meg magazine's first guy cover

Aljur Abrenica is eet.

Designer Rajo Laurel has written in his blog that boy-candy Aljur is "going to be a star." And now, the PG-13 delight is the first male to land a solo cover for teen fashion mag Meg:

Look at those arms! Now look at that bod! Photo on the right is taken by Rajo Laurel at the Cosmo Bachelor Bash this year.

Napa-aga ang Pasko when Rajo posted those pics in his blog... and ngayon Pasko na talaga for those girls 13 to 25 years old. Tee-hee-tee! >;D

Yun na!

given a chance to do something different, yes

It wasn't the first time that stylist/writer Shahani Gania and photographer/stylist/DJ/blogger/muse Jujiin Samonte collaborated on a project together, but it was certainly the first time for them to collaborate on something new.

"Oh Contraire, I Love You!" premiered a couple of nights ago at Trilogy Boutique and Canteen. As you may have read earlier, this video is the first in a series that will come out to promote I Love You. You can read all about the event HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.

In behalf of Shahani Gania, Super Starlet would like to thank all those who came to the party. Thanks too to the Herrera siblings. Thank you, I Love You, for the opportunity. And thank you Jujiin. You guys rock, sabi ni Shahani.

oh, contraire, i love you!

I Love You Store's video:



From what Super Starlet gathered, there's going to be a new video released every week! Must watch out for that!

See you there? See you! Trilogy is located at 110 Alvion Center, Rada Street, Legaspi Village, Makati City

super starlet's paternal grandmother to star in dolce & gabbana's s/s 2010 ad campaign

You read that right! Fifty-one year old Madonna has moved on from modeling for French label Louis Vuitton to work for the popular Italian design duo Dominico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

“To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true,” says Super Starlet's tito Dom and tito Stef. “It seemed only fitting that Madonna, who embodies both the strong sensuality of the brand and who shares an Italian heritage with the designers should be the one to showcase the Sicilian inspired collection.”

Tito Steven Klein reportedly snapped grandma's first ads for the label in New York City a couple of weeks back.

Excited to see Madonna in these?

Super Starlet is just as excited to see the results as you are.

boy versus girl

Stylist Shahani Gania went through his stuff and found these fashion editorials he did featuring the clothes by Mega's 5th Young Designers' Competition finalists. When was this? Hmmm... Well, the first editorial came out in The Philippine Star's YStyle section, photographed by Frank Hoefsmit, makeup by Mickey See, modeled by Adrian Go:

The second one came out in Mega magazine, modeled by now-New York-based model Meki Saldana, photographed by Toto Labrador:

Same clothes, two stories. Hmmm... and Super Starlet just noticed that Miz Gania likes his editorials clean. So, which one do you like better?

The latest installment in the Headshot Clinic series:

Since gossip is the gospel of fashion, Super Starlet will spread what she heard: 150 people tops, but only a handful for the exhibit. Mmmm.... Whose camera does Super Starlet have to make love to to be part of this?

Niccolo Cosme, Starlet's excited! Click THIS for more lang.

carla rocks!

When Carla Sibal stepped in to become the editor-in-chief of Mega magazine, she was able to transform the Philippines' oldest fashion rag into what it is today. She also became Fashionable Manila's most-watched editrix, setting the bar as to how an editor should look, act, dress, wear her hair and carry herself. She garnered fans.

Why? Because Carla has the 5 B's--- Beauty, brains, body, bision, and blessings from up above. She changed the rules. She welcomed change.

Super Starlet raises her glass (or at this hour, cup of coffee) to Miz Sibal, a woman who dares to think outside the box! You rock, ma'am.

give!
