SOTANGHON!: The Sona Fashown Show

Apart from beauty pageants, awards nights and football games (WEH!?) isa sa mga inaabangan ko ay ang State of the Nation Address (SONA). Not just because the president gets to report the accomplishments of the current administration but also because of the now known SONA Fashown Show.

It's funny that most Filipinos consider SONA as the Oscar's Red Carpet of the Philippines. Well inatemmpt ng Luna Awards way back in the early 2000's-complete with Porsches and Jaguars (mag-research kung hindi alam) pero na-wit...pinilit pa kasi magpaka-sosyal. But in this event we see real designer gowns, gems and luxury cars paraded in Congress as if mocking the poor and the oppressed in our society. (Mareng Winnie, ikaw ba yan?!?! CHAROT)

Anyway, just like the President's Speech, may mga outfit na nasa tuwid na daan, may nasa daang-lubak lubak at merong mala-wangwang sa ka-chakhan!

Ladies, gentemen ang beqleengs, this is:

SOTANGHON
S
tate of the Terno and Nationalistic Gowns: Huwaw Or 'Nudaw???


Let's start with those with HUWAW Factor! Eto ang mga kasuotang tila nasa tamang at matuwid na landas

O diba? Diyosang-diyosa lang ang peg! The color matches her complexion and her hair. And I like the fact that it had lots of details but were made to blend with the gown itself.


Our very own Vice Mayor came in this very simple number. Di kasi kelangan bongga lagi. And I like the make-up too! The touch of pink gave her just the right amount of glow!


Eto naman so dainty and classic. Kaya naman sosyal na sosyal lang at hindi trying hard.

But of course it's okay to put a modern twist like this one...

I love how different fabrics were used to add a little flair to what could have been a boring white gown. Take note, maayos ang pagkakagawa. Hindi mukhang petticoat!

Speaking of twists, eto award na award!

Simple at first glance. Nothing worthy of praise. But if you look closely, notice how the embroidery of a traditional barong was created on the dress. Ang galing lang ng nakaisip!

And then there are those na tila naiwan sa daang mabato at lubak-lubak:

TULONG!! NAKAWALA YUNG MANOK NA PANABONG NG TATAY KO!!!!!

Speaking of manok...
Ma'am sino po bang peg natin dito?

Si Black Swan or si Miley Cyrus? heeeheeeheee

Nako di ko mahulaan. I bet siya, kaya niyang manghula...

Gusto ata kabugin si Madam Auring!!!!

Meanwhile, may nagpapalaganap ng Save Mother Earth Campaign

Environment Friendly vibe po ba ang gusto niyo? In fair, achieve na achieve po yan ng inyong ECO TOTE gown!

Pero kung ayaw niyo ng malaking tote bag...


MAG POUCH BAG KA LANG! Nako kaya pala naubusan ng pouch yung mga nagbebenta ng PRESWUTER PURLS sa Greenhills!


Grabe nakakainit ng dugo ang mga suot nila!! I think I need to cool myself down with

TWIN POPSIES!!!! CHUICE!

Or pray that some superhero will save the day tulad ni
ULTRAMAN!!!!!

But wait there's more, kaya naman hindi mawala-wala yang lubak na daan dahil may mga WANG WANG pa rin sa lipunan na kelangan sugpuin. These are the common crimes that lead to bigger problems. Ang mga anay na sumirira sa pundasyon ng lipunan. Meganon??

For example...
PAGNANAKAW

Hoy table runner namin yan!!! Ibalik mo!!!!


PAGMAMALIIT SA IBA


Teh, alam mo na bang naimbento na ang Alterations Plus???

PADRINO SYSTEM

Hello Ninang! Mano Po!

BRIBERY

Nako naman, nag-abala pa kayong magpa gift wrap!

at ang napaka-kontrobersyal na

PORK BARREL FUND!

Grabe natatakam ako sa bacon ngayon na!

Well its just PNoy's first year in office so there are still a lot of things to be done. And as we hope and work hard for the transformation of our beloved country sana sa mga susunod na SONA fashion show, mas marami na ang nasa matuwid na daan!

Baboo!

KOIture Awards:Oscars 2011 Edition

Eto na ang mother of all awards night! And while film buffs around the world feasted on the nominated movies and analyzing the results, my eyes were fixed on the stars parading in the red carpet.

Confession: this post should have been published Monday night but I decided to catch the late night replay on Velvet instead. Nakakahiyang aminin na nakatulog ako in the middle of the program. I guess I have to agree that the hosts' chemistry killed it. James Franco was stale as a 1-week old pandesal habang si Anne ay parang sinapian ni Energizer Bunny!

And just like the show, the dresses seemed to bore me as well. Parang normal party lang. Not much luster and star-factor. Not much outrageous outfits either. Mukhang they all played it safe. Balita ko natakot ma-okray sa KOI-ture Awards. CHUICE! Feeling!

Anyway, wala nang paligoy-ligoy pa, introducing...


Ansabe ng Koi Statuette? Kabogg si Oscar!

For this edition, we shall bring back the hits, the misses and the face-off! Let's start with the hits!

Anne Hathaway in Archival Valentino

Kahit waley ang naging hosting mo, you were a winner in the red carpet! Simple cut but the rose details looked fabulous. At nahiya ako sa term na archival! It means it came from a Valentino vault in France. Timeless elegance.

Natalie Portman in Rodarte

This was Best Actress material! Fabulous color and silhouette. I just wish she played a little more in choosing the shoes and accessories.

Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier

The color suited her well! I especially love the beading which created a floating illusion on her arms! I think the look could have been better if her hair wasn't pulled back. Mejo mukhang losyang si tey.

Annette Bening in Naeem Khan

It was a very modern design yet it fit her age perfectly. Not to mention the emerald drop earrings- excellent choice of accessories!

Sandra Bullock in Vera Wang

No need for a lot of styling! So what if it was simple? The overall look was completely sophisticated! I guess the color went well with her dark brown hair too.

Hailee Steinfeld in Marchesa

Thank God she dressed her age! Pink and tulle created a very dreamy and charming look. I just think the hair made her look like a labandera. Chozz.

Mila Kunis in Elie Saab

This is what I call sexaaaaay! (there's like that??) A perfect balance of fierceness (from her face and the peek-a-boos ) and sweetness (from the lilac color and the soft lace). Sana paggising ko bukas ganito na ako... ECHOS!

Misses!

ScarJo in Dolce and Gabbana

Adik ka sa lace teh? Sorry but the dress looked cheap. And what happened to your hair? Next time please use a blower and a brush! Wag mong kakamayin sa harap ng electric fan ah! Tsaka mag Vitress ka! Kakulay pa ng dress mo yung bote!

Christian Bale

So alin diyan ang may dye? Your hair or your beard??? At kelan ka pa naging rabbi aber? Sayang gwapo ka pa naman sana.

Jeniffer Hudson in Atelier Versace

How to make this dress: kumuha ng isang kilometrong tela, itali ng bongga. Take note, sikipan sa side and sa back. But wait, masyadong masikip! Her boobs looked liked a pair of pinisang burger buns!

Sunrise Coigney in Jean Paul Gaultier

OMG!!! Ilabas mo ang tinatago mong Oscar's statuette!!! Don't deny! Kitang-kita from your left side oh!

Marisa Tomei in Charles James Vintage

Ok it's vintage and all but dear, you simply remind me of this...



Only that she was caught in between the transformation.

Halle Berry in Marchesa

The top part looked great. But wait, nasabit ka ba sa limousine mo??? Parang nagmadali lang. "Basta itahi-tahi niyo nalang yan sa ilalim! Bilis!!!

Hillary Swank in Gucci

San ka rumampa teh before going to the red carpet??? Sa EDSA?!??! In fairness dami mong nawalis na alikabok!


And now for the face-off!

Penelope Cruz in L'Wren Scott

Ate girl! Wag mo namang pangunahan ang pagputok ng Mount Bulusan! Maraming mapipinsala! Tenkyew!

Meanwhile, someone came in with a nominated movie as theme in mind...


Virginia Madsen in Romona Keveza

Feathery much??? Half white swan and half black swan! Parang mas fun kung vertical yung division para pang doble kara!

Melissa Leo in Marc Bouwer

Nakikiusap ang parish priest, pakibalik po ng belo ni Maria just in time for Flores de Mayo. Chuice!

Meanwhile may mga naligaw sa awarding ceremony...

Busy Philipps in Douglas Hannant

And for the buffet table...
Nicole Kidman in Christian Dior

Wag kalimutan ang table napkin at ang table runner!

And while the physical set-up is turning out to be great, let's check the menu...

Michelle Williams in Chanel Haute Couture

Perfect na pang tinola! Chozzz lang pow! Baka multohin ako ni Heath Ledger!!!

And with this, we put KOI-Ture Awards to a long break. Next up! FAMAS (mas bongga to!)

KOIture Awards:SAG 2011 Edition (2nd of 2 Parts)

KOI-Ture Awards: SAG 2011 Edition continues! Missed part 1? Click here.

The other night I had a dream. Nasa red carpet daw ako. I'm not sure which Awards I was in basta there were cameras everywhere and stars were in their best gowns and suits. I walked down the red carpet and people were shouting my name while I was singing "Time of My Life" in my head.

Then I woke up. Leche. Late na ako. Time of my life pala ah! Wala na akong time!

So yeah pangarap ko talaga ang bumaba ng car habang pinipicturan ng maraming reporters. And I'll be wearing shades ala Miranda Priestly in Devil Wears Prada. I dunno when this will happen or how to make it happen but I just know it will. Wag lang yung parang nadawit sa scandal kaya hinahabol ka. Chuice!)

Anyway going back to the real topic, here are the winners!

Sofia Vergara in Roberto Cavalli

This latina bombshell was an explosion on the red carpet! From her tocino look last Golden Globes, she came back to life in this blue violet number which perfectly showcased her curves! Ay ang winner lang talaga!


Lea Michele in Oscar dela Renta

Yes she did it again! The sparkling nude dress accentuated with a thin gold belt was nothing but gorgeous. And just like any hollywood A-Lister, she seemed to have perfected the glamorous -dress-paired-with-an-out-of-bed-look way of dressing!

Rosario Dawson in J Mendel

The pale yellow was very suitable for her skin tone. You see, it would have been a disaster if nakiuso siya and wore nude as well. Simple cut but well accessorized with a pair of turquoise earrings that stood out beautifully. Eto ang effortless chic!


Mila Kunis in Alexander McQueen

It's always a big risk to come in a printed dress but this one did not fail. I believe the dress complemented not only her skin and hair color but also her "cat-like" eyes and her strong character.

Natalie Portman in Azzaro

Here's another one who came back from the grave. Goodbye red flower! Simple, clean, almost divine. Best of all, it highlighted the best accessory any woman could show off- her baby bump. Oh the joys of motherhood! (YES ALAM KO TALAGA)


Tova Traenaes in an unidentified dress

Here's another great accessory...wrinkles! Look at her, she looked regal and repectable. Queen na queen! And this is what you call graceful aging. Unlike old ladies still finding it hard to accept that they are no longer in their 20's.

Justin Timberlake in Simon Spurr

Always best dressed! Simple suit, simple two-striped tie but overall, his outfit looked sophisticated! Akin nalang!...Si JT. ECHOZ.
