BCBG Party in Fashion “Bon Chic Bon Genre”

Wednesday is the Big day! Cecilia Pitre's arrival in Manila. Let us be prepared to party in style. Cecilia has a great fashion sense, she indeed captured the heart of Asia party people. It is of my great pleasure to present to you what I have discovered through out our email conversation what made Cecilia the hottest Party organizer in Asia. 

You wanna talk Fashion ?

Cecilia who is the CEO of BCBG Party Style by Cecilia …. But it all in this title … it can be for Party but it can be for Fashion ….

BCBG : “Bon Chic Bon Genre” french words for always be Chic and have Good attitude.

I was really thinking of what BCBG means from the time that I get to know Ceci. But it is really nice that she mentioned it already to me.

Also for her Fashion is about “Style” whats the mood of the day , the place you are and people your with …. If u adjust all those together then people will always say that you have style and that your are right in the Fashion :) Fashion for her (French lady living in Thailand for 11 years) is very different from 1 country to an other one …. 

Party in Style in India was introduced by Cecilia as well. She fell in love with the country the first time she set her foot in India and I am hoping that she will feel the same way when she arrive this Wednesday in Manila.

She LOVES India and the amazing Colorfull Saree she get one photoshoot for hand made Pakistanis Dress … Everything can be amazing and everything is .. If u look at it with the right eyes.

In Thailand the “Haute Couture” style will be more about the wedding dress … as u can see photos arched , it s open to any ideas and colors …. Also the very important in Fashion …. ACCESSORIES ….

don’t forget to be in “you need everything matching !"

Photography gives me a chance to see the beauty in things that I usually wouldn't give much attention to, I hope this beauty can make others feel optimistic about what they have all around them always. In Phuket the lush colors filled with saturation always make for beautiful, bright and uplifting photo's that remind me of how beautiful this planet is when you focus on the positive. … Sean Oliver Moonwalker

I had recently watched Cinderella and remarked on it's beauty. I really wanted to have a set piece that showed a more elegant style of dress, something we don't see much in Phuket because of the heat. When I saw Cecilia had this dress and such a wonderful venue to shoot it, I naturally jumped at the opportunity. Cecilia personally has always had a keen eye for style and is a perfectionist by nature, I always love people that make me raise my own standards, it was fun to be challenged and to collaborate with her on this project.

Cecilia has her own designer in Phuket Thailand as well .

Sun Arthit Taninpong is the designer of Cecilia whenever she is in Phuket.

According to Sun Arthit. Since his childhood he was in love with all kind of art but because he had to begun to work at 15 years old, I could not study it at school.

"I worked first as a car washer but quickly I find a way to reconnect my passion for beauty by working as a performer in a cabaret show."

"That's where I really begun to learn about art, make up, fashion and entertainment. From that time I keep watching everything about fashion on all media to understand what makes it special to develop my own creations.

For me fashion is "haute couture" which mixed many artisanal knowledges to become Art.A few years ago I met Christian Surscene who made my dream come true by giving me the opportunity of being his designer and business partner, in our costume shop we opened in July 2014 : Phuket Dressing Room (https://www.facebook.com/phuketdressingroom).There we create something different from other places : you can rent or buy all kinds of costumes I design from cocktail dresses or wedding costumes to cabaret and fancy style."

Creations of Lorieme for Cecilia Pitre

Cecilia never failed to miss talents all over Asia and that is the same reason why she identified Filipino talent our very own Emerilyn Suya. Look at the frienship that they built togther. It makes me feel overwhelmed that a socialite like Cecilia gets to know talents of my kababayan Emerilyn Suya who is also making some noise for creating clothes for most of the socialites in Asia like Korea, Thailand among others.

Lorieme By:Emerilyn Suya. Will be opening her shop soon in Alabang and we are actually planning to organize a pool part for her swimwear collection. Watch out for it guys. I will keep you posted definitely.

Lorieme Shop in Alabang soon

I had the chance to talk to Emerilyn as well after Cecilia introduced me to her. And I found out that she has a good heart. She asked me to plan and organize an event that will helped single parents. Not just single women but she wants to make social awareness that single parenthood shold not lead to poverty. A fashio show for a cause is what Emerilyn wants to organize. And I am very much excited to lead and organize that event.

Emerilyn added that fashion for her is self expression it's art, often people; include fashion to describe there feeling or mood, colors are very important, I prefer bright colors, I guess I consider my self a happy person, and it helps to look good. as for fashion in Thailand, I love the weather as it is always warm, so I enjoy wearing free flowing bright dresses. https://www.facebook.com/Emerilynsuyafashioncollections?pnref=lhc—  Our philippines support for the next event in Manila – Party on the26th of September with the famous DJ Sabrina Terence at Royal Club Makati.



I can't wait for their arrival in Manila. I know that it will be a busy week for Cecilia but I hope that on Saturday we will be able to discuss future plans for parties and events.

CARNAGE IN THE HOUSE

Ready to rock the stage of Valkyrie this wednesday night is DJ/Produer Carnage. 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT VALKYRIE!!!

HipHop, Trap, Progressive House DJ/Producer CARNAGE in Manila brought to you by the finest club in the Philippines Valkyrie at the Palace.

September 16, 2015 it is!!! For inquiries and Reservations: 09351759272.

Real Name: Diamante Blackmon

City Born: Los Angeles

Country Born: United States

About Carnage

I had a hard time researching on Dj/Producer Carnage. Looking back at the archive of my blog you'll see that I wrote about him in one of my articles about the September event of the Palace Manila together with Pacha Ibiza and DJ Alesso. But I haven't digged in so much about him on that article. However, here it is , what you need to know about this DJ/Producer that is about to rock the world of Valkyrie this wednesday September 16, 2015. 

Born as Diamante Blackmon back in 1991, DJ Carnage is actually making a name for himself in the dance music world. After scaling the dance music ladder apparently instantaneously, the renaissance man musician has great reason to be thrilled. With creation credit on RiFF Raff’s lead single, the arrival of an approaching SiriusXM radio show, an enormous EDC Vegas performance and (to top it all away) Chipotle offering the DJ free burritos (“burrito bowls when I am feeling fat”) for life are just a few of the motives why Carn – as his boss calls him – is prepared to fend off his “#Chipotlegang” followers and rock to Laidback Luke as though he were a lover, and not your own friend of his.

The audacious producer burst after his remix of Hardwell’s “Spaceman” a just ten months past and adamant on making music history. His coming hardstyle-esque single with Tony Junior, “Michael Jordan,” is a graphic painting of Carnage’s fearless tenacity: “It is simply a mythical record, everything I make is celebrated. I’m like a robot,” he says matter-of-factly on why he called the track after basketball’s best. The guy is feeling like he’s #23 and he desires everything. The tour is named ‘6 Rings’ because “[Jordan] won six rings. This tour is all about winning the title. Every show is a game and I’m going undefeated.” Let’s trust Carn never gets traded to the Wizards.

The hip-hop beat-smith, festival trapaholic and large room house hybrid vehicle reflects on if he had never lifted the decks: “I had been a tornado chaser,” he says with no millisecond of reluctance. It’s a great interview reply. Creative and most likely in jest yet it makes sense because in certain manners Carnage is a tornado chaser; consistently looking for another matter that’ll tear up sh*t. Upward. Acknowledging his ill-famed festival snare is coming to an end via a twitter rant, house and trance are Carn’s following thunderstorm with “huge music, large sh*t and substantial material.” This man is a schemer.

Yet there appears to be no process supporting the madness of Carnage’s diversity and multi-genre abilities: “I really enjoy a life of whatever I feel like doing. It’s impulsive. If I need to make a rap record I make it, if I desire to create a home record I make it. If I desire to make some pretty sh*t I make some pretty sh*t, you know?” Carn is as free and untamed as the twisters he pursues, against the actual carpe diem approach and true interest for investigating the musical spectrum, never fearful to remind you that he’s the league MVP.

September Babies

People's personality and traits can be predicted by the month they were born. Let's get to know more about September babies . Are you one of

Photo from Sunsigns.org

them? Do you know prominent people in the Philippines that were born in September?  

Let us first to know the characteristics of those who are born in September. According to a famous psychoastrologist Dr. Turi :

The month of September is governed by the planet Mercury and by the critical sign of Virgo. You are an intellectual, very critical and picky and you tend to work too hard. You are a master of communication and the option to become a speaker or a great writer is offered to you. You may also misuse this power and become sarcastic to others. You will always combine logic and intuition in dealing with life in general.
Astrologically, you have been classified as the "perfectionists". You can do well in the fields of medicine, law, teaching, writing, designing, and office work, and you are in some areas a refined artist. Your downfall is sarcasm and an overly concerned attitude with trivial matters. Some young Mercurial souls are overwhelmed with health matters and turn themselves into health lunatics. Others simply refuse to work and succumb to chemical drug and alcohol abuse. Letting the rational mind scrutinize everything can hinder your spiritual gifts and neutralize your cosmic consciousness.
You have inherited a powerful investigative mind that could lead you to science, chemicals, research, radio, television, newspaper reporting, computer programming and the law. Advanced souls are great mental leaders and masters in communication. Robert Shapiro and Marcia Clark (O.J. Simpson trial attorneys) are Virgos and indicative of your intellectual potential pertaining to investigation and the law. You may be prone to headaches or head injury, eye and sinus problems. Be aware of your environment in public places. You are prone to poisoning and are strongly advised to keep away from alcohol and narcotics. Also, be aware, diets that are too restrictive may cause just as many problems as over-indulgence.
Your body and metabolism are both well equipped to deal with all types of food, including red meat. If your natural desire for perfection prevails and you eliminate this "red" source of food, you must then substitute it with different red foods such as red wine, hot peppers or other thermogenic foods. If you happen to suffer headaches or migraines, you may find relief by walking barefoot on the grass (or close to a body of water) to regenerate from the earth's magnetic field.
As a rule all souls born in September are accident prone to head trauma and violent death. Therefore, if you were born in September, do not take chances, especially during or after the Full Moon. Keep in mind to respect the Universal Law, as your awareness of the Mercury/Moon planning will become a major contribution for happiness. The location of your natal Dragon's Head or Tail will seriously alter the strengths or weakness of Mercury in your chart.

Voted 2nd in the Female Dj List Poll Worldwide. Listed in DJ Mag Top 50 in the Middle East (voted No. 15 in the polls) and Cecilia Pitre TV presenter in Chunburi Thailand for the 1st English speaking channel at that time.

I’m based in Thailand for many years (11) and all trough the way many different experiences and challenging work (Pattaya Bangkok and now Phuket), setle in Phuket after a great time in Pattaya where im running the amazing Le Versacewith my fiance .

I created and run the most popular Beach Party in Thailand for 2 years in Pattaya at the BEACH CLUB from Pullman Pattaya Hotel G were monthly and with a Theme… the greatest event and also the one that everybody kept in their agenda. 

Thanks to this and other work done as the Food & Beverage Business developer for this property I won the “Best Bar of the year Award 2011″ for ACCOR PACIFIC properties… Very proud of it…

For the all story pls follow my page on FB : BCBG Party Style by Cecilia and created the PP&FL (Phuket Professional & Fun Ladies Club) 1233 members in Phuket now 

Let us learn more about BCBG and Cecilia Pitre' her endeavors and adventures as a Party Organizer, how she became famous all over Asia.

French expat women Cécilia Pitré has let her free spirit guide her on a life path that wouldn't have been possible without her sense of wanderlust. An event planner and socialite in Phuket, Cécilia handles marketing and event planning for Le Versace – a hotel, French restaurant, and lounge bar with bold, fashion forward design reminiscent of Versace's over the top style. Love of travel and openness to change has taken her from France to Thailand, and it doesn't look like she's going back.

Cécilia was lucky enough to travel with her parents when she young, first sparking her interest in seeing the world. At age twenty-two, she left home to live in Manchester. During her time in England, she met a French man and together they decided to move to Thailand. It was a place he desired to go to in the first place, but it wound up to be Cécilia who loved the country more than he did. They planned their move in January 2005, but when the tsunami of December 2004 hit, they postponed and waited a bit before embarking on their adventure, changing their itineraries to focus on northern Thailand, instead of disaster struck southern Thailand.

HOW DID BCBG CECILIA GOT INTO THIS POSH ONE OF A KIND CAREER AS A PARTY ORGANIZER

Once in Thailand and after traveling around the country, plans changed. Cécilia's French partner didn't like being in Thailand as much as he'd thought. He returned home and she stayed on, taking life as it came. Due to her charismatic and outgoing personality, Cécilia quickly landed her first job in Thailand as a TV presenter for the 1st English program in Pattaya – this turning point would launch her into a media and social career that has continued to this day. Later, she worked for Accor – the group that owns big hotels such as Novotel and Sofitel – and her positions included PR management and food and business development for Pullman brand.

More about BCBG Party and Cecilia Pitre'

A self-described party animal, Cécilia took her career into her own hands when in March 2013 she went into event planning as a consultant. She had been doing event planning for friends and decided to turn her passion into a source of income.

 Some of her biggest gigs at the start of her entrepreneurial career involved event planning in India, where she organized a white party for Fashion TV and an event for the badmington league of India plus different other Party ... she loves India and planning few more surprises before the end of 2015. Her Thailand base at this time was in Pattaya, which she identifies as being the best spot in Thailand for nightlife, even more so than Bangkok. Pattaya has a dark reputation, but she asserts that she feels safe there and says Pattaya can be a lot of fun for women, too – it is not only a man's playground.

Her next move would take her life in another direction but without leaving Thailand. Cécilia was hired in to help breathe life back into the rooftop bar of Phuket's Le Versace. The owner of Le Versace, Georges Dufresne, and Cécilia found themselves attracted to one another once they'd met. After a successful launch party, Cécilia moved from Pattaya to be with George – and to keep Le Versace full of energy. One thing is for sure: Cécilia has found contentment and love by going with the flow and letting her life be washed over with wanderlust.

Getting upclose and personal with DJ Sabrina Terence

It gives us great pleasure to introduce, Sabrina Terence the unique DJ based in Dubai (UAE)!

Sabrina is the Middle East favorite Female DJ (Award 2014 WTD) & TV host (Vox Goodbye Deutschland 2013, Motorheadz, Spectrum TV). Voted 2nd in the Female Dj List Poll Worldwide. Listed in DJ Mag Top 50 in the Middle East (voted No. 15 in the polls)

She has been played for major artists around the globe including NEYO, 50Cent, Nelly, Taio Cruz, Jay Sean, Paris Hilton, Akon, Akcent and Nicholas Cage, John Travolta Events to name a few.

What can she offer the crowd of Royal Club Manila this September 26, 2015 ? Let's hear it from Sabrina....

Her music-style Sabrina quotes: "Of course, my sound is a fusion of Commercial House & Progressive House. Also other styles like Urban, Funky, Oriental , Tech-Trance and Uplifting influence my sets too." But after all, Sabrina says, it all comes back to this: "I just love electronic dance-music which moves and cheers the people up all around the world.

The main thing is to have an interaction with the people and to give them a good time."

Sabrina continues to DJ to massive crowds worldwide, including the popular spots in Spain, Hong Kong, Germany, Dubai, Qatar, Asia, Brazil, Costa Rica and more.

Your finest Engineer/Club DJ in town

Clubbing industry is at it's hype nowadays. If you will roam around Makati, BGC or even Timog area you will notice that there's one in every corner. Which is pretty cool for all the ravers out there. They get the chance to choose among the clubs that has a crowd that best fit them. 

And talking about what best fits your clubbing preference. That same goes in someone's career. I came across a DJ that was able to impose this idea that we can have two career and at the same time enjoy both. Needless to say more, I just wanted to share to all of you a short conversation I had with a great DJ in town Dennis Garra a.k.a. Soulful Jigs.

Just a brief introduction about Dennis Garra. 

He is a resident DJ of Royal Club Makati. Also, he's an Audio Engineer by profession but that does not limited him to be on deck as well on one of the most elite club in Makati. 

Music or sound in general, I must say is really close to his heart being an audio engineer and at the same time Disc Jockey. Combining , mixing different sounds must be his first love. He gave me the opportunity to have an email and chat conversation with him and I am greatly honored to impart what I've learned about him.

Here's the email conversation I had with DJ Soulful Jigs:

Do you have any other job aside from being a dj?

DJ Soulful Jigs : "Yes. I'm an Audio Consultant by day for a real estate company. Sometimes, I am a broker (both private and government agencies). I am also doing part-time consulting and personalized mentorship to aspiring DJs."

How did you get into disc jockeying?

DJ Soulful Jigs :  "You got to have love and passion with music. Since High School, I was a member of a "Mobile Disco Group". We catered high school dances, soirees, private dance parties, etc. That's the time when I started to be a DJ. I learned it by myself using dual cassette tapes. (Imagine that! J) Then,  turn tables came in so I learned that, too."

- With this being said we can say that Dennis started early in the party scene, thou most of us really sneak in our highschool days just to party, but he was able to discover early in his life that this will soon be a career for his. Two thumbs up on this DJ Jigs. Moving right along, let us get to know more about him and his insights about being a DJ.

Isn't it expensive to start a career as a dj? How do you manage to be updated when it comes to equipments?

DJ Soulful Jigs : "Yes, precisely. It’s the same as any other business. You need to get everything you need to keep it running even if it costs you money. For its development, of course. From headphones to laptops and softwares, these things will evolve from time to time  and you would need to go with the flow once it comes."

- Good investment I should say because once you heard his performance (you'll find embedded below from Mixcloud ), you can really identify that DJ jigs invested on his equipment but of course the end result of his mixes is still because of his creative mind.


How would you describe your style?

DJ Soulful Jigs :  "I have no specific stye as I'm very flexible. "Crowd Reading" is my weapon while on deck. But, I mainly  love to play 90’s soulful funky house classic and mash it up with progressive electro tunes randomly during my live sets.

- The "Crowd Reading" part is what I liked about his answer. I definitely agree on this one because it the crowd that is most important . They must enjoy and at the same time relate to the music that the DJ is playing on deck. In addition to this, it is good to know that DJ Jigs not just play music that he wants or whatever is on trend. He knows how to read the clubbers/ravers mind. And this is what's more important. Right? Make your crowd dance.

You may listen to his opening set thru Mix Cloud. Here is the link

Royal Night Club - Opening set by : Soulful Jigs

DJ Jigs focuses on details of his mixes. He makes sure that everything blendsperfectly.

Who are you musical influences? 

 DJ Soulful Jigs :"Tiesto and Hardwell"

-Good choice DJ Jigs, I heard that the two are famous with their dance festival performance in UK.

What can you say about lady DJs that dominates the deck nowadays? Is there any competition? Or you believe that the more the merrier?

It doesn't matter. DJs have their own identities, style, followers and market. This means that male DJs will often gravitate towards helping younger men, with whom they connect more naturally. In addition, women are more likely to seek a mentorship from someone of the opposite sex. This means there are fewer women who are being mentored through their DJ-ing careers by leading male DJs. As someone who was mentored by mostly female DJs (Ahem J ), I felt this was the best way for me to learn and avoid any problems and political issues in the industry.

-Good Job DJ Jigs, I agree on this and also it is so overwhelming that you are open to the idea that you mentor new breed of DJs. Mentoring them is a sign that you really have the passion in the kind of field.

                                         

Here is an awesome performance of DJ Soulfuljigs on deck . Very entertaining he gave the crowd a party 'til they drop experience . Putting their hands up in the air like nobody cares. Which is what ravers are looking for. 

This is the main reason why the elite crowd at Royal where he's a resident DJ could not help but drink, party and rave some more. 

And for the closing part of this short yet engaging interview with DJ Soulful Jigs.

Message for the aspiring dj out there?

"Being a DJ is never JUST a hobby. It’s passion. Passion is the love you have for something and craftsmanship is the pursuit of mastering that passion. The craftsman treats this process not as a destination, but something you do for the rest of your life."

There you go, this is the reason why the elite crowd of Royal are being blown away by DJ Jig's performance, it is because of his knowledge of music, ability to keep people on the dance floor. I am sure that regular guests at Royal Club swore that we would do whatever we could to party with him over and over.

 

Come and visit his fanpage at : DJ Soulful Jigs for updates about his gigs.

You may catch DJ Soulful Jigs at Royal Club located at 5343 St., General Luna, Makati, 1210 Metro Manila

every Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays.
