Fashion free will
BY now, fashionable stores hosting local designers have earned themselves a kind of (much-deserved) popularity among both the fashion followers and, to a degree, the general buying public. These are virtual treasure troves, with unique, individual pieces that cater to almost every taste and, especially of late, almost any budget. Such stores, which often host a wide selection of designers, are perhaps the best avenue for the individual designer, and the most convenient, non-intimidating way for all kinds of clients to browse items at their leisure.
Irresistibly Pretty
I think Julia Roberts, playing Anna on Notting Hill, said it best: "I’m also just a girl…" In spite of me.
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
WHAT do you expect from this movie? I for one found my expectations fulfilled. I caught myself at times reaching across my shoulder as if I were checking if my seatbelt were on. The impacts are awesome here, as are almost everything else about the car stunts. Whenever you watch a movie in the Fast and the Furious series you expect eye popping car stunts, and Tokyo Drift definitely delivers on that.
MOUTHING OFF
What do basketball star Vince Hizon and wife Patricia Bermudez-Hizon, together with sports buff and TV host Paolo Abrera, and VJ/stage actress Karel Marquez have in common?
Drawing the Diaspora
"Do you know what it feels like to be small, brown, and hated? Have you ever felt what it feels like to live in America and not be white? Art in the United States, for all its supposed liberalism and diversity, still has its limits. Art is still pretty much a white world." This was the rough transcript of my conversation with Jenifer Wofford at Future Prospects Art Space in Cubao. It was the night of the artist’s talk during the run of her solo show, Nurse.
Hail the Status Bag
THE new generation of style has given birth to a fashion totem so powerful, that you are whom you carry. Seen in every crook of a celebrity’s arm and the perfect match to every tall latte and oversized sunnies, all hail the new icon of pop culture: the status bag.
