It was fun. I have been to quite a number of events just these past weeks and I was tired of the same old thing. This party was rocking. Motown was the theme and people really took time to dress for the occasion with afro wigs, bell bottoms, psychedelic printed clothes and baby doll dresses.

There was a show where Drag Divas performed songs (lip sync) of Tina Turner, Supremes and music from the movie Dream Girls. After that, it was on to the dancing floor to a mix of 60's to 80's music. Celebrities such as Dawn Zulueta, Carmi Martin, Diether Ocampo (my crush) and others whom I probably did not see was there to see the action.




The spread was a mixture of Filipino, Japanese and Chinese cocktail food. Pork sate, dimsum, siopao, spring rolls, sushi and roast beef carving fed the Motown babies. There were drinks to make us all happy but most of all, it's the company that made this event fun. Check it out!






And now the guests...Anton, Leah and Steffie.
