Divas 4 Divas

As a Valentine present to Jeff, I got us tickets to see the four "Divas" of the Philippines: Pops Fernandez, Kuh Ledesma, Zsa Zsa Padilla and of course Miss Regine Velasquez, my all time favourite Philippine singer. Here's a pic of who all went just before the doors opened. As soon as the four of them came out, I immediately noticed the shoes. They are from Louis Vuitton's Spring Summer 2009 Collection. Each of them, except Kuh was wearing a pair. Zsa Zsa was actually wearing the Spicy Sandal I featured last month. These are the best shots that my point and shoot camera can take: The night progressed with a lot of popular Philippine and English songs that took me back to my life back home. The fashions were amazing with glittering gowns and fine ensembles that could vie for any Red Carpet that the US can dish out. Singer, song-writer Martin Nievera made a guest appearance and sang several tunes as the ladies changed outfits. He also added to the comic relief. And then all of a sudden they had a skit about how they equate the LVoe of a man on how much Louis Vuitton he could give them among other brands. Here's Martin presenting his ex-wife, Pops, her Manhattan PM. The night ended beautifully with a robust number of sappy love songs like "My Heart Will Go On" and "Butterfly". To cap it all off, Jeff & I jostled with hundreds of Filipinos for our meet and greet and even though I look like a bus just hit me with my neck all gone and my face flattened, I still garnered praises for my Queen Mara from the Divas. Amidst the turmoil here are their comments: Regine: "Puwede bang akin na lang Louis Vuitton mo?!" as she grabbed it to herself with an OPEN MARKER!!! (Can I have you Louis Vuitton?!) Zsa Zsa to Jeff who's my official photographer: "You look very familiar to me." I had to tell Zsa Zsa: "No, no, he's my Jewish Partner". Zsa Zsa: "Did you see our shoes at the opening act. Why don't they give us Louis Vuitton's like your bag?" Kuh: She didn't care. Pops: " I love your bag." Martin: Clueless that I was carrying Louis

    Yay! This was one of the most-awaited concerts in Manila last year. It's just that before the girls flew there, there were lots of intrigues! Regine called Kuh "kuripot" for not providing enough budget for costumes and flights (prolly that's why all of them were wearing LV shoes and were drooling over your LV, except for Kuh!)

    Hmmm, what if ate Chona got to stain your LV with her marker? would you still lover her? haha! :D

    Hey man,

    Why you always carrying ladies's purses? I mean you're a dude, DUDE!!! I LVoe LV more than the next guy, my wife and I have quite a collection but I keep my players on the right team if you know what I mean. Granted, LV offers more women's selection than men's but there's a reason for that!! To each his own but man, that is some weird stuff. I mean come on man, african "QUEEN", not African KING........

    Hey Anonymous,

    All my life, I was never bound by conventions. No one tells me what I can or cannot do. Even Louis Vuitton. Thanks for visiting my blog.

    I'm surprised that you still post some annoyed message...as long as you pay for the bag, no one has the right to tell you what to carry or not...just irritate some idiots sometimes...love your blog...keep me awake at work :)

    Maybe Kuh had a lot of things to think about (being the co-producer of concert) than to bother herself with LV or brand signatures for an outfit/accessories. Besides, her glamor is still a stand-out for whatever she wears. The rest of the girls (ZsaZsa, Pops & Regine) may be that brand-conscious. And even Hollywood artists never boasts the brand name of their outfit, coz they are not too ignorant on that (like Filipinos)
