NATORI Show Part I- Guests- Watching

I just came back from the Natori show, and it was fantastic! Runway report tomorrow 🙂 Watch out for it, because you will be impressed like I was. The fabrics used were all gorgeous!!

Now let’s rewind to the few hours before the show: I was secretly worrying about not having anything to wear. But I had faith in my new clothing partner, Ms.CPR — the designer behind “8 and a HALF“. She said she will have me in her dress in time for the party. I have to admit, I wasn’t worried about the dress not arriving because I know she delivers when she says she would. I was actually worried that it won’t fit me! We both only realized early in the afternoon today that I had NOT given her my waistline measurements yesterday! The numbers I have her for the dress were : shoulder to shoulder, arm(pit) hole, and desired length! I just also mentioned that I am normally a medium, fluctuating between a 4 and a 6, but as of late, I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve moved to between a 6 and an 8. That was all she had to work with. Seriously!

Then 6pm came and the gown got delivered at Tresorie. I loved the style. I rushed to try it on. And oh mah Gawd, it fit me like a glove!!!! (despite my being richer with pork barrel handles too!) Ok, Ms.CPR you are officially a genius 🙂 *I decided to wear thong sandals because my feet were killing me :(*

I was sooooo deliriously happy. And the whole gown was VERY well made– like if I turned the dress inside out, it’s “clean”! 8 and a HALF is definitely going to have a few clients wanting to have this same dress made now 🙂 *From what I know, 8 and a HALF will have a shorter version of this dress* I was just too proud to wear this dress tonight since I’m the first one to wear the brand’s made-to-order/measure gown and it drew lots of positive comments too *beams brag brag 😀 lemme brag just this once, ok? Coz no one noticed that I gained weight HAHAHA*

Ok, back to the socialclimbing of Mrs.T 🙂 *Oye this has not happened in a VERY long time too :D*

Our tablemates also included Tessie Sy- Coson (Chairman of Banco De Oro.. owner of ShoeMart or SM, the biggest mall chain in the Philippines!!), and Aunt Nancy and Nessie 🙂 *Wooohoooo and Mrs.T rubs elbows and social climbs with the peeps “up there” once more hahaha… boy am I a good social climber or what?! Oye I deserve the SC of the year award WoooHooo!!* (Gosh I hope she ain’t reading this blog or I’ll be PNG at SM haha.. and there I was, tempted to ask her for an SM discount card… take note, not an advantage card but a discount card! Shameless eh? Hahaha)

Not-so-late-comer Supreme king TimY still made it in time 😀 *He and I haven’t seen each other in a looong time coz I’ve been hibernating… haha and I plan to hibernate again after tonight hahaha… I need to lose weight* Darn, I wish I had his skin… it’s so smooth 🙁 Meanwhile, I’m not really THAT old yet, but my face is all wrinkly with dark circles under my eyes already, and a growing acne farm 🙁 I swear, I have a face only my DM can love 🙁 *SOB*

Anyway, apres the show, DM and I made a beeline to the exit when we were both introduced to the celebrated designer herself! *Ok, truth: Only DM was introduced haha. But I had to sneak behind them to be photographed *you know, proof to you peeps that I “met” her haha. Tsk. Pathetic and pretentious Mrs.T strikes again haha* . Meanwhile, that’s DM to Natori’s right hahaha* Oooh and check out the earrings of Josie! *drooooooool again*

Every guest walked away with loot too 🙂 A cookbook (which I reallly, reallly looove reading– aha, you hags didn’t know I love to cook, eh? *wink!*), Olay Total Effects, something from Clarins and Dior, a GC from Rustans (for the Murad Spa), and a compli copy of Town and Country with Josie Natori on the cover 😀
Not a bad night indeed! And may I also mention that the food served tonight was really good? (I didn’t want to take photos of the food anymore or my seatmates and tablemates might think I’m weird *I AM weird, but they don’t have to know that hahaha. I was seated with these bigwigs and I had to beeeehave or DM will thwap me til kingdom come haha :D*)

Alrighty peeps, I think I gave you a pretty comprehensive report of the party already. Tomorrow, I shall talk about the program and show itself 🙂

Hope to see you peeps at Tresorie tomorrow! Thanks again for allowing me to do some kinda plugging 😀
