Image via WikipediaThis is a recap of the second episode of Project Runway Philippines. We will not be dishing out personal commentary on the designers and their garments, the hosts, judges, the easter eggs, the continuity issues, and the production value of the show. (Uhm, we’ll try.)
The show started with a recap of key scenes from the pilot episode. In the pocket interview cum confessional of Aries Lagat, he shared that he felt awful and sad due to Loida Hunter’s elimination. He recounted that in his last interview, he said some bad things about Loida and for wanting her out of the show.
Teresa Herrera appeared on the runway and welcomed the designers. The models were brought out and Teresa announced that the winning model will get a fashion spread in Mega Magazine. The designers were asked to pick their models. Aries Lagat, winner of the previous challenge got first dibs at choosing a model and he traded his model for another one. Teresa then picked the order of selection by drawing out buttons with names of the designers from the velvet bag (first time to be used in the show). Except for one designer (Ivan?) who picked the model abandoned by Aries, all the other designers stuck with their own models. (See Summary table towards end of this entry).

In efforts of giving back to you, readers of this blog, as well as the whole community, I am giving away 2 slots to an exclusive photo shoot with photographer-extraordinaire David Fabros!
Who is David Fabros?
Well, David Fabros is David Fabros! Kidding aside, David is one of the best photographers and multimedia person that I have met. Dave has worked for over two decades in the media — in television, public relations, amrketing communications, and talent development. Dave has professionally gained a firm foothold in the entertainment and show business realm. Dave has photographed the biggest and brightest stars our local industry has. Dave is best known for his photographic compilations: the Star Magic Catalogs of 2006 and 2007, and the recently-released and much-talked about Piolo Pascual’s pictorial biography coffeetable book, Piolo: Believing. (Find ouot more about David Fabros and his works on David Fabros.com)

I consider myself lucky to have had portraits taken by the great David in 2005 at a very (as in really) friendly price. The shoot was part of a series of photoshoots gathering friends and friends of friends. My session was part of GlamCam 3 and the slots I’m giving away are for GlamCam 9. It was also during GlamCam 3 that I met one of the country’s foremost gay bloggers and podcast producer extraordinaire Joel McVie (but we didn’t really remember that until after we got reintroduced. hehe).
I was supposed to go to GlamCam9 but due to prior engagements, I asked Dave if I could just buy a slot (or two) to give away here on Bakla Ako, May Reklamo? GlamCam 9 is also very important for me since it is a charity shoot, meaning, proceeds of the shoot will be given to charity. The shoot is tentatively set on August 10 and will be conducted in Metro Manila.
So how do you win an exclusive shoot with Dave Fabros?
Simply send an email to ajkenji (at) gmail (dot) com telling me why you deserve to get that slot before 11:59 of August 7, Thursday. One requirement though is you be biologically mail. Also send your contact information (email address, complete name, and phone number).
So are you ready for your close-up?

From the makers of Daybreak, comes another interesting film which will break barriers and send one too many an eyebrow raising to the 36th floor: IMORAL.
Imoral - Paolo Paraiso Katherine Luna Arnold Reyes
Imoral is the latest film from award-winning filmmaker Adolfo Alix, Jr. Alix is on a roll as he releases yet another intriguing film with morality, monogamy, relationships, and sexuality as running themes. Fresh from the release of his film Adela, which was the opening film of Cinemalaya 2008, Alix is ready, yet again, to showcase another promising work in Imoral.
The first cut of Imoral was screened during the 2008 Cinemalaya Festival in July to a jampacked crowd. (view the trailer after the cut)
The film revolves around the dynamics of the relationship between a wife, her husband, and his lover — all living under the same roof. Paolo Paraiso, .+++Click here to continue Reading
