A Life Less Ordinary

I don't filter colors like I used to, not for this post, at least.

Here's to blog about some sketches of Pinoy contempo-artist
Kiko Escora...

The artist in his studio, beside one of his works.

Some of his charcoal drawings from the previous year..

and these...

He's effortlessly stylish, too, in those Dior Homme pants and boots
+ them white Van Assche sneaks.

BONUS PIC: Kiko also does the decks as electro-rawking discojockey KIKIMACHINE.

Side Note: These are just samples of his works. There is more via www.myspace.com/kokix and www.myspace.com/manilaanimal.
(I actually just swiped every thing from there, except for the shoes and pants' pic which belongs to Style Samurai.)

P.S. - I tried to do an "art" post, tried harder to talk the talk but ended up sounding like a mindless robot, as usual. LOL.
I'm such a poser!:p
XOXO

**DISCLAIMER: I'm writing this additional note, hours after publishing this post. Because I'm not an "art" person and won't be able to do his work any justice by elaborating on it, the focus here, instead - thru casual, thoughtless blogging - is on the multi-facets of this man's thingy as artist/painter, "musician" and stylista. Ergo, it's very appropriate to conclude that when I grow up, I wanna be Kiko Escora.

Decadent Mess, Life in Mono

Haven't posted the usual phone cam photos of magazine spreads that caught my fancy. Fact that these are back issues now don't matter, I'm just indulging my can't-make-anyone-love-you state of mind at this moment. I'm not sad very often, I hope blogging proves therapeutic.

Sibling Revelry

If I were a fashion director, they'll be my top duo.

Yep, they're sibs and they do model on the side. I think they look neat -- the way that the new breed of local models should be. These are stolen photos from their myspace profile he he he.

And, please, can we stop the spurt of Brazilian models around here already? They're, uhh.... you can fill in the blanks for me. I'm heading out to party and keeping my fingers crossed that my crush is there.

(Don't get me wrong, I liked Corned Beef from Brazil till I stopped eating cows because they do shed tears,etc. Good thing, my gun heels are made of satin, I think.)

Yesterday's News Today ;)

Lately, as pastime, it’s a lot of camera phone shots of some parts out of magazine editorials.

The world's not a mess, their hair's imperfect. If bored with your usual hairstyle, we can take it to the next level with endless teasing and dyeing until our hair looks fried and very ‘80s-punk that extended to the ‘90s and got trendy during the F/W season 3 years ago.

Have learned from a BFF that using soap, instead of shampoo, helps add tangles. I love hair tangles and can never get enough of it. No combing after washing with soap + a bit of teasing + some hair spray = happy tangled hair.

On the contrary, these gals in the below have that iron-flat, smooth hair. I'm posting this mostly, though, to illustrate how so hot a denim on denim ensemble is. Leopard prints in particular are not next season's thingie. But animal prints are as classic as denim, it'll always be rock 'n roll.

Moreover, big and structured shoulders are so awesome. They look harder and harsher for next season. These are dang hot:

(Neck-piece Alert, y'all!)

Lastly, my gun heels have not arrived in the Singapore store up to this day I’m getting to be a master of patience. I feel virtuous.

Alrighty, hope you're getting along well with the busy days. It should be over soon and we can all relax again after this crazy holiday season.

Jolie Photos by Pitt (Bye, Guys?)

My blogging days are over. Some photo attorney will find Angelina's W Magazine pics here and charge me with infringement of copyrighted photographs.






There are 3 things I did and am doing now that I did not know I'd do:

1. Buy a copy of W Magazine because of Brad Pitt's "Exlusive Private Photos" of A.J. Couldn't resist it. It's much too good a sales strategy not to make curious ghost blogger me grab a copy in a snap.

2. Take actual photos of these photos. (Because I tried to search for it on the net and everyone just has the one on the cover and it's my least favorite of all the photos. I only want to bother posting images that I'm interested in.)

3. Blog about B.P. and A.J. Like for real. (Like really, these bitches are the most beautiful actors of Hollywood. Plus, I never really rooted for Aniston. She's too wishy-washy. I've always been in awe of Jolie. She's like the bad girl who swept away the most pop guy in class and Aniston, who's head cheerleader, got left in the dumps. I really loved this ending.)

So yeah. Maybe this is the last time I get to look at my gorgeous blog to which I am its numero uno fan. LOL.

Remember when you lost your diary and stuff? I'm there soon.
