About the author

Claire Jariss Manlapas is a freelance stylist and makeup artist from Manila, Philippines, born on 11th of March 1991. She currently taking up Multimedia Arts in wikipedia: De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde. Give her nail polish, brow fixers and a venti hot white chocolate mocha and she's good to go. Throw in red lipstick, crazy shoes and an oversized bag and she's all set. She eats fashion for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner.

Character Sketch

• People call her J because they can’t pronounce Jariss properly. Not that you asked but it’s Ja-rees, stress on the last syllable. She’s taking up Multimedia Arts, a course for people who aren’t sure about what they want to do in the art world. Or maybe it’s just her.
• Contrary to her major, she is very much into fashion and writing which is a daily slap on the face because aside from going to a school that offers Fashion Design, she has many friends from that course. But so far, she’s dealing with things just fine.
• She’s a heavy hot coffee drinker. She gets upset if you get her a tall drink which almost never happens because she doesn’t let anyone pay for her Starbucks fix. (Maybe she will, if you ask real nicely and promise that you won’t go home poor.)
• She came up with eccentricleartiste when she was in 6th grade. She saw the word “le artiste” (male artist in French) in a magazine, cut it, pasted it on the side of her cabinet, and she sees it all the time. She’s eccentric. Although “‘la artiste” (female artist in French) would have been more appropriate, eccentricleartiste sounded better.
• When I made my Tumblr in June 2009, I came up with “Fashion Firewoman” in a snap— I didn’t think about it much because I can change it anytime anyway. My blog description was “Putting out the root of fire”, fire being fashion faux pas and epic failures.
• She’s fond of writing in 3rd person. She’s not really sure why.
