Four of the rumored familiar faces who are considering Miss World Philippines 2017 as their next pageant route


Talks are starting to get louder about the ladies who are planning/considering to join Miss World Philippines 2017. While nothing is set in stone for their eventual signing-up yet, there are discussions in pageant circles that four of the potential enlisters are as follows:

1) Laura Victoria Lehmann – Bb. Pilipinas 2014 1st Runner-Up and ABS-CBN Sports Courtside Reporter

2) Janela Joy Cuaton – Mutya ng Pilipinas Tourism Metropolitan International 2016 and Miss Tourism Metropolitan International 2016 1st Runner-Up

3) Jona Sweett – Miss Philippines Earth Eco-Tourism 2015 and the muse of Caticlan-based Fashion Designer Adriano Samar

4) Steffi Rose Pearson Aberasturi – the Cebu-based beauty who comes from the popular Aberasturi clan. She was crowned Reyna ng Aliwan 2014 where she represented the Sinulog Festival

As I have stated above, their possible joining is not 100% so far, but coming close to it if all things fall in the right places in the weeks to come.

Watch out for more updates! 🙂

Janicel|Yvethe|Laura|Hannah: 4 Ways to Look like a Mermaid

When Bb. Pilipinas International 2015 Janicel Lubina, Bb. Pilipinas Supranational 2014 Yvethe Santiago, Bb. Pilipinas 2014 1st Runner-Up Laura Lehmann and Bb. Pilipinas 2015 1st Runner-Up Hannah Ruth Sison were brought by David’s Salon for their first overseas hair fashion shoot in the Affinage Australia HQs in Brisbane, little did they know about the actual difficulty levels of the project they signed up for.

In particular, Laura (according to David’s Salon Marketing Manager Lotte Villarosa-Agraviador) underwent the most complex (and cry-worthy) hair transformation as it took practically the whole day to achieve what the brand has assigned for her final look. I was also told that any hair care professional-wannabe cannot single-handedly do what a team of professionals toiled over. Hannah had the easiest procedure because the two-colored braids were not as complicated to accomplish. Yvethe had a relatively trying time as well but not to the point of almost wearing her out. Lastly, Janicel looked like she had the hardest-to-achieve hair, but it actually was not as demanding as the rest.

So now, may I present to you the Mermaid Hair Collection of David’s Salon in cooperation with Affinage Australia.


If you’re game enough, try booking an appointment at one of the flagship branches of David’s Salon to get the mermaid look and stand out wherever you go. 😉

Looking for Laura Lehmann 2.0

Could 2017 be the Year Laura Lehmann is waiting for?

Last night, Arnold Mercado of Aces & Queens posted a teaser of a Facebook update where his only caption of the photo of Laura Lehmann went like: “Are you ready for @iamlauralehmann?“. It was something that was immediately lapped up by all fans and followers of the Bb. Pilipinas 2014 1st Runner-Up as an encouraging indication that she is indeed seriously contemplating on whether to greenlight her joining this year.

Prior to the above, Laura posted a photo in her Instagram account – the one where she was awarded 1st Runner-Up last April 2014 with the caption: “Missing Pageants”.

Will we finally see the return of Laura Victoria Lehmann in the nationals? I bet a lot of you will agree that she will make this batch more competitive. All throughout her low-key pageant years, she has honed her skills in hosting and public speaking. This should prepare her well for the upcoming screenings.

So has the search for Laura Lehmann 2.0 finally ended? Your guess is as good as mine! 😀

Sunday Senti Specials: Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach last January 12, 2014

Since the Search for Bb. Pilipinas 2017 is now officially open, let me do a Sunday Senti Special feature that will bring you back to January 12, 2014. That was the date when Aces & Queens presented their trained candidates for Bb. Pilipinas 2014 – a very promising list which included Laura Lehmann (who went on to become 1st Runner-Up), Yvethe Santiago (who bagged the Bb. Pilipinas Supranational plum) and Bianca Guidotti (who was crowned Bb. Pilipinas International). Other ladies who formed part of that group were KC Halili (who became Miss Manila) and Hannah dela Guerra (who is now a Star Magic talent for ABS-CBN).

This was Pia Wurtzbach 2.0 – her sophomore effort to win the Miss Universe Philippines sash which went to MJ Lastimosa instead, and the finals night that would go down memory lane as the saddest for now Miss Universe 2015 who crowned the 65th less than a week ago. Such is the test of faith and determination that befell her shoulders three years earlier. Who would have thought that her patience was just being tested, and that more than a year after – in her 3.0 and final Bb. Pilipinas-bound version – that she would finally nail the title of her dreams and become the country’s 3rd Miss Universe in the process.

I used these old photos for this senti feature because we will be flooded with repeaters and crossovers for the 2017 edition. In fact, I have only posted one fresh face so far – Patricia Magtanong – so let’s see which other first-timers will find it in their heart and guts to battle it out with the relatively more polished and experienced ones. 🙂

Laura Lehmann for Folded & Hung

Go find Laura’s billboard along EDSA
If you happen to be passing along EDSA and chanced upon this billboard of Folded & Hung with the huge photo of a gorgeous girl getting your attention, then that’s Laura Lehmann alright, our dear Bb. Pilipinas 2014 1st Runner-Up who is doing the clothing brand’s Disney line.

Of course, we have been constantly egging her to rejoin Bb. Pilipinas. And hopefully, the request won’t come to naught come 2017. She will be really prepared by then.

In the meantime, watch this video of Laura taken at The Farm in Masinloc. She remains always beautiful and crown-worthy. 😉

Laura Lehmann: The right time to re-join Bb. Pilipinas?

Could 2016 be the right time Bb. Pilipinas for Laura Lehmann?

 
One of my blog’s regular readers engaged me in a chat that really piqued my curiosity. I must admit that I still haven’t looked at the connection right away, and even considered it a remote advantage in a way. But you all know that my favorite girl Laura Victoria Lehmann is half-American. And that part of her lineage is actually Jewish. And the new owner of Miss Universe – WME/IMG’s Ari Emmanuel – is Jewish. So logic dictates that sending someone like Laura could be advantageous in terms of going for a back-to-back win in Miss Universe.

Crazy idea? I’ll take the potshot alright. But if you really try to look at things from that standpoint, it doesn’t sound far-fetched at all. Of course, someone would oppose by saying that the next Miss Israel could even be 100% Jewish so why not favor her? Hmmmm.

Anyways, regardless of the connection, I always see Laura as having the right ingredient to win big in the nationals should she try joining for a 2nd time. After placing 1st Runner-Up last year, she could be ripe for the picking for 2016. And more polished, I might add. She is now a trained Sports Commentator so the natural elements of speaking in front of the camera are already in place. And besides, the natural charm has never been lost. It got stronger even.

So Team Lehmann for Bb. Pilipinas 2016? 🙂

Will Laura’s Jewish connection by blood be an advantage for Miss Universe Philippines?

Screenshot_2015-10-04-17-22-22~2 I can remember last year when – after winning 1st Runner-Up during Bb. Pilipinas 2014 – Laura Victoria Lehmann moved on quite fast, enrolled for her university studies at Ateneo de Manila and was taken in by ABS-CBN Sports as one of the UAAP Courtside Reporters for her school. She was tailor-made for the job. Aside from being beautiful (inside and out), she always had this sporty vibe that endeared her to basketball fans all over.

Now that a new set of replacements have taken over for UAAP’s latest season, let us look back at one of the memorable crowd checks she did for a game that showed her rallying her fellow Ateneans with such fire and fervor.

Watch the video now.
