Celebutante (that portmanteau word coined by Walter Winchell for young Brenda Frazier in 1939) may be too pejorative a label for someone who runs a fashion design empire with 17 product lines under her own brand. Her itinerary is not limited to promoting Paris Hilton handbags and accessories.
She is meeting the creative and design team of Century Properties, developers of Azure Urban Resort Residences. The central amenity of Azure is a Beach Club which Paris has been asked to design.
“We chose Paris Hilton because of her exposure to travel and her predisposition to many aspects of design—from fashion, beauty, lifestyle to world-class service,” says Robie Antonio, Managing Director of Century Prperties. “Deciding to work with her was the logical choice as we found no other personality more suited to embody the upscale fashionable beach-goer.”
On the lighter side, Paris is a friend of Manny Pacquiao who was refused membership at the Manila Polo Club, despite having acquired a well-appointed mansion worth P388 million at the Forbes Park. Paris reportedly had a 6-course dinner hosted by the Pacquioas at a Makati hotel where the couple "introduced me to all their lovely friends." Is it true that club membership is off limits to the noveau riche?
On her blog, Paris wrote "We all had so much fun talking and laughing . The people in the Philippines are so warm, welcoming, genuine and sweet. The Pacquiao's are such a beautiful and amazing couple! Manny is such an incredible boxer and great friend."
Paris herself is a maverick who lives her own life. Prince Harry reportedly ignored Paris Hilton when the two ended up at the same London club. Manila’s elite may likewise be snooty, but Paris is a pedigree: grand-daughter of Conrad Hilton, founder of the Hilton Hotels Chain. Oh well, the rich and the famous…
