MDs On The Runway II

I have a confession to make. Although I run a beauty blog and claim the domain to the vanity department, I'm not a stilletos type of girl. Well, that is, until the need to wear them arises. Two Sundays ago was one of those rare events that warranted me to steer clear of my regular comfy shoes, to join my fellow doctors do the catwalk, on the "MDs on The Runway II" Fashion Show.

This is the second time that the Misamis Oriental Medical Society (MOMS) organized a fashion show featuring the works of one of Cagayan de Oro's top designers, Gil Macaibay III, modeled by the doctors of MOMS themselves. The event held last September 26, 2010 at the Grand Caprice was well- attended by bigwigs from both the fashion and medical world. This was a fund-raising project for the benefit of cancer patients of the Northern Mindanao Medical Center, a cause that's clearly close to my heart. While it was fun to be a model for a night, it feels good that the revenues earned from this project will help pay for the treatments of cancer patients.

The Misamis Oriental Medical Society's current president, Dr. Emily Ceballos, is a fashion plate herself, which explains the glamorous route to the group's fund-raising event. Dr. Andresul Labis, (aka the one who discovered our modeling potentials), spearheaded this project. In behalf of all doctors, we'd like to thank Gil Macaibay III for his generosity in co-sponsoring the event. It was such a surreal experience to have been able to model his fabulous designs.Who would have thought that at our age, we could still be walking down the fashion runway?

Thanks are also in order to creative director Dennis Almazan, who choreographed our moves. The hair and makeup for the night was provided by Gil Macaibay's team, while Roger Lactao and team handled the photography. The stage design was creatively arranged by Flower Matters.

I realized that walking in heels is a skill, which makes me all the more in awe for supermodels like Tyra Banks. For a first timer in the runway, walking in stilletos in a pretty, long dress with train was like mounting a balance beam. I was concentrating so badly on not turning the event into a comedy bar. The heels of my shoes frequently got caught up in the hemline of the dress I modeled. It makes me wonder how Kate Moss and other runway stars are able to pull it off effortlessly. Hopefully, I did not murder the Gil's creations.

We had fun so much fun that evening, and it was a rare experience I was fortunate to have been part of. Below are some photo and video captures during the event:

Estee Lauder Introduces New Pleasures Bloom

Estée Lauder introduces its new line of perfume- the Pleasures Bloom, a luscious fruity floral fragrance, that embodies the appeal of new moments, new pleasures and the exuberance of life’s carefree days. It is a lovely companion to its best selling predecessor- Pleasures, which has been around since 1996.

New Pleasures Boom represents a more playful, contemporary expression of the original, iconic concept. Reinvented to match the contemporary consumer, Pleasures Bloom is described to be a fruity floral fragrance instantly transporting you to a field of colorful petals and delectable fruits where fresh violet flowers and vibrant pink peonies sparkle. Distinctly feminine, playful and exuberant.

Estee Lauder gives us an Idea of how it smells like:

The fragrance opens with a fresh and playful, fruity blend with the refreshing burst of sparkling, mouth-watering Grapefruit and ripe, luscious Raspberry while juicy Lychee adds an uplifting, yet modern feel to the delicate charm of Violet Flower.

Be prepared to be enthralled by the sumptuous harmony of a radiantly feminine heart as the body of the fragrance unfolds with colorful, vibrant florals of dewy Pink Peony, elegant Rose, intoxicating Jasmine and the spicy intrigue of Green Lily.

A sensation of comfort arises from the finish of soft, shimmering Musk blended with a touch of Patchouli and Creamy Vanilla for warm femininity.

“We wanted to take the timeless core concept of pleasures – the enjoyment of life’s simple pleasures as the balance to a life that is often over connected and overextended – and express it with a new level of animation and vibrancy that reflects the world we live in today,” said Karyn Khoury, Senior Vice President, Corporate Fragrance Development Worldwide, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. “The concept today is less about tranquil calmness and more about adding energy, animation and color to life.”

The packaging is similar to the original Pleasures perfume, but capturing the essence of this new, modern interpretation, it comes with a shiny, metalized cap and a single fuchsia blooming bud adorning the bottle’s neck. The exterior packaging features a bold floral print expressing the heart of this luscious, vibrant fragrance.

In the Philippines, new Pleasures bloom will be available at all Estée Lauder counters nationwide starting on October 2010, for Php 3,450 for the 1.7 oz / 50 ml EDP Spray and Php 4,900 for the 3.4 oz / 100 ml EDP Spray.
