Sorry, We’re Not Buying

Media Executive (ME) instructed a member of her staff (HS) to present a marketing proposal for a high-end automobile brand. In exchange for featuring the brand in its various magazines, ME requested for a car. HS did her part and delivered what was expected. However, the automobile company rejected the offer. ME got irked when she heard the explanation and rejection of HS. ME reprimanded HS and berated the staff for not doing the work properly.

Perhaps feeling slighted by the rejection, ME just wouldn't budge. She did the unexpected and decided to do the presentation herself and again, requested for the ex-deal. Sadly, the car company was firm in its decision and declined the offer the second time around. ME left very disappointed and embarrassed. As the head of the company, it is not in her job description to do what she did for she has a staff to take care of such matters. And yet, even she got rejected. Certainly, the act only made ME look cheap and desperate.

Well, at least, ME gave it a shot. However, getting mad at the staff was uncalled for. Did not ME realize that the automobile company might still be trying to re-establish itself after it closed shop some years ago? Hence, exchanging one of their cars for ad placements did not seem like a sound investment at that point.

Excited Screen Partner

Image courtesy of www.mvelzquez86.wordpress.com

Young actor (YA) was too drunk to drive home after the drinking lasted until early morning. Instead of attempting to drive himself home, he did the smart thing by asking someone to drive for him to bring him home. As the friend got on the wheel, he smiled when he saw women stuff at the backseat. There were even pairs of shoes. Obviously, YA did not own any of these things. Coincidentally, a screen partner (SP) sent YA a message stating that she wanted to get her stuff later that night. SP also asked if she could sleep at YA’s pad.

The friend again smiled at SP's  message and wondered why she wanted to be with YA that night. Rumors have it that YA possesses something interesting. Does that something make SP excited? Whatever it is that makes SP fond of YA will keep us guessing. However, just recently, YA denied that something other than friendship is happening between him and SP. This comment of SP disappointed many fans hoping that their partnership in an afternoon soap would result to something real. SP and YA do look good together. SP added that both of them are looking forward to getting paired off with other performers.

Chatterbox Newcomer Exposes Pal's Secret

Teen actor (TA) and blooming young actress (BY) are making a splash as screen partners in a fantasy series. TA and BY are in their mid-teens and started quite early as child star performers. TA's father used to be part of a popular dance group in showbiz decades ago. Both TA and BY began their careers with another network before getting lead roles in a soap currently airing in their present network. Meanwhile, they have a friend, chatterbox boy (CB), who was discovered in a tv commercial, and like TA and BY had also done lead roles on TV soap. CB exudes a certain charm on screen that makes him ideal to play sidekick or best friend of the lead actor.

As the soap began airing and tapings were done regularly, both TA and BY admitted to getting closer to one another. Gradually their closeness developed into something more serious. TA and BY were falling in love and have kept their relationship a secret. Presently, both are aware that they are not yet allowed to get into a bf-gf status owing to their very young age. Then, CB for reasons only known to him told BY's parents about her having a relationship with TA. BY's parents were so upset upon learning of the affair, and worse, having everything hidden from them. The parents think both were too young to get into anything serious, believing that such a relationship might distract them from their careers.

Naturally, TA felt betrayed by CB. He thought they were friends all along having been working together in the series. He never thought for a second that CB would squeal on them. TA felt so bad that he wanted to get even. And he did so by revealing CB’s “dirty little secrets” to their friends. Secrets that are so sensitive involving non-showbiz and innocent people.

Sadly, at their young age, TA, BY, and CB are already caught in the web of secrets, mistrust, and betrayal.

Letter from a Reader: Wrong Credit

Assunta de Rossi-Ledesma, 2012 SONA 

Assunta de Rossi-Ledesma, 2011 SONA

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I am an aspiring fashion designer. I built my clientele over the years thru referrals without using and hiring any PR to do it for me. I am a one-woman show.

I have no paid advertisement to any form of media except some features in Bridal Magazines. Those were struggling years indeed, that paid off eventually in the end.

It is a great experience and pride to get noticed by celebrities and other high-profile personalities and  get me to make clothes for them.

One of them is my friend Assunta de Rossi - Ledesma who tasked me to create gowns for her for the  SONA 2011 and 2012.

Both gowns were featured in Stylebible.ph, and I was quite proud of that. Being new in the fashion industry, having my creation featured in that fashion magazine was certainly big an achievement.  However an "error" was committed as the dress was credited in favor of Mr. Rajo Laurel.

I hate to think that this is a common practice done by some known and pompous designer towards a fellow designer of my status.

I am sharing this with you so that other designers will be forewarned. This negligence that has not been rectified may cause me to lose opportunities.

Thank you very much, Fashion PULIS for taking the time to accommodate this letter in your blog.

Respectfully yours,

Sheryl Vicente

Along the Path of Recovery

When she says she has moved on, this martyr actress (MA) means it. Recently, some reporters were stunned by the openness of MA in sharing stories about her previous relationship. MA said she would see used rubber in the trash bin in her ex boyfriend's pad. When she would ask her ex-boyfriend (EB) about it, he would come up with several reasons and stories that were obviously just alibis. MA shrugged off these episodes and suppressed her doubts because she loved EB that much. MA lived through all the stories of the philandering EB for the sake of their relationship. Except for this story, MA never really spoke of the sufferings she endured in her relationships with him.

Meanwhile, these past months, EB has downplayed his playboy image and all his press releases have focused on his career plans. In contrast, MA has indeed moved on by finding comfort in the arms of a loving actor.

Can you identify who MA and EB  are? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.
