Behind the festive occasion of Dayanara Mesmeize on the 19th of October this year was a hard work and perseverance. Her incomparable hands-on attitude transformed a conventional area at the Millennium Point in Birmingham into a floridly grandiose venue.
Her endeavour has given myself the opportunity to attend and witness- together with her invited guests, friends and family- her ultimate 50th birthday celebration. That is why, creating and producing this video especially for her was worthy of my effort, time and trouble.

In the 1920's, women dressed-up according to the type of events and the time of the day. The most significant of all the dresses was the naturally drop waist slip-on dresses worn by the Gangster and Flapper Girls, with hem lengths never going above-the-knee. It was either smartened-up with bright or neutral fabric materials and always accentuated in glittery sequins and/or jive frills. Famously in those days, loose dresses exemplified a sophisticated beauty and femininity despite its unconstrained designs when worn.
Gentlemen and ladies alike, may I present to you the impersonation of the Roaring 20's style on Miss Dayanara Mesmeize's birthday party. It was the grandiose thankful celebration of her 48th years of existence on Earth with the theme that took us back to the era of consumerism and modern life. Without further ado, her invited and confirmed guests glamorised the venue at Bournbrook And Selly Oak Social Club with THE GREAT GASTBY side-splitting features.
As the evening approached the guests were walking graciously on the quarter-turn stair of the building, only to be stopped by the Lady in fuchsia pink dress. She asked them to stand in front of the ameliorated notice board printed on canvas for a souvenir photo shoot. After that, a fresh door awaited them leading to the main venue where they could hear the clinking of champagne glasses from the bar on the right and the tête-à-tête of the guests. Their eyes were illuminated by the Christmassy lights; beautiful palm trees and interlaced festive yellow cloths. Such was the spruceness which fully surrounded the 10 laid out big round tables covered in white cloths and encircled by wrapped chairs for her designated guests.

There were group pictures with the celebrant, taken by the Lady in fuchsia pink dress, in the lower main floor of the venue. Most of the guests many costume impersonations were statuesquely stunning and dazzling. Everyone was impressed when they looked at someone and in particular, each round table had classy stars who with dignity depicted and carried out the Gatsby Woman's characteristics. It was only interrupted when her agreeably graceful hostess, Miss Alexandra Marie Diaz, asked the guests to cease what they were doing in order to watch a welcome slideshow created by Miss Tiffany Jones. It was a sequence of digitally compiled memorable images of the celebrant which featured her golden charisma as Miss Dayanara Mesmeize and the pureness of her core self as the essential Neil Sumalangcay.

All of the guests were in the wonderment paradise and more so, when Dayanara appeared on stage in her glamorous deep plunge halterneck gold evening gown with a gradient faux fur stole. She didn't just impress us with her beautiful Gatsby presence as she also serenaded us with the tune, “When We Were Young”. After her vocal performance and compassionate speech, a dear friend of hers (Teofilo Fernandez, Jr.) initiated and sang gaily the traditional “Happy Birthday To You” song.
The celebrant was in rhapsodic state after the crowd's joint voices and applause. Her presence was then called off the stage and she headed off (in high heels) to the center of the room. Where a pair of arranged cakes awaited for her utmost whisper, “Make A Wish”, and the blowing out of 2 types of candles. I have to say that the phallus like candle made her react ecstatically and not just the impish ladies. Am I right my dear women of the crowd especially the present October celebrants?

The celebrant's heart brimming in self-effacing and unselfish demeanour wasn't just all about holding her own grandiose party. It has always been an occasion with a purpose in which she worked hard to gather in one place the special people, with the same virtues and different idiosyncrasies, she encountered in life. Benevolently speaking, her birthday party's main purpose for 9 years to date has been a blessing to the Asilo De Molo Home For The Aged and to her indigent neighbourhood in Iloilo, Philippines.
It was almost 21:00 when our tummies were calling and rumbling for the appetising buffet style feast. The scrumptious food choices were prepared and served warmly by the family of Benedict Yap Torres' VIP Catering that certainly replenished the spirit and vigour of the guests.

The night's excitement of the Great Gatsby birthday celebration was resumed by a few intermission numbers on and off the stage...
The spotless and playful lip sync panoplies of the drag queen, Ebony B Krugger, bestirred us all. She performed on stage with superb lip portrayal of the posthumous greatest hits album, “I Will Always Love You: The Best of Whitney Houston”, by the late American recording artist, Whitney Houston. Wait a minute, there was also a sudden twist when she opened her cape and started frisking off stage in the tune of “Queen of the Night”. I thought that would be the concluding part of her performance but it was only the starter. In addition to this, there was a submissive scene in which she “smashed” playfully one of the Q.E. Doctors.
There was the harmonising singing performance of the duo sisters, Millicent Jane Erika and Julia Rogers, who sang in their own smoky singsong voices. The boobtube mermaid cut gown of Millicent Jane Erika made her regal that night and while Julia Roberts' glittery sequinned dress defined her sexiness. The sisters' dresses were coordinated in gold colours and their silky locks scintillated the crowd.
We were also grooved by the presence of the Lady Wednesbury, Baga Chipz Mbe, during her honeyed and silvery singing performances on stage. She moved our feet and body to music boomingly and most of us dauntlessly showed-off on the dance floor the frill movements of our dresses.

The grandiose physical transformation of Miss Dayanara Mesmeize for 3 years to date were metamorphosed gorgeously under the hands of her chic make-up artist, Miss KC Cueto, and seductive hairstylist, Miss Yurie Mylyn Sy. The ostentatious alteration of the venue with the sound/light system effects was assisted wholeheartedly by her loving partner, Mark, with the unreserved cooperation from DJ Arnold Magno, Mr. Efren Abrina and Mrs. Lyn Abrina. More importantly, the impish cake which made Dayanara smile zestfuly on her 48th birthday party last Saturday was baked by a chef, Roni Smith.

The evening of the Great Gatsby was colourfully festive when the selected guests for The Best Great Gatsby Dress were all called up to gather on stage. These were the women who strongly portrayed the trimmed features of the 1920's Gangster and Flapper Girls' outfits. However, there was only one who stood out from the rest and The Best Great Gatsby Dress recipient who received a cash prize of £100.00 was The Lady in Champagne Pink Feather Fascinator...

That was a tough crux unanimously voted by the judges. Per contra, the evening was toughened more when the erotically gratifying beefcake stripper, Fabio, thrilled most women with his raunchy movements. How would we ever forget him on and off the stage when he thrust erotically in particular with his “johnson”; that gave us a water-logged response. The meaty turbulence from Fabio consummated when he splashed a creamy aqueous solution into the obstreperous crowd. Excuse my profanity!
The ultimate segment of the party was enlivened more by a list of 1920's Great Gatsby dance music. All I could say is, no one seemed dead on their feet as the jovial guests who were on the centre of the floor had been dancing vigorously until the wee hours of the next morning.
Modestly speaking, when you have been humble, pleasant and genuine to people you must believe strongly in yourself that you will reap what you sow at the end of the day. Comparatively speaking, this is how Miss Dayanara Mesmeize has been living her life to the fullest and ever since she went through a successful triple heart bypass.
I am sure that all of those present had a wonderful time and owe a debt of gratitude to the warm-hearted Miss Dayanara Mesmeize.
She has been thinking as to what will be her next and hopefully, the last pretty penny bag to acquire. She knew there were a few distinctive fashion brand names clouded in her senses but she was realistic enough to know how exorbitant they would be. The highly excessive list prices were indeed outside her authority and could lead her to an overdraft.
Her quixotic wish list deterred and the murkiness in her mind became sensibly clear. Whitherly, it prospected to two middle-of-the-road and prudent choices...
The first preference of hers was, the Yves Saint Laurent's Classic Large College Bag in Dark Red Matellasse Leather. A classic monogram bag which has an interlocking YSL signature buckle closure; top handle metal chain and a leather removable shoulder strap. In truth, she watched a few free videos of this bag on the web in which it was even compared to a very known luxury timeless jumbo handbag. Her attention was transfixed and more so, when the suggested retail price for YSL Bag was less than half of the jumbo handbag price. Plainly, it wasn't the price that made it attractive for her as the commodious space was mostly the substantial wow element.
The second next in order was one of the three (now five) structured sizes iconic luggage tote by the industry heavyweight, Phoebe Philo, when he revitalised Céline in 2010. A company for fashion luxury goods that was acquired for 2.6 billion by a French multinational luxury European company, better know as LVMH (LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE), back in 1996. So much about the volte-face quick facts and more so about her second cup of tea. It's the smallest amongst sizes with an incredibly soft goat leather material named Céline Nano Luggage Tote in Vermilion.
The Céline Nano became her hand-picked choice despite the fact that YSL Classic Large College Bag was in the same price range, too. While she was passionately thinking, the image of her very own Mulberry Medium Lily Scarlet came to mind from time to time. Its because, in her opinion, the dimensions and most of the essential features of Mulberry and YSL weren't end of rainbow different.
She chose the smallest Céline Luggage Tote which has a very rare bicolour combinations...
The leather dual-rolled carry handles are incrust in a chocolate brown shade and the colour continues as embellishment for the bag's entire calfskin trimming. This practical- sized bag has been designed with the perpetual exterior front zipped pocket and a useful leather sunglasses tab at the back. Sadly, the outer front zipped pocket can only accommodate calling cards for clandestine admirers because of its peewee dimensions. What a saucy ink-and-paper “acquaintance card” doodad!
What she appreciates more about Céline Nano is the optional removable vermilion shoulder strap with gold metal trigger swivel hooks. The free will of wearing it as cross body by attaching the gold metal hooks onto the fastened gold D ring connection buckles (both winged sides of the bag) is undeniably framed it to be more than just a hand carry bag!
Unlike her Céline Mini Luggage Tote, Nano has no four protective studs at the bottom; no leather tab and no press button on the left winged side of the bag for the top tape zipper extension. The top zipper closure secures all her essentials when away on a lovely day or a night out affair. Moreover, it opens to an ample interior of chocolate brown lambskin lining with durable panel leather bottom which holds the shape of the bag and a suited flat pocket perfect either for credit/debit cards, cellphone or oyster card.
After purchasing Céline's smallest iconic luggage tote, she thought it would dissatisfy her. Nonetheless, it was just her qualm which was obliterated when she paired it to her Céline Multicolour Luggage Calfskin Leather Tote Mini. It was exactly the miniature version with a sigh in her mind, “Wish it has incrust with the same sensational colour combinations!”.
The Celine's Nano Luggage Tote in Vermilion and Chocolate Brown Dual-Rolled Carry Handles with Gold Heat Stamped Logo was Miss Victoria David's realistic 33rd post-birthday present for herself!
