*The Centre is what I call my work place. Loosely based on ANTM
The Centre is a competitive non-television segment in my blog created by yours truly. Every week (I hope) will feature a new challege for the models (my co-workers) and the results will be featured in my blog. The winner for the week will receive a prize from yours trully of varying degrees of cheap-ness.
This segment promotes company unity and friendly competition among my co-workers. And of course, it also propagates my personal favorite mantra... beauty is in the workplace. We interact closely with our clients, therefore, it is important that we remain fabulous.
Here are the models...
(l - r) Kaye, Myrrh, Reyna
Loraine, Boni, Robert (Cloyd and Nery not in picture)
The Challenge - Look Happy
Since this is the first challenge, we retained the models' natural beauty maximizing on their natural talent. The task is to "Look Happy". Ok, there's being naturally happy and extraordinarily happy. But the task today was to look happy (not crazy) on digi photos. There's a catch. It must look a tiny bit candid. No looking at cameras for this one. And for some of the models this is indeed a challenge. What's a photo if you're not looking at a camera!
Wait and see...
Kaye's Photos
Long neck + high cheeckbones = glamour
Kaye has a natural goddess quality to her and really fine white skin that whitening product commercials only dream of. The downside is her dentals. For a lot of the models, smilling is what brings out the laughter in the eyes (rightly so, even for me). The challenge for her is to look happy without showing canines.
Gloss it up!
Primping, of course, is the other of her natural gifts.
This is Kaye's best shot...
Goddess Quality
Cloyd's Photos
Pose for me!
Cloyd lurvs photos. He has a jovial nature that shines through all of his photos. This challenge is a piece of cake for him. This boy has the versitility of a seasoned model. His photos are just precious. Since his smile brings out his eyes, we are looking for that x-factor quality that would just make the audience coo at him... even with that face (joke lang hehe).
Tease me (so adorable!)
Cloyd's pic really takes the cake for this challenge. This is the teasing side of him that is rarely seen in a strict corporate environment. I am seriously blown away. Top Model talaga!
Loraine's Photos
Loraine is also shining of all happiness in the world. She has a ditzy glow about her that just infects everyone with happiness. This challenge should also be a peice of cake for her... This is her initial test shot...
Smiles all around
There was an unforseen problem with Loraine, however. She wouldn't stop looking at the freakin camera! We, and by that I mean ALL of us, wanted to just nail her eyes steady lest it starts following the camera again! After a while, and I mean a while, and a help from Cloyd ("Tingin ka sa 'ken. Sa akin lang!"), we finally got a shot we wanted.
Pretty and Perky - Just the way we like it!
Myrrh's Photos
Sweet-safe-cutesy Myrrh
Myrrh is a wholesome person. She is also happiness-all-around type but not as much as the previous two . But this isn't a challenge for nothing. We wanted to see another side of Myrrh, apart from the sweet -safe-cutesy side of her. We love her yes. But she can be more sexy.
This is a much harder task to pull... had I told her that it's what we wanted hehe. She had no idea what we wanted from her apart from deviate from certain cutesy poses. That way, she wasn't intimidated at all. She was cooperative and everything went smoothly. We were very satisfied with her best shot...
Move over Alec Bovic/k
Neri's Photos
Nery's kinda cranky.
She is the most photogenic of all my co-workers, says the HR/IT head's second. He has uhm fairly decent taste so I didn't bother to check it out for authenticity. But it seems he has a point. We didn't have much time for her as she needed to work (unlike me? hehe). She also came a lil late so the entire concept of it wasn't explained to her as well as the others.
Kagagahasa-lang look.
It didn't bode well that she's didn't wanna participate on account that she hadn't gone to her stylist yet. But it worked to her advantage in a sort of kagagahasa-lang look. heehee.
Angelic (virginal? joke lang)
The Boys' Photos
The boys prefered to have their photos taken in the spot that makes them happy. I must admit that I agree completely as this place also gives me happiness...
Boni's happy day (without the plant)
This is Robert. He is happy. Walang kokontra!
Robert's happy place. Reminds us of the rehab days, don't it?
Visitation Day - Sharing a lil happy!
Boni's special spot, away from second hand smoke. I'll kill myself, thanks.
Sadly, Reyna was busy so she wasn't able to participate. The photos shall be deliberated upon for a few days/hours. The winner shall be announced on Friday. Stay tuned...
