poetry – The Pin-up Girl Manila

Last nights celebration went to Apags at Route 196! Not only was it his birthday, but his new tshirt launch. Poetees is a line that features local poets and their works. It’s a great take on fashion and art. The night was a lot of fun, with many bands that performed just for Apags. (spoiled much? hehehe) Bands such as Tanya Markova and Mayonaise. I brought along my friend Trish, who many of you may know now as the pusblished poet. It was a great event being able to meet many new people and have a few beers. Happy Birthday Apags!

The look for the night was a r
ockabilly look. Victory rolls in play! (Sadly, humidity took over and I had to take them out before leaving the house. ugh.)

Top: Uniqlo (Php 750)

Skirt: Westfield (Australia) (Php 1,200)

One of my best friends has recently been published in a new collection of poetry and short stories. She is one of many well-established Filipino writers. I am so proud of her! Ever since high school, we were the bookworms. We even took the English elective together! So seeing how far she’s come at such a young age makes me so teary eyed.

I attended the book launch at PowerBooks Greenbelt 4. Many of the writers were in attendance as well as the two editors Noelle De Jesus and Mookie Katigbak-Lacuesta. The book is titled ‘Fast Food Fiction Delivery’ which you can grab a copy at your nearest major bookstore (Php 220)

My outfit for the day was just a simple black on black with a teal peplum skirt. Bettie-bangs were styles today and a casual winged liner.

Go go and order that fast food fiction!
