FHM 100 Sexiest..

Last Thursday, World Trade Centre was overflowing with men of all ages as they witness the annual FHM 100 Sexiest. Lines outside the venue started to form as early as 7 in the evening and snaked its way all the way to the main gate. I had to meet Nelson Canlas of GMA 7 who was doing a live feed of the event for News On Q as well as for Saksi. He gave me a ticket for the event.

As usual, I strode past the security guards and went straight to the backstage area, a strictly off-limits part of the venue since all the girls were either dressing up or shall we say, in various form of undress. I bumped into Gwen Garci in the hallway and she told me how a trusted friend of hers used her credit card to purchase a Louis Vuitton wallet in Greenbelt 4. The person is in my Multiply list and I was really shocked to hear about this, we thought they were good friends.

Inside the dressing room, I saw Tina Daniac who is dressing up Katrina Halili for the finale. Tina Daniac is the reason I was able to be in the backstage area since she made me pass as a stylist, although I want to thank Luz for giving me a VIP stamp. It is sad to know that Luz is leaving Summit when she is one of the nicest persons, and she has been Lisa Gokongwei Cheng's assistant for the longest time.

Katrina was still in Sofitel so I sat down with Tina and we spoke about Hong Kong Fashion Week. I cannot imagine seeing a goodlooking male model who was doing a short game onstage, I bet he was having a hard on surrounded by almost 100 women in the flesh. When Katrina finally arrived, the show has already started. Other celebrities in attendance other than Katrina and Gwen were Iwa Moto, Bianca King, Kristine Reyes, Michelle and Ehra Madrigal, Maureen Lardizabal, Alyssa Milano, the EB Babes, and host of other beauties. The host for the night was Asia Agcaoili, and the theme of the night was "rocker chic".

The show finally ended at around 12 midnight. After the show, Katrina decided to invite us for a night cap at her bar, "Barrakz", located at Tomas Morato. I joined her and Tina as well as other friends. We ended up at around 3 am, and Katrina brought us home in Makati. Katrina will be seen as the arch nemesis of Marian Rivera in GMA 7's remake of "Marimar". She won two years in a row as FHM Sexiest in the Philippines, and we are all praying she makes it again for 2008.
