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.

Black clothing in that humid heat and even more, longs sleeve black clothing! Manx must have heat rash by now! They all look gorgeous tho!

Joann, dolls are lucky for they do not sweat. I was the black Alice to Ceras’ Madhatter, and I was just *this* close to tearing my clothes off =______= If Manx were human, I bet she would have done a porn show right there. But damn, I do love that dress of hers!

*claps* Very very well done. You all look absolutely dashing, and my congratulations to Manx especially, for letting everyone know that she looks sexy with or without clothing ^_~
Ceras and Uno- you two make most handsome gentlemen, and Veritas looks stunning- both elegant and edgy
Shuri- no words needed to describe the incredible cuteness you are

Thank you! I’m glad you guys did not seem to notice that I had only two hours of sleep before the prom and was slipping in and out of consciousness during the two-hour trip. Yapi knows this, of course. This is also the reason why Uno is in jeans. (=__=)

. . . . But I like Uno in the jeans. It seems to suit him perfectly.
And the girls look absolutely fabulous. (Sorry for not mentioning this sooner). I’d love to see more details of Manx’s dress and Veritas’ dress.

Joey, you were dozing off in the car, but then, so was everyone else (except Rey, of course)! Good thing everyone was alive and kicking at lunch, thanks to Bernadette’s battery story!

Aislan: Thank YOU! Joey and I both think we have the creative license to wear jeans to formal events.
What particular details would you like to see so I can give Joey directions? (^^)
