Andrej Pejik: the epitome of androgyny

 

 

 
I am fascinated by androgynous people. Thus, my admiration for Katherine Moennig. 

Andrej Pejik, made banner headline this morning in fashion blogs as he fronts the campaign for Hema push-up bras. 

Yep. It's a HE. 

This male model, born in Bosnia and Herzegovina from a Serbian mother and a Croatian mother has the softest face and the most androgynous body form that he can model both male and female underwear.

But WOOOOOOOW! Talk about ultimate androgyny. This is it! 

I cannot believe his photos. Andrej is even prettier than the other female models and made it to the list of top 20 models worldwide. 


The push-up bra campaign is earning positive feedback so far... but there has always been a backlash to androgyny. 


Let's see how the campaign does in the coming days. 
 

Of choosing quality people in your life

"Stop spending time with the wrong people.

Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot.

Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends."

 Very true.

Missing one of Manila's finest

I know I need my dose of Manila when I start to miss one of it's finest : GREAT FOOD. 


I've been around Southeast Asia a lot, but I can really claim that Manila is the ultimate enclave for the foodies by heart. 


I'm not talking about Filipino food alone. It's not a very Filo thing to admit this, but I do know that compared to our other Southeast Asian counterparts, Filo food will pale in comparison to the melange of flavors of Thailand and Malaysia. Although our adobo and kare-kare will definitely give some of their dishes a run for their money.


Now that I'm in Indonesia though and I've been to neighboring Singapore and Malaysia several times, I do know that Manila is the melting pot of all kinds of restaurants - both boasting of local and international cuisines. 


I'm missing out on the Mercato and night food markets. I have not been to the new fusion restaurants dotting High Street and the nooks and crannies of residential Makati. 


I. cannot. wait! 


The first thing I do when I land in Manila is to ask for lechon kawali with the classic Mang Tomas sauce.  


7 more days to go.
