Therefore, today we are among the first countries to host an international event – the unifying Miss Universe.

When you're invited to a pageant, like GAY Beauty Pageant, the first notion is more of a display of wit and spectacle. It may be a harsh platform sometimes because they are judged by its sexual preference, but not in the aspects as human - their talents and character.
Davao City - December 9, 2019. A gathering of gays ages 30+ competing for the search of Ms. Gay Legendary 2019 organized by the management of Index Hair & Beauty Salon during their Annual Christmas Party held at the CAP Auditorium.
Competition of different Index Salon branches where each branch representative will be judged based on different categories: PRODUCTION NUMBER, NATIONAL COSTUME, TALENT PORTION, LONG GOWN, and Q&A.
Gay Pageant has been here in the Philippines since the 1970s. Contestants come from different backgrounds and professions with ages ranging from a very young age fourteen to more than sixty years old gathered to compete the crown.
Last year Index Hair & Beauty Salon had their Gay Pageant, but it's a competition of young gays, aged between 18 to 29 years old. This year, they want to honour their senior's colleague which they admire and respect.

Despite the strides made to break gender stereotypes, the LGBT community in the Philippines still feels that much has to be done to achieve acceptance and equality in a conservative and religiously-biased society. LGBT groups have continuously called for equal rights including legalization of same-sex marriage and the passage of the anti-discrimination bill.

In Davao, a gathering of beauties was held at Marco Polo with a theme contemporary ethnic. Social Media Influencers & Bloggers/Vloggers came in dressed in their best attire promoting self-care and self-love through a fiesta of charming beauties and handsome lad with a night of fun and laughter.
This event includes motivational and at the same time inspirational factors to all aspiring beauty product reviewers and users of Ever Bilena that we should be proud of. Now, we have local brands and products that make us hella proud to say "Yes, that's made in the Philippines."

Crowd Favorite! Why I choose this look? It suits my age. Thinking of an old Hollywood Glam era, sleek hairstyles -- the deep waves but classy in terms of makeups. Very simple and a bit of sexienes.
I'm in my 40s but talking about makeup it's more of a good habits and right discipline. The only advice I can give to my young & millennial readers is NEVER SLEEP WITH YOUR MAKEUP ON and NOT TO BE SWAYED BY OVERHYPED TRENDS. Always stick what looks good on you.
