Event at Hangout Changi - Sexy Samba Dance and Selection Pageant for MAIONE Ambassador

Hello Dudes and Dudettes! G'day!

I just attended an event which is supposed to be a pageant to select the model/girl who will become the ambassador for MAIONE, a youth essence skincare product brand from Malaysia by Yi Jia International.  


Arriving at the venue:







And other photographers arrived at the event (took their photos more cos I was bored at a certain point while waiting for things in between):

Melvin Tay, who enjoys going to events, who loves dogs, soccer, and cars. That's Melvin holding Xin Yi's dog, Niko (Picture of Xinyi later in post).

John Seah, owner of Vogue Photography.


First off, we had a sexy Samba dance to the Brazil World Cup music.


 Photos of the dancers.
  

Two of our dancers, Xin Yi and Jo Ann.

We took plenty of photos of one of our lovely dancers, Jo Ann Chen, doing some lovely dancing poses for us. If I were a girl, I would be tempted to sign up at this school to do lovely dancing poses like hers.
 


One of our lovely models and dancers, Xin Yi, brought her dog, Niko with her. Oops, I spelt his name wrongly.


The five pageant girls. There were supposed to be 10, but 5 could not make it. So these girls had less competition. Lucky or just lucky?


Our Emcee for the night, Vanny.

The pageant girls, the dancers, and all the judges.

The winner, Vass Thy.

 Winner Vass with Ms Popularity Kylie.
 Yes, it was also coincidental that she came down from a shoot where she was supposed to be dressed in the sports attire for Argentina in tune with the FIFA World Cup spirit.



 A picture of me and the two dancers. Wasn't planning to take something like this but since other photographers were doing so, I just jumped on the bandwagon and rode with the flow. So voila.

That concluded our night. Not so many photographers, and five less girls than what I expected. Nevertheless, it was very well organized with a lot of effort put in. Special thanks to Angel, Vanny, Vass, Xin Yi, and Jo Ann for the great performance. The area was at The Signature, around Changi Business Park area, which was not populated since it was a Saturday.

Nevertheless, a charming and fulfilling night. ;)

FHM Finals at Azzura, Sentosa, on 21 Jun 2014


Good day dudes and dudettes. Once again, another overdue post. This is about the FHM finals pageant that took place on 21 Jun 2014. It was at Azzura, one of the clubs at Siloso Beach, and it was not open until 5pm. This was how it looked like when I arrived.
 


This is one of the events avid event and model photographers would attend, since most of us would personally know models who are participating in the pageant. In my previous post, there were 20 ladies, but here, only the Top 10 are here.

They were: Miki Ace, Priscilla Wong, Sandy Nang, Sheryl Lim, Poh Xiang Yu, Karen Jong, Megan Long, Hilda Huang, and Eileen Chew.
More about them on this Forum post (those who did and didn't get in):

Note: I didn't manage to take photos of all the girls since not all the photos looked nice and for some of them, none of the photos flattered them. This was a pageant means they will be walking and it is always a challenge to take good photos when they are moving/walking.





























That's me with the two radio deejay hosts, Glenn Ong and Vernon Ang (Muttons on the Move).


We have our winners. 

2nd runner up Eileen Chew

1st runner up Poh Xiang Yu

Winner for the FHM pageant for 2014, Priscilla Wong

Congratulations Priscilla, and looking forward to see you on the cover for next month's FHM issue.
