The life story of Evolving Actor EA is a pleasant inspiration. Not many knew the extent of EA’s less-than-charmed life before showbiz beckoned. EA, who came from a destitute, in dirt poor background had experienced extreme hardship and hunger at a very young age. But the self-reliant and confident EA did not allow poverty to get in the way of his dreams for himself and his family.
EA grabbed every job opportunity he could lay his hands on - name it, he did it. He peddled everything, from rugs to vegetables to cigarettes to various sea foods at the market. No job was too hard for him as he knew it would help put food on the family table. Their poverty hit its lowest when they lost their home and had to live at a vacant lot somewhere.
It was reportedly at this point when EA met a Gay Businessman GB. Already good-looking back then, it was inevitable that EA attracted all genders. Heard from the grapevine that it was GB who helped and took care of EA for years. This GB loved EA so much and was so generous to him. He helped EA financially, paid for his schooling, and the like. To be fair to EA, he did not abuse GB’s love and generosity, as he also took jobs as much as he could.
Fast-tracked to present. Gifted with talent and humility, EA is now comfortably living with his family and is one of the industry’s respected actors/artists. Recently, he learned about the sad plight of his former benefactor, that the aging GB is down and out and is in dire straits. EA lost no time and offered help. Reportedly, he dispatched people to assist GB, while EA paid for his hospital bills and medicines, got him a caregiver, and some extra for GB’s upkeep.
Does this article ring a bell to you, dear readers? Is this feel-good story similar to that of a Young Actor YA we once featured on FP whose heart was torn apart when he heard of the predicament that befell his former lover? EA and YA’s ways of paying back are indeed rare and commendable. No wonder, the universe has continuously rewarded them. As Gandhi declared: “ Be the change you want to see. “
Good karma – anyone?
“Together we can change the world, one good deed at a time.”

Not Living Up to the Agreement

In recent years, showbusiness has seen the rise in the hiring of stylists to assure that a celebrity will not have to worry about what to wear and how to look in his/her guestings, photoshoots, and appearances. When celebrities are praised for their taste and appearance, the stylist sometimes gets part credit. Thus, some stylists have become as famous as some of their clients, which translates to gaining a reputation and good business on their part. With a good name and the roster of celebrity clients, a high profile stylist can easily gain the trust of designers, clothing brands, accessory suppliers, among others.
Unfortunately, not all stylists have lived up to their reputation and to their end of the bargain. When fashion designer (FD) entrusted his gown to noted stylist (NS), FD did not realize that NS would take him and his reputation for granted. NS borrowed a gown from FD for the concert of most-talked about performer (MP). NS promised to pay FD for the gown, and the waiting began. The concert was over and so much has happened between then and now, and still, no word was heard from NS.
When MP contacted FD to borrow a gown for her big hosting event, FD turned her down. FD told MP that the gown she used for her shows, was neither paid nor returned. Embarrassed, MP had no recourse, as she did not know what transpired between FD and NS. Even if MP might have had her faux pas in the past, she has never been known to be in any incident that would question her word of honor, especially when dealing with her sponsors and high profile persons.
Then, from out of the blue, FD received a call from NS, but he did not bother with the call. It was not so much of the money that FD was after, as he would not have mind if NS only returned the gown after MP's event. It was the lack of respect that NS that disappointed FD. Another incident that showed how much NS disrespects designers was when she returned a gown a young actress used in a network’s big formal event. The gown was sent through a friend - bundled in a paper bag.
As NS dabbles in the high profile social circles, such behavior tarnishes her reputation. The question is if she could do that to FD, what more for the lesser-known designers and suppliers? What if her clients actually paid for the use of gowns, but payment never reached the designers? Then, that would be worse.
The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow. – William Pollard
