Anne fancies bartending

MANILA, Philippines - Anne Curtis has proven that she can achieve anything once she puts her mind to it. And after a successful singing (or what she calls entertaining) career that spawned the Annebisyosa concert series and an album, the Filipina-Australian actress now wants to dabble in bartending.

And if a local version of the 2000 hit film Coyote Ugly is to be made, Anne could clinch the role of a sizzling hot bartender who has more than just cocktail mixing skills.

Anne says that she was first inspired to try out bartending by Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM) students who join the GSM Blueniversity and GSM Blue Flair Idol every year.

“I have been attending the mixology and flairtending event as a guest for so long, so I asked myself, ‘Why not?’ So I tried it, and I found that I enjoyed the experience so much. Flairtending naman is very interesting and sexy, especially if you are a woman,” says Anne, who is set to appear in a new TVC for GSM Blue.

Anne said GSM Blueniversity’s mixology and flairtending seminars are a big help to students who are looking to improve their employment chances in the competitive HRM industry here and abroad.

 “Anne has made huge contributions to GSM Blue over the years, not only in terms of promoting our brand but in our efforts to help the youth through GSM Blueniversity. We could not have asked for a better brand ambassador,” says GSM Blue brand manager Lori Infante.

Among the topics discussed in the seminars are trends in bartending, molecular mixology and global and local alcoholic law.

For the last two months of 2012, the brand is slated to conduct GSM Blueniversity Mixology Seminars at the Pacita Astrodome (Nov. 20); Olongapo Convention (Nov. 21); Victory Central Mall (Nov. 23); The Avenue Plaza Hotel (Nov. 25); Duad Gymnasium (Dec. 4); Grand Theater, PAGCOR Parañaque (Dec. 6); and Cuneta Astrodome (Dec. 7).
