RAOUL, The Collection.

Some were nice. The flowing dresses, backless tops, tight skirts and flower prints on soft material. Others, I found a bit out of place. The pants of the men were too short, it was awkward. Could have been a bit shorter for the cropped pants look but this was not so short, not long enough. Even Cedric says so and he has more fashion sense than me.

The fur coats? Hmmm, I never did get to ask if they were real. If they were, then PETA would not be happy. I think that for those who are rich enough to buy fur coats, they must already have a house in Europe, US or winter wonderland places. My friend NP has a house in LA and Greece. She said that all her fur coats are already there so as to avoid having to pack them up whenever she travels. I think that's smart and logical. So to actually sell and wear them here in Manila might be a mistake. It never gets THAT cold here, even in December. But anyway, I guess SSI know exactly what they are doing. After all, they are the gazillionaires.

ENJOY!

1. Something superlative.
2. People of the highest social level.


I always knew what it was but now that I looked it up, I confirm that this is always the guest list when there's an SSI event. The Zobel's, Huang's, Tantoco's, Concepcion's, and many more. And then, there's me and my dates, Steffie and Cedric.

Steffie can't stop working. It was her account and even if she has all her dudes working hard, she is always on the run making sure the GM and his lovely wife are comfortable. She reminds me a lot of "Emily" in the Devil Wears Prada. Here she is with MK.

Cedric is event hungry. He is only here for a few more weeks and he loves seeing old friends who happen to be in the fashion industry. He has been my constant date since I met him. Thanks to chuvaness who introduced us to each other. I like Cedric. He is bastos like me.


Anyway, here are some of the RAOUL launch party peeps!

And before I post the runway show, check me out with my super teenage crush. When I was a young girl, my sister, cousins and I would pretend to be artistas. I was always Snooky Serna or Sharon Cuneta. Albert Martinez was always my boyfriend. Can I make it come true???
