I need a filipino Morticia Adams remake featuring this dress. OMG can you imagine??

A photograph circa 1930s in postcard format from the collection of Maria Lopez Ramirez shows an unidentified Filipina wearing a Terno “that illustrated the influence of surrealism, with giant spiderwebs emblazoned on the sleeve, pañuelo, and skirt, accented with spiders at the center.”

knocking on your door! hi hi ^_^ i'd love to hear more about cubao expo and google maps..!!

feeling down lately, so here's my answer for ya :)

Cubao Expo doesn't have a design yet but i've heavily molded her after Lesley to be honest. In historical context, Cubao Expo used to be a strip mall for shoes imported from the Philippine shoe capital Marikina hence the old name Marikina Shoe Expo. However, after the economic crash of 1980-90 post Martial Law, the shoe stores began disappearing due to the lack of sales. In the early 2000s though, artists rented the spaces for their residencies and soon after, vintage, antique, comic, and small businesses started renting in and creating this kitchy, indie-punk community in the heart of the universe.

I imagine she's a businesswoman who loves art and shoes. She's upper-middle class and loves collecting records, cds, art, toys, jewelry, etc. She has an extensive collection of all sorts of things which inspires her to make art. Cubao Expo is an older woman who is part of the punk subculture and is against the rapid gentrification of Barangay Socorro (which is the real name of Cubao). She fights to keep this niche little corner of the barangay accessible and affordable to creatives.

Although open, she is a curator, and sometimes has to low-ball and give in to popular trends despite disdaining them. She's fond of her customers, especially this beginner zine artist who wants to impress her <3 She knows she likes her, and holds out because she loves the attention, but she eventually reciprocates by sharing back that love she gives <3

I imagine she wears black and gold, with beautiful dangling earrings, splashes of color in some glass beads and gems, long lashes, pink lipstick, and white hair. She wears a unique pair of shoes each time she appears. CE loves Filipino and Italian food, Arches Of Loaf, Ace Of Base, Rumiko Takahashi manga, custom glass beads, collectable toys, and history. She's always hidden in a crowd of young people during rock nights, and people watching from the 2nd floor of a coffee shop.

She isn't too complex but she's just a very passionate patron of all arts and will fight to preserve a safe 3rd space for artists.

Ooh and for Google Maps, her nickname is Mip! I have posted a human design for her, and despite her looks, she's actually quite young! She just stayed up late a lot during college and her first job but she's full of life and love! She's a driving instructor by day, and occasionally works as a digital cartographer at night. She enjoys cooking, camping, trekking, and photography. She often finds herself soul searching and wandering the general area she's in to ground and amuse herself. Mip is a goofball honestly and she's not too serious but it is quite easy to tick her off...be careful!! Mip loves collecting rings, clips, and neckties. She's genderfluid and leans more towards androgyny.

I’m hardly ever on here anymore but I do have other social media places I’m a lot more active in.

You can find me on my analog Instagram where I post photos of my scans. I’m new to the whole process but it’s definitely a hobby I’m passionate about!
