UNO Magazine: Human Nature Photography Exhibit Benefits Manila Shrine Club

UNO Magazine together with MAKE UP FOR EVER invited the bloggers to have a sneak peak on what will happen on October 7, 2011 for UNO's Human Nature Photography Fashion Show at Genting Club, Resorts World.


I arrived late for this preview so I was not able to see it from scratch.  The two makeup artists were almost done on the models left side.  But still, I was amazed.  WOW!  A human canvass.  The model portrays a sea creature.  Detail by detail, I was really a witness on how painstakingly the model and the makeup artists go together for this human masterpiece.


Why did I only show half?  Well, dear readers, come this October 7, as I said, UNO will reveal the human nature masterpiece.

The event will showcase the photographs of GT Toledo, president of IlustradosPH, a group of young photographers, stylists, make-up artists and the like, zeroing in on the basic elements of nature: Earth, Wind, Fire, Water. These photographs will then be brought to life by make up artists of MAKE UP FOR EVER through body painting. The show promises to be an extravaganza of Filipino ingenuity through art.

This is also a fundraising event supported by the Manila Shrine Club for the benefit of burned and crippled children. The Manila Shrine Club supports children up to 18 years old with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries and cleft palate. 

UNO Magazine: From Print to iPad

At first, I thought UNO Magazine is just your typical monthly men's magazine, but while browsing through it on iPad (yes, you read it right, iPad), I learned to love this mag.  I learned that it is a magazine that appreciates art and the articles are fun and extraordinaire.

Now, let's go back to the iPad.  Yes, proud iPad owners you can now carry your UNO copy with your touch screen decvice.  I am pleased to share that UNO Magazine is now available in eReader format via Press Display for the iPad, iPhone, and the Amazon Kindle.

Soon, it will also be available on the Android OS eReader format and readers can subscribe to this eMagazine for a very minimum fee.

One more thing I love about UNO.  It says in the magazine and I quote, "We love women.  It is our belief that digital tools should be used to emphasize natural beauty and/or enhance a specific aesthetic not for turning people into wax models.  We think that there's more to men (and women) than their surfaces."

RJ Ledesma, editor-in-chief and Jayvee Fernandez, online editor of UNO Magazine explained further about this during the UNO on iPad launch at te M1NT Bar and Restaurant, Taguig City last November 23.

They showed the magazine using the iPad and proudly points to the photos that are not Photoshoped.  Scars, marks, and other imperfections of the models can be seen and I, together with the other bloggers, were all surprised.  I think they are the only ones who are doing it.  Great job, UNO, great job!
