Happy birthday, Kate...







Today is the birthday of my good friend, Kate. LOL!

I've known her for quite some time. We go way back to my primary school years.

My earliest recollection of meeting her was in 1995. I was at the National Bookstore in Quezon Avenue and I saw her cover for the January issue of British Vogue. That image stayed with me ever since.

Then, there are the infamous Obsession for Calvin Klein print ads. Who would not recall those ads? Any child of the 90s would remember those black and white ads.

Since then, I've just been a follower. She's been praised. She's been condemned. She's been in a relationship. She's been out of it. She became a wife. She became a mother. She's been loved. She's been hated.

Everyone can say anything about her, but well she's still here.

And she's just turned 40.

I'm quite sure she'll still be around for the next decade or so. Gemma's gone. Carmen's gone. Gisele and Natalia are seen less (I think). Not Kate.

Happy birthday, Kate.

Ni hao, Yun Xiang...










It's been awhile since I've been following any male fashion models. Hehe!

But recently, this guy has caught my attention.

What can I say? I love rice. Haha!

Nihao Hao Yun Xiang!

I miss pages like these...










It was in the last quarter of 2004 when I learned about the awesome issue that is the September issue (of US Vogue). Hehe!

I can't remember where I was, but I knew I had to get the issue when I saw it. At that time, I was ultra crazy for Gisele (and her "batchmates" Natalia, Daria, among others)

At that time, people (at least those from that billion-dollar industry) were wondering if there would still be supermodels. Not just any model, but a model who can go by one name.

Uhm, you know who they are - Kate, Linda, Naomi, Christy, Cindy, to name a few.

Then came Gisele. Everything was right again. Hehe!

Pretty soon, the next few covers of US Vogue featured models again. The September 2004 has got to be one of my favorites.

Three things - Gisele. Gatefold cover. September issue.

Personally, I really like gatefold covers and editorials. You want impact. There you go. Hehe! (Of course, It's alread a given lah that you need a fantab photo).

Above are some of the fantab spreads that were published 2004 and so on.

I have yet to see a like photos like this again...
