Black with a Vengeance: The Prom Fashion Review

It was not the right season and place for black, but we all came to the ManikaManila Promenade looking dark and gothic. This was not planned. Nowhere in the invitation was it also mentioned that someone has died.

Manx Minuet wore an ensemble that was an antithesis to her pornstar persona. She showed a lot of black, and surprisingly, very little skin. Her gothic gown, of three different fabrics, was a rush custom job by Joey’s Aunt Lina. She also wears an elaborate neckpiece borrowed from Lugosi, which he received as a gift from Adam.

Ceras came looking like a kodona, complete with the de rigueur top hat and striped socks. This made us wonder if the Mad Tea Hatter, of Alice in Wonderland fame, ever realized that he had inadvertently influenced a fashion subculture in Japan. Ceras’ outfit and accessories are entirely handmade by Yapi and her grandmother.

A happy family. Manx and Ceras with the little Shuri.
