Yours truly as the make-up artist again.
I’d really appreciate it if someone would intern/practice as an MUA for our shoots really. I enjoy doing my models’ make-up but it’s nice to have other ideas come in for a change.

That’s Mara and I in the second picture. She’s really shy about people taking pictures of her even though she’s awesomesauce herself. Thanks John for the BTS shots again.

This would not have been possible without the hospitality of my high school classmate’s family. Special thanks to the Garcia family for venue shoot. Their house is full of awesome!

I met up with Erica and John at the Banilad Town Center at around 1:30PM then proceeded to the venue. There we caught up with Michelle, Joanah, Mara and Lea. I did Erica’s make-up and we started shooting in the “Japanese room”.

I loved the sliding Japanese doors the best! John played with external flashes once again and we all just went around and shot Erica in different angles. lol. It was more of all of us bonding than concentrating on the shoot in the end.

We ended up going around the house because John wanted an “umbrella” shot.
Sadly, it rained shortly afterward so we went back in after a few shots and gave Erica a break.

It’s like Spring Love.

For those of you who have no idea, modeling is really stressful so it’s important not to tire out your model or else it’ll show up in your photos. I brought some kopi buns for everyone and the house served us iced tea. (Thank you~)

I’ve always wanted a Geisha shoot like forever. I’m glad Erica contacted me because I instantly had an epiphany the moment I saw her profile pictures. (Photography epiphanies. lol.)

In other news, two of my models need love and support from all of you!

The final selection night will be on May 3, 2010 at the Mandaue City Plaza Square and the Grand Coronation Night will be on May 6, 2010.

You can support her by texting MSMANDAUE POLL N send to 9977 for SMART subscribers only. Online voting is going on from APRIL 21 – MAY 6 at 8pm only.

Or you can vote for her online. Here’s the finalist page and vote for Candidate #14. Go Kin!

She’s not nominated for eviction so she’s safe this week but in the following months to come, please support her! I’m saying this with bias and knowing that the whole country probably loves her by now. Haha. Plug: Fretzie’s FB fanpage!

My late April Fool’s day gimmick. Clip-on bangs FTW. Got them from my Bangkok trip for those of you who are curious as to where to get them. Elsewhere? I have no idea. Irl I don’t think I’m gonna go for this look now. I already look too young for comfort.
