ReplyDeleteSir Ernee, don't you have a copy of Mod Magazine's March 24, 2000 issue (which also happens to coincide with my birthday)?
ReplyDeleteWala yata. Nakita ko yung March 17, 2000 issue (Shaira Luna cover), but I couldn't find the following issue. Who's on the cover?
DeleteUnfortunately, I forgot who's the covergirl of Mod's March 24 issue because the copy which I used to have before has already been in the dump since 2012.
DeleteADDENDUM: But as far as I remember, one of the features of that issue was a female child talent who once modeled a kids' clothing line. That feature was a part of Mod's kiddie section (I forgot the name).
DeleteSir Ernee, about that female child model who once modeled Barbie (as featured in the Mod March 24, 2000 issue, the one I'm looking for), as far as I recall, her last name is "Villareal."
