swanky set-up

hey sis :)

what a birthday blast!

i knew you'd be late, so i took photos of the set-up for you to appreciate without the klezy guests.

i went for the (almost) black & white retro lounge set-up...

the "stage"...

the accessories before entering...

the occasional feathers...

the pillows i "made"...

some more details...

yun lang :) i know you'd appreciate the set-up being a set designer yourself (naks). had a blast. thanks for being the gamest 'straight' teammate.

bembol rockers

hmmm... you are making me hungry! been on a diet starting this week though (due to my recent inactivity). i've been pretty good at avoiding rice the past few days, was a little harder to stay away from the junk food they served at my shoot yesterday...

i spent all of my sunday working on a photo shoot with several local bands. during one of the lulls, i sat on the make-up chair getting lessons on how to do that 1920's fingerwave hair - practicing for (yet another) upcoming costume party. the theme is mobster/mafia/gangster and i've decided to come as a flapper girl - haha.



ANYWAY, just as i was in that 1920's mode, this young band walks in dressed in black and white wing tip shoes, funky ties, suspenders, hair done up in pomade, straight out of a mobster movie. i loved them instantly!!! haha

the "bembol rockers" (love the name too)


they just start playing their instruments, putting on a free show for everyone as photographer mark nicdao clicks away.


and one of them got up on his bass!


their music is very fun, very old world. i think dad would've enjoyed them too (*sniff*).


they are launching their first album on saturday. i think i might just get a copy :)
