Add sexiness and confidence to your laidback denim wear with JAG Jeans! Get inspiration from the Bb. Pilipinas beauty queens who strutted their stuff in JAG casual ensembles during the Bb. Pilipinas 2015 “The Road to the Crown” Pre-pageant Special at the SMART Araneta Coliseum.

All eyes were on the 34 binibinis as they sashayed the runway in a variety of denim flares featuring JAG Denim Technology that enhance their curves and accentuate their trimmed physique. JAG’s midriff-baring crop tops, denim shirts and vests also added style and personality to their look. Their chic ensembles boosted up their confidence and fun spirit all through the evening.

Backstage at the fashion show, the candidates talked about why JAG is a staple in their wardrobe. “I love JAG because it fits me perfectly. My favorite is the Slim Illusion. I wear it to parties and casual events,” said candidate #15 Paula Rich Bartolome. “I think JAG jeans are very flattering, very sexy, especially the Sexy High Waist. They enhance my curves and they have this butt lifting effect,” quipped candidate #32 Danita Joan Ruazol. The other girls echoed in agreement—JAG’s “perfect fit” and diversity of style are two of its most loved qualities.

Aside from the pageant candidates, the reigning Bb. Pilipinas 2014 beauty queens also walked the stage in JAG Sexy High Waist paired with red form-fitting tops: Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2014 Mary Jean Lastimosa, Bb. Pilipinas-International 2014 Bianca Guidotti, Bb. Pilipinas-Tourism 2014 Parul Shah, Bb. Pilipinas Supranational 2014 Yvethe Marie Santiago, and Bb.

JESSIE J to visit Manila, set to perform at the Smart Araneta Coliseum

April 21, 2014April 21, 2014 PRNEWS Leave a comment

After numerous number one singles and a debut album that headed straight for the top, selling millions worldwide, show-stopping performances in front of a global audience of billions at the Olympics and extraordinary acts for charity that hit the headlines, London-born songstress Jessie J shakes up Manila in “Jessie J Live in Manila on July 14, 2014 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum presented by Midas Promotions in cooperation with Futuretainment, Inc.

The 26-year-old pop star burst onto the scene in 2011 with the explosive single, “Do It Like A Dude” in a feisty performance with a video so strong there was certainly no ignoring this talented new singer-songwriter, surfing between tough RnB and rap. That was followed by “Price Tag”, the anti-materialistic anthem of its year, and an album that sold in its millions going platinum several times over. But that was just the beginning of a journey that would see Jessie become the first British woman in history to take six top ten singles from one album and never mind that it was her first outing.

To add to those achievements are some pretty impressive statistics: coming up for 15 million sales, a Brit, the BBC Sound of 2011 award, two number one singles in the UK, number ones in no fewer than 19 countries, a number six hit in the US with “Domino”. There are many more. We could go on. And that’s not to mention her part in The Voice UK, the highly-rated BBC1 Saturday night prime-time show where she has mentored hopefuls alongside legends like Sir Tom Jones and will.i.am.

The former Voice UK coach also released her second studio album Alive in September and shaved off her trademark bob for Comic Relief, donating the hair to be woven into wigs for children who had lost their hair during cancer treatment. “I wrote my first album when I was 18. This is definitely more mature,” she said of her new record on which she wrote and worked on with the likes of Rodney Jerkins, Claude Kelly and Stargate.

Witness as Jessie J delivers an evening of hits, dance tunes, trendsetter waysand show-stopping vocals which alters from jump-up and rave anthems made for nightclubs to soft ballad highlights including Domino, Laserlight, Thunder, Excuse My Rude, Do It Like A Dude, Wild, Who You Are, Price Tag, and It’s My Party.

Tickets will go on sale on April 8, 2014 at 9:00am at www.ticketnet.com.ph and Ticketnet outlets. For inquiries, call 911-5555.
