As I have said in my previous entry, we were given a chance by our head stylist/ stylist for Bench, Mr. Noel Manapat to help out on Rajo Laurel's show for Bench for the Philippine Fashion week (May 27, 2012)!
Held at Function Room 5 of SMX: Welcome, to the RAJO Revolution! Rajo Uno, Rajo Dos!
So, I got to be an intern/assistant stylist under Mr. Rajo Laurel, and of course, Mr. Noel Manapat.
P.S. I dunno why, but I really love having I.D.s :)
 |
| The night before the show, one of our stylists reminded or rather warned us to wear clothes which we are comfortable moving in. Since it'll involve a lot of moving; I had to change what I was supposed to wear. |
 |
| I ended up wearing a white vneck top, gray (and comfy) cardigan from Oxygen, Bench carrot jeans, dark blue Dr. Martens, with a brushed-up hair for that sleek yet fashionable chill look I am going for. |
I know we're not part of Michael Cinco's show but since it was also a part of Bench, we also got the chance to go in and out of Function Room 4!

The whole Philippines was fussing about the America's Next Top Models' finalists, Allison Harvard of Cycle 12 and the All-Stars edition and Dominique Reighard of Cycle 10! Well, I got the chance to see them up-close for like an hour while they were having their hair and make up done. Might I say, both of them were gorgeous! We all had to keep our smize on!

| I had to make this picture extra large because she posed for me. I knelt down to get a better picture and she suddenly looked at the camera with her pretty face and EYES on! |

Now, we're going to where I am really assigned! To my fellow dancers! Fellow talaga, well I haven't danced for a while now. Anywho, going back, I was assigned to the dancers. They are the Philippine All Stars, whom I styled, G Force, UP Pep Squad, and CCP Bobcats!
With Gelai of the G Force! I did a quick interview and what I got was she is one of the core members of the G Force led and formed by Ms. Georcelle Dapat.

Everybody went crazy during and until the end of the show! Which only means, the Rajo Revolution was a success! Also, belated happy birthday to the designer himself, Rajo Laurel! :)

| With Ms. Dayrit and Gelai of G Force! |
So that's mostly it! I didn't get to take a lot of pictures because we were needed the whole time, getting their outfits, running from one place to another and stuff. Yes, it was stressful, tiring, and crazy. But it was all worth it! The show was a success, it ended with a blast, and everyone was just having fun! Even Sir Rajo danced with us! Though I don't have picture or a copy of that! I hope this won't be the last time I would be working with these people. They are so easy to work with! You won't even feel like your working!
