Where does art photography belong to?
              - In a gallery, right.
Where does beautiful art photography belong?
              - In a beauty salon of course.

WHAT : European beauty product line, Davines was so kind to sponsor my latest photo-art exhibition at Basement Salon, Powerplant Mall. A set of 40 large photo prints transformed Basement Salon from being one of the top society salons into a hip art gallery. Peligro co-owner, Abba whipped up a wide selection of wild and weird cocktails and snacks for us.

WH0 : a wide selection of every part of society, from showbiz over fashion to real business.
Audra Lucero and Armand Sy Valencia of Davines and Miss funky dress, Katrina Lagman discussed possible new primary colors for Katrina's Mohawk while Phoemela Barranda and Tim Yap showed interest in Puey Quinones' latest fashion extravaganzas. Fellow photographers Tom Epperson and Eddie Boy Escudero talked about how they could teach me to take good pictures for a change. Basement owners Fritz Webb and Manfred enjoyed chatting with celebrities. Wait a minute, Don't they do that all day long?

WHAT ELSE : Mmmmhh, there is nothing like a good scalp massage the next day at Basement Salon to flush that hangover out of your system.

Excuse me now, I think my blue hair starts to fade and it might need a new sheen.
