One of the most crushing things about this weekend was the realization that when it comes to taking DSLR photos, I completely, utterly suck.

Just how bad?

The single decent shot I took came completely by accident, when I hit the shutter button while attempting to discreetly pick my nose, before I even got to aim. Irritating! The resultant shot looked like something chic and posh and very urban.. like the 2011 Spring/Summer catalog of Bunny Jeans, or quite possible the latest print spread by Freego in Women’s Home Companion magazine..

I did, however, manage to reassure myself that I possess a singularly awesome talent that remains unrivaled in at least 48 American states, and 83% of Northern Luzon precincts – I can weigh an ungodly 230-lbs, yet put on a horizontally-striped shirt and still look as sleek and svelte and agile as if I weighed just 218..

Yes. I truly am a Superstar..

All shots taken at Oh My Gulay, 5/F La Azotea Building, Session Road, Baguio City. All clothing and accessories, unless otherwise indicated, are models’ own, and are assuredly obscenely expensive.

 

Just for the record, the big white post is NOT a phallic symbol but a metaphor for frustration and unsatisfied desires.

 

People like to complain that MDJ Superstar suffers from a distinct lack of facial expressions when it comes to picture-taking.
I beg to differ. I actually have four different variants on the MDJ Superstar pout:
  1. The Blue Steel
  2. The Magnum
  3. La Tigra
  4. Ferrari
However, I will accept that the nuances behind each Zoolander-inspired pout are too subtle for the average mid-IQ viewer to appreciate.
This picture, taken with the greatest picture-posers in McCann history (Aya – famous for her sultry pout, and Francis – famous for his Lockjaw pose), is probably the last public appearance of the MDJ Superpout for some time.


In its place, I am debuting something new, something fresh, something groundbreaking.
It’s called “Fierce”, and manifests as such:


(Please note how Marfori and Berns are both nawi-wiwi with fear in both shots)
I think its awesome, and will undoubtedly be a tremendous success in helping MDJ Superstar land more hot single chicks in the near future.
Here’s one more picture that Celine snapped of me last Friday night at Piedra. To this point, I am not sure whether she wanted to capture either:
  1. My superfantastic Joe Cool shirt from Topman
  2. My MDJ Supercrotch
  3. My 18-pounds-larger-from-the-same-time-last-year tummy as it spills over the waistband of my jeans, thereby creating the amazing natural phenomenon known as the “Muffin Top,” so named for the striking visual similarity between a fat person’s upper body, and the way a muffin spills over its cup when properly baked.
