THE ‘IT GIRLS’

WEAR FASHION TRENDS FROM THE ‘70S

T

HE 1970s may be the most revisited decade ever for the fashion industry thanks to its unique revolutionary trend. During this period, women had the freedom to express themselves with whatever they wanted to wear—whether it was a pair of high cut boots or platform shoes, or tight-fitting pants or an A-line skirt.

HOW TO

STRIKING MAKEUP LOOKS

TIRED of the usual muted, “nomakeup” makeup looks? Them it’s about time to step out of your comfort zone and go for something adventurous, fun, and vibrant.

Take a page or two from the following makeup pegs created during the Bold Beauty event hosted by Ever Bilena and Ever Bilena Advance. The looks range from subtle boldness to all-out striking.

Always one step ahead of everyone when it comes to fashion, Anne Curtis, Liz Uy, Isabelle Daza, Solenn Huessaff, and Georgina Wilson—collectively known as the ‘It Girls’—lead the pack sporting some of the ‘70s fashion trends on a comeback trail.

High Cut Boots

Bell Bottoms and A-line Silhouettes

Women in the ‘70s chose their trousers very seriously. We first had flared pants which were then widened, paving the way for the bell bottoms, until eventually A-line trousers became a trend as well.

Exotic and tropical design patterns were also a hit back then.

They were a reflection of fashion designers’s inspiration from traveling in several foreign destinations around the globe.

Liz hits two birds with one stone in her Emilio Pucci bell bottoms with tropical prints.

Another popular footwear during this period were the edgy high cut boots. ‘70s fashion icon Debbie Harry was usually seen wearing high cut boots especially when she is about to set the stage with her sexy and daring persona.

One of the best ways to pull off this look is to wear a patterned or printed top with long V neckline. Complete your ensemble with a crossbody bag.

This look is a modern take on the grunge makeup trend that defined the 1990s. Let your smoky eyes do the talking by shading your eyelids with Ever Bilena Eyeshadow Palette in Brown, defining your lash lines with Ever Bilena All Day Eyeliner Pen, and applying a few coats of Ever Bilena Thicklash Mascara on your lashes. Finish off the look with a dark-colored lip shade, such as Ever Bilena Luxe Lipstick in Diva.

Berry Burst

Paint your face pink. Start off by applying Ever Bilena Eyeshadow Palette in Pink on your eyes. Add a little definition to your peepers with Ever Bilena Superlash Mascara in Black. Complete your bright, candy-colored look with a swipe of Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Vivid Violet on your lips.

Sporty Chic

In the latter years of the ‘70s, flared or any other wide pants weren’t working anymore for women. So they started wearing tightfitting pants, specifically the track suit, since sporty yet chic outfits became a hit due to the popularity of tennis.

As people opted for comfort, platform shoes, like the Gucci pair worn

by Anne, were their footwear of choice.

A RESCUER AT HEART PET TALES

BY DESIREE CARLOS

Conrad sleeping on Jen's chair

SHE has been rescuing strays for 10 years now.

It thus came naturally to her to comfort a wet, shaking pup who survived a terrible accident on Mindanao Avenue in Quezon City last Aug. 15. A cement mixer crushed a car, leaving the pup alone on the street when his owners were brought to the hospital.

Jenny B. Ramirez, a 37-year-old licensed criminologist, decided to take care of the pup while waiting for the owners to claim him.

One of the victims, Ulysses Ramos (who bought the pup for his two kids hours before the accident), died on the way to the hospital. His wife, Marife, and their two kids survived.

A trainee of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) brought the pup named Conrad to the office.

Ramirez, who works for the BJMP Directorate for Human Resources Development, saw the pup under the kitchen sink in the office,

took pity on him, immediately got him and hugged him tight.

“I placed him on my lap and comforted him. I wiped him with wet tissue. I bought puppy food because they told me he had not eaten anything since the night of Aug. 15,” Ramirez recounted.

“He pooped on my pants and on my chair three times I didn’t mind as I am used to such ‘unfortunate events’,” she said.

Ramirez recalled that two persons tried to get Conrad from them.

“A woman came, claiming she is the relative of Mrs. Ramos and that she was there to claim Conrad. I was hesitant to give the puppy. What if nagkukunwari lang na kamag-anak, para lang makuha ang dog. What if magnanakaw pala,” she said.

She recalled that another woman called and said she was going to adopt the pup, claiming the owner had died.

TJ Monterde makes good music together with his lady love, KZ Tandingan.

uploaded his videos online.

Although most of his tracks are certified chart-toppers, TJ’s still has minimal exposure on television that’s why people still ask who he is when someone mentions his name.

The singer doesn’t mind that though, instead, he expresses that it actually gives way for some amusing encounters with fans. He also shares his contentment about having a quiet relationship with KZ Tandingan.

TJ wrapped up his sold-out first solo concert entitled Ikaw at Ako: The Concert a few months ago at the Music Museum where he also launched his third album Kahit Kunwari. His latest album consists of five all-original acoustic ballads with “Mahika” as the title track. He is currently signed under PolyEast Records, which also released h i s newest record.

FAMILIAR BACKSTORY. TJ Monterde is a rising music star who started from being an Internet celebrity to becoming a bona fide pop artist.

She told the caller that the owner is alive and that they were only waiting for the owner to claim the dog. “I told the woman I will turn over the dog sa mommy lang niya.

Binagsakan ako ng telepono,” Ramirez recalled.

At around 9 p.m. last Aug. 16, she went to Funeraria Paz to turn over the pup to Mrs. Ramos.

“The guard said that dogs are not allowed inside. I said ‘Kuya, this dog belongs to the victims of the accident, I need to turn over this dog sa mayari.’ Fortunately, pumayag siya,” Ramirez said.

“The son immediately touched Conrad and called Conrad’s name. Parang miss

na miss niya ang dog. I turned over the puppy to Mrs Ramos,” she added.

She recalled the moment she handed over Conrad: “Mabigat sa pakiramdam, kasi mami-miss ko si Conrad. He was such a sweet dog. Mabait.”

“Naging emosyonal din ako sa loob kasi dama ko ang sakit ng nararamdaman nila. I hope Conrad’s presence will somehow ease the pain na na-e-experience nila ngayon.

Lumisan ako sa lugar na may konting kaluwagan sa aking dibdib because the puppy has already been reunited with his human family. I hope that one day I will see Conrad again,” she shared.

Model and showbiz newbie Gil Cuerva is recognizable in a sea of faces with his long locks

HE Internet caters to numerous talents that are often unheard of. With its power to create celebrities out of YouTube and other social media platforms, cyber fame has shown its magic in jumpstarting an artist’s career; proving that cyberspace is definitely a goldmine of talents. Take Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, and Troye Sivan for example. They all started from YouTube.

In the Philippines, meanwhile, rising balladeer TJ Monterde sets out an example how from being a virtual unknown YouTuber can dominate mainstream music scene. TJ recently dominated the Billboard Philippine top 20 with his four original tracks namely “Dating Tayo,”“Tulad Mo,”“Ikaw At Ako,” and “Ikaw At Ako Pa Rin,” which features longtime girlfriend, KZ Tandingan.

With his songs’ captivating lyrics complemented by his soulful voice, TJ charmed his way to the hearts of netizens, earning him a massive 1.5 million following on his social media account.

He started uploading his videos on YouTube back in 2011 and now, six years later, his channel has 37 thousand subscribers while his signature track “Ikaw at Ako”, which debuted as the original soundtrack for YouTube’s viral film entitled My Super Fan Girl , has amassed more than 33 million views.

Like many other singers, the road to TJ’s newfound fame wasn’t that smooth as anyone could imagine.

Leaving his career as a radio personality and a local TV host for ABS-CBN’s regional show MagTV, the 27-year-old singer-songwriter from Cagayan De Oro braved the concrete jungle of Manila to find a record label that’s willing to shelter his talent.

He auditioned as a VJ for Myx but didn’t make it.

His experience, however, paved way for unexpected opportunities. He met key people from the music industry and started doing voice-overs for television commercials. It was also around the same t i m e w h e n he first

NOT anytime soon. But if the situation calls for it, or if he’s given a role that requires him to sport a shorter do, he would cut his hair pronto.

Every guy with long locks has specific reasons why they avoid the barber shop. Maybe it’s a statement, or a story, maybe it’s about his character and who he is. Maybe he just doesn’t like getting his hair cut.

For My Love From the Star actor Gil Cuerva, keeping his hair long is more than just a statement, its keeping his identity that separates him from all the rest.

“I feel like it gives me an identity. It makes me unique, it makes me who I am. I’ve always wanted to have long hair, even when I was a kid, but I couldn’t do it because of school,” the newbie actor revealed during a recent interview.

He further stated that back when he was in grade school and high school at Ateneo de Manila University, he already wanted to grow his hair but because of the hair cut rule, he had to keep his locks short and neat.

“I think the haircut rule suppresses your freedom to actually express yourself, in terms of hair. I really don’t get that rule that we really needed to have a short hair,” he said.

Gil is currently undergoing acting workshop in preparation for his next TV projects.

Ramirez, mother of a fouryear-old boy, describes herself as a “dog lover and mother of 11 dogs.” She was 17 when she had her first dog, Bonjing, in Zamboanga. The dog died at the age of 18.

In 2007, she got Buddy, her first dog in Manila.

Since then, she has brought home a lot of sick dogs.

“Kahit maliit ang bahay ko, pinilit kong alagaan sila. Kasi ayaw ko nang pakalat-kalat sila. Kawawa sila, wala silang pagkain at walang bahay,” she said.

There was a time a dog was left in a plant box.

“Parang mamatay na ang dog. Inuwi ko siya, pinaliguan, ginamot ko ang duguang galis sa buong katawan. I named that dog Sunny. Sabi ko, ‘may pag-asa ka pa Sunny, gagamutin kita.’ Gumaling siya,” she re-

called.

Responsible rescuing Ramirez urged people who find dogs on the streets to look for their owners and to return them. She stressed these pets are members of the family to many owners.

“Masakit sa kanila o sa atin kung mawala o nawala ang alaga natin. Parang anak lang din yan kung nawala sa atin, gagawin natin ang lahat para mahanap ang ating anak.” she said.

Ramirez added, “I am not rich. But as long as I can help, I will. There are other rescuers and I know they, too, lack the resources But if we won’t do it, who will? Please be kind to God’s creations.”

BEA ALONZO WANTS TO WORK WITH

CAN YOU BELT IT LIKE ARIANA GRANDE?

GONG YOO

DANGEROUS WOMAN. International pop superstar Ariana Grande applies some strategic poise as her voice sailed out over the Mall of Asia Arena on Monday.

By Nickie Wang

A

MERICAN pop superstar Ariana Grande emerged from the floor to perform her duet with Nicki Minaj, “Side To Side.” While bouncing along on an exercise bike and dancing among the equipment with shirtless male dancers, she was singing live. She was doing it for almost a minute and didn’t show any hint of exhaustion.

During the 90-minutes concert, Ariana Grande showcased her incredible vocal talent, backed by a solid band and crew of dancers

If it was an ordinary singer, the person would have wheezed from the time he opened his mouth to belt out the first note.

Obviously, nobody can do it like Ariana because dancing and pedaling on a stationary bike in rapid succession while singing at the same time is a tough act that can only be done

by a superhuman.

The American pop superstar brought Mall of Asia Arena stage to life during the Dangerous Woman World Tour on Monday, which marks her second sold out concert in Manila. The 90-minute and 21-track show was underscored by the 24-year-old diminutive chanteuse’s powerful vocals and infectious energy. It’s good to note that Ariana was even under the weather during the show.

“Thank you, guys! I’m really sick today but you guys made me feel so much better. Mahal kita!” Ariana told the crowd at the Smart Music Live-sponsored concert.

In a separate Instagram post after the two-hour concert, she poured more love for Filipino Arianators saying, “Manila, I love you always! Thank you for having me and for always bringing me so much light! Whenever I’m under the weather, you give me so much life.”

She added, “Thank you for your love, your sincerity, your sense of humor and overall you-ness. You stay recharging me. I love you with all my heart and appreciate you more than you know. Mahal kita!”

Ariana won the hearts of people around the world by returning to the stage just three weeks after a suicide bomber attacked her concert in Manchester in May. All-grown up and showing the world how to rise above a tragedy as devastating as the bombing that happened during her concert, asserted her hold over a sold out concert in spite of the rains that flooded some parts of the metro.

With about 10 dancers joining her onstage, Ariana stretched her vocals and dance moves while singing her hits like “One Last Time,” “Let Me Love You,” “Bad Decisions,”“Touch It, Leave Me Lonely,” “Bang Bang,” “Love Me Harder,” “Break Free,” and an emotional rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” which she dedicated to all her fans especially those who died and got injured during her concert in Manchester.

While Ariana did not need any extravagant stage design – her vocals as her instrument and her undeniable stage presence were more than enough to punctuate her Manila tour a resounding success. But there’s no denying that Ariana Grande had five costume people have set high expectations changes, from black ensemble, she on Ariana’s second concert in Machanged to white, then grey, and back to black for her finale nila.

Many regarded the 2015 show as her best yet. In fact, Honeymoon World Tour can be encapsulated into three words – surprising, entertaining and deafening. Though the concert on Monday was still full of rabid fans screaming from the top of their lungs, the words surprising and entertaining are hardly the right adjectives to describe the Dangerous Woman Tour, unless of course you’re an avid fan.

The show opened with Ariana backed up by some dancers grooving through the first song of the night. Initially, one wouldn’t realize that Ariana was actually already part of the lineup due to lack of appropriate lighting (the stage was dark all throughout). Her wardrobe that consisted of black and grey most of the time made her almost unrecognized onstage, if not for her signature ponytail-draped-over-a-shoulder do, she would have blended with her backup dancers.

Unlike the scenes from Honeymoon Tour that looked perfect even in pictures taken with a smartphone, Dangerous Woman was the complete opposite. Nonetheless, it was still a perfect show for the audience – many of whom are cat-ear-sporting teens who follow the pop star like she’s the “Dangerous Woman Tour” is all about only singer on vocal showcase and Ariana Grande’s the planet. mature transformation
