Where was that again?

Dahlings, I can’t remember when so many personas enjoyed a birthday bash cum fashion show more than the one held at jumping Hard Rock Café for everyone’s favorite hunk Carlos Agassi, hosted by Mansfield Int’l, makers of Hanford, and Carlos is of course the numero uno dude for Hansford Sport. Mucho macho dudes paraded around in the latest Hanford underwear, but the grand finale naturelle-ment when Carlos A. made his entry, took his shirt off and teasingly pulled his pants halfway down. Needless to say, the women swooned and screamed.

Patricia Javier, endorser for sister brand Hartman, went onstage to greet Carlos. Concert queen Pops Fernandez made an appearance, as did TV host extraordinaire Kris Aquino, southern beauty Vina Morales, golden voiced Luke Mejares of South Border, irrepressible Tessa Prieto Valdez, supremely handsome Marc Nelson, pretty Peachy Veneracion with bosom pal Raul Teehankee.
