MS. CLAVEL LAUNCH

| Posted in | Posted on Monday, December 08, 2008

Ms. Clavel's launch @ Embassy Cuisine was a huge success. It was definitely the sneaker event of the year. Who would've thought 5 years ago that we'd see a magazine like this in the Philippines? What started as an idea and presented to me less than 6 months ago became a reality after Endo put together a superb team of talented individuals (clears throat) to work on the magazine. I have a feeling more and more companies will support the magazine in the near future. Nike Philippines, you there?

I arrived early after I was invited to have dinner with the Ms. Clavel family. The first guests arrived a little before 9pm. Around 9:30pm, the place was almost packed and people couldn't wait for the program to start. When the DVD played on the projector screen, the dudes went wild while most of the females looked embarrassed. There was nothing explicit in the vid. I guess the women felt funny with all the men howling at half naked chicks. Ha ha. Things got more interesting when four Ms. Clavel models showcased a number of rare sneakers on silver platters. For 2 hours, drinks overflowed. Talk about OPEN BAR. I only had a double whisky on the rocks. I totally lost track of the time as I moved from one group to another, chatting with old and new faces.

I present to you the photos and some vids.

Enjoy!

Shout-outs to the Ms. Clavel family especially my main Endo and his lovely wife. Congratulations on a job well done! Borgy and his crew, awesome job my dudes. What a night to remember. Cuisine is definitely what's up. Much love to those who supported the event. Chooee all the way from KL, Malaysia. Check out his site HERE. Also to Big Boi and FRESH Manila. NT'ers Carlo and his wife Ruth (nice feature man), Mark and Kheiy (peep the inside back cover of the mag for their WeLegendary ad), Arvin, Glenn, Alvin (your story made it!), Vdeezy (good to see you again man), Sinichi of Sole, Dandy and his crew (what a lively group, must be the alcohol ha ha), Jay, Flashout, Miko and his brother. What up to Mykhan and his brother, Kim C, Shikko, Jammi and his moody friend, Jano, MK, Mong and Chicosci. Forgive me if I missed anyone. Shout-outs also to all the 100 or so non-NT guests who RSVPed but never bothered to say hello (a few did). I hope you all had fun!

'Til our next gathering.

Peace out!

* NOTES: The magazine will be available at Filbar's next week followed by your favorite magazine outlets. Grab a copy before the mag sells out! If you want to be featured, email kingcrux@gmail.com with your stories and photos.

WOW AWESOME LAUNCH PARTY. I WISH I WAS THERE!
