25 Years In The Making: Bench Universe - The 2012 Denim & Underwear Show.

Celebrating the brand's 25 years at the top! The 2012 Denim & Underwear Show - the hottest and grandest Bench fashion show ran for 2 nights, September 13 & 14 at the MOA Arena. I was lucky enough to witness it on the first day. As expected of any Bench shows, this one nailed it!

"Rock of Ages" star Mig Ayesa wearing a cape like a royalty did a rock number that signalled the start of the show. Pretty Kim Chiu opened the stage and set the ramp on fire, very eye-catching in her white corset top. Towards the middle of the stage, Kim detached/removed the long skirt that revealed her sexiness in white printed short shorts.

1. Aljur Abrenica

Highlight of the futuristic production was topless hunk and V-shaped Aljur Abrenica who was so hot. Screams loud and getting louder, he is definitely the ultimate Pinoy guapo hands down! 

2. Jake Cuenca

Jay Cuenca wearing orange briefs was a total flirt that sent the screams all over from girls and gays alike. The screams got louder when he removed his briefs and revealed him in black thongs. 

3. Diether Ocampo

Fit and well-toned Diether Ocampo came on stage riding a motorbike. The guy is so hot despite the years

4. Paolo Avelino

Paulo Avelino came amidst loud screams and appeared to remove his boxers but did not. Screams! 

5. Joseph Marco

6. Richard Gomez

First Bench celebrity endorser Richard Gomez got loud screams as he appeared in fully-covered suit. 

7. Rayver Cruz

8. Enchong Dee

A video of Bench's first ever tv commercial was shown with the first Bench endorser Richard Gomez rowing. Suddenly, Enchong Dee in harness appeared from the ceiling down rowing in a makeshift boat, then in a true athletic fashion threw himself in the air and landed on the stage, before striking a pose. Screams! What a number! 

9. Kim Chiu

10. Jennylyn Mercado

11. Lovi Poe

12. Bela Padilla

13. Manny and Jinky Pacquiao

Husband and wife Manny and Jinky Pacquiao wore suit and gown, respectively and smiled shyly at the crowd. 

14. Jessy Mendiola

15. Borgy Manotoc

16. Carla Abellana

17. Sam Concepcion

18. Georgina Wilson

19. Christian Bautista

20. Julia Montes

21. Coco Martin

Coco Martin was a disappointment who appeared fully-clothed in sando and denims, but oh boy, he definitely brought the house down getting the loudest screams and shrieks from fans. Needless to say, Coco didn't have to show skin, such effortless sex appeal!

The show's finale was stunning Congresswoman Lucy Torres-Gomez, wearing fabulous evening gown handing a bouquet of flowers to the Man of the Hour, Mr. Ben Chan!

Overall , the show was fabulous, as usual - technically advanced in terms of production and creatives, lots of designers participated like Michael Cinco, Cary Santiago among others.

To Bench and Mr. Ben Chan, here's to 25 plus 25 more fabulous years!

Philandering Joe Maddened a Break-Up

Image courtesy of www.theredbarncooperative.wordpress.com

When actor/host AH and his girlfriend GF broke up, there was no clear and detailed reason for the split. People were merely assuming and speculating. But heard from the grapevine that GF was gradually getting turned off by AH's weird attitude. After all, what was previously talked about him was true. Amongst some close friends, GF blurted out from out of the blue how AH's diva-like, bossy habit is getting into her nerves. AH seems to require his staff to be at his beck and call in all his waking hours, refusing to do even the tiniest stuff by himself.

Wasn't there a rumor before when they were still together that AH let GF carry his bags and luggage that made GF look like his personal assistant PA? But of course, both denied it ever happened, with GF even saying that AH will never do that to her. Now that it is resurfacing is understandable - because both have already gone separate ways.

Apart from that, GF also learned that AH regularly dropped by massage clinics to have some extra "stuff" done, while at the same time he was also flirting with a dancer in one of his shows. This GF found out to be true, finally had enough and confronted AH. Words were exchanged, of course. And right after, they themselves revealed they have broken up.

Just a Missing Actor in His Own Presscon

Image courtesy of www.geeksandglobaljustice.com

Talented Drama Actor (TA) is considered a newbie since that it is only now that he is given exposures and projects such as teleseryes and tv guestings. To be fair with him, he has talent and he delivers. TA also appears in variety shows because he can sing well. However, his talents do not really jive well with his physical looks because he does not possess that head-turning look unlike his colleagues.

Nonetheless, real talent and rising popularity cannot be ignored. Thus a movie outfit prepared for him a starring role in one of the episodes in the movie which paired him with a controversial young actress. At the movie's presscon, the reporters wanted to ask him about the latest buzz in his lovelife. However, he was nowhere, but the press patiently waited. Finally, the handler came up with a lame excuse that TA could not be found. Some quipped why there was not even any advice from him that he could not make it. The reporters were naturally peeved.

Is TA showing an attitude this early? What seems to be scaring him, what is bothering him? If none, then perhaps even a little professionalism will do. Respect other players in the industry so they will respect you back, that simple. The media is there for the purpose of helping stars like him get exposure. TD should be thankful the press even waited for him. Other than the issue on his love life, there really is nothing substantially worth writing about him.

The Masseur and the Vigorous Actor

Image courtesy of www.london.olx.co.uk

The masseur was shocked when he saw Vigorous Actor (VA) would be his client. Although the masseur has worked abroad, he was familiar with local celebs like VA. VA welcomed him inside a room, and the masseur started his massage. As he was about to finish, he asked VA if he wanted an “extra service.” To his surprise, VA agreed. Then, he asked if VA wanted to get the entire service. To his shock, VA nodded again. They went all the way. VA paid the fee, and the masseur left.

Although VA has been around for some time as a product of a reality show, he still has to get that big break. He has made his rounds with the networks and still that much-coveted fame is at a standstill. He still plays supporting roles. VA has a very good physique and real hot, which has made women and gays swoon over him. He has denied  that a gay benefactor paid for his education. If his career will not really bloom, VA will always have a fall-back: a degree tucked under his belt.

Can you identify who VA is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want them to be posted. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Not a Jaded Relationship?

                                    Image courtesy of www.theyouthforjesus.blogspot.com

Talented Actress TA and Actor-Politician AP have been on an on and off relationship. There are some issues around them, esp from the actor's side of the family. Word has it that AP's mom is not exactly in favor of the relationship because not only are they friends with the family of TA's ex-relationship, but they also are from the same province.

However the latest sighting of TA and AP vacationing abroad confirms that their relationship is still  very much on. But there's a catch: a source confirmed that apart from TA, AP is also seeing another girl who is not from showbiz. In fact, AP and the girl were recently seen having a drink in a swanky bar in an upscale district. What does it mean then? Is AP really serious with TA or he just really loves being around women, just like the other men in his family.

Nevertheless, we wish TA the best because she deserves it, if only for being a good and hardworking mom to her only child. Her failed marriage was quite a traumatic one - allegedly she was not only a battered wife but also victim of a two-timing husband. May that be behind her now. And hopefully her blooming career be her triumph amidst all the adversities of her past.

Cherished Memories

Image courtesy of www.istamp4u.blogspot.com

After all the success this young and Talented Performer TP has achieved, will it be meaningful that a close Family Member FM has been shedding quiet tears due to conflict with her?

During TP's struggling years, FM was with her from day one, all the way till she reached the apex of superstardom -- something that she never imagined would fall beautifully on her lap. Her rags to fame story was like a dream, the hugeness was just too good to be true. TP rose to international fame, eventually appearing on major US television shows, and a musical series. That started the ball rolling in her unbelievable rise in her career.

Every Filipino was mighty proud of TP. At her age, few would think that there would be a Filipina performer who would make it in a scale that other more established artists could only dream of.

Hers was a success fought with tears and years of struggle, shoulder to shoulder, inch by inch. By any measure, both TP and FM triumphed against all odds together. Her huge victory is definitely one for the books, an affirmation that big dreams do come true, and that she paid her dues.

For years, TP and FM were allies doting on each other ... like peas in a pod ... like shadows moving in the streetlight. But says the cliché, save for change, nothing in the world is ever permanent. For almost a year now, the rumor mill has stories that both TP and FM are not exactly seeing eye to eye. Some say that it had a lot to do with TP's major decisions in her young life --- the choices she had made and done --- all without proper consultations with FM.

Someone who is now close to TP is said to be one major factor of the rift. This person is one being suspected by FM to have influenced TP in many of her big decisions, from her image make-over up to her financial matters.

As to how long this conflict will go greatly depends upon the love between TP and FM. Some people say that with fame comes pain. But one thing is very certain: the tears of a family member like FM is sure to have a lasting, significant effect on the life and career of TP. She better watch out - the ball is now on her court.

Can you identify who TP and FM are? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want them to be posted. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Attention-getting Spots

Dramatic-Comedic Actress (DC) attended the launching of one of her endorsements. Ever since she started young, DC has won over her audience, who also grew up as she did. From her cute and kiddie roles, DC has acted in daring movies. Despite the years, her face is still as lovable as it was when she was a kid. However, the cuteness factor is opposite the trauma her former love life gave her. DC has been in the news lately because she already found a new love.

Anyway, as an endorser of a beauty product, certain expectations are demanded. Of course, DC possesses the most important body part her endorsement needs. DC, however, just like any model, is demanded to be beautiful and presentable from head to foot. So, when DC showed up in the launching in a short dress, attention was focused on her legs. Noticeable were the several band-aid strips on her feet. Then, there were also noticeable red spots on her legs, which made her look as though she had yucky rashes. Is DC unaware of leg make-up? She could have also worn a longer dress to hide the spots. DC should always remember she has always to be flawless when she appears in public.

Can you identify who DC is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want them to be posted. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Her True Grit

Image courtesy of www.vimeo.com

When tv-host-actress (TH) started in the business, she was everyone’s darling. The press loved her. The fans adored her. People followed her from one channel to another, from teleseryes to movies, from one hit record to her concerts, and from one hosting gig to the next. When she fell in love, everyone was happy because the man seemed to match her personality. Their relationship has been rocked by a few intrigues and still, they hung on. When he did not visit her when she had to rest for health reasons, she was quick to defend him. It must be true love. That was TH ... then.

However, these days, some fans have noticed that TH seems to be growing distant. Unlike before, fans notice that TH gets easily irritated. Gone is the smile that they got used to. Even in her interviews, TH sounds defensive and no longer cares about what is being talked about her. There was one instance when TH went to a particular place, the receptionists smiled at and greeted her with their warm welcome. What did they get in return? TH walked past and ignored them. Even the guard quipped that TH was arrogant and snooty to the small people.

Will TH be able to reconcile her real personality with what she projects on screen? Let me rephrase that – will TH in real life ever be the charming, jovial, and amiable personality just like the roles she plays on tv and movies? These traits of hers were what won her fans over, and if she wants to keep them, then certainly, it would be a very welcome change.

Can you identify who TH is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want them to be posted. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.
