    MANILA, Philippines - Joji Felix Velarde, an icon in the fashion and beauty pageant scene, died last Thursday at the age of 73.

    Fondly called Tita Joji, she was the vice president for external affairs of Carousel Productions, producer of the Miss Philippines-Earth and Miss Earth beauty pageants.

    An accomplished ballerina, child actress, top fashion model and perennial cover girl, Velarde was considered a second mother by many national and international beauty queens.

    Velarde was also crowned the first Miss Aviation in 1954 and after her career as a model, she got involved and active in the Mutya ng Pilipinas and Miss Philippines-Earth beauty pageants, honing many aspiring national beauty queens until the very end.

    Her answer came quick and easy, and she didn’t stammer nor hesitate at all, showing her presence of mind and grace under pressure.

    Aboard Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong, along with fellow Astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, had just landed on the moon (“One small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind,” said Armstrong), the first man ever to accomplish that feat, and Miss Universe pageant host Bob Barker, euphoric like every human on earth, read the critical and decisive question to each of the five finalists, four of whom inside a sound-proof cubicle: If the man on the moon should come down to Earth and visit your hometown, what would you do to entertain him?

    This towering beauty was born in Manila but now lives in Paranaque City with her family. She is not new to the world of beauty pageants since her aunt is a former Ms. Philippines International and her older sister Kate Manalo-Hernandez was Ms. Philippines World.

    Fiercely independent, driven and bestowed with keen sense of volunteerism, Bianca finds fulfillment in being inbvolved in communi...

    Not quite recovered from the car accident that nearly claimed his life, Richard Gutierrez is doing a movie that will surely bring back memories of his traumatic experience. In Patient X, which he himself is producing under R Gutz, his newly-formed outfit, Richard plays a doctor with a patient who has a secret identity played by Cristine Reyes who replaced Heart Evangelista after she begged off due to an appendectomy.

    “I seemed to have developed a phobia for hospitals,” confessed Richard. “But I was told that the best way to overcome a phobia is to confront it.”

    Co-produced with GMA Films and Viva Films, Patient X, a Halloween offering, reunites Richard with Yam L...

    Malan Breton showed his Spring 2010 collection on a Monday morning, a fact that didn't stop him from having a very evening appropriate show: an orchestra, ballerinas and lots of luxurious fabrics helped to create the mood. Malan is one of those designers who rarely follow trends, each season he creates an updated look for his customers, which this season for the first time include men. As much as I was charmed by Malan's embellished evening dresses, his silk and brocade men's suits were particularly stunning. Branching out into menswear was a great move by Malan Breton, especially because so few designers explore the luxurious look within this category. ~ Yuli Ziv
