HNN BODY PAINTING COMPETITION JUNE 06

The 2009 Hari ng Negros Body Painting Competition is scheduled this Saturday, June 06 in Canlaon City. Interested photographers may contact 09225115008 or 0r 09152908603 for special accreditation. If you are interested to be a painter you may text Sonny Apayla at 09182236597.

Here is a repost of last year's body painting competition:

Bodypainting is not easy. The models have to stand motionless for hours while enduring ticklish feelings from the tip of a paintbrush filled with paint enamel that is gently sliding on all parts of their body. Then the feeling you are being mummified as the paint dries and starts cracking on the skin.

Being part of Hari ng Negros, this is what the candidates had to endure. To have their bodies used as canvass. To continue forgotten traditions that was once part of Negrense culture and for the artists to renew their need for self expression.

Proud to be a Negrense. Forever, Hari ng Negros.

A HARI NOMINATED FOR WORLD'S SEXIEST VEGETARIAN

Ever since he won the Sword of Negros in 2006, Hari ng Negros Mark Xander Fabillar, has been in constant campaign to go vegan and promote the rights of animals. Just recently Mark was nominated by no other than the PEOPLE FOR THE ETHICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS (PETA) as one of the WORLD'S SEXIEST VEGETARIANS.








Joining Mark for the nominations include celebrities like Alec Baldwin, Bryan Adams, Kevin Bacon, Prince, Rupert Everett, Sir Paul McCartney, Alanis Morisette, Alicia Silverstone, Alyssa Milano, Carrie Underwood, Ellen DeGeneres, Hayden Panettiere, Kelly Clarkson, Kim Basinger, Natalie Portman, Vanessa Williams and many others.






PETA's slogan is "animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment." The organization focuses on four core issues: factory farming, fur farming, animal testing, and animals in entertainment. It also campaigns against fishing, the killing of animals regarded as pests, the keeping of chained backyard dogs, cock fighting, and bullfighting. It aims to inform the public of its position through advertisements, undercover investigations, animal rescue, and lobbying.




Let's support Mark in his crusade. Vote for him at http://www.petaasiapacific.com/FeatureSexiestVegetarianCelebrity.asp

CHASING WATERFALLS

It has always been a tradition in Hari ng Negros to have the first set of pictorials done in many of Canlaon City's untouched waterfalls.

The journey to the waterfalls always begins at the foot of the volcano.

Hiking carefully through high cliffs and ravines.

Athleticism, endurance and agility are required.

But the sacrifice is truly worth it.

Especially after the tired body needs to be reinvigorated.

And fully recharged.
