Vinyl + Splash

I was an ultimate stage girlfriend last Saturday when my boyfriend's ad agency handled the Vinyl + Splash: The Ultimate Collectible and Comic Convention presented by Fully Booked together with Comic Odyssey, Vinyl on Vinyl and Red Nimbus. Paolo was also one of the official photographers of the event so I went there to see the country's first ever comic exhibit which will now benefit the United Nation's World Food Program to fight hunger.


The exhibit showcased collectibles like comic books, graphic novels, vinyl toys, street art and other pop culture collectibles and illustrations by Sarah Gaugler, Nemo Aguila, Mico Suayan and more plus the legendary "Joana Hex" artist, Mr. Tony De Zuniga.

Being a super duper girly girly, I admit I'm not into comics except for WITCH and Archie (hahaha) but I loooove watching comic-turned-to-a-movie films especially if it's from Marvel.

I also came from a beauty workshop/session with my colleague from TV5, Erica, at the Fashion Institute of the Philippines so, yeah, my face's kind of glammed up when I arrived at the event.

Carrying a CBTL paperbag with me. That's Erica's pabaon for me!

I love Hellboy!

A single piece touched by all participating artists! One of a kind!

The SQUIK work!

My favorite: SUPERMAN. That face is Jesus'.

Fully Booked was fully booked!

Sanya Smith made me look shorter!

With Gaby!

Mas close sila! Hahaha :D
