This is it!
Ok, sorry medyo nahaggard ako sa pag set up.So pasensya na sa photos kung guray guray itsura ko. Yearly, Shahani love panics and calls me. So far on the roll naman kami for the Long Gown competition. But last year, I was missing in action because I was actually doing relief. So knowing my becky friends, never naman nila akong iniwan sa ere. They made the Long Gown competition a fund raising event for the Habagat survivors last year. We mount this party ng sariling sikap. But it grew, trended and pinaghahandaan ng mga becks. So perfect na dapat may cause na. Aside from naubos ng mga becks ang wig sa Lynelle’s, may natulungan pa. So tuloy tuloy natin toh!
To those who came early, malamang nakita nyo ako (as Jennie Epperson would say) “nagkukumpuni” ng technicals sa sahig, Shahani manning the door, Tina Daniac briefing the waiters, Charlie manning the production. In short, kami kami lang talaga. Joint effort and pagmamahal toh ng lahat. My sis Danes fixed the event venue at SKYE lounge, BJ Pascual shot the photos, Lynelle’s donated wigs, Licor 43 gave shots, Jujiin and Pao did our short video, an anonymous donor (syempre alam namin sino.. haha!) gave a Prada handbag as grand prize. And madami pang iba!
Pero before ko kayo unahan, for those who don’t know the LONG GOWN COMPETITION is an annual event na talagang bday bash lang ni Shahani. But it grew and ayan, all our friends can dress in drag. So syempre may queen and placers na ganap.
This is our 5th year na. And pabongga ng pabongga! There was a year na ang elimination round maiba taya, bato bato pick, at yung winner ay binuhusan ni Ms. Cherie Gil ng tubig! D ba legendary?
Here are some links para maorient kayo

From then on, we decided we will make this bigger and better for a cause. At least yung 3 loves ko nag sama. Becky, charity and kabonggahan! 🙂

Shahani raised the idea of bringing back SHOLA LUNA. Wait, The Shola Luna!















Peabo was our cohost! Actually, I didn’t host much. RIng Girl, DTI representative chenes, technician, bouncer, taga paypay, floor director, waitress… yan po ang role ko kagabi. All in one! Parang savor!

So top 20 is simple. Pila balde silang lahat then judges will pick.
Those called, one step forward. Ganun kadali! haha! Ayaw namin may score.. HAHABA! haha!
3 groups ang pinagpilian ng top 20.
Ayan kita nyo na ang role ko. taga abot ng shots. After the top 20, each of them was given a number and opening statements na!
D nako naggown. Haha! Lalaban pa ba? Pantulog nalang ang peg.
White chicks talaga si Matt! hahaha!
More opening statements. At mukhang pinaghandaan!
Can you see the paper bag with number? Ayan yung ganap kasi waley sash. ahha!
Ok, next elimination since fund raising sila. In 60 or 90 seconds ata umabot. Manglilimos ang mga bakla. Sa paperbag lalagay ang donations. Top 10 highest pasok sa round. Sabi ko sa inyo, madali lang kami sa elimination. TAKBO IN HEELS!
Top sa padamihan ng donation si Ms. Ali!
Ok, since kami lang nga nagset up. D ayta namin na foresee na parang kinukuha na sila ni Lord sa lighting. hahaha!
In fair, pinaghandaan ang mga gown!
Ayan si Ali. May dalawang paandar na bouncers!
From the 10, simple din ang next elimination…. MUSICAL CHAIRS! ahahhaa!
Syempre, Question and answer na from the judges. Nakapaa na ang ibang contestant dahil pinatakbo at kinareer ang musical chairs! Top 3 was picked by their answers by the judges. Then yung Queen, 2nd and 1st. Luck nalang talaga yun. Parang bunutan! ahhaaha!
FINALLY! WE HAVE OUR QUEEN! MIGUELITA!
