Diligent Discovery

This reality show discovery (D) seems to be having a better career these days. Upon transferring, D was immediately fielded into various teleseryes and she was able to gain some following. Her other claim to fame is that of having a relationship that was confirmed only when it ended. For a time, D was never publicly  acknowledged by her matinee idol boyfriend. In contrast, her current relationship with a fellow actor is out in the open. In between takes, D is studying to be a pastor. People in the studio have noticed that D is diligent when it comes to studying the Word. It seems D is into life-long learning. After all, D is one personality who can say that she can fly.

Can you guess the identity of D and the past and present men in her life? 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.

No Typical Elevator Habit

Image courtesy of www.fotolia .com

This tv host/actress (HA) knows too well that she isn't pretty, as in "movie star" pretty. She had previously gone under the knife but she denies it to death. Being so vain and full of herself, she takes great pain to conceal or at least soften her physical flaws especially before the camera and in front of people she meets daily.

In her weekly tv show, you'll notice how conscious HA is of her looks and constantly checks her camera angle. She maybe a comedian, too, but people who know her vouch for her big attitude problems and a weird habit.

When you happen to share an elevator ride with HA, especially when it is full, she would always hide her face from the other passengers by turning her back and facing the wall. She stays in that position until she reaches her desired floor. After which, she looks straight out as if she's not seeing anything and anyone. Then, she hurriedly heads out and leaves the other passengers bewildered.

Who know who HA is? What could be the reason for her weird elevator habit? 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.

Always Disdainful, Overbearing, and Proud

Image courtesy of www.wordpandit.com

In showbiz, most responsible stars and celebrities know only too well that behaving badly in public is 10 times more magnified, as when they do otherwise. They therefore try as much to remain proper and treat people right, as they owe their status to their viewing public. But this tv host (TH) just wouldn't care - being nice is just not her cup of tea.

At a recent exhibit where TH participated, she turned off some people who witnessed just how snooty she was in person. She was looking at a booth of a co-exhibitor when a pretty staff politely and smilingly approached her to say something related to the exhibit. TH just looked at her, then rudely brushed her aside and walked away. People who witnessed were shocked. The poor girl was so embarrassed.

Do you know who TH is? 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.

Stingy Actor

Image courtesy of www.georgewatts.org

A driver of a hunk actor (H) resigned from his entourage citing the extreme thriftiness of H. The driver cited the low pay and the lack of holiday and overtime pay. It seems that the pockets of H might be as stiff as his acting assignments. Incidentally, a relative of the driver does the laundry for the family of H who are residing in a province. Sadly, the laundry woman only gets P300 regardless of the numerous clothes given to her. From the amount, she has to pay for her transportation as the family lives far. 

Can you guess the identity of H? Does his nickname have something to do with his being stingy? 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.

I Quit

  Image courtesy of www.bobbiemel.com

Veteran host actress (VH) apparently did not leave her show quietly in contrast to the press releases as to why she left. VH got fed up with the way her show was running. She walked out, said she does not want to continue anymore, and declared, “I quit!” The production said that VH was very meticulous with the script and would request rewrites, even of the idiot board. The only thing lacking was her interference in the plugs of the show. VH can be such pain, according to the staff. However, the fact that VH is part of a religious group can have something to do with how she wants the show to flow. Besides, such a show demands so much from the host and very few hosts are cut to deal with such a format. Unlike her other shows that ended when she quit, her show is continuing with the network experimenting with younger actresses as hosts.

Can you guess the identity of VH? 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.

Ungraceful Gallops

In one of the concerts of this host comedian (H), the audience did what was expected. They laughed at his corny jokes and did not mind the repetition. H was able to entertain the audience as usual. Then, the production staff started to sense that H was going to do something different just before the closing number. He insisted on performing a song that was not in the guide flow of the show. Hence, it would affect the coherence of the program. H said he told someone in the production earlier that he wanted to sing a song for his grandmother. Of course, the production people doubted this excuse. They knew he was just being hardheaded and wanted to get his way done. Much to their dismay, H got his way this time.

In another incident, just before the taping of his show, H started vomiting and complained that he was not feeling well. H asked to be rushed to the hospital and the taping was packed up because of his “sickness.” The production team was very upset because the setup cost almost one million and the show had already scheduled a guest artist. One of the higher ups decided to investigate secretly. H has a reputation of going on a gimmick on the eve of a workday and disregarding the call time for his daily show. The investigation revealed that H was indeed out the whole night before the taping. Now, the head wants H to shoulder the cost of the wastage of the resources caused by his irresponsible absence.

It’s not all the time that H can ride into the sunset. Do you know who he is? 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.

Eccentric Behavior

Image courtesy of www.city-data.com

In a concert, music icon (M) and girlfriend (G) were spotted in a corner getting physical with one another. M noticed that cameras were pointed at them. He requested the camera people not to show on TV any footage of him and G. M said he did not want other people to know who was with him in the concert. The people found this strange because he and G are publicly acknowledged as a couple. However, they were too chummy that night and onlookers had comments, such as “get a room.” Another angle has it that M is also seeing a fashion personality (P). P has denied any involvement with M but she is known for making denials, anyway. 

Do you know who M, G and P 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.

Letter from a Reader: Fierce and Fashionable?

Image courtesy of www.diytrade.com

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I am a regular reader of your blog. I find your blog a "complete package" as it is not just about showbiz stuff, but you also write about inspiring stories of ordinary people. And there's social responsibility, too, as you also address consumers' rights by providing them space in your blog. If only for that, I thank you, Fashion Pulis.

Anyway, I would like to relay to you a story about an American clothing retailer in the Philippines (AR) with several branches worldwide. I came to realize that its Philippine branch seems to be duping its local clientelle.

My teenage kids and I are regular shoppers at AR. Aside from the shop's cool interior, we also like the trendy and hip designs of its varied collections. Although prices may not really be cheap, but the thought that we're buying quality is enough to justify the cost. As they say - quality has a price.

But lately, we are often disappointed to find out that quality ceases to be AR's major turn-on anymore. Slowly we are getting suspicious of their products. To be honest about it, we did our own investigation to satisfy our curiosity and disgust. And lo and behold, what did we find out?

Some of AR's merchandise are not originally made in USA. For one, we found out that some of its fashion accessories are just copied/outsourced from a major local retailer, stamped with AR's name and then sold at double, and more often, triple the price. What a big let-down!

The (mal)practice is real. But if not addressed properly, the damage will even be greater. With competition in the industry getting intense, this is the last thing that AR needs. As they say in business - it takes years to build a good reputation, but only minutes to ruin it.

Yours truly,
A. Salvador

Jessica Sanchez: Sweet Dreams

Watch Your Back

Some reporters went on a set-visit. One reporter (R1) saw a friend (R2) in the set and shouted, “Bakla!” to call the attention of his fellow Becky. Coincidentally, this singer (S), who is rumoured to be in the closet, was walking towards another reporter when R1 hollered. R2 looked at where R1 was and to their surprise, even S turned around. When S realized what he did, he glared at R1.

Incidentally, S and a good-looking talent (G), whose tagline includes the city where he grew up, are getting along well. S is so into G that he allows G to bring his straight friends to make their meetings look like a group gimmick. Hence, anyone who sees them would think it is nothing more than an innocent boys’ night out. However, only after everyone has left, does the real date begin. As to where S and G go for their private moment, we can only surmise.

However, there’s more to this. S is still involved with someone who works in an airline (A). It seems that S is dating G on the side. Moreover, there is already some suspicion that S brings G to the house A maintains.

No wonder S can really hit those high notes! Do you know who he is? How about G? 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.

Shirley Lam on Women's Health

Congratulations to My Thinspiration, Shirley Lam! I posted her inspirational story on Fashion PULIS last November 2011. Since then, she has already been featured on several magazines and TV shows. I hope her story continues to inspire more readers. 

Forgetting His Lines

 Image courtesy of www.clker.com 

This endorser (E) is proud that he is the current image model of the latest product line of a fast food chain. What makes him prouder is that he even sang the jingle of the TV commercial. During the press launch of the TVC, E was asked to sing the jingle. E left the audience speechless because he lip-synched his song! The sad part was that many noticed that E was mouthing off incorrect lyrics. Some were feeling pain in watching E because other than his inability to master the song, the owners of the country’s franchise were in the audience. It was not the best time for E to embarrass himself because people in the industry know that the franchise owner is musically gifted.

After the incident, the audience hoped that E would be better prepared in his next events. He cannot survive in the business only out of his cuteness factor.

Can you guess the identity of E? 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.

Over Exposed or Merely Exhausted?

 Image courtesy of www.aperfectworld.org

Media entertainer (ME) staged her concert in a city down south. The venue was jampacked as ME commands a following these days. The audience noticed that one of the guests, a veteran impersonator had longer exposure than ME. When ME said that her song was the last, the audience was disappointed and had the gut feeling that there seemed to be more.

After the concert, some of the viewers felt shortchanged as they were expecting to give her best just like in her Manila concert. Then, some of them learned that ME still had three songs left but she had to cut it because she was already very tired and was afraid she might bore the audience.

ME must really be exhausted as she is seen on TV every day giving her all. She is also emerging to be the most in demand endorser. Sadly, her detractors say she is already overexposed. Nonetheless, ME has to pay for what her fame now demands even if it means going beyond her talent but she should never ever shortchange her audience.

Do you know who ME is? 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.
