Fashion Pedophilia?

French Vogue features a 10 year old child as a grown woman in one of their January fashion editorials. With muk-ups and heels ha! Taray or Aray?

This thought-provoking controversial chu-chu is too much to some but Art to others. Was the child exploited to attain high artistry? Are the Make up and stiletto Heels age-appropriate? Are the poses too suggestive? Maybe not as the way i look at it. Perhaps to some it does matter. Or baka kung batang lalaki yan, ewan ko lang! Chos!

Her name is Thylane Blondeau. She'll grow up to be the next Kate Moss.

Fashion is such a queer form of art. Its affection to kooky facts makes it bizarre. The more unconventional it is, the more it is talked about. Not so long ago, Fashion Bestiality, with its love for animals, (Fur, et al) was loathed by some but adored by others. And now comes Fashion Pedophilia. What's your take?

LTE's Vogue-Philippines

Discussion ng mga Bakla: Kung biglang naging Manny Villar - rich ka at nasasa-iyo ang Franchise ng Vogue- Philippines, sino ang i-feature mo as cover ng debut issue ng Fashion Magazine na kokontra sa Mega at Preview?

Of course, syempre dapat Pinay! Vogue-Philippines nga eh. Mahirap anetch? Kung LTE lang ang may power..... sampu lang ang pinagpipilian namin. Eto sila in random order:

1. Melanie Marquez: Suggestion ni Ekra. Gosh ha, ang tanda nya na. magmukhang matronicougar ang datesh ng Vogue-Philippines nyan. But Ekra insists. We willl concentrate raw on The History of Philippine Fashion sa first ever issue. True, Mimilanie is a big part of it naman. Kaya pasok ang gagah! Gawing trendy lang raw ang make-up! Pwede na!

2. Charo Ronquillo and Charlene Almarvez (embracing each other sa cover, nude): Suggestion ko naman to para young ang dating and pang international pa. (Eh si Mimilanie, Miss International naman ah? Ching!). It will set the standard na di celebrity magazine ang Vouge-Philippines but truly more on Fashion and Glamour. It should spell ART and not ARTista!

3-4. Or maybe just Charlene without Charo or vice-versa! I am sure, kayang kaya nilang mag-isa! Bigyan pansin ang sariling atin!

5. Ruffa Gutierrez: Kawadjan Mae suggests. Well, pwede dahil si Ruffa ay all support naman sa ating mga local designers. At maganda naman ang bruha. But is she Chic enough? Wag lang syang magpa-sweet, OK na. In other words: Ruffa ala mode!

6. KC Concepcion: Ang Vogue-Philippines ay dapat pang masa din dahil ito ay para sa lahat ng mga Pinoy. Why not that Marian girl na lang kung pang masa man lang? Hello? Wala syang Class katulad ni KC. I remember ang first issue ata ng Mega Magazine ay si Tita Shawie ang cover. Well, KC's beauty will surely be a hit katulad ng Nanay nya! Say nyo?

7. Alessandra de Rossi: Kung artista lang naman ang i-cover, dapat payat na at mukhang model naman, sabi ni Mama O. Eh di si Alex na! Davu? Aliw na aliw pa naman kami sa beauty nya. Kahit half-half ang loka, pasok pa rin sya! At wag ka... para naman baklang-bakla ang ating first cover. Gooo!

8. Ria Bolivar: Do we need to explain why? Ang di naka-kakilala kay Ria ay isang walang kwentang baklaaa! Charoooot!

9. Cassie (Cassandra Ventura): Yep, that half-Pinoy singer, 1/4 Black, 1/4 Latino. She got the look of a model naman but... yeah, again, she's half. We want more home-grown sana as much as possible sa first-ever issue. She's to represent the true Pinay beauty dapat. Pero kakaiba ang beauty ni Cassie cassie, we'll see. Pwede na rin si Vanessa or Nicole but Cassie is still our best choice kung half-half lang naman ang pag-uusapan. Tse!

10. An Unknown: Para kakaiba. Pag-uusapan ng mga Pinoy Fashionistas na kung bakit sya? Dapat yung na discover sa Palengke or sa Surigao Beach, nagbebenta ng shells, someone like that. And it will create a big statement: Kahit sino ka man at kahit saan ka man galing sa ating 7000 islands, you can be fashionable and stylish if you want to... the Pinoy way! Vogue!

-----O----

Never in our list: Marian Rivera!!!! Si Kris Aquino pwede pa... pero not sa debut issue. Medyo may pagka-baduy ang the new first lady of our country! Agree?

Kayo? Sino ang pipiliin nyo? Pls lang! Gandahan nyo!

The Pinoy Fashion Look

Filipinos are everywhere!!! From Dubai to Chang Mai; Tokyo to Toronto; plus Mississippi .... and even Papua New Guinea! but internationally, they can never be seen in Fashion Magazines. Until 2010.... here we come:

Charlene Almarvez (far right): V Magazine

Charo Ronquillo: Glamour (US)

Sharina Gutierrez: Elle (US)

What's next? Sabayan si Monique? (Go Ekra! Go Ekra! Go!)

PS. Take note! Walang Mestiza or Mestizo churvalo kina Paolo, Charene, Sharina and Charo. Tama na muna ang mga half-half na yan! Pls lang!
