Changing Lives: Timbaland Presents the Shock Value II Tour

The most anticipated concert of the year just got bigger with the addition of Justin Timberlake and Jojo to the “Changing Lives: Timbaland Presents the Shock Value II Tour.” The benefit concert presented by Smart Buddy at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds on March 27th, 2010 will benefit the PLDT Smart Foundation with all net proceeds donated to the charity.

TIMBALAND l For more than a decade, super-producer Timbaland has dominated the pop charts by producing an endless stream of hits for the likes of Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, 50 Cent and Nelly Furtado. So prolific a hitmaker is he that in the span of a single year - 2006-2007 - the multiple Grammy Award winner produced more than 10 International chart-toppers, including Nelly Furtado’s “Promiscuous,” Timberlake’s Sexy Back, and 50 Cent’s “Ayo Technology”. Timbaland has been hailed by musicians and music critics alike as a sonic auteur in the tradition of such iconic, history-making producers as Brian Eno, Gamble and Huff, and Phil Spector.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE l Justin Timberlake is a singer/songwriter/producer actor and entrepreneur. He has become an accomplished artist who is now widely-considered one of pop culture’s most influential entertainers. Timberlake came to fame as a member of the pop group *NYSNC and through a successful solo career, has gone on to win 6 Grammy Awards, 2 Emmy Awards and dozens of accolades from around the world.

JOJO Joanna l “JoJo” Levesque is an international Recording Artist, Songwriter, and Actress.  She shot to fame with her Multi-Platinum debut album, JoJo.  At the age of thirteen, she was setting records as the youngest Solo artist in U.S. history to have a #1 single and the youngest nominee ever for an MTV Video Music Award - “Best New Artist”.  Her follow up release, The High Road, also garnered JoJo platinum success with its lead single, “Too Little Too Late”, which broke Billboard Magazine’s record for the biggest jump in the history of their charts from #66 to #3 in just one week. JoJo’s acting career includes co-starring with Emma Roberts in the Fox motion picture film, Aquamarine.  JoJo’s follow up film, RV, co-starring Robin Williams and Cheryl Hines debuted at #1 at the Box Office upon its release.

Dex Fernandez and - + *

Come to the first solo exhibit of Dex Fernandez, - + *, from January 20 to February 24, 2010, at PABLO Fort, Taguig.

There are more joys and brand new pains we ought to embrace and expect to be coming in as there is no definite thing in this world but death and change and perhaps, the evolution of symbols, maybe? There are few more other things you have yet to unearth and know. And what you don’t know just won’t hurt you. And what doesn’t hurt us doesn’t mean anything at all as hurting, falling, living, and dying is all part of the process of uncovering a symbol or being a symbol yourself. Because if you don’t symbolize anything, it only means one thing: That you do not exist.

STYLE YOURSELF AT THE PUMA® STORE

This holiday season, enhance your street style with Puma and win P20K worth of stuff plus be on the Puma Style Guide to be released in 2010!

Manila, Philippines – Gone are the days when Puma used to be associated with sports and athletic wear. If you’re in the know of street and lifestyle wear, you should know that Puma is now emerging as one of the top brands known for being stylish and unique. With the designer Hussein Chalayan at the helm as Creative Director and a long list of designer collaborations including Alexander McQueen, Yasuhiro Mihara and Sergio Rossi, Puma surely will never be out of the fashion and street culture radar.

This holiday season, Puma invites everyone to style themselves and incorporate in their own fashion statement stuff from the Fall-Holiday 2009 collection. The store staff will take the snapshots. Those who will be chosen will get P20,000 worth of Puma stuff plus a chance to be on the Puma Style Guide to be released in 2009. There will be one (1) winner per store or a total of nine (9) Puma style setters nationwide. Be among the first to join and get a special gift (limited stocks only) just by participating.

The style selection at Puma is endless. Puma’s in the business of making you feel good and look good so a Puma Store is always well-stocked. Pair your fave bright Suedes with a grungy flannel shirt both from the Archive Collection. Or get out your comfort zone and pair PUMA LIFT shoes from the Running Collection with the classic Edition Windbreaker. For the ladies slip in those tights from the Women’s Fitness Collection under a Sailing Dress then finish off with the Super Beats shoe. Another suggestion would be the funky 917 japanimation inspired Mid Mangas with a Heritage Tee. But who’s to dictate - of course you do have your own stuff to style Puma with.

The Jing Monis Salon, formerly known as Propaganda, re launched itself together with Schwarzkopf’s Organic Hair Color , Care and Styling range, Essensity in early October of 2009, proving to have a swell end of the year. But before the year comes to a close, The Jing Monis Salon decided to celebrate the Christmas Season with another interesting treat.

As an added bonus, HP Philippines and The Jing Monis Salon have come together launching the first ever Business Lounge Service within a Salon.

It is truly a swell Christmas Season this year for The Jing Monis, and what better way to enjoy the holidays? We can’t think of any.

GATE ONE: Today’s New Fashion Generation

Cinderella Marketing Corporation (CMC), the over-all local distributor- franchisee of ESPRIT, British India, Pierre Cardin, NafNaf, Osh Kosh B’Gosh and Clarks, is soon to open a new gateway for another global brand in the Philippine fashion arena. The well-renowned pillar of our thriving retail industry boasts of its latest international brand acquired – GATE ONE, a contemporary fashion for the dynamic young.

Started off from one of the world’s most beautiful avenues and most popular streets, Champs Elysees of Paris, France, where fashion is everywhere, GATE ONE is the ideal blend of brilliance and simplicity. From 1996 when its first store was opened until today, GATE ONE continuously emerges as a well-liked fashion for the youth, and has conquered almost all of the continents of the world - Eastern Europe, Middle East, Asia and Africa; with booming sales demands from France, Poland, Greece, Russia, Slovakia, Germany, Portugal, Croatia, Czech Republic, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Australia, India, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Dubai, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Cyprus, Canada, Angola, Egypt, and Algeria. And finally here in the Philippines, Cinderella Marketing Corporation paves the way for GATE ONE!

Carrying its strong brand philosophy - youth, freedom and comfort, GATE ONE will surely suit the taste in style of our young fashionistas in the country, who are nowadays becoming more than go-getters and trend-setters. With their active lifestyle, youthful vibe and forceful drive in life, today’s young Pinoy fashionistas are definitely perfect match with the brand.

Aside from fashion itself, GATE ONE also values simplicity as well as details - like pearl embroidery and totem decorations (somewhat comparable with Bohemian). The brand believes in multi-cultural fashion as it trails intricate and delicate details apparent in its designs, and balances contrast and integration, combining both material and techniques.

The introductory collection (for Fall / Winter) of GATE ONE in the Philippines includes the following ensembles – (for femmes) ash blue and white striped sleeveless stretch mini dress with draw-string, tie-dye yellow and white sleeveless tunic top with chest lace details, overlapping painted white V-neck shirt in spaghetti-strapped silvery purple mini dress, corn yellow knitted cardigan with purple sando top in coral detailed mini skirt, light blue and olive green buttoned checkered dress-shirt in butterfly-designed stockings, red-white striped V-neck hanging knit top in white cropped shorts; and (for hommes) graphic cream tee in draw-stringed khaki soft pants, khaki long-sleeves cardigan with knitted stripe details in cream sando and blue-white plaid cargo walking shorts, white-grey wide-striped polo shirt in straight-cut denim, buttoned polo shirt in rust orange-dark blue checks.

With all these young and vibrant fashion hodgepodge plus more, there’s no way Pinoy fashionistas will only come one by one (but rather, all in one big bunch!).

GATE ONE is now open here in the Philippines at Cinderella Alabang Town Center, Cinderella SM Megamall, Cinderella Virramall and Cinderella Glorietta.
