Michelle Phan and Bryanboy On Vogue March 2010

The March 2010 Power issue of Vogue Magazine, with Tina Fey on the cover, features the most influential style bloggers in the world. Among them are Youtube beauty guru, Michelle Phan and our very own Filipino fashion blogger, Bryanboy of bryanboy.com

Michelle Phan is one of my favorite beauty video bloggers whose phenomenal success in youtube caught the attention of one of the biggest cosmetics companies, Lancome. She recently inked a deal with them as the brand’s official video makeup artist. In addition to her regular makeup tutorials, she will be making a video each month, featuring her favorite Lancome products, trends and events. Michelle, who was once turned down when she applied as a sales associate in a department store for the same company, proves that dreams do come true – if desired ardently enough. She’s on a roll as she lands on the pages of the Vogue Magazine’s US issue next month.

The Vogue feature wouldn’t be complete without Bryanboy, the wildly popular fashion blogger from the Philippines who attracts around 5,000 page views on his blog on a daily basis. His signature bag pose, fashion IQ, along with his witty and often times bitchy commentaries, earned the thumbs up of fashion enthusiasts all over the world, including top designers like Marc Jacobs, who named a handbag after him- the BB ostrich bag. It comes as no surprise that Bryanboy is now gracing Vogue, which is considered to be the gold standard in fashion magazines. What can we say, he’s used to the fabulous lifestyle.

Michelle and Bryanboy are joined by other famous bloggers like Tommy Ton, Garancé Doré, Mary Tomer, Yvan Rodic, Todd Selby, Hannelli Mustaparta, and Catherine Kallon.

Below is a video from Style.com capturing some snippets from the magazine shoot.

Rolling With The Homies

A pre-debut shoot for Camille who will be celebrating her birthday on early summer, next year. Photos were taken by Dustein Sibug. Makeup by yours truly.

I noticed the semblance of our model, Camille, with young actress Maja Salvador as I was doing her makeup. The glamour rendered by Dustein’s photos further leaves you wondering if she’s part of Star Magic’s stable of talents.

Yes, there are indeed lots of pretty faces and talented photographers in Cagayan de Oro. The only thing we lack is the magazine to put all these fabulous fashion spreads.

Shop & Share Celebrity Auction

While our country is still recovering from the damages caused by  back to back typhoons Ondoy (Ketsana) and Pepeng (Parma), celebrities have innovated a way to generate more funds by donating their goods. Actress Angel Locsin lives up to her name and spearheads this noble project.

Don’t be jealous of the beneficiaries, though. Authentic Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Burberry items will not be directly given to the victims, as fashion is not among the priorities of Mang Juan and Aling Nena for now. Instead, the expensive and fashionable bags and shoes will  be auctioned online through  the Shop & Share website which opened yesterday. The revenues will go straight into the Philippine National Red Cross’ Disaster Relief Efforts.

Joining forces with  Angel Locsin are Anne Curtis, Kris Aquino, Dimples Romana, Jake Cuenca, Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Luis Manzano, Marian Rivera and couple more. Yes Papa P (Piolo Pascual) is showing his support as well. But sorry girls, a date with him isn’t up for auction.

If you want to walk in the shoes of Pokwang (LV size 6) on glass tiles or fill the bigger shoes of Ruffa Gutierrez ( Tory Burch Heels size 10) and you have the money for it, go and start bidding now at http://shopandshare.ph! The LV monogram tote of Kris Aquino is waiting for its new owner and Heart Evangelista’s pretty face might just rub off on you when you wear her Fendi shades (but don’t blame me if it doesn’t).

If you are a true-blue fashionista and are finding ways to reach out to the typhoon victims, bidding at the site is a win-win situation. But do hurry. As of writing, the $399 starting bid of Anne Curtis’ LV backpack has escalated to $900, with 23 rabid bidders. International buyers are more than welcome to join because the auction process is made possible through ebay.com.

This early, I’m congratulating the organizers of this project! We’re starting to see the other side of these celebrities beyond the superficial facets of their showbiz lives. May God bless their beautiful souls.

Fashion and The City

Just finished watching one of my favorite 80’s movie: “The Mannequin” the Kim Catrall and Andrew McCarthy  flick which catapulted the song ” Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” to the top of the music charts. Don’t ask how old I was when the movie became a  hit.

I was amazed at how  Kim Catrall evolved from the sweetheart doll into the bombshell character that she played in the popular TV series Sex and the City’s which I enjoyed as well.  Sad that they had to end it.

Speaking of “Sex and the City,” they are currently filming the sequel to the successful movie version released last year. News is that Catrall and Sarah Jessica Parker, the actress playing the role of the fashion savvy Carrie Bradshaw are not on speaking terms which is causing a lot of stress on the set of the current movie. Here’s hoping they iron out any differences between them. I’m a big fan of the two but I totally adore Carrie’s fashion sense. Well, who doesn’t?

In case you haven’t noticed, Carrie has been spotted a lot of times wearing Mikimoto Pearls as her fashion arsenals. She can wear that little black dress without looking too safe or boring by accentuating it with these signature pieces of jewelry. Lovely, isn’t it?

Mikimoto Kōkichi is the Japanese entrepreneur who discovered the methods for culturing pearls as jewelries, hence the name. Mikimoto pearls are fine, exquisite fashion accessories which are not at all the types that you would find in the flea market. They come at a cost but then with its quality, who could complain?  If you wanna strut just like Carrie, investing in these fabulous fashion accents may be a good start.

The slated date for release of the SATC Movie part 2 is on May 28, 2010. Mark your calendar, fashionistas!

Style Spotting: Katie Holmes’ New Hairdo

Katie Holmes oozes with”oomph” factor as she strolls in Manhattan with this new hair style. I’m betting that beauty salons will soon be loaded with girls wanting to have their hair chopped like Katie’s. With the rising prices of gasoline, saving up on shampoo and conditioner won’t be a bad idea. I love the accentuating scarf and glasses.
