Dara Fashion Find: Fashionista Dara Stuns Everyone as she Rocks the May Bride Look at the Airport

Woohoo! After quite a while, we have a complete Dara Fashion Find! ^___^ Dara is wearing Bernstock Speirs, Jean Paul Gaultier, Balmain, Chrome Hearts, Rolex, and Christian Louboutin! ^^ And the cost? A whopping  $6049! Her fashion is really comfy and relaxed, just as it should be while traveling! With the exclusion of her quirky veiled beanie though! ^_^ I am loving her Oxford tartan shoes! T_T Want so much. T_T But I think I’ll have to let my family starve for a good year before I can afford the trademark red soles of those shoes! Haha! ^^ And I am sure that if a normal human being (as opposed to Dara’s goddess-like aura) would wear that veiled beanie to the airport, she’d be surrounded and arrested by fashion police, her mind would be left reeling. T_T But our goddess pulls the entire look without a hitch, yeah? ^_^

Article: Guitarist Sharon Aguilar Mentions 2NE1 on Interview with Guitar World

Guitar Girl’d: Interview with Sharon Aguilar on CeeLo, 2NE1 and Miss President

Miss President

Sharon Aguilar wasn’t even going to audition.

But what the heck. She was in the right place at the right time, took a chance and landed a gig playing and touring worldwide with CeeLo Green during his Lady Killer album tour. As a student at Musicians Institute, Aguilar knew going to the Hollywood-based school would give her opportunities. She just didn’t realize they’d come so soon and mean so much.

Aguilar has experienced a second world tour with K-pop group 2NE1 and is still going strong. Focusing now on her projects at home in LA, Aguilar is excited about the launch of her new group, Miss President, made up of many of her touring mates, including DANiiVORY, Goldielox and B.Brooks.

I caught up with Aguilar as she returned to the US from Asia to shoot the breeze, talk guitar and get the scoop.

GUITAR WORLD: So, you’ve been doing a bit of traveling.

Yes, yes. Just got done with a six-month tour in Asia with the K-pop group 2NE1. That was a lot of fun. It was a part of the world I’ve never got to see before, so it was definitely a highlight to be able to play a lot of the venues out there and experience the culture.

Tell me about 2NE1.

I was playing with 2NE1 on their New Revolution Tour. It was a global tour, and we did a couple shows in the States too, at the Prudential Center and one at Nokia, which was sold out. It was a really cool show, will.i.am actually produced a lot of their tracks, and he came to the show and just started rapping over the encore and hanging out with us on stage, which was really cool.

But the 2NE1 girls, they’re a really big K-pop group. I felt bad because I really had no idea that there were other markets like that. I just felt like American entertainment was the be-all-end-all, and I feel ignorant for saying that. It just really opened my eyes to see what else is going on in the world, because K-pop is huge! These girls were selling out stadiums. It was just incredible. And they have very dedicated fans. It was a lot of fun.

Feature: Dara Among Sports Seoul’s Compilation of Celebrity Cosmetics Brand Models – “Idols VS Actresses”

Idols VS Actresses, Who Are The Best Cosmetics Models?

According to recent studies, the cosmetics industry has seen an increase of buyers in their teens, so in order to go into that particular market, idols are hired as CF models to give a more approachable vibe. Many of these cosmetic brand companies that employ these kinds of models have low to mid-priced products that are suitable and affordable for that age group. On the other hand, the “30-40” generation that goes for good skin care products, employ actresses who are in their 30s as their models. [Daily Sports Seoul] Lists down the celebrities from lively, perky idols to mature, graceful actresses that have the most unforgettable skin that are active as brand models for cosmetics.

Group 2NE1 member, Sandara Park has been recently selected as the new model for cosmetic brand Clio. A Clio representative said, “Sandara Park has the looks and the charisma that allows her to be able to show off a different range of colors, and then infuse her own charms into each different look,” the official continued, “Sandara Park really suits being a cosmetics model,” he reveals after stating their reason why they chose her as their model. For this cosmetic brand, Sandara Park was able to show different sides of her according in the pictorial depicting various concepts, shedding off her cute girl concept and going for a more mature woman’s feel.

Other idols that were mentioned are: f(x) Krystal for Etude House, SNSD Yoona for Innisfree, After School’s Izzy for Japan make-up brand, “Kiss Me.”

Feature: Dara Mentioned in Ricky Lo’s Article in Philippine Star Newspaper Last Year – “Into The Heart of Seoul”

Into the heart of Seoul

ent4new

MANILA, Philippines – During a break in the Hollywood Seoul junket for the Liam Neeson starrer Taken 2 middle of last year, I took a quick tour of the Korean Folk Village. What a find I made!

What greeted my friend Raoul Tidalgo and me was the widely-smiling face of Lee Young Ae (far right, above) at the entrance of one section. She’s the Korean actress who played the lead character Janggeum in Jewel in the Palace, a Koreanovela which was a hit in the Philippines aired on GMA.

This is what was written (with Korean translation) on the billboard with the headline Jewel in the Palace Shooting Location: This was used to film scenes involving the Janggeum and Hansanggung rituals for the MBC drama Jewel in the Palace (2003).

Anywhere we went, in malls and at the subway stations, another familiar face greeted us — yes, that of Sandara Park (below, left) endorsing beauty products. Did you know that Sandara so loved the Philippines (where she started her career before joining the top K-Pop group 2NE1) that she would come for incognito visits and she continues to connect with Filipino friends and fans via her Twitter?

At the lobby lounge of Grand Hyatt (sprawled on a hill) where invited journalists were billeted, featured group was Filipino band Sierra (below, right) composed of (from left)  Ledda Vinzons, pianist/arranger/music director; Wena Nagales, soprano 2; Joanne Francisco, soprano 1; Mitch dela Cruz, alto; Carl Trazo, tenor; and Mark Leonardo, bass…shown with DOT Sec. Ramon Jimenez Jr. when he was there in August last year. It was Sierra assigned to entertain Sec. Jimenez and his Philippine staff, and other international guests.

Oops! Pressed for time, we didn’t quite get into the very heart of Seoul, although we felt the beat of it.

I think this article came out last year? Taken2 was showed last year, and Dara was still with Etude. XD Cool to know though that she is very visible in Korea~! ^^ 

OhDara Special: Monthly Round-Up – Starting the Heat Of Summer with Dara in March

March was a relatively busy month for 2NE1 with several performances to tide us over until they actually make their comeback. Not only performances, but Dara has been busy in Twitter this month with her quirky and sometimes surprising updates! But we’ll get into SNS a bit later on.

Okay, first thing’s first, I bet that this month of March is unforgettable for all the Lucky 7s and YGE fans everywhere – because this month marked the enlistment of Choi Dong Wook, aka Se7en. He is the first YGE idol that enlisted to the army, so as expected, a lot were sad to see him go, not the least his fellow artists.

Feature: Meet Gadaffi Ismail Sabri, Dara’s Malaysian Celebrity Fanboy – “My Darling Dara!”

Okay, so I bet some of you guys (those who follow me on Twitter anyways XD) might have known this was coming. ^^ Gadaffi Ismael Sabi (@dafiismailsabri) is a Malaysian celebrity fanboy of Dara’s who I find really cute with his spazzing and all. XD Gadaffi, who is more known for his nickname, Dafi, born on December 14, 1988,  is a singer/actor who got his break into Malaysia’s entertainment world when he participated in a reality TV talent show, Akademi Fantasia. If you guys can still remember, he was already featured in the blog last year for being one of Dara’s celebrity fanboys!  Check this article out if you want to know more about Dafi!

Gadaffi

He was tweeting in excitement on the evening of the 23rd, and went to watch Twin Towers Alive Concert in Malaysia, where 2NE1 performed in! Like all of us fans, specially the Blackjacks MY who were at the venue, he started tweeting even before 2NE1 came up on stage. He then went on to do a series of tweets calling Dara “darling” which I find really cute and endearing, kekeke!

GadaffiTweet GadaffiTweetDara

He also uploaded pictures of the girls performing on his Instagram! These are the group shots that he uploaded:

FanboyInsta2

FanboyInsta1

Prior to the concert, on the 19th, he uploaded an Instagram picture of his phone’s wallpaper. Guess who is in it? Right! Our cutie Sandara Park! <333

FanboyInsta5

Before the concert, he tweeted that he wanted to meet with Dara and the girls! But sadly, this didn’t happen. T_T But I think it’s safe to say that he enjoyed himself at the concert and was happy enough to see his “darling” Dara in person! ^^

Interview: Yoo Min Kyu “I Like Amanda Seyfried and Sandara Park, I Think of Them While I Act my Role”

Yoo Min Kyu was recently interviewed by MyDaily for his new movie, “Kisaragi Mikki Jjang,” where he plays the role of Iemoto, one of the five “uncle fans” or “otakus” who gathered together at the death of their idol, celebrity, Kisaragi Mikki. In the movie, Iemoto says “I am an encyclopedia when it comes to Mikki-chan.” With his tall frame and handsome face, the interview delves on how Yoo Minkyu would carry out being someone who loves another so zealously and loyally in real life and how he would go about it as his character in the movie, Iemoto.

201303061059161115_3

I did worry over how to act as one of the leads, Iemoto. Being in film and theater gave me a solid foundation on acting, but how I would come out with this particular character had me a bit worried. I personally like Amanda Seyfried and Sandara Park. So while I was acting, I was thinking of them too.

Basically, Yoo Min Kyu is worried over how to act as an ultimate fanboy of a celebrity, like his character in the movie is. So he thinks of Amanda and Dara, celebrities that he likes and then how he would act if he were going to be a full-blown, crazy-over-you, with encyclopedia-knowledge fanboy over them. He’s already a fanboy, well he considers himself a fan anyway, but can you imagine Yoo Min Kyu going all otaku over Dara?! Kekekeke! OMG I really think he’d make a cute otaku, buying her merch, albums, and all! He makes a cute fanboy, don’t you think? ^^

More on Yoo Min Kyu: He starred in the drama, Shut Up Flower Boy Band and To The Beautiful You. He’s an up-and-coming actor, but he landed on these two successful dramas already!

But don’t you guys think he looks familiar?

30000162898

That’s right! He’s Dara’s “Candy Man” in her trilogy-CF for Nikon! Do you remember him yet? Kekekeke! I guess Dara left him quite the great impression for him to think of her while acting as an otaku! ^_^
