MANILA, Philippines?Wow, only a few years ago I watched Puey dressing Barbie dolls and now he is spicing up the wardrobe of the stratosphere of Pinoy society. Star models and socialites like Ornusa Cadness and Phoemela Barranda modeled Puey?s fashion statements in a fabulously (pronounce: faaabulooously) minimalistic set designed by Melvin Mojica who is so hot these days that I am surprised that his designs don?t catch on fire.

Watching Boy Abunda, KC Concepcion, Ting-Ting Cojuangco, Divine Lee, Ruffa Guiterrez and Lulu Tan Gan proudly showing off their Puey gowns you would have never guessed Puey?s humble background. As the MC pointed out, humble indeed it was when Puey worked on those Barbie dolls a few years back in Bobon, a small town in Northern Samar. But Puey had his influences. On the one side there is Dennis Lustico a close family friend from the same small town who gave Puey his first pointers and on the other hand yours truly, Puey?s uncle, from whom he inherited the light blue hair.
