Today marks the birthday of one of my most favorite fashion people on this planet, so let me take the time to muse about him for the time being. Happy birthday, Yves Camingue!  

I don't know how far along you've followed this blog, but everyone knows Yves (Project Runway Philippines, Yvestyle, Yves Style Studio) and I go waaaay back. And by waaaaay back I mean even before fashion was born and bred in our heads and even before we had any money to spend for our fashion frivolities (to be able to buy a new eyeliner pencil was a huge achievement back then lol). Yves and I were trudging along in college as two broke-ass, fashion-obsessed students in the UP Cebu, back in the days when I wore thrifted neckties as a hip belt (PLEASE DON'T JUDGE LOL), and Yves had a penchant for wearing cargo pants and some guyliner. Yes, some really bad fashion decisions were had back in the day-- that's how long it has been!

Cebu (and I'd daresay a lot of people in the rest of the country and abroad) is definitely gearing up for May 26 as Lifedance 2012 breaks ground as the country's biggest outdoor dance party to date. No exaggeration for such an ambitious feat-- Paradiso Concepts and Legwork Productions promises to deliver an outdoor rave party experience at par to the likes of Belgium's Tomorrowland and Singapore's Zoukout, among others. Revving up for a much larger audience scale and location way above the usual, the hardworking men and women behind Lifedance 2012 aims to put Cebu and the Philippines on the map side by side with its worldwide counterparts in due time. It IS more fun in the Philippines, after all. Why spend way too much on going abroad when you have a world-class experience to call your own? 

The Lifedance team formally kicked off long preparation with a special Media and Ambassador's Night at the Penthouse a couple of weeks back. Truly honored to have been chosen as a part of their roster of Event Ambassadors, because I have nothing but confidence and trust with the producers behind this incredibly huge endeavour. Sorry for the lack of event photos- our camera died along the way:(

I'll be unveiling a lot more of the nitty gritty of Lifedance as we approach the 26th-- if you're not in Cebu, try to book tickets when you can, because I can ascertain that the experience will be worth it. For now, read on more about Lifedance2012 by checking out their event page here.
