MAKEUP: TATIN YANG FOR LANCOME

If we were to set a model behavior for, er, models, then it would be our February Girlfriend’s. Clariz not only posed openly for the camera, she came to the location ready with her autobiography in hand, printed from Microsoft Word in block type on a clean piece of bond paper—sealed in a short brown envelope at that. If we were her college professor, we’d surely have given her an A for effort alone. But then we’d be tremendously distracted if she went to class in this uniform…

Muse
Since I was 16, lagi akong nakukuhang muse ng Pangasinan. At 17, I became Mutya ng Dagupan City. I was also a Sangguniang Kabataan chairman in our barangay in 2005. I also love to sing and dance. You’ll often find me jamming with bands.

Getting physical
I finished physical therapy in University of Pangasinan. I went to Manila to look for work, hanggang sa nakapasok ako sa isang modeling agency. I got to do ramp for the 100 Sexiest party. It was my first time to go on stage na walang suot na damit, body paint lang.

Front and back
I’m naughty but in a cute way. I like wearing T-back, ha ha! I’m also caring, masarap magluto. I’m a good friend, trustworthy. Ayoko nang plastic na tao. When it comes to guys, gusto ko yung makulit, maginoo pero medyo bastos, mapagmahal.
