Thanks Oliver, I wish I could have Odit live with me in my house so I could step out channeling icons a few days of the week.

Well D, this is your thing--photography, dressing up, playing. Though I think YOU are in a position to be canvas and photographer and possibly stylist too (I haven't seen you do that but I'm sure when you do, with your regular photo experiments on Multiply)

Some unforgettables are your NU shots, your stupid ways to die in the bathroom series and well, that pirate in the city of lights shot.

Diana's adventures all sorts of "wonderlands" always a trip.

Good MORNENG!

Awesome, Karen. :) The funny thing is you don't look a day over the first time I read your column in the 90s. haha.

nazgulqueen wrote on Mar 4

Lynn--you and Cooky got me started on Odit and needless to say your photoshoot with EB and Odit was a big inspiration!

I hope I can see more of the shots soon. Salamat Lynn.

Kakatuwa nga, the transformation that happens. One minute you're just someone on the street lugging a suitcase, then you sit down, you have no idea what Odit does and then *POOF* Cinderella can now go to the ball--and the handsome prince will want your stylist too.

nazgulqueen wrote on Mar 4

I guess when the mood gets fun and playful and the location is also fun, the photographer can also play and fly around. Creative collaboration is a true pleasure in situations like this.

I know! And with odit to boot- good team there!

nazgulqueen wrote on Mar 4

Why oh why did I only discover him now? I heard about the cross over shoot he did with Jake and Lynn for Pulp--so curious to see the shots.

nazgulqueen wrote on Mar 4

A cobra would be nice around now.

I wonder what kind of reptile / worm would be found naman in a chocolate martini.

if you have another shoot with odit let me know if i can crash it...would love to see her and i don't get to hang out with lynn anymore :(

and i know what you mean...i've felt the most fabulous looking when odit styles me....it would be fantastic to get styled anytime you leave the house!!!!

ebeseyes wrote on Mar 4

i remember our first collaboration! odit's creation then was fantastic. :<)

"you saw how awful I looked before Odit "fixed me up"!"

-- What was this shoot for?

nazgulqueen wrote on Mar 4

3Fs - Food Fun and Fortpolio

Odit's been wanting to have his "creations" online and well, his work is so "inspired" nice to have to opportunity to have captured images of them.

marlitharn wrote on Mar 4

nazgulqueen said

Yes, i love those NU shots as well. I always look at them and i hope that I can produce shots like those again! :D

Wonderland is such a mad and wondrous place to be. :)

ebeseyes wrote on Mar 4, edited on Mar 4

um, her wedding. :<)

lagkat wrote on Mar 4

"um, her wedding. :<)"

-- Oh, did Odit design Anabel's gown and style her? That WAS fabulous!

dizzychick76 wrote on Mar 5

yup, Odit did my dress and hair- Ricci chan did my makeup.
Sayang I don't have those photos...Eddie boy took such great shots.

And yes, I was fabulous that day. Nervous, but fab.

nazgulqueen wrote on Mar 5

Odit did talk about Anabel and her wedding when I was trying on his Tia Dalma design.

Eddie Boy, do you still have those shots?

I was thinking the Tia Dalma dress would make such a great, crazy wedding dress, and EB and I mentioning possible grooms for the shot. Unfortunately, I want only ONE, halfway around the world nga lang and I may have to go through an "agent."

Anabel, how did you meet Odit?

He'd be tickled pink reading this thread.

dizzychick76 wrote on Mar 5

met him via ricci chan and lynn sherman- when i was making the wedding plans they suggested odit and i loved her!!!!

nazgulqueen wrote on Mar 5

Hence an oft-heard plea from my lips in situations involving cameras--"tulungan mo ako, kailangan kong magmukhang tao!"

nazgulqueen wrote on Mar 5, edited on Mar 5

You and Lynn use she/her as well, I guess I should too!

She'd enjoy this thread so I hope she sees it.

What a late discovery on my part. I guess he and Lynn have had a good (working!!!) relationship for a long time now.

lagkat wrote on Mar 5

I think I need an excuse for my own Odit creation...well, I need money, too, but first: an excuse. ;-)

nazgulqueen wrote on Mar 5

My excuse for the TD dress is coming up this April. And Odit can be quite reasonable...but when he opens his shop in LA or NY, then may be different story na. In my dream I'm his receptionist / client database handler / secretary when he opens a shop in LA.

"Mme. Kidman, your fitting with Odit is scheduled for tomorrow, don't forget!"

Ooh-la-la! =)

I just need clothes!

She's a proper artist, Odit. I'm still waiting for her to see this page!

I'm GAME! Ha ha ha! I think if I have a stash of Emperador in my maleta for this, it'll be all good with Cooky.

nazgulqueen wrote on Mar 6

I felt like I was someone else! Odit is great, I had no idea what she was doing to me. Just about 10 minutes (yes that quick) of him telling me to look up, look down, smile while he painted me and just feeling my hair go this way and that. Then POOF. I'm like, "who is that chick?" Odit ROOOOOOOOOCKS!

dizzychick76 wrote on Mar 8

Yes, she does.
And so do you, dear!

Well the thing is, Odit's the fairy godmother who gets Cinderella transformed to the ball! Without Odit, I'm just the chick picking her nose waiting for the grocery line to move.

nazgulqueen wrote on Mar 24

We actually had 5 set ups. One where I looked a bit boring because I "styled" myself. Two others--where I sort of tried to do Claudia from Interview with the Vampire off on the boat to Paris with Louis and one where I'm dressed as a pirate captain in Odit's clothes as well. But Odit Tia was the clear "winner" and there are a truckload of shots which I stored on my hard disk. Again, the magic is from Odit and I hope she returns to this page to see the new comments. Thanks Monique! I'm replying to you while Wawi is shooting YOU. Share naman!

Again, I owe it all to the Fairy Godmother, Odit.

Thanks Chiquicat!

nazgulqueen wrote on Mar 24

Buti nalang it's saved for posterity, too bad hindi ganito hitsura ko araw araw. Baka mas marami ako maacomplish pag ganito ako. Odit, salamat ulit! Live with me nalang!
