Speaking of parents—you have Filipino features but your accent registers foreign, are your parents Pinoys?
My Filipina features come from my mom. My father is more on the mestizo side. The accent comes from the fact that I was born in the States, Seattle Washington to be exact, and raised in Los Angeles. I’ve lived in the States all life, but spent two and a half years here in the Philippines. I absolutely loved every minute of it!
We hear some of the clothes you designed were also used in the shoot.
Yes, I am also a bikini designer. We have a line called LolliMe bikinis (www.lollime.com) which I own and run with my brother Vince.
