Tali Eshkoli, Miss Universe producer in Israel: “The State of Israel once again proves that it stands alongside leading countries in the world that are capable of hosting international events of such significant size. Without a doubt, we have a great and extraordinary opportunity to expose Israel to hundreds of millions of viewers around the world, and I thank the Ministry of Tourism and the Eilat Municipality for their fruitful cooperation.”

From the end of November, competition contestants will arrive in Israel for three weeks of TV events, broadcast live around the world.

This is the first time I'm gonna post something different. I will not do product review but rather write something about the most talk about event of this year, especially to all Fashionista - the Victoria Secret Fashion Show 2016.
It Starts in Paris
As of this writing, we have 25 days-22 hours-06 minutes to witness the grandiose and magnificent appearance of the Victoria's Secrets Angels Line Up wearing different styles and designs of sexy lingerie and sleepwear, to be held at the Grand Palais in Paris this December 5, 2016, Monday, 10 PM EST.
 |
| A Retsospective: Exhibit their 2015 Runaway at their new 5th Avenue Store |
This is the first time that Victoria's Secret Fashion Show comes to the City of Lights for their Parisian Fashion Show.
WHAT TO EXPECT
 |
| Jasmine Tookes try on $3 Million Bra |
Introducing the $3 Million bra "The 2016 Bright Night Fantasy Bra" designed exclusively for Victoria's Secret by Eddie Borgo. It takes 700 hours in making this bra, because of its meticulous and very precise details: 9,000 gemstones. 450 carats.
See video here, how Jasmine Tookes discover she'll have the honor of wearing the 2016 Fantasy Bra for this year runway show.
I feel sad with the news, that Janine Tugonon misses the slots as one of the Victoria's Angels. It was a nice try Janine, better luck next time.
FINDING THE TALENT
There are 500 girls hoping to be part of the show. A tough job indeed for casting director, Mr. John Pfeiffer.
Good luck and congrats to the chosen one.
Anyway, let us meet the 12 Victoria's Secret Angels Line Up:
CREATING THE COLLECTION
When we talk about VS Fashion, there is a unique and stand up artistic vision behind every look of the models wearing it. The incredible designs and styles come to life as they hit the runway.

I was surprised when I saw his video on his Facebook page. I am an avid fan of him that is why, as I see his video I was greatly amazed.
Singing the song of Maroon 5 and Gwen Stefani's "MY HEART IS OPEN".
And what makes me admire about him is, how he feels
the song while singing with all the emotions and passion. Giggling enough hearing his voice, it's just that I'd never had a guy express his feeling through singing.

HarvFest is a 3 day event celebrating KADAYAWAN FESTIVAL 2014 with good food, good drinks, great friendship and a wonderful music.
For a brief period of time, a rave party is characterized as a lack of good guidance to our young generation of today but was able to change the glimpse of an alternative way of life, that everybody loves to FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO PARTY. Thanks to STARR DINEPARTYSHINE, MOON, CORK and BARREL, HYBRID and BLUE REEF BISTRO BAR for having this idea to put something different in a RAVE PARTY SCENE.
For the first time we want Davaoeños to experience a BAR HOPPING RAVE PARTY SCENE. A doors lead out into a place wherein there are seats and tables and a DJ stage is leaning towards the center of the event. It is the epicenter of the city bar's and this is where the action takes place.
The first kick off led by the residence DJ's of the respective organizing club bars were divided into two activities, other Dj's are inside the club playing their music while the others are making their music thingy in the center stage.
Second kick-off is AWESOME! We have DJ XFactor (International DJ/Producer/Remixer),DJ Astrid from Vanity Club, Cebu sexiest model DJ LV of CUBANA and DJ Yancy Moncatar.
With a surprise guest celebrities partying with us are from ABS-CBN PINOY BIG BROTHER ALL IN Stars, Fourth and Fifth Pagotan (twin brothers of GMA actress Chariz Solomon) and Michelle Gumabao aka the SPUNKY SPIKER of Quezon City.
Third kick off (the last day) of HarvFest 2014 is a BLAST!
We requested all the party goers who are in the bars to party outside and join the TWO DMC CHAMPION DJ M.O.D and DJ COKI.
Started by DJ Coki on stage, lot of people came out to join him.
Raving the party without the NEON and FOAM but still the PARTY LIVES ON!
Next in line is DJ M.O.D, the crowd went WET and WILDER.
Who said Davao doesn't know how to party? Simple as this gathering of people who are in the same mind, same heart, but with different races - that is DAVAO CITY.
It can be organized as ONE with a PARTY ATMOSPHERE. The time we celebrate the bountiful and miracles of life, to be surrounded with people who care and love us, and to see other faces and make friend with them, share stories and party with them.
Indeed a triumph for us party goers, who break into an area of a RAVE PARTY MOVEMENT.
This event is presented by the PARTY ANIMAL EVENT PRODUCTION, CIGNAL, GEERTECH, and MAGIC 89.9.
In cooperation with SMART, EMPERADOR DE LUXE, 8TELCOM, COLT45, SushiDito, Chikaan, Pioneers DJ, Johnnie Walker, MOJITOS TEQUILA, and JFB CAR TRADING.

Next in line is DJ M.O.D, the crowd went WET and WILDER.
Wet maybe because they sweat too much from RAVING.
WILD because they are all eager to dance and sing to the music as well.
