails, text messages and phone calls since then. I even requested our lawyer to send her a demand letter but she simply ignored it.

Our friend, who referred her to us, tried to get in touch with her but he could not reach her. Since we have not been paid, we decided to cancel the Los Angeles-Manila ticket of the singer's mother so she is still stuck in the US until now. 

Thank you very much Fashion PULIS for posting this letter. I hope this story serves as a lesson to all your readers. More power to you!

Sincerely,
Michelle

Everything Got Delayed

Image courtesy of www.ceron.jp

The director of this television series gave specific instructions to the make-up artist. When this reality star alumna turned actress did not like what her make-up artist did for her, she started acting like a spoiled brat and ordered him to redo everything. The make-up artist told her that he was just following the orders of the director but she still refused to listen.

When the director saw the actress, he was furious. Her look was totally inappropriate for the scene so he sent her back to her make-up artist. The make-up artist had no choice but to do everything all over again.

The entire production schedule for that day was delayed for hours because of the stubborn of one actress. After this traumatic incident, the make-up artist resigned from the show because he could no longer stand this actress' attitude.

Letter From a Reader: Masking a Scandal in the Performing Arts

Image courtesy of www.weheartit.com

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I know you have such a big following and I was hoping I could share this with all your readers. This story does not involve anyone from show business or the world of fashion but it involves some influential people in the world of the arts. 

Currently, there is a scandal brewing that involves a certain artistic director of the group and  one of its solo performers. The soloist is contemplating to file a lawsuit against the director for sexual harassment. What is sad is that the person who leads the said group knows about this but she is doing everything possible to protect the director.  At present, many of the group's performers are leaving after they discovered this director's activities that involve minors. 

FP, I hope you can help get the word out because the actions of this director should never be tolerated. Thank you and more power to you!

Yours truly,

Art Enthusiast
