CLEAR Black Area Party

2012-01-13T21:33:00.001+07:00

For those who were lucky enough to catch the performances of Agnes Monica, Ello and Sherina at Djakarta Warehouse Project(DWP) 2011 Black Area by CLEAR last December, we envy you. It was not only because you could get the chance to party-rockin with the awesome performers, but also because that was the first performance of Agnes Monica as CLEAR brand ambassador.

Oh by the way for those of you who have not known, BLACK AREA by CLEAR is the event to thank CLEAR users to their loyalty to the shampoo and to celebrate the success of CLEAR relaunch.

Agnes Monica herself is no stranger for us, proud Indonesians, or maybe for you guys living overseas. Yes, Agnes is the first Indonesian to co-host and perform in American Music Award Red Carpet. She has also sung duets with Michael Bolton and Keith Martin. Rumour has it that she'sworking on a song with Timbaland and she has also signed a contract with Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Fans of singing contest know her as a judge for the last Indonesian Idol, and she has received numerous awards here, both for her music and acting career.

Talented? Yes. Hard-working? True. Beautiful? Agreed.
We think she's a trendsetter and inspirational figure for Indonesian youth.

And for all those qualities, together with nice and healthy hair, she's now becoming CLEAR’s newest ambassador, joining Sherina, Sandra Dewi, Ello, and Irfan Bachdim on the list. CLEAR has always acknowledged the power of younger generation of Indonesia. Who doesn’t remember the Ayo! Indonesia Bisa campaign, the campaign that supported Indonesian athletes during the 26th SEA Games? Well I do.

Agnes Monica is talented, inspiring and innovative. And I think CLEAR also have the same equity image, thus they picked Agnes to become their ambassador. They’re such a match, and I believe they can support each other.

Well done, girl. And well done, CLEAR.

Oh bye the way, I will share some of the pictures from BLACK AREA by CLEAR here. Well, I wasn’t there but doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the ambiance. And so can you :)

We were lucky enough to be invited for Heidy Kalalo's Mango show for Jakarta Fashion Week 2011. Heidy styled the models with straight-cut (yet seductive) work outfits and hot LBDs. The dresses were mostly in black, oozing sexiness, and the short ones looked flapper-ish. We were hooked and provoked!
For more pictures...

P.S: thank you, Heidy Kalalo, for emailing us the invitation. Kissous :*

Please forgive Indonesians for bitching about batik everywhere.It's our cultural heritage, and we're proud of it. Teehee.

FYI, we have gazillion types of kain that you might not know. Google them. Be surprised.

Maaf ya kalau orang Indonesia banci banget soal batik. Soalnya batik memang warisan budaya yang membanggakan. Ya kan?
