December 2-3 - I barely had time to take a vacation from my Naga vacation when I had to style for the finale of Survivor Philippines. Now most of you know that I don't watch much television, so I had no idea what I was getting into when the project was first proposed to me. All I knew was that this edition would be the "Celebrity Edition" and that I had to style the whole cast.

Everything sounded cool to me, because it seemed like a not-so-stressful project, since their outfits would be provided by fashion design legend Rhett Eala, and I just had to accessorize.

Taking a cue from the show itself, the production team wanted the styling to be nature-inspired and organic:

All went well during the rehearsals, and everyone was in a chillax vibe:

So I was feeling really positive when I arrived bright and early the next morning for the taping. What I didn't consider was that the finale was live and the cast would be separated in 4 different dressing rooms located in 2 floors.

So up and down we (me + the hair & makeup team) went to get everyone dolled up and ready to roll. I almost wanted to curse myself for wearing 4-inch wedge boots on that day, but one has to suffer for fashion, I guess.

I run in high heels (or in this case, wedege boots)

After last-minute hair, makeup and styling changes, mobs of fans and a whole lot of rumors about the voting, the winner was finally announced.

At the end of the day, I just wanted to kick off my heels and take a clue from Survivor host Richard and get a massage:


Sounds like a good plan, don't you think?
