This evening was the cotillion party for my friend Warren's sister-in-law, Jolimae... also known as Bing. Since Warren's birthday was last week, and his wife's birthday is also very close, it was decided to hold a 3-way birthday party at the ballroom of the Hotel Conchita.
Epril, older sister Susan, and all of Jen's other friends were there.
Obviously, lots of picture taking as the ladies were all looking fabulous in their evening wear.
Myself, Warren, and Dave standing around chatting and waiting for the party to start (marked by the arrival of the debutante).

Why are filipinas enthralled with red lipstick? every one of the girls appears to be wearing bright red lipstick....only color available there?
Well, first it isn't "every one" of the girls... but you're right that it is more than perhaps you would find with an American group of girls.
Second, more importantly, I think that Filipina girls wear darker lipstick on average because they have darker skin than white girls. You could say the same thing about lipstick choices with Africans or Indians.
Third, night-time makeup usually tends towards darker shades than daytime makeup, and makeup for formal occasions is more vibrant than those for casual occasions. That's true no matter what society or race.
Yeah, guess so. Another thing I noticed is some of the ladies like to show off their cleavage. Way too much in a few cases....
Hmm... aside from one possible exception, I don't see any immodest dresses in any of these photos. Nobody is on the verge of "overflowing" their bodices.
