Solenn Heusaff UNO Magazine Photos
One of my favorite Celebrity Survivor - Solenn Heusaff. But this ain't Survivor Philippines but rather Solenn Heusaff on UNO Magazine. Sexy eh!
One of the best thing we like watching Solenn on Survivor is that, she's very simple. Contrary to what we've pictured her when we first saw her. We thought she's the 'pasosyal' type. We've been corrected.

Survivor Philippines Top 4 - Aubrey Miles, Solenn Heussaf, Akihiro Sato and Ervic Vijandre
Survivor Philippines Top 4 consisting of Aubrey Miles, Solenn Heussaf, Akihiro Sato and Ervic Vijandre. Altho according to the last Tribal Council, this will still be reduced to Top 3 but will be revealed on Dec 3, 2010. Who will be the eliminated from the Top 4? Who do you think will be the Sole Celebrity Survivor?
In an interview by Philstar.com, here's what the Top 4 of Survivor Philippines has to say.
SUPREME: You all had your own things going, before Survivor. Why did you guys sign up for this?
AKIHIRO SATO: I joined Survivor because I wanted to see how this reality show
works and I wanted to challenge myself, how to survive on the island without all the luxuries.
SOLENN HEUSAFF: For experience. I’ve been a big fan of the show since the first one and I’ve always said I wanted to join. I thought there’s no way in hell I could but then they made the Celebrity Edition and I thought, again, ‘Hell no.’ But then my friends started auditioning so I thought, might as well audition. I just wanted to prove to myself that I could do it, and prove to others also.
ERVIC VIJANDRE: Well, there’s the three million. [Laughs] And ito yung chance ko to make a name for myself.
AUBREY MILES: Since the US version, fan talaga ako ng Survivor. Yun nalang yung gusto ko gawin ngayon sa career ko. I’m not really looking forward to anything in my career. I just want to join reality shows. Dream ko yun eh—Amazing Race, Survivor. Then there’s the experience. I want to know how to play it. Kasi pag nanonood ako, I really get emotional. I want to see how it feels to play that.
What were your expectations going into the show?
AKIHIRO: I was expecting the mosquitos. I was sure we were going to get a lot of mosquitos. I expected to see a nice place, with at least coconut trees. If you watch old Survivors, there’s at least a nice beach. I thought I could survive on coconuts.
SOLENN: I had the same problem. The Survivors were usually on “heaven” islands, with lots of fruits and fish. We were in the mangroves. The only thing we could find were clams. We couldn’t even swim deeper than knee-high because we weren’t allowed since there were sea snakes.
What was the most difficult part of living there for you guys?
AUBREY: Yung living every day talaga.
SOLENN: These three didn’t have shelter for two weeks, their tribe.
ERVIC: Walang bubong, walang food, walang mapaglutuan ng rice.
SOLENN: The hard part is also sleeping in your wet clothes…
AUBREY: At sa lupa!
SOLENN: It doesn’t do justice, when you watch it. It looks like we’re in a park. It was a town that got demolished by the tsunami so it’s all shaved.
ERVIC: Kaya nakakaasar pag may nagsasabi, ‘Uy scripted.’ Di niyo alam kung ano yung hirap na dinamas namin sa island.
AUBREY: Walang washing. Ako pa ayoko maligo sa beach kasi madumi. Naliligo lang ako pag umuulan. Yun lang chance ko mag-kuskos pero walang toothbrush, soap, shampoo.
What did you like most about it? Being on the show?
AKIHIRO: For me, it was the challenge and experience to live in the island.
SOLENN: It was pushing yourself to the limits. I mean, these two [points at Akihiro and Ervic] stood for 11 hours. You’d never do that in real life. Even if someone paid you, you’d say, ‘Hell no.’ But there, you do it because you’re in competition. You just never think you’re going to do that.
ERVIC: Siyempre yung once in a lifetime talaga. Kahit sobrang hirap, alam naming tatatak ito sa buhay namin, makwekwento namin kahit matanda na kami.
AUBREY: Ako, siguro nag-enjoy lang ako nung top 10 na. Na-feel ko na talaga na this is it, ito ang sinalihan ko. Pag tumagal ka na ng two weeks, you’ll feel na sayang na. Dun mo na makikita yung game. It was the point that everyone was playing and I enjoyed that.
Survivor is a game of deception. Do you guys have any regrets? Anything you wish you can take back?
AUBREY: Ako wala kasi sa Survivor, you’re allowed to do anything you want, as long as you don’t hurt physically. Just do kung ano makakabuti sayo, ano makakatulong sayo tumagal.
ERVIC: Alam ko ano papasukin so alam ko kung ano yung pwede mangyari. This is the game of Survivor. It’s part of the game.
SOLENN: I don’t reject anything but maybe I’d do different things, like different alliances. [Laughs] But we’re in the top four so we’re pretty happy.
What did you learn to live without?
AKIHIRO: Clean clothes.
AUBREY: Lip gloss.
SOLENN: Cellphone. I thought I would die without it, but I didn’t really look for it.
ERVIC: Ako banyo.
SOLENN: Yeah, having to wipe our asses with our hands… We pooped, like, four times in 36 days.
AKIHIRO: Me, two times. [Laughs] So after, in the jury’s house, I was in the bathroom for hours.
So how do you become friends after outwitting, outplaying, and outlasting?
SOLENN: I think it’s because, us, we know it’s a game so we don’t have anything against each other.
AUBREY: Tsaka lagi din kaming magkasama sa island so lagi kami magkausap. Matagal kami magkasama so we got closer. And top four kami so pare-pareho. Iba yung feelings ng jury sa feelings ng top four.
SOLENN: And you get comfortable with everyone because even though we all just met each other on the island, we smelled each other’s worse smells, we’ve seen each other’s worst itsura in the morning. We did all the bad things so we’re all open.
ERVIC: When we were promoting out of town, isang room nalang.
AUBREY: Nasanay na.
ERVIC: At first, they gave us rooms pero nagsisiksikan din kami sa isang room so sabi nila, isang room nalang palagi. [Laughs]
AUBREY: Tabi-tabi pa rin kami.
ERVIC: Nasanay na kasing tabi-tabi eh.
Katrina Halili Kawasaki Model
Katrina Halili is the new face of Kawasaki. I think this is a direct competition with Marian Rivera who is the model of Honda Scooters. But these Katrina Halili Kawasaki photos are way way much hotter than those of Marian Rivera with Honda bikes.

It's Party Time! 10 Simple Tips & Tricks to Transform your Everyday Look
Photo Courtesy of lyricsdigger.info
The holiday season is upon us and that means more stress, more expenses and... MORE PARTIES! Holiday parties call for an "extra special" version of your everyday self. I think we'd all like to look a bit more glamorous for the parties this season, but how? Who has the time and money to create a whole new look? This is why I've put together a list of simple tips and tricks for taking your usual look to the next level. This way you'll still look like yourself... just more fabulous!
1. Get your glow on. Adding a little luminosity to your look can really get you into the holiday spirit! Look like you're glowing from within with some well-placed shimmer. Dust Madeleine Mono Special Effects Face Powder anywhere the light would naturally touch. Try applying to cheekbones, forehead, nose and collarbones for a natural, radiant sheen.
2. Have your brows professionally shaped (or at least look like you did.) If you can swing it, nothing beats having your brows professionally shaped. Well-shaped brows can take years off, and make you look more awake, instantly. If circumstances do not allow for you to have this service done professionally, do not despair! We have just the thing. Too Faced Brow Envy Kit can help you to achieve the brows of your dreams! It has everything you need to get salon-perfect brows at home. Whether you do it yourself, or have someone else do it, get those brows in shape! It is one of the simplest things you can do to get yourself party-ready.
3. Pump up the volume. Add some oomph to your 'do with a little volume at the crown. Whether wearing your hair up or down, this tweak adds glamour to ho-hum hair. Try a volumizing mousse or one of the new root-lifters for touchable, weightless volume. Apply the product to damp roots and blow-dry upside down for maximum impact.
4. Gloss over it. Nothing has a more beautiful effect on lips than a little bit of festive shine. Glosses can add moisture to dry lips and help them to appear fuller. To make lips appear their plumpest, dab a high-shine, plumping gloss like LipFusion Micro-Injected Collagen - Color Shine onto the center of lips. This placement creates the illusion of a fuller mouth while special ingredients work to plump instantly for your most gorgeous lips ever.
5. Define your lash line. Make lashes appear richer, thicker and more beautiful by defining your lash line with a black pencil. Sistina Eye Crayon Definire in Carboncino never needs sharpening, for effortless glamour. For a modern look, apply pencil to top lash line only and smudge a bit before applying two generous coats of your favorite mascara.
6. Try shimmery nude nails. Be holiday-festive and work appropriate all at once with this gorgeous take on the neutral manicure. A bit of pearl adds some well-deserved glamour to this classic look. Sara St. James Easy Color Nail Enamel in Sugar Berry is a universally flattering shade with just the right amount of shimmer!
7. Add some color. Need a quick and easy way to change up your eye makeup? Try a new shade of eye liner! This subtle change will instantly update your look and requires no new makeup skills. Deep purples and blues are the most flattering and help to make eyes look brighter. Try Pur Minerals Mineral Eye Defining Pencil with Smudger in Midnight Sapphire or Black Amethyst.
8. Wear a piece of "statement" jewelry. Nothing ups your glamour quotient like a large bauble with plenty of sparkle. A large cocktail ring or dramatic necklace can take an everyday look from so-so to spectacular with a minimum of effort. Inexpensive cocktail jewelry is available everywhere you look and can really spice things up for the holidays.
9. Try a bold lip. It worked for the screen stars of the 1950's and it can work for you too! A bold lip creates drama in moments and can add life to a lackluster complexion. If red is your thing, nothing says "holidays" like a rich, true red. If you're not into red, try a striking fuschia or saturated rose-tone. Sistina Lipcolor Perfetta in Red Glorioso is one of my holiday favorites!
10. Say it with Sparkle. If you need to get your wardrobe ready to party and are at loss for ideas, try this easy fix: Add at least one heavily sequined or beaded piece to your repertoire. These can be added to almost any outfit for a instant injection of holiday spirit. If you're the understated type, try an accessory like a belt or clutch. More of a drama queen? Wear a sequined top, jacket or dress and truly make an entrance!
With these simple updates, you can take your look from average to amazing with very little investment. Try any or all for an easy, holiday update to your usual look. You'll be happy you did!
