Locks for luxe
WHEN I said summer is all about hair, I genuinely meant it. Why bother spending at least an hour on a fiddly makeup routine when the weather is warmer and outdoor activities are a must? Try a little art of distraction and get sexy false eyelash extensions. They are so hot today and they can last for a good three weeks. Or you can run to the nearest Shu Uemura Tokyo Lash Bar beginning April 1 for a funkier eye-do which can be used up to 10 times, depending on your care. Or do what I do, head straight to the salon!
Hitting the sweet spot
Avant-Garde: "A group of people, especially in the arts, who are ahead of all others in using or creating new ideas, methods, designs or styles."
Passion for an Old House
THE bullet is still lodged right there in the lower right post of the wooden doorframe. Tracing its course back to where the sniper must have been, I tried to recreate in my mind the day William Howard Taft almost was assassinated in this house in Batangas City.
The Digicam Ecosystem
SONY, with its line-up of sleek and superbly designed yet extremely powerful digital cameras that would surely rock the world, is not all about digital, apparently. They’re into some things that would touch the heart, and help uplift sagging spirits of Filipinos, especially victims of natural disasters.
GET READY TO BE MOBBED
IT all comes down to convergence. In this interactive age of multimedia and multitasking, one platform is simply not enough to make one’s mark.
Tristan and Isolde
EGADS, another period-piece love story. Tristan & Isolde throws us into the dark ages in Britain, after the fall of the Roman empire as the tribes of Britain try to form uneasy alliances while they are ruled by the Irish.
THE GRAND MASH
SWAROVSKI’S trendspotters have been out in force to capture the essence of the Spring/Summer 2007 season revealing a distinct desire to express individuality. This daring cut/paste style is guaranteed to make you stand out in the crowd and trend experts say we will use the new trends, characterized by their constantly evolving, exciting and unpredictable style clashes, to express the current rush towards the "mash" culture.
BEACH BUM BEAUTY ARSENAL
CASA PILAR, BORACAY—Day 1 in White Beach and the summer sun in this side of the country was just about to hit its morning high, and already, I am tanned. For the first time in my life, I am dark, and I crossed the borderline of my fair skin to kayumanggi safely. Going 30 years old—there shouldn’t be any other way!
Form and function melding nicely
WHEN Reena Loi Salvador starts talking, she draws you into her rhythm so quickly and decidedly, she could sell you a snow plough in the desert in the middle of summer, and you’d pay in cash. This fearless, fast-talking, business-savvy young woman is a gutsy ball of energy who always, always, always stands by what she thinks—rather, what she knows—and is not afraid to say, "I have taste, and I know what’s marketable."
Modeling 101
YOU can’t get all your modeling cues from watching reality TV. And while reason and discipline should be enough to build a career on, it helps to get the proper perspective from people who know the modeling business inside and out.
