Are Younique?

I got an e-mail from my schoolmate who's family runs Ideal Vision. She sent me this "file," in the hopes of having a Filipino as the winner of this contest. Think you have the face to represent this eye wear brand? Or know someone who does? Find out the deets here and help spread the word :)

The Police is looking for YOU to be the new face of their Be Younique 2010 advertising campaign. This "competition" is open to both men and women, "who express the same plucky style and individuality as the Police image."

To participate, go to http://www.police-beyounique.com—register, send your photo, and a short brief on what makes you unique enough to win. Visitors will get to vote and select 10 people, with a total of 60 finalists to cap off the search. Around September 2009, the people from Police, Italy (plus, the creative agency) will then agree on a winner.

The prize? The winner shall participate as the model for the new Be YOUnique 2010 campaign images. Plus, a holiday trip for 4 pax is up for grabs for the person who invites the most number of recruits to sign up for the competition. Naaa-ice!

Limited Timepieces

Who could ever forget these famous lines, “I’ll be back,” and “Hasta la Vista, baby!”?  Though the 2003's franchise (Rise of the Machines) didn't really give me an unforgettable experience, I was excited to watch this fourth franchise.  Christian Bale stars as the lead, and this A-list celeb somehow convinced me that this time, the story line will be much more thrilling.  We watched it yesterday, and it did went beyond my expectations.  Two thumbs up :D

Riding with the hit movie is the release of a limited edition Terminator watch set—a collaboration between Sony Pictures and Police.  Only 1,000 pieces are manufactured worldwide, and I was pleasantly amazed to find out that this set was actually tastefully designed!  Carrying the “Terminator Salvation” logo and an individual serial number, each box has the Terminator trooper watch and a Police Indy leather bracelet.  Black ion-plated, all stainless steel and water resistant up to 100 meters, the chronograph timepiece can be worn for casual days or weekend parties.  The Police leather bracelet also lends a rough edgy look matched with a classy stainless steel buckle for the man who’s always in style. Visit selected Watch Republic stores, and leading department stores.

Another special edition watch that you should check out is this Storm Vice timepiece.  Only a few pieces have been brought in, and each watch comes with a authenticity card.  Most Storm watches do not come with a card, so this is a plus for those who collect watches.  Specifications include: Japanese movement, stainless steel case, 50m water resistance that comes with a rubber strap and an S-fold clasp for a sleeker look.  Available in Rose Gold (see above pic), Slate and Black. Hubby and I are eyeing this Rose Gold model—the rubber straps give a futuristic feel, while the rose gold makes it appear vintage in style.  We might just drop by Shangri-la Plaza soon to check out this model ;)
