Meeting Miss J and Nigel Barker – Beyond the Surface

By Hannah + April 15th, 2011

First of all, I would like to thank Ayala Malls for making this possible!

As part of Ayala Mall’s “Style Origin” events from Feb to May, they invited over Fashion Photographer Nigel Barker and Runway Coach Miss J over at Ayala Malls.

They will be in 3 malls, in 3 days. Day 1 just finished If you want a chance to meet them too, read further

Host was Bianca Valerio and she did a great job

I have been observing how she hosts the entire night because I host events too. I learned from her. She has a guide with her but she barely looks at it. She even read the books of Nigel and Miss J beforehand just so that she can ask more relevant questions and follow-up from it.

Nigel Barker – Beauty Equation

It was an inspiring night for me I’ve followed ANTM throughout the different cycles and I learned a lot watching the show, from how to pose and even some photography techniques and ideas!

Anyway, the night started with Nigel Barker being interviewed first.

He also has a book called Beauty Equation. In his book, he couldn’t emphasize enough that beauty is measured beyond the physical only. I tried to buy the book, but it was sold out or rather, Powerbooks and Fullybooked (who had mini booths selling their books) didn’t have enough stock >.< Maybe I shall buy it online or something. I’ll figure it out.

Nigel was also once a model himself and he even studied everything related to his industry – that includes pattern making, tailoring, makeup and many more. He said that one mistake people make in pursuing their career is to just focus on one thing. What he believes should be done is to learn everything about the industry that you are in

Miss J – Follow the Model

Next, Bianca introduced Miss J!

I personally told him my thank you for being an inspiration to many (including me). He can’t emphasize enough that you must live your dreams, work it, and own it! Everything is hard work and you should believe in yourself.

(I took down notes because I want to remind myself all the time why I’m doing what I love doing)

On the book signing, I mentioned to him that I’m an accountant too, but that I sort-of moved forward from it and he said so dearly in his own writing:

New Friends

I met a few new people, one of them has my name @_@

Hannah and Genevieve

A few Lucky people who interacted with Miss J and Nigel Barker, teaching them catwalk 101.

Book Signing with Nigel Barker and Miss J

Earlier,

After the first set of interview,

SOLD OUT!

It’s a good thing that at I had at least one book

Nigel Barker and Miss J will be in two other malls tomorrow (Friday) and the day after (Saturday).

Unfortunately, no more meet and greet on the day after Saturday (Sunday).

Sorry if I confused you, Rebecca Black is in my system!

If you want to get a chance to meet them, here’s how:

(info based on the Greenbelt 3 Park flyer and schedule)

- They will give stubs to shoppers with seating priority on first-come, first-served basis.

- Stubs will be issued early in the mall, so go check early on at Trinoma on Friday and Alabang Town Center on Saturday.

- 1 stub = 1 seat only

- For Ayala Malls A Cardholders: First 24 Ayala Malls A Cardholders to reserve seats are entitled to 2 tickets. (757-4853 is their hotline)

I’m not sure if the rules are the same on the different malls, but do go there as early as 11am if you really want this chance!

- and of course, follow Ayala Malls on Facebook to get the latest updates because I think they will be posting soon (or maybe they have posted it already), the details for the Trinoma and ATC meet and greet.

Sweetie, how much are the books? Do you have to buy from the stalls at the event so you can have them signed? Thanks, im hoping to catch them at ATC later.

  yes, you have to buy it in stalls, but it’s not garantee they’ll give you a stub for book signing. bought the book for P500++

    Bought the 2 books. Beauty Equation is at 700++ and Miss J’s is at 400++. I asked my sister to fall in line at Nigel’s book signing and I went to Miss J’s. I must say she is very sincere and she wanted to really know the person who purchased the book. I loved her dedication.
