Maraming ganyan, pero hindi lahat. Ang nakakatawa pa, the more mas chaka yung Fashionista or Stylist or whatever, the more na mas malakas ang "GGSS factor" nila.
inggit ka naman. at least may ebidensiya na he's living the life and he is part of the circle, whether a big part or not, he somehow belongs. he travels the world, meets the most elusive fashion icons/personalities, gets paid for doing what he does best. may karapatan namang magtaray siya paminsan-minsan. at di naman nya nalilimutan na pinoy siya kahit kelan, he looks and breaths pinoy.
Da who ang mga tinamaan? Sa totoo lang wala akong naintindihan e parang si ramon bautista lang din nagmamalalim e shallow naman pag bumuka na ang bibig!
Beauty internal or not exudes what is good, encouraging and inspires everyone. Best of all, it is devoid of insecurity. See I have to Google image Lourd's face and after seeing his picture, I stared at the window and realized the night is bleak, sad and lonely. What a coincidence...
I agree completely. Pero, ang nakakainis minsan kasi dahil sa sobrang pagiging "fashyown" ng iba hindi nila nare-realize na SHALLOW na silang tao at puro pisikal ang inaatupag.
......uhm, may punto naman sa mga ibang bagay. Pero na off the track ako sa maitim na siko at tuhod, so may pagka "fashionista pintasera" din sya. Sa palagay ko mas makabuluhan naman sa Pilipinas ang mga akda ni Jose Rizal. Wapakels tayo sa mga karanasan ni Hemmingway. Jorge Luis Borges? May pagka satire at sarcasm ang pag banggit ni koya kay Hemmingway at Borges pero name dropping ang dating ni koya, ah. Mas makabuluhan sa ating lipunan ang mga akda ng mga magagaling din na mga makatang Pinoy. Di ko mawari kung satire at sarcasm talaga ang tumbok ni koya. O sya sana ay mabenta ang libro mo. Pasalamat ka sa mga fashownista at iba pa na tinumbok mo sa iyong aklat. Kung wala sila wala ka ring magagamit na theme.
On the contrary, I think ang pinupunto niya is bakit kailangan sobra natin laitin ang iba dahil sa marami silang physical flaws. Ang dami na nakabalandra ang lahat ng branded na damit, sapatos at kung ano-ano pa pero kung magsalita may sense ba?
Ang statement na ito ay nagsusumigaw na Pansinin nyo ako, galing sa ukay ukay ang mga suot ko dahil naniniwala ako na di kailangan ng mahal na kasuotan at stylist para maging stylish. Babangitin ko din ang mga Philosophers tulad nina Socrates at Plato dahil gusto kong malaman nyo na matalino ako sa inyo mga stylist, make up artist, fashionista, etc.
Hindi naman nya pinupunto ang style ng kasuotan, may mas malaking mensahe pa sya na malamang hindi mo naintindihan. Isa sa ka sa mga majority ng mga pinoy at naiintindihan ko kung bakit.
Ang comment ni ANON 12:33 am ay nagsusumigaw na Pansinin nyo ako. Mahilig akong mag-skim ng sinasabi ng isang tao at kunin lang ang select bits para pwede ko i-mock even though hindi ko naiintindihan ang sinasabi nung tao nor do I have an open mind to consider it.
I totally get what Lourd is saying kasi marami sa mga wanna-be Fashionistas eh SHALLOW, pero hindi naman lahat. True, marami sa mga nasa industry na yan eh bukod sa shallow na nga eh napaka-taas pa ng tingin sa sarili, pero hindi naman lahat. Besides, wala namang bago sa mga sinabi ni Lourd--most people who are NOT keen on fashion or couldn't care any less for the latest trends eh yan din ang sinasabi. Yung mga butthurt comments lang here are focusing on Lourd kasi sya yung nag-vocalize.
Sabog ng diwa mo dude! Kanya-kanyang trip yan. Kung trip mo tumulong sa mga nasalanta gawin mo, kung trip mong tumulong sa ibang tao habang naka Tom Ford ka na salamin gawin mo. Walang pakialamanan ng trip. Nagpapakalalim pero ang babaw naman. Tsssss.
Kanya kanyang trip yan. Ang tawag dyan preference. Wala tayong karapatang husgahan ang preference ng isang tao. Parang sa music din yan e, parang pagidolo sa artista. Hindi mo pwede ikahon ang isang tao.
I think hindi naman the fashion industry per se ang tinitira nya but ang pagiging obsessed na ng marami sa atin sa kung anong sikat, uso at branded. Di ba napaka-harsh din ng marami kapag awards night dahil may mga damit na kesho di bagay o kasuklam-suklam? Iisipin natin marami ba sa mga uso ngayon ang bagay talaga sa atin? Kung pagsusuotin ba ng basahan ang artistang maputi may mababago sa reaksyon ng mga tao sa kanya? Pero kapag isang taong maitim, maraming galis at bungi ba ang nagsuot ng designer gown anong sasabihin ng mga tao sa kanya?
Paligoy ligoy pa si Lourd. Ang point lang naman niya, marami kasing shallow sa fashion industry. At ang dami pang poser. Have you guys seen the Jimmy Kimmel clip of them interviewing random people at NYFW?
True! Ang daming butthurt na pinoy kasi mga fasyownizta daw sila LOL
well in a way tama naman si Lourd at etong mga make up artists na natamaan niya eh grabe maka react! Nasaktan kayo no? Eh totoo naman ang sinasabi niya. I know one make up artist charge P50,000-P65,000 per makeup session. Ganun ba talaga ka "artist" yang nga yan at ganyan maka singil? LOL even if i have the money to spend I wont bother doing it. Sa halagang yun dapat maging kamukha mo na si Marian Rivera pagkatapos LOL
Sir Lourd. Magiging biased ako at papanigan ko sya dahil gusto ko sya mag isip. Tama naman kasi, sa ngayon mas binibigyan pa ng halaga yung tatak at presyo ng sinusuot kaysa sa laman ng utak at silbi sa lipunan.
We often say na "beauty is only skin deep". Pero ang problema kasi sa culture of vanity natin ngayon eh sobrang critical, and that leads to fashion personalities being shallow people.
Ang ampalaya kinakain hindi inuugali. Dapat gumawa ka rin ng datire tungkol sa itsura mo. Halatang marami kang insecurities sa itsura mo. Panget ka pa rin kahit may makuha kang stylist!
Naisip ko lang, kung naging gwapo at maganda katawan ni Lourd, susulat kaya siya ng ganito? Kung naging mayaman siya at wala na pag lagyan ang pera niya, bibili ka ng tiangge na damit?
True laley. Okay naman sya magsulat kaya lang hindi ko nagustuhan yung tinitira nya yung mga guys na may abs. Ang tunay na lalake wala daw abs. As a doctor, maganda talaga anng advocacy ng health and fitness. Just because he's too lazy for that, basta wala sa kanya ang quality, nilalait nya
Agree to both of you, anon 1:25 and 2:51. I am sure hindi ganyan ang pag-iisip nya kung physically blessed siya. I believe yan ang paraan nya para maging relevant. Binanawi na lang nya sa mga philosophical thinking ek-ek nya, na beauty is skin deep, echos. So yes, most prolly hindi sha susulat ng ganyan.
I agree on some of his points, but then again, why be critical to those who differ in self expression than his own? That's hardly fair. Shouldn't we all live by the mantra, "To each his own". Furthermore, why rely solely on self-expression as a means to make a mark in society? Is it not what we do that defines us? Yes, it is quite annoying to come across someone who loves brandishing every article of clothing that they have. Just let them be, it's only hurting the eyes and hitting a nerve. Not something to get your knickers twisted on. There are far more relevant issues out there that deserve your attention.
Natatawa ako sa mga butthurt na comment. Kung hindi "nagmamarunong" eh hindi nila naiintindihan. I think sinulat ni Lourd yung libro just for the likes of you--mga shallow people.
People are missing the point. Lourd is trying to get people to engage in an intellectual discussion of what we (madlang pipol) considers beautiful and meaningful. He is right in a way because our society is heavily influenced by these so called fashionistas and all sorts of stylists through tv, film and print ads. There needs to be a balance on what is superficially beautiful and beauty that doesn't come from what you look on the outside but with your thoughts, what and how you do things, how you express yourself in writing or speech or even movement and how you conduct yourself towards others. There are many ways how one can be beautiful.
asan ang derogatory duon? sometimes the truth really is so sharp and hurting that the majority would usually think that it is something that is already derogatory.
look around you, at makikita mo na ang derogatory statements daw niya ay ang tunay na nangyayari ngayuon sa kasalukuyan nating realidad. peace honey.
Read through the comments and many would say he is being profound though his physical attributes do not justify the angst that is in this satirical speech. Sad to break the news but, that's his point exactly! Many people are so shallow on their perception of beauty and fashion as if someone commits a crime for wearing an unflattering dress or for having a "less than appealing" face.
so sa panghuhusga mo sa mga fashionista feeling mo you're better than them na? Kung sa tingin mo superficial sila hindi ba ganun ka rin dahil hinuhusgahan mo sila base sa pananamit nila. Dati ang baba ng tingin mo sa mainstream media pero ito ka ngayon nasa billboards, commercials, at tv5 ka na.
Just let them be... sino ba ang ayaw mag mukhang maganda or attractive? kanya kanyang trip lang yan... i do buy from ukay and i buy sa dept store lang pag sale but i won't judge anyone who buys branded clothes... as long as it's not my money (directly) or indirectly (nakaw na yaman)
masyado sya maraming ipinaglalaban sa buhay! nakalimutan yata nya na sa propesyon nya eh malaking bagay ang nagagaw at naitutulong ng mga stylist at make up artist, may mga fashion stylist na nag kakawang gawa pero kelangan pa ba i broadcast yun? baka naman wala sya nun at di pa nya na exoerience na mabihisan at mayusan ng stylist sa tv5? kaya mukha syang dugyot at di naliligo everytime nasa tv sya.. if sa news at current affairs ka dapat at least man lang presentable ka.. yan ang hirap pag nag papaka feeling henyo ending tuloy nag mumukha ka lalong tanga at ignorante sa mga sinasabi mo..
This is not even worth a publish. Ang babaw ng ideyolohismo ng taong ito. Nagpapatalino, feeling lang naman. Daming sabi. Wala naman sya silbi sa lipunan. Try reading FP's blogs, para malaman nya tamang pagsusulat, yung may sense. Malalim at makahulugan.
Nagsusulat si Lourd based on his point of view and based on what he understands. Pero alam ba niya talaga kung paano tumatakbo ang buhay ng mga fashion stylist? Stereo typing kasi ginagawa nya e. Parang you have seen one, you have seen them all. I think kt is unfair to label them as walang pakialam sa current issues at walang ginagawa para sa mga less fortunates. Tigilan mo na to, Lourd. Like what Jasmine said, i agree on some of your views but dito sa pinupunto mo, you are being unfair
"I think what I often see it that people are frightened about fashion. Because it scares them or make them feel insecure they just put it down. On the whole people that may say, the demeaning things about our world I think that's usually because they feel, in some ways, excluded or, you know, not a part of 'the cool group' so as a result they just mock it. Just because you like to put on a beautiful Carolina Herrera dress or a pair of J Brand blue jeans instead of something basic from K-Mart it doesn't mean that you're a dumb person. There is something about fashion that can make people really nervous." - Anna Wintour
"Oh. Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your orocan aparador and you select... I don't know... that lumpy blue hat, for instance because YOU'RE TRYING SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HARD TO CONVICE THE WORLD THAT YOU TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY TO CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU COVER YOUR BALDING HEAD. But what you don't know is that that hat is not just blue, it's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent... wasn't it who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the SM department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. HOWEVER, THAT BLUE REPRESENTS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND COUNTLESS JOBS and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the hat that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff." - Miranda Priestly
Nagsulat sya ng ganyan dahil nilait sya ng nga "fasyown", I guess wala syang pinagkaiba sa mga lumait sa kanya. Ingat brad, baka maging ramon bautista ka. Maging unknown ka bigla
Tigilan ang Instagram para walang makitang mga #ootd. Tapos ang issue mo.
AnonymousSeptember 19, 2014 at 11:59 AM Exactly! The very first thing that popped in my head! That scene! That's the exact response to Lourd's column. May reply ka naman pala from years back from a fictional character eh!
So anong point nya? If you really did understand. Pls paki explain. This is the first article of Lourd that I didn't like, I read his book compilations too.®
I dont get yung paglait Sa maitim Na siko and then naka Tom Ford sya. ITS just hypocrite Ang dating.... Eh ANO naman kung naka Prada basta ba hindi ninanakaw at pinaghirapan Ang pambili...
whatever fashion statement a person wants to make is none of your business. actually, it's really interesting how you made time to write an article about fashion. it seems like you've thought a lot to come up with different points of view to sound eloquent and intellectual. in fair view, i think you had good intentions why you wrote this, but the outcome didn't seem to match up with your intentions.
nonetheless, i would like to congratulate you for getting the people's attention. hindi ba parte naman yan ng trabaho mo? i think that's the most successful thing about this article, not much of the content but for catching the readers' attention... mas controversial, mas maraming perang makukuha.
Hindi ako bibili ng libro dahil wala akong salapi. Hindi rin naman ito magiging requirement basahin sa eskwelahan dahil hindi naman kapitapitagan ang pagkakasulat dito. Ito ay hinanaing lamang at patunay na isinulat buhat sa pagkainis, mababaw ang mga argumento at itinutumbok.
Sa walong taon ko na pag aaral ng human behaviour alam ko kung anu problema ng taong ito, at yun nagtulak sa kanya na isulat ito. Sa mundo natin ngayon we cannot live backwards and stay unmove. May mga bagay talaga na mababago at kailangan natin tanggapin yun. Pagbabago sa pananaw at paguugali ng tao. Tinatamad na ako isa isahin ang punto por punto ng sumulat nito. I encourage everyone to dress up and move forward. Walang umaasenso sa hindi marunong makisabay sa pagbabago.
Tama naman si Lourd, lalo yang si Bryan Boy mayabang. Kung umasta kala mo di Pinoy tse.
ReplyDeleteMaraming ganyan, pero hindi lahat. Ang nakakatawa pa, the more mas chaka yung Fashionista or Stylist or whatever, the more na mas malakas ang "GGSS factor" nila.

DeleteHahaha OA nga si bryan boy.
DeleteDa who ang mga tinamaan? Sa totoo lang wala akong naintindihan e parang si ramon bautista lang din nagmamalalim e shallow naman pag bumuka na ang bibig!

Just because you like to put on a beautiful Carolina Herrera dress or a pair of J Brand blue jeans instead of something basic from K-Mart it doesn't mean that you're a dumb person. There is something about fashion that can make people really nervous." - Anna Wintour

Delete"Oh. Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your orocan aparador and you select... I don't know... that lumpy blue hat, for instance because YOU'RE TRYING SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HARD TO CONVICE THE WORLD THAT YOU TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY TO CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU COVER YOUR BALDING HEAD. But what you don't know is that that hat is not just blue, it's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent... wasn't it who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the SM department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. HOWEVER, THAT BLUE REPRESENTS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND COUNTLESS JOBS and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the hat that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff." - Miranda Priestly
ReplyDelete`this is exactly the same thing that went to my head when I was reading the article of lourd.
DeleteYou nailed it. :)
Deletepeople in the picture: georgina wilson, erwan heussaff and tim yap.
ReplyDeleteParang Bryan Boy yung 3rd teh.
DeleteHay naku Bryan Boy, tinuro mo pa si Tim Yap! Lol
DeleteNagsulat sya ng ganyan dahil nilait sya ng nga "fasyown", I guess wala syang pinagkaiba sa mga lumait sa kanya. Ingat brad, baka maging ramon bautista ka. Maging unknown ka bigla
ReplyDeleteI really don't think nilait siya ng fashyown. I don't think they even know he exists before this article.
DeleteJust to nitpick, why use the word "jokla" to term something that is not up to his taste, like being "jokla" is a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteI got that too, one of the reasons why it turned me off of the article
DeleteKunwari padeep pero homophobe naman. Tsk.
DeleteTigilan ang Instagram para walang makitang mga #ootd. Tapos ang issue mo.

Exactly! The very first thing that popped in my head! That scene! That's the exact response to Lourd's column. May reply ka naman pala from years back from a fictional character eh!
nagreply sa sarili ang shonga huli ka! hahahaha
Deletemagaling talagang manunulat si Lourd ! Tama sya at may point talaga! Mabuhay ka!
ReplyDeleteSo anong point nya? If you really did understand. Pls paki explain. This is the first article of Lourd that I didn't like, I read his book compilations too.®
DeleteI dont get yung paglait Sa maitim Na siko and then naka Tom Ford sya. ITS just hypocrite Ang dating.... Eh ANO naman kung naka Prada basta ba hindi ninanakaw at pinaghirapan Ang pambili...
ReplyDeleteFunny ang calamansi and steel brush sa maitim na siko and tuhod -- > Bianca G. Haha!
ReplyDeletedear lourd de vera,
ReplyDeletewhatever fashion statement a person wants to make is none of your business. actually, it's really interesting how you made time to write an article about fashion. it seems like you've thought a lot to come up with different points of view to sound eloquent and intellectual. in fair view, i think you had good intentions why you wrote this, but the outcome didn't seem to match up with your intentions.
nonetheless, i would like to congratulate you for getting the people's attention. hindi ba parte naman yan ng trabaho mo? i think that's the most successful thing about this article, not much of the content but for catching the readers' attention... mas controversial, mas maraming perang makukuha.
cheers!
It is actually his business, just like it is your business to react.
Deletepara syang male version nung kabayong host, dunung-dunungan.kunwari malalim.the gullible ones 'bilib'.
ReplyDeletepasikat at paandar lang yan ni lourd who doesnt have taste. ang pangit kaya nya
ReplyDeleteHindi ako bibili ng libro dahil wala akong salapi. Hindi rin naman ito magiging requirement basahin sa eskwelahan dahil hindi naman kapitapitagan ang pagkakasulat dito. Ito ay hinanaing lamang at patunay na isinulat buhat sa pagkainis, mababaw ang mga argumento at itinutumbok.
ReplyDeleteUy Lourd wag ka pupunta sa #NakedTruth haha puro mga FASHOWN dun di ka bagay. Haha
ReplyDeleteIt's the fat that makes you fat!
ReplyDeleteDesigned in Milan, Made in China, Overpriced in Philippines!
ReplyDeleteHahahah.
Deletenatawa din ako dito.
hahahah.
The thing is, habang binabasa ko 'to isa lang ang walang tigil na sinisigaw ng isip ko, "OMG! Bob Ong, welcome back brod!"
ReplyDeletemalamang napansin niya yan dahil alarming ang pag dami ng mga ggss na fashown kuno.
ReplyDeletei love fashion, pero di naman ako nainis sa sinabi niya. actually, for some reason, naisip ko na baka sha makatuluyan ni liz uy. : ]
@allegra: liz uy will not make parol to that guy noh?! ewwness overload,haler! jlc and atom a. ang taste nya!
ReplyDeleteSa walong taon ko na pag aaral ng human behaviour alam ko kung anu problema ng taong ito, at yun nagtulak sa kanya na isulat ito. Sa mundo natin ngayon we cannot live backwards and stay unmove. May mga bagay talaga na mababago at kailangan natin tanggapin yun. Pagbabago sa pananaw at paguugali ng tao. Tinatamad na ako isa isahin ang punto por punto ng sumulat nito. I encourage everyone to dress up and move forward. Walang umaasenso sa hindi marunong makisabay sa pagbabago.
ReplyDeleteCarlos Palanca awardee yang si lourd. You should read his works.
ReplyDeleteit's about time.
