Last Na To!

This will be my last post about this Ballet Barbie. I just need to show you what I got in behalf of Jul B. Dizon Jewellery. My mom always supported the classical arts and I am sure she would have bid so much higher than what I did because after, it is for charity, but I didn't want to shock my brother when I tell him the company bought a P30,000 Barbie doll. Men just don't understand such things.

I bid for Frederick Peralta's Bridal Barbie because I think it is something that my mom would love.

Your bloggerina and The Frederick Peralta.

Here's where she is now. Pretty no? Can someone get her a KEN?

Check out that train of lace!

But the Winner of a Barbie has to go to this woman. She was loving her bubble gum pink gown with matching blonde hair. Tessa was hilariously flirting with Ken. It was certainly one of the highlights of my evening.

I miss mom.

Barbie-do!

Our Barbie dolls ended up with stringy hair, short, bald or ruined with bubble gum. Her hair, I think, is the most attractive part of Barbie. Long, straight and blonde. At one point, I suppose I wanted to have hair exactly like hers. Until of course, being BLONDE meant something other than the color of your hair. I am happy with my long thick hair. Although my fashion designer friends (FDF) wants me to cut it off and get a more stylish look. AG, will not have any of this. He wants my hair the way it is and I am happy that my long hair can sometimes mask my chubby face.

Last night, Barbie had so many different hairstyles that I thought I should write up about it. Some FDF even had their dolls go to a salon for some major hair styling!




















A for EFFORT!!!

Ballet Barbie!

My mom used to bring us to ballet performances all the time. We would be wearing our fru-fru dresses, stockings and ribbon on our hair whenever we went to CCP to watch Lisa Macuja dance. We were also trained not to snore if ever we fell asleep during the show. Hahaha. I am so glad my mom exposed us to the classical arts. At that time, all I wanted was to see how pretty the costumes were, too young to appreciate the difficult moves and the pain on the toes!

During these young years of mine, Barbie also filled up our home. But they were not mine. I never really found it exciting, to play with a doll that could hardly move. Jenny, on the other hand, LOVED them to pieces! I was always worried that if I didn't like them Barbies, that maybe I was a TOMBOY!

I guess the obsession with Barbie dolls is a hint of what kind of person you will be in the future. As Rajo said last night at the Ballet Barbie at the Peninsula, "It was Barbie who inspired me to become a fashion designer. I would steal my sister's Barbie dolls!"

When Ballet Philippines tapped the most talented fashion designers in the country to dress up their own Barbies for a cause, it became a Barbie fashion havoc. Check it out.

Barbie All Glammed Up!

This Barbie is dressed up by National Artist, Mr. Pitoy Moreno.

My question is....why the hell did BALLET PHILIPPINES not invite me? I am so hurt. This would have been such a joy to do! I would have Barbie wear a diamond tiara, a ruby suite and even diamond studded shoes!!! SIGH... I am sad.

Anyway, yesterday at the Press Event, I was able to see the works of a lot of my friends in the fashion industry. Barbie has never looked so glamourous. She is hot hot hot!

Fashion designers were tapped into creating couture clothes for Barbie to benefit Ballet Philippine's dance scholars.

Ballet Philippines President Margie Moran-Floirendo says, "Through Ballet Barbie, we hope to create the perfect blend of Barbie and Ballet and come up with something that every girl will want to keep and cherish for the rest of her life."

The project brings together a number of the most talented arbiters of fashion including Pitoy Moreno, Aureo Alonzo, Pepito Albert, Cary Santiago, Puey Quinones, James Reyes, Dennis Lustico, Rhett Eala, Rajo Laurel, Tippi Ocampo, Frederick Peralta and many many more.
