THE CARNIVAL ENDS.


It's been a long journey from the day I picked up my first Manila Carnival photo--in Bangkok,Thailand, of all places, to starting this blog--and which culminated in the publication of a pictorial history book of titled Pampanga beauties. I hope, dear readers, that you have been entertained and informed through my postings. But alas, even good things have to end. Thank you to all my blog visitors and friends whom I've met along the way, including descendants of beauty queens featured here, fellow collectors, historians and beauty fans.

My Manila Carnival writing will live on, not just in this blog, but also in my book--"ARO, KATIMYAS DA! A Memory Album of Kapampangan beauties 1908-2012", a finalist in this year's National Book Awards, Leisure Category. It is available at the Holy Angel University, Angeles University (0458888691, ask for Center for Kapampangan Studies), or you can course your book orders through me . 

Again, salamat po, it's been 6 wonderful, beautiful years!

    This is a truly fascinating topic. Lots of online college courses are open.

    I'd like to inquire about the Columbia record labels displayed in the January 8, 2012 newsletter. The Columbia Phonograph Company was active in South America and SE Asia from 1902 through 1914, and I've never seen an example from Columbia's Manila series before. If your interests extend to historic sound recordings, I have information on others from the 1920s and 1930s. Thanks and best wishes.
