Lou Bonnevie and Toto Gentica: This is Fair Use

Since Lou Bonnevie and Toto Gentica of Dimitri Productions clearly do not grasp even the most basic intellectual property concepts, allow me to demonstrate to them fair use for comment and criticism in accordance with Section 185 of the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines:

Oh, and Dimitri, don’t bother reading through the Code for a loophole you can exploit. I already checked. I am not a laywer, but to the best of my understanding, nothing in that law could possibly justify what you did to Alodia and Tricia.

Filipina Supermodel’s Blog Post Makes Philippine Daily Inquirer

Congratulations to Filipina supermodel Anna Bayle on having her blog post on model eating habits featured in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Thelma Sioson San Juan writes:

Cosmetic surgery, beauty and treatments are a multibillion-peso industry.

That’s why I found interesting what New York-based Anna Bayle wrote recently in her blog (check out Annabayle.com). Anna, acknowledged by newspapers and magazines the world over as the first and only Asian supermodel and one of the world’s top 10 models in the ’80’s, has returned to the fashion scene. She has a well-read website, does reporting for Lookonline and is packaging her own TV show.

She wrote, “Modelling is not a sickness, anorexia is.” She said that at her modeling peak, she was 110 lbs. (at 5 ft. 10), and worked to keep that weight because she had couture shows to do.

“Here’s that sexy number that every model will want to wear and there is nothing more unforgivable than you ripping the zipper accidentally when the women from the ateliers are dressing you. They have been working on the garment for 3 months and here you come, destroying their masterpiece.”
