Take for example, Kira Plastinina, a Russian 16 year old "fashion designer" that even with daddy's billions, filed for bankruptcy. That is a whopping 80 million investment 7 months ago plus borrowings of $54 million and assets worth 9 million. Well, what's $100 million if you've never lifted a finger to earn it, like some on the Forbes List? Or, would you rather want me to say pilfered it. In the Philippines a sure way of getting and maintaining wealth is to do a double triple whatever insertion on the national budget. Take a pick. In China you get your head chopped. In Peru, they dig for gold underneath Andean glaciers and literally their graves too.
Meanwhile in the Philippines, as usual, what is fashionable are the Shabu Cebuano druglods, the Czarina in the Palace and the Politicians. Unemployment, call centre cut backs, and OFW retrenchments, Whats that? Like anything, the crisis was so yesterday and one must find sources for an election campaign. So what if the multinationals have bunkered down as a result of the imploding housing collateral bubble (internet bubble de ja vu) and the related SIVs, CDOs, credit swaps etc, which built $60 trillion of "value" on basically shaky smoke and mirrors. So what if nations of the world unite to stop the feverish convulsions. So what if Australia is giving away billions, and encouraging its citizens to spend while everyone is proclaiming the virtues of frugality, frugality, frugality. So what if we too are infected like the rest of the world. Or was it herpes? All have been attributed to Reaganomics and to Dubyanomics, blame them.
But let's not create arguments regarding the economic virtues of the former presidents. This is supposedly a fashion article. So I must mention the massive reduction in the demand for luxury, exclusive "parteeeeee" [read: drug dealing, captured market] and the demise of anything created out of PR puff like the "Supreme" for instance. Buying cheap made in China and locally made anything is fashionable like Mrs Obama because labels even the fake one's do not necessarily make you look stylish. I mean have you seen Miss Binibining Rustome GandangHari? With her $100 Chinese Laundry shoes, she kicked ass with my girl Ruffa and that vitamin D deficient Kris with her Roderick accent.
So, short of using vaginal cream for a clean taught and terrific complexion, what one must do for financial frugality? The 16th-century theologian Martin Luther boasted that he could drive away the evil spirit with a single fart. Unfortunately there are not enough beans in the world to create enough draft for flatulence to be effective. Though, it may be enough to get rid of the pocket-rocket. Ok, I am not going to say the "MIDGET" word. Fortunately the trickle-down effect of the much lauded economic prosperity of the Arroyo extravaganza stayed as usual among Manila's elite and our "hardworking" politicians. So hopefully all of them will be damned from now till they never recover, well, as long as someone GOOD takes over and for good measure brings back the death penalty for corruption.
On the other hand as my pessimist know it all BFF who is always correct said, "well, ya knaw, this crisis may encourage politicians t
o suck blood out in the open, during daylight". Well in that case then I say buy some garlic, I hear it's very effective to ward off evil and bad breath, just ask Ms. Editor ...
Hey it's just a suggestion.
Out with Exclusivesta, Partiesta and in with Crashionista, Recessionista, and Frugalista, right Tim? Change is good just don't do a BeBe Gandanghari. She looks like a thinner version of Ruffa, whereas you my dear might just look like Jenni Efferson.
Back in 2005, Jason Baker, the Australian general manager at business inform
ation group IBISWORLD predicted that a tougher retail environment could wipe out most in the [Australian] fashion industry. This was his view as result of the financial troubles of local designer Wayne Cooper. And so three years later, the global economic meltdown is forcing American socialites to wear dresses twice, mere mortals continue to shop at ukay-ukay "boutiques" which is now called "crashion" and designer fashionistas hyperventilating at "must-haves" begging for love with 80% mark downs from Paris to Singapore. No wonder the prostitution industry is beseeching like Mrs Arroyo for a bail-out, and as many control erratic heart palpitations, Hermes is now 60% off. I suppose for some awash with cash, its hallelujah, while others its nada, as in, nothing.

The near paralysis in the banking system has paralysed consumer and financial confidence leading to a sharp slowdown in growth and rising unemployment... jeni should just clean the side-walks in edsa !
fashion designers seem to be safe and sound in their cocoons, attributing this to the high style quotient of their niche market
recession could affect fashion and design industry in a good way as it might bring out the creative best from designers.This whole crisis is like a big spring house-cleaning - both moral and physical. I see it like a healthy thing, a horrible but healthy thing, as we were not doing quality work...GONE are the days of out-right cheats like PEPITO ALBERT and crass BLING fashion of TINY and TESSA. I agree that Jeni should look for a more noble job like sweeping edsa!
Why only Jenni? Tim Yap could help clean the city too by sweeping himself to an Arab country and snort desert sand? You drop the broom Tiny! Time to make yourself useful and be like the OFW's, bayani ng bayan. May it be a one-night stand, a gang-bang, or a simple BJ to a rich Arab magnate, all that money should be remitted to the poorest of the poor here. Gamitin mo naman ang pagka-pokpok mo sa maayos! Huwag mo na lang ilabas yang tiny mo dahil tutuwad ka lang at luluhod! Hahahahaha!!!
JUSTICE FOR BRIAN!
REDEMPTION FOR DONA VICTORINA!
My take on this is after a taste of decadence, eccentricity and the success of artificial over the natural, there is a yearning to return to a state of NORMALCY. Has this resulted in a wish for fashion to take things steady rather than go overboard? Have we become sick of the moral depravity of the Tim Yaps and Vicky Belos? Is this a reflection of the current world economic climate? Are we in search of the next Filipino hero?
BRAVO Victorina for opening our eyes!
Vogue’s December issue, ad pages, which are a key indicator of a magazine’s health, were down 22.3% and a Vogue writer Braunstein ranted in a personal manifesto, read to a court, about killing Vogue’s Anna Wintour. He wrote: "So I'll tell you why I'm going to kill Anna Wintour- because I just feel like it." Baka mamaya meron nang I wanna kill Bryanboy?
"Why only Jenni? Tim Yap could help clean the city too by sweeping himself to an Arab country and snort desert sand? You drop the broom Tiny! Time to make yourself useful and be like the OFW's, bayani ng bayan."
Hey its MALOU FERNANDEZ who should clean the city too by sweeping herself to an Arab country and snort desert sand. She should be the PROXY for OFW's who are in JAIL. Anyway she is imune to lethal injection.
Eeeey! BLING is so last decade. MTV Bling sucked big-time. Chanel boss has prophesized that the ensuing era will be one of "new modest". Red carpetry covered with rhine-stones is out. Bling is over. In the words of Mr. Channel -'the new modesty era'; a word TINY will never comprehend...Tim is soooooooooo yesterday!
B L I N G is so 100 years ago!
His name is TINY, he was a showgirl
But that was 30 years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for TINY
Still in the dress he used to wear, faded feathers in his hair
he lost his youth and he lost his DJ. Now he's lost his mind!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!!!!!
On Saturday nights, Metro Manila’s urban elite throng to the invitation-only VIP room at Embassy nightclub, where foie gras and a flute of champagne are the de rigueur accompaniments to checking out the dance floor.
“It’s a return to yuppiedom,” Tim Yap, one of Embassy’s co-owners, told Reuters. “Right now, the young generation is a generation that works really hard and wants to reward itself.”
Reward itself with PARTEEEEEEE!!!
Wellington Soong is STUPID... buti nga nalugi Jaguar! Go back to Korea ang dami nyo na dito.
The younger generation, without connoting anything negative, is more passionate, is more brash,” said Wellington Soong, president of Jaguar Philippines, which sold 60 Jaguars and Land Rovers in 2006 and aims to sell 100 this year.
“Wealth is acquired at a faster rate. The impatience can be seen in their behavior.”
Over at Embassy, where Imelda’s grandson promotes Monday nights and the lady herself recently appeared for a twirl across the tiles, Yap said consciences were not bothered by the yawning gap between rich and poor in the city.
“There is this mind-set, which I think is so passe, that says: ‘The country is in shambles and the country is having a hard time and you are out there partying.’ But this generation is guiltless when it comes to that.”
Hi Victorina council. Can you checkif this is another lie by the Gucci Gang- "Wendy Puyat has received her Master's Degree in Visual Communications from the Ecole Supérièure de Design Industrelle-Créapole and the Sorbonne."

"Successful people do what the unsuccessful people are not willing do."
GO VICTORINA!

HiBrid si Tiny ni German Moreno and Mike Velarde
I was an OCW way back the 80s. Kami ang orig na umalis ng bansa at kumita ng dolyar para ipadala sa aming mga pamilya. Malaki-laki na rin ang agwat ng dolyar sa peso noon. Nabibili pa ang 2 stick ng Marlboro for 25 centavos. Mas naging talamak lang ang pangingibang bansa lately dahil din sa kawalan ng trabaho dito sa atin. GMA says we are the orginal heros since we prop up the economy for the dollars we shore in. How can we be so poor yet we still strive for so much material wealth? and in excess at that? Are we just so callous or just so "dedma" wala na tayong moral conscience? The younger set - hindi ba kayo naturuan kung anong ibig sabihin nito?
Manang Biday
I wrote about Celine's FAKE degree in April.
And Peppers.
And Wendy.
Omg.
So many people lie about their education and degrees in Manila.
DJ also lied to me about his degree in Switzerland.
I only had to make a phone call to find out the truth.
As long as THEY control the press releases, then THEY can fool the world.
Until now of course.

REPLY:
ITS QUITE EASY TO CHECK IF SHE GRADUATED BUT IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE SHE DID .
ECOLE NATIONALE SUPERIURE DE CREATION INDUSTRIELLE from memory require an undergraduate degree prior to being accepted in a masters degree.
now all graduates who passed their degrees can be search through their database online. Her name is not on the list.
wendy looked like told a porky. don't know why they lie.
regards heres the link: BTW you can translate into english if you use google. BUT for this just cut and paste in your browser and abracadabra..... but unless she changed her name i've search puyat, wendy and hutong

"Wendy Puyat has received her Master's Degree in Visual Communications from the Ecole Supérièure de Design Industrelle-Créapole and the Sorbonne."
Please chECK????
Yes fake degrees are horrible! These guys need to come clean and stop misrepresenting themselves.
It's just like those lowlives who misrepresent themselves as a professionals. People who say they are Finance majors, engineers or landscape architects when they are not should be revealed and shamed, especially when they state such credentials online.
I agree!
so is Anton Mendoza a graduate of architecture and is anton san diego a graduate of la Roche?
Filipinos get inundated through the the corrupted ABSCBN media with images full of artificiality, inanity, sexism, violence and racism. The culture being institutionalized is alien in language, direction and content. The educational system continues to miseducate Filipinos by glorifying the boons of continuing foreign domination at the expense of indigenous culture. The legions of little brown Americans in our midst,attest to such a tragic flaw. Victorina please don't patronize the Hollywood style Obama inauguration!
The BRILLIIANT Amiel wrote in August 29 2006 - WHO is SOOZYHOPPER! A masterpiece that foretold things to come...Soozyhopper, an avatar of society’s Beelzebub which manifested itself several months back as an incognito blogging socialite still remain topical in hushed whispers along the cold corridors of Manila’s elite get-togethers. Its mysterious appearance took many by surprise as IT chronicled webpages upon webpages of malicious gossip about the Philippines’ supposed high society… only to suddenly vanish in a flash of fire and brimstone.This elusive Soozyhopper and the web of intrigues it has painstakingly spun have prompted a rude awaking in society. From accusations of halitosis to surreptitious affairs, its venomous words have been the talk of the town...I think we all know the catalysts that could bring such a monstrosity into life. Those who fear Soozyhopper are most likely the same ones perpetrating its existence... A Rizal in the making!
MABUHAY KAYO
Hay naku Guyzzz. Everyone knows SOOZYHOPPER is Raul Manzano his ex-boyfriend and his ilk while chikatime is the gay anorexic fashion blogger . MANHID naman ang high society so the CONTINUE to perpetuate their existence.
How can they think when they gray matter is filled with methamphetamine and barbiturates? They should join the ranks of Atty john recedo!
Supreme to the Extreme Awards. For reasons beyond my control, I somehow won the "Best Blogger" award. Craziness eh?I didn't prepare an acceptance speech because I didn't expect to win so I laughed on stage and said "uhhhh thank you to all my haters, i love you all!" And then the DJ or what have you said "and this award is sponsored by Chikatime" or something to that effect. Hysterical!!! Overall it was a fun, fun night.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Supreme. I'm honored!
RIP Yan lang pow.
BRYANBOY (acceptance speech)
may i give my two-cent's worth on BOLDSTAR's opus - Death is just the Beginning. Firstly, why does he/she always bash the Catholic church? What has the Catholic church done to him/her to merit such wrath? Like all religion, the Catholic church stands for some virtues that they need to always defend.. What they do or say does not always please us. But religion is religion.. Walang panalo sa debate if religion ang pag uusapan.. So let the Catholic church be, or for that matter all religious entities.. And please, please, write to inform or express your honest views. But don't attempt to dazzle us with hifaluting words that are neither here nor there... oh well, some people can be really too atrocious even in the way they write.. I just hope the grammar is always correct..
