In this blog entry are photos courtesy of Bruce Casanova for Binibining Pilipinas as taken during the Grand Parade of Beauties held around Araneta City earlier. Good thing the rains cooperated at least during the duration of the event.

And in line with the event, I paired some of the pieces in the five different collections as worn by familiar faces in the pageant and modeling industry. Take your picks among the three pairs and tell me which bridal style would suit your taste if your were to walk down the aisle. 🙂

Would you go French chic with a Rajo Laurel (on Kylie Verzosa) or Rhett Eala (on Vanessa Mae Walters)?
Would you prefer non-traditional colors like these Frederick Peralta creations on Monika Sta. Maria (in black and white) and Anja-Vanessa Peter (in light mocha)?
Or will you stick to white but go all-out like the Rhett Eala flowery (worn by Catriona Gray) or Randy Ortiz quiet elegance (on Jodilly Pendre)?

What’s up with Bb. Pilipinas Supranational 2015 Rogelie Catacutan nowadays? A lot. Aside from fulfilling her duties and responsibilities to BPCI, our lovely Cebuana has been constantly devoting much of her free time from personal appearances and the like to constant workouts in the gym and dedicated fitness training with Bench Ortiz of Gold’s Gym. And this girl doesn’t mind if she’s not hitting 100% energy and perkiness during her scheduled sessions. She knows fully well that there is no room for laziness whatsoever.
Rogelie’s eyes are on Krakow, Poland and how she will transform herself to the ultra-competitive Philippine representative for Miss Supranational 2015 scheduled on December 4 at the Sports Hall in Krynica-Zdroj for the second year in a row. But prior to that, all pre-pageant activities will take place in the Malopolska Region (or Lesser Poland) where Krakow is the capital city.

Keep up with the instilled discipline, Rogelie, and you will definitely reap the rewards of your hard work before Christmas this year!
I know that you want to continue bringing more honor to your fellow Cebuanos and the rest of the country. And your Tito @normant will be supporting you all the way!

P.S. All photos in this post were beautifully shot by Bruce Casanova.
During last week’s Veluz S/S 2015 Bridal Show, two (2) of the models particularly stood out because of their beautiful faces and shining aura. And they are familiar names as well – Bb. Pilipinas 2015 Official Candidate Alaiza Malinao and Asia’s Next Top Model S3 contender Monika Sta. Maria.
Monika-wise, we’re still unsure if she won the pan-regional modeling competition, although the remaining gunners are now down to six (6). Alaiza-wise, she is rumored to give Bb. Pilipinas a second try, either next year or 2017. What fate awaits them in their respective endeavors?
In the meantime, enjoy their images in this post as taken by Bruce Casanova. 😉
Bench Body held an underwear show that highlighted its latest lines, including the Michael Cinco Collection

Bench Body endorser Mr. World Philippines 2014 John Spainhour helps boost the sales, for sure. But with the name of Michael Cinco attached to some of the inner wearables, there is an added premium. Except for that one with the winged unicorn emblazoned all over the front, I have all his pieces here. 😉

Designer Joey Samson's Summer/Spring 2015 for Style Origin
An almost androgynous look for the men of today
As photographed by my favorite lensman Bruce Casanova, the designer unveiled a line of new creations that push the envelope in terms of men’s fashion – a cross between rugged and androgynous but still with the strong use of a more masculine color plate that should give the braver fashionistas more reasons to wear one and flaunt their sense of style with confidence.
While I may not belong to those who are fast-forward enough in terms of dressing up, I still believe that the constant evolution of menswear is a must. And Joey is one of those at the forefront of giving the Filipino male a template by which they can express their individuality. 🙂
The look of the Pinoy fashionista from the eyes of Joey Samson
Joey Samson's evolving looks for the fashionable Filipino male may not be for everyone, but the braver souls will surely bite.
