Another fun experience that I have down for my books. My wonderful teacher/mentor RB Chanco gave me, along with two other classmates Nikka and Odessa the chance to accompany her and be part of one of the entries for Velvet's tribute to the Oscars photo exhibit / competition.
The layout that we joined RB for was for the movie Casablanca. For those who are unfamiliar, Velvet Tribute to the Oscar's is on its second year. Here local celebrities are chosen to portray the roles of Movies that have won and have been nominated for the Oscars. Although these are all portrayed only on Photographs. But given this, a team of very talented individuals comprise and come together to achieve a photo that not only represents the Oscar movie but also is their own interpretation. So I was and still am very privileged to have been part of this team to re-create Casablanca.
And it did not fail. Casablanca won BEST IN TRANSFORMATION for make up which goes to my wonderful wonderful teahcer RB Chanco and not only that this also won GOLD. Yes GOLD, topping all the other entries. I am super happy for that, super proud of the team and especially RB. :)

It was such a great experience as we got to hang around and watch everything from start to finish. Seeing the make up done by RB for both Maricar and Jericho was the highlight of the whole experience. I learned so much from RB and I am still elated that I was somewhat part of the winning photo of Casablanca. It was an awesome experience. Thanks RB. :)
Congrats to Casablanca for taking home the GOLD! :)
Toodles! :)
