A TRAVEL BACK IN TIME WITH LAURA MERCIER

I took inspiration from the 1920s (my favorite style era) for my latest look (see HERE). Though I wanted to look like the guy straight-out-of-the-old-movies on a regular basis, I know I can't. That would be a big investment. But at least I get to be that guy on one of the recent event that I went to. Their theme? 1920s glam. That's one for the ladies. As for me, I had it easy.

Let me take you back in time with Laura Mercier.

What: Laura Mercier 1920s Glam Party
Where: Prive, Fort Strip

A short presentation of Laura Mercier's Holiday 2012 Colour Story: Art Deco Muse opened the program. They talked about makeup...

…and other girly stuff which I wasn't able to take note of because I was distracted by all these beautiful ladies.

To know more about Laura Mercier's latest collection, click on the links that I'll be providing of the fashion / beauty bloggers who went there. In the meantime,

let me delight you with these photographs I took of the 1920s themed event. Enjoy!

This guy, Jeffrey Tasker, brought life to the party. It was my first time to meet him and he's a delight to watch and listen to. Take this scenario for instance...

He has also been featured on programs such as Sex and the City, Today Show, Oprah Winfrey, Good Morning America, Miss America and Miss USA among others.

Wondering what he's up to with his stained lips?
Well he used it to plant a good one on the cheeks of these ladies who randomly won the coveted Laura Mercier beauty kits.

And here they are:

A friend asked me why do I keep on attending events such as this. First of, I was invited. I'm pretty much sure that the PR people and the person who invited me had a good head on them in considering that even though this was a female centered event, there's a place for a male blogger like me there. And if I missed out on this particular event, I wouldn't be able to capture the portraits of these beautiful specimens… Mind you, there's effort in creating these.
