Obsessing over Skin Color

One of the biggest discoveries of the network are two young actresses who started as unknown talents in a teleserye who ended up as household names. However, instead of putting them together in a project, the network has set them off separately.

Insecure discovery (ID) prides herself for her naturally-brown skin or her being a morena. Fans accepted the way she looks that matches her current partner's in a loveteam that always gets the loudest of screams. However, people who know her sense a bit of insecurity on her part whenever she is compared with her fellow young actress (YA).

While YA has been given a variety of roles, ID is now tied to her loveteam and goody, nice girl roles. Nonetheless, both have delivered quite well for their network, so their rivalry has not been played up.

Why is ID insecure anyway? Well, unlike ID, YA has a naturally-fair skin, which ID envies. It sounds shallow, but we are a nation obsessed with "white" skin. Thus, ID opted to use various whitening products to the point that she has developed a bit of addiction to them. ID will not go out of her dressing room unless she had used these whitening stuff. Those who are privy to it joked that the only thing she hasn't done is gulping those products.

"Beauty is only skin deep. What's really important is finding a balance of mind, body, and spirit.” – Jennifer Lopez

Celebrity Couple Seeking Marriage Counseling

Image courtesy of www.hannahmarcotti.com

Prior to settling down, former child actress (CA) was once the toast of her network. Whenever her contract was about to expire and rumors of her transfer were loud, the network would not think twice of retaining CA. Thus, CA was very secure with her career and following.

After years of being single, CA finally found her husband (HH). HH was charming and exuded an image that was quite opposite of CA who  appealed to the masses while HH was perceived as the "cono" one. When they finally admitted they were a couple, HH became closer to the masses, but CA tried to be at par with the image of HH. CA's weight loss amazed the public who claimed to have done normal routine of exercise and diet. At that time, she was endorsing a weight-loss product, so it was no big deal.

After marriage, CA had limited appearance on primetime. After CA gave birth, theirs was the image of an ideal family. After the weight gain, CA quickly lost much of it, and again, the public was astounded - such commitment and discipline - so they said. While at it, the network had found some bankable stars, and thus, CA had to wait for projects. A change in her forte did not bring as much attention as it had been with her teledramas.

While CA took it easy, HH was doing the rounds of channels. His image quite improved as he was now seen as a responsible family man. However, prior to marriage, HH had the reputation of being a lady’s man. When everything was quiet on the front, rumors of separation started to buzz. Both laughed it off and treated it as a bad joke, yet  apparently, CA had a jealous streak. She was becoming so insecure such that HH could no longer stand it. Instead of breaking apart, the couple decided to seek intervention to work out their problems.

Are the pressures of marriage, motherhood, and career getting on her nerves?

Perhaps CA can learn from Drew Barrymore, who said “I never have been insecure, because I see what a waste it is. I know there is a solution to insecurity. I don't tend to be thrown by problems that don't have solutions. And insecurity has a wealth of alternatives.”

Letter from a Reader: Still Brewing and More Beleaguering Acts of the Show

Image courtesy of Fashion PULIS reader

After FashionPulis published a blind item on the trouble brewing behind a weekly show, FP received a letter from an insider that supplements the content of the said BI. The letter has been edited for brevity and for the protection of the identity of the sender.

Dear Fashion Pulis,

Thank you for featuring a blog on the TRUE situation of an ongoing demoralization among the production the staff in the show. Unfortunately, the cyber-bullying has not stopped. One would expect that the head of this team (HB) would reprimand his fans since your article came up. Instead, he intentionally ignored the crisis and allowed his followers to tweet insults and negative comments to head of the other team (HT).

As one of the performers in the show, I have to admit that I have been affected by the cyber bullying since our hard work in the performances are always criticized below the belt by the supposed fans of our show. We feel sorry for HT, who does his best for any show assigned to him. Sadly, some of the production staff has resigned. Even someone from the other team resigned to show sympathy to the demoralized staff.

We are aware that cyber bullying comes from just a fansite but we cannot accept that the fansite is actively administered by someone working in the same show where we perform.

I am writing to you now to ask you to please let this story, this crisis and this inside situation to stay afloat. We have expressed our feelings to our managers and to management, but we feel the network is not doing anything and thinks that “competition” helps the show.

I saw your article because it was reprinted at an entertainment site. I hope that you could make a rejoinder to the previous blog about the brewing trouble in this TV show.

I am attaching a photo taken from the bullying fansite with proof of how they want our show this Sunday to fail or flop. It also shows how HB is still active in the site yet he does not control the situation and allows his followers to bash under the pretense of "opinions."

Many thanks and more power to you.

A Performer

Rejoinder: After the show last weekend, the buzz is going on that changes are forthcoming in the show. One host even allegedly said that there will be no more teams. This statement puzzled fans as to whether the said show will be axed after next week, when the other group will be performing.

Moreover, what is more troubling is that the network seems to be beleaguered as its major talents are rumored to be thinking of transferring to other networks. The history of the weekly began with four seasoned performers, and gradually expanded to accommodate other younger talents. Now, one of these seasoned performers (SP), who is well respected and seen as a leader has yet to publicly acknowledge if he will be staying on. Has this ambivalent stance of SP affected the show? Do the changes in the variety show, whether it will be reformatted or axed, have something to do with the impending decision of SP?

Employees are a company's greatest asset - they're your competitive advantage. You want to attract and retain the best; provide them with encouragement, stimulus, and make them feel that they are an integral part of the company's mission. - Anne M. Mulcahy

Pretty newcomer PN and popular athlete PA are rumored to be into each other lately. No big deal – except that PN is very much in a relationship. People in the know are quite wondering though as PN is known to be shy and naïve as her mom herself and friends attest even in her press release. Could it be that PN’s peers and colleagues liberal image are already rubbing off on her?

To be fair, the unassuming PN is not like other stars who are in such a hurry to shine and make their presence felt. In a sense, her simplicity seems to be her asset - makes her unique and stand out.

PN and PA first met and got introduced to each other publicly. Both look good together, but PN is already committed.But days after the first meeting, they were allegedly seen dining out somewhere with both looking like in a “getting-to-know-you stage.”

PA once intimated that he was interested in PN which was just okay since he was/is still unattached. But PN is totally a different story. Anyway, it seemed that PN and PA’s “getting-to-know-you stage” had already leveled up to something deeper and meaningful.

Do we need to look beyond the obvious? Last time we learned, PN was already a regular presence in PA’s sports practice - bringing with her packed food for the very inspired new admirer. Do we hear a mother getting into the picture again?
