Exclusive Q&A with Dina Bonnevie

Exclusive Q&A with Dina Bonnevie
INTERVIEW BY: ROMMEL LLANES
March 20, 2010 
 
Before all the cougars came clawing in, and before all them MILFs, there was miss Dina Bonnevie. Looking arresting in her December 2001 cover appearance, our dear miss D certainly made her point, made men look twice, made women feel empowered, too.
She then posed for the cover of the 2002 Girls of FHM special, and then from 95, shot up to number 12 in the 2002 FHM 100 Sexiest List Women of the World. Look for that issue and the nothingness that you will encounter will only prove what we've always felt: miss Dina is a goddess.

When I Grow Up

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer
By Gilda Cordero-Fernando

http://lifestyle.inquirer.net/relationships/relationships/view/20100912-291732/When-I-grow-up

It is following your heart rather than your guilt
I WANT to be like you when I grow up.” -Cheche Lazaro to Jetro Rafael, 30-year-old chef-patron of Van Gogh and a bi-polar who cured himself.

Recently, in one of those titillating surveys that lifestyle pages like to conduct, some older women were asked if they would agree to dating much younger men.

More On Boudoir Portraiture

In the recent post about Boudoir Photography, Pinay Cougar preferred the lens of the late Toch Arellano for such a project.  Having scoured the blogosphere for a photographer to take on the task, methinks that there's a hands-down winner.  Her name is Leah A. Valle.  She is also known as the 13thwitch.

One just has to view her portfolio to see that this photographer from Davao would do well to immortalize those bedroom poses of Pinay Cougars.

All praises for the 13thwitch, Leah Valle!  The only setback now is that her studio is in Davao.  Oh well, might as well sched a trip to Davao one of these days.

Interested in Modeling? It’s Not Too Late!

Last 2009, a 51-year-old model set the fashion scene buzzing on twitter.  According to news reports, ex- Chanel model, Ines de la Fressa, “stole the show” at the the Spring 2009 Gaultier show.

The lights are finally coming on as the fashion industry is beginning to turn its head to the “real” women who have the purchasing power for all these products being rolled out.  After all, it's us who do most of the buying.

Lately new modeling agencies are popping up that specialize in “older” models.  With this, there is still a chance to fulfill your lost dream of modeling!

Many older women are serving as an inspiration for women who want to start their career in modeling, but think it may be too late. We are always excited to see real women, as opposed to super tall, super skinny, teenage string beans modeling clothes meant for the masses.  The beauty industry seems to be starting to embrace mature models, as evidenced by the new TV reality show She’s Got The Look, which features women over 35 attempting to break into the fashion world a la America’s Next Top Model.  The New York Times also made this feature :

We encourage any woman with a dream to go after it! We searched the web for and spotted this 40+ model mom who looks gorgeous in a pose which easily reminds us of Dawn Zulueta.  Ladies, meet Melanie Velez Trani. Ain't she fabulous?!

Hayden Kho Launches His Perfume Line

Hayden Kho launched his line of perfume last Thursday, October 21, 2010.

With his medical license revoked due to the Katrina scandal, Hayden aims to be the first legitimate perfumer in the Philippines as there are none so far in this country.  The perfume line is aptly called, Hayden.

For the past months, he has been learning all he can about perfumery and scents.

He collaborated with Greg Banzon who is with RFM company. They discussed several business options but Hayden stressed that he wanted a beauty-related one. After looking through several beauty products, Hayden finally decided on perfumes.

No, he is not partnering with Dr.Vicky Belo, but instead put up his own company called Inovacao da Vida, Inc. meaning innovation of life in Portuguese. For Hayden, it holds a special meaning since it means you can change your life, you can innovate life. You’ve probably done a lot of wrong things in the past, but you can change things and make life better.

Hayden also contacted Takasago (Fragrance Creation Center in Paris) and asked them if they could hook him up with Yves Tanguy. Yves is the professor of fragrance creation in Versailles.

Hayden trained with them. "All the raw materials for fragrances were there. They taught us and tested us. I can’t say I’m an expert though, I’m not yet a nose. But I’m learning and training, and hopefully, someday, I will fulfill my fantasy of being the first perfumer in the Philippines."

The special edition is called Amberwoods and Rose Petals, and it’s in black.

The price for Hayden perfumes:
P680 for 100ml
P460 for 50ml
P280 for 120ml of tall PETs

Accoding to Hayden Kho, the bottles are very nice and very classy. Pefumes will be available in Hayden kiosks in the malls as well as in Watsons.

From Craigslist Manila : Female Bridal Boudoir Photographer (Metro Manila)

Female Bridal Boudoir Photographer (Metro Manila)

Reply to: serv-9zgm6-1977928841@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

As a woman I often take a self portrait boudoir and sometimes nude photography. Admit it, we ladies like to be photographed in nude or in boudoir photos but just to shy to admit it. And since most or shall I say almost all professional photographers here in the country are males. Women are often times embarrassed or if not their other half doesn't like the idea for their wives or girlfriends posing semi nude or nude infront of a male photographer with his male assistant and male lightsman in a hotel room.

I have been a professional photographer for a year handling events from weddings, christening, birthdays, debuts. But my passion lies in nude and Boudoir photography. I have done quite a lot for both Female and (believe it or not) male friends and now clients.

There will be a letter of agreement or contract to be signed by the client. To have no photos of their personal projects to be used on my advertising materials both in print and online unless clients are willing to have their photos feature in my website.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

A boudoir is a lady's private bedroom, sitting room or dressing room. The term derives from the French verb bouder, meaning "to pout"

A great deal of "boudoir" is now created in the photographer's studio or in luxury hotel suites, where it has become very fashionable to create a set of sensual images for women in "boudoir style". This often takes the shape of partly clothed images or images in lingerie, and has become more than just a passing fad for brides to surprise their future husbands. Although in the past there were many negative connotations associated with boudoir photography, in recent years the trend has begun to gain momentum, and the entire look of boudoir photography has begun to change.

Bridal boudoir photography is becoming particularly popular. Brides often have an album of boudoir style photographs made as a present for their soon to be husbands. Other common themes for boudoir photography are anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine's Day, weight loss, maternity, any form of body change or alteration (breast augmentation or reduction, etc.), and for soldiers overseas.
