Back To The 70's


Recommended Posts

Uhhh....if I'm not mistaken, they seemed to be everywhere at one point as long as they were paid for their shows. Yung maalala ko, they had a few regular gigs along South Superhighway. One at the top of the old Tradewinds Hotel (when Singapore Airlines was still a partner), and the other at a place called Cafferino's (or something like that). We also hired them to do a show for a client when I was at an ad agency.

 

hindi kaya Ceferino's? my guess. :D parang familiar kasi.

If I'm not mistaken, the other GP models who made it to the movies were Carmi Martin, Anna Marie Gutierrez and Liz Alindogan.

 

A friend of mine said that Carmi Martin grew up in the neighborhood he grew up in. Hindi raw nila gaano pinapansin iyang si Carmi noong early teens pa siya dahil although maputi raw, e dehin raw gaano maganda. They were all surprised to learn that she became one of the top GP models a few years later. Nag-sisi raw siya at iyong mga kabarkada niya! Hahaha :D

Cafferino's? Hindi ba sa Quezon City ito? I remember one time e nag-punta kami diyan ng mga ka-opisina ko (early 90s). Miyerkoles Santo pa no'n! Hahaha! :evil:

I'm not aware of one in Q.C. during the early 90's, so maybe you're right. I know that the Cafferino's I was referring to existed around the latter part of the 70's when Tradewinds was still new. Di sila tumagal diyan, that's all I can remember.

The other angel was Yehlen Catral mga tsong.

 

And so was Liz Alizdogan, who was later linked (or wife?) to stuntman Jess Lapid, Jr.

 

If i'm not mistaken, GP started off in '78 or '79 but the first time I was able to watch

the all-star group was in '81 at a hotel (i cant quite recall now) near Afro Disco in Malate

when I was asked by my boss to tag along with him naka coat and tie pa kami. :P

 

Some common slang or linggo of the 70s:

 

syota - gf

baduy/bakya - low class

plastic - wannabee

tipar - party

yosi - cigarette

bigat - cool

damo - marijuana

pula - red devil downers

kilay/ekis - madrax downers

mogs - mogadon downers

erbi - beer

toga - shoes

yoyo - watch ;)

we recently had a reunion sa UP campus, and it dawned on me that the students there right now hasn't even been born when I was still studying there.

Do you remember them:

 

1. T Agbayani

2. Chona Aristorenas (Castillo)

3. Jill (Pinky) Amador

4. Pia Moran

5. Maribeth Bichara

Sa mga 'tweeners like us in the 70's, our idol - ingenue "wish-i-was...or sana I looked-like" was CLOSE UP GIRL Tetet Limjap (now Crisol) na super wholesome. Sa mga colegialas, lahat wish maging Rustan's Fashion Board(???!! ba ýon?) ..at maging cover girl ng MOD Magazine...or Woman's Home Companion....COMPARE to current times na ang gusto ng mga tweeners e maging next Maui Taylor,...maging part the Viva Hot Babes...at ma-feature sa FHM.... :blink:

The models of RUSTAN's VIP and TRIUMPH'S COURT OF FASHION. They are all a class of their own! :thumbsupsmiley:
