FEBRUARY 2012 EDITORIAL: RED ON A ROLL

This is our February issue and we call this issue, RED ON A ROLL. The color red is the strongest color among the basic colors. It conjures different feelings and emotions. It can either mean love or war. It could either mean cupid or the devil. It means hot...It is flaming. It stimulates and sometimes seethes a person into anger. Red symbolizes excitement, energy, speed, strength, danger, passion, and aggression.

For this issue, we will talk all about red. Our front cover is Eva Ekvall a Venezuelan beauty queen that aroused the feelings of everyone in the pageant world in relation to her fight against the dreaded big “C” – that of breast cancer. Although October is supposed to be the Breast Cancer Month, we have included in our issue the topic on Breast Self-Examination in relation to our article about Eva. We have raised the RED ALARM S AND ALERTS against breast cancer in this article.

Our resident fashion reviewer will talk about ladies who competed in red gowns in their international beauty pageants and she has lots to say about them. Another contributor will talk about men in his article Brawn and Beauty and a lot more.

February is not just a heart month. It is a hot, fiery and exciting month. I hope we grabbed your attention and take you into action in our aim for excellence.

MR. INTERNATIONAL 2011, CESAR CURTI

BRAWN AND BEAUTY
By David Natanawan

In the past two issues of this magazine we have featured women and pageants related to women. This time we will feature a male personality. What a better way to start our Valentine’s issue as we feature the new Mr. International 2011 Cesar Augusto Curti from Brazil.

If Cupid has grown up into a mature man, he can be trapped into the body of Cesar Curti. And this would definitely not only give a woman the desire to love Cupid who has grown up into a man that is Cesar Curti. Cesar was born on March 19th, 1987 in Ribeirao, Preto, Brazil. Since childhood he has always showed a natural talent in the acting, musical and sports arena. With his skills he excelled in school in acting and writing for theater. He had also made an indelible mark in the field of music both in voice and guitar. He has also excelled in different kinds of sports most especially in the martial arts. He has encompassed a holistic approach to life indeed.

Aside from venturing into music and acting, Cesar is a model who travels the world in search of new achievements in the publicity and advertising industries. He has participated in many publicity campaigns for important brands such as: Nokia, Nivea, Gudang Garam, Nestle and Head and Shoulders. He has also participated in fashion shows for well known brands such as: Giorgio Armani, Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gautier, Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton and more. His versatility allows him to excel in both commercial and authentic fashion.

Cesar who has a Japanese blood (her mom is Japanese) making him one of those successful Brazilian/Japanese who has ventured into modeling, acting and music. His strongest attributes are discipline and willpower, which enable him to be unique and a determined professional. As if venturing into these fields is not enough, he joined the Mr. Brasil 2011 pageant and ended up second runner-up to eventual winner Lucas Malvacini. Being a second runner-up, he was sent to represent Brazil at Mr. International pageant last December 2011 held in Bangkok, Thailand. He was one of the favorites aside from Mr. Czech Republic, Sweden, Denmark, Indonesia and Mexico. And eventually, Cesar won the coveted Mr. International 2011 title making him the second Brazilian after Alan Martini who won in 2007.

With this success from different fields, Cesar has remained to be humble and his feet always planted on the ground. Being the first male personality to be featured in this magazine it is but proper as he has been the epitome of true success and living his dreams to become a musician, actor, model and international pageant king. Making him not only brawn but has beauty in his heart.
