Too Much Love to Give

Very Blessed Actress BA is in 7th heaven for having been so privileged at this time in her career. She worked her way up before hitting her big present status. BA certainly paid her dues - years of hard work, blood, sweat and tears.

The pretty BA is reportedly being envied by her peers in the network for being given all the good breaks that they can only dream of. And why not? There are many of them in the stable who are equally good and talented, yet BA seems to be singled out to be the favored one. Reportedly, apart from her present television shows, there is a movie forthcoming which will star her among the brightest stars in the industry.

BA's stardom did not come without a heavy price. Along her journey, was the accusation that she had allegedly stepped on several toes that not only hurt her image but also those of the people she once held dear. Among all things, BA was accused of playing with people's feelings to advance her interests – all of which she vehemently denied.

Unknown to most, a Big Personality BP has allegedly taken a liking at BA and secretly eyeing on her every chance he got. PP reportedly wanted her and thus had made his intentions known to her. So unlike a legit business deal, no actual proposals were laid, but more like a quiet pact they both understood - BP and BA called it a deal.

Currently, BA is untouchable. Great things are going for her - speaks a lot about how lucrative the deal is. All she has to do is work at her passion and pretend that some co-actors are special in her heart and voila – she will be smiling all the way to the bank.

Some are luckier – err, smarter than others.

Director Rodolfo “Jun” Robles Lana Jr. and TV5 executive Percival “Perci” Intalan tied the knot in solemn rites by the Bethesda Fountain at Central Park in New York on Monday.

Lana and Intalan, both 41, wore black tuxedos. The ceremony was officiated by Paul Hertel and witnessed by family members and close friends of the couple. Reception followed at the Jeepney Gastropub, a Filipino restaurant at the Big Apple’s Lower East Side.

“Grateful for this day. Beautiful weather at Central Park, surrounded by loving friends and family and the most delicious wedding feast prepared by Jeepney Gastropub, we couldn’t have asked for anything more,” Lana said on Facebook on Tuesday.

The newlyweds kiss each other at the conclusion of the ceremony.

The couple had been together for 10 years before they formalized their union under the same-sex law of New York State where they had obtained their marriage license last week.

Lana is the acclaimed writer and director of “Bwakaw”, while Intalan is the long-time creative and entertainment production head of TV5.

On Tuesday, the couple left New York for Tokyo to attend the 26th Tokyo International Film Festival where “Barber’s Tales”, Lana’s latest film which Intalan co-produced, will screen in competition. The festival will open on Thursday.

Tactical Response of Perceptive Manager

Moving to a new station is always a big risk for any actor. Over the years, only a number of actors have made the successful transfer. Still, only a few among them have sustained their career since their move. Thus, managers and actors are now wiser based on what they have learned from the experience of these performers.

Banking on the Phenomenal rise to fame of beaming actor (BA) in only a few months, seasoned manager (SM) is making sure that he does everything to protect the rise of BA. BA first appeared in a reality show, where he was immediately noticed because of his looks. However, his stint did not last long enough. Then, he appeared in a movie, but the presence of other more popular hunks did not add any prestige to BA’s career. Finally, his home network gave him a break in a hit teleserye. BA had an offbeat role that was significant because of the twist, but the role again relegated him to supporting cast.

Early this year, SM announced that he was now handling the career of BA. The news opened the speculation that SM was going to transfer BA to the other network even if his teleserye was still enjoying a very good run. This announcement and movement raised a lot of eyebrows. Some even said that this move will not really do much for the career of BA. As the current year ends, his appearance in a differently themed teleserye has propelled BA into a household name.

With sudden fame comes careful handling. With this in mind, SM is closely monitoring the appearances of BA. In one incident, BA was scheduled to do a provincial show. When SM found out it was only BA who had the “star power” in the show, he immediately pulled him out. BA was supposed to be with the not so popular talents of the rival network. Perhaps, SM did not want these performers of lesser names to ride on the coattails of his now highly prized BA.

Letter from a Reader: Beware of Sellers of Fake Louis Vuitton Bags









Images courtesy of Fashion PULIS reader

Dear Fashion Pulis,

Good day! I'm an avid fan of your blog. I greatly admire your quick wit and fashion sense. I'm writing to you because I want to warn your readers of this person who sells counterfeit designer bags but passes them off as real ones at "factory prices". I'm confident that you'll understand this sentiment since like you, I work hard to earn money to buy beautiful (and real) things.

The seller's name is C**** (C). She's from a well-off family, studied in a private Christian school, and lives in Quezon City. Early this year she offered me LV bags at 20%-30% off store prices (priced around 30K to 90k). Since I'm fond of this brand and she was so convincing, showing me boxes and a receipt, I bought one of the bags. She would always tell me that an LV bag is worth the investment because it's a sign that I've "arrived" (earning well). She also offered payments in installment, so now you see how it was so hard to resist her offer. I bought 3 bags from her.

When I asked C where she gets her supply, she gave me this story of a friend who lives and work in Italy who buys and ships the supposedly authentic bags to her and she simply resells the bags for a small profit.

Seeing this as a good deal, I informed her that I wanted to resell the bags and asked if she can give me a reseller's discount and longer payment terms. She said it was ok.

When I offered it to my friends they were excited that there is such a deal. However, this excitement was short-lived when one of my friends pointed out that there seems to be some "irregularities" with the bag that I bought. My friend encouraged me to visit the LV store to have it authenticated. Confident that I bought the bag with a box and receipt, I brought my bags and a couple of bags C has "consigned" to me to the LV Store at Greenbelt 5 to allay my fears.

Lo and behold, the store refused to authenticate the bag. Apparently it's company policy to not authenticate because they do not have "factory outlets" therefore, there's nothing to authenticate . It's their way of saying: If you didn't buy it in an LV store, chances are it's fake. But since the store manager couldn't do anything to circumvent the policy and he took pity in my obvious facial expression of disappointment, he offered to show me a bags of the same models that I brought and to assess for myself.

Attached are the shocking revelations that I've discovered that fateful day.

Optimistic at heart, I immediately called up C to tell her what I've discovered. I expected that she'd be shocked as I am. Instead, she the first thing out of her mouth was: "LV store does not authenticate". Then she proceeds to nag that the bags that she sells are all authentic. It dawned to me that she knew she was selling fakes in the first place, but tried to pass them off as real ones because she knew that LV store does not authenticate.

I offered to return the bags I've bought but demanded that she return my hard-earned money. She did return it but she issued a PDC which only cleared after a month. The audacity of this swindler. Thus, I'm only able to expose this person's modus operandi now.

Lesson learned: Louis Vuitton does NOT sell at a discount, EVER. Even if there's a box and receipt, always insist on meeting at the LV store before buying so you can check.

She continues to operate her shameless modus operandi to date. I just hope that your readers who bought/buy from her will read this and ask for a refund.

I do not wish her ill, but she is a scam artist that has gotten away for a long time already and this has got to stop. I hope you can help me by posting this letter and help me spread this around.

God bless and more power!

Warm regards,
Kady
