FASHION PULIS: Heart over career

Published Apr 22, 2023 02:24 am
Love or career? That question is often faced by celebrities who suddenly find themselves between two important aspects of their lives. While talents would defend choosing work, others would willingly forego their achievements to keep their significant others. When Charming Celebrity (CC) scored well in a hit project, her fans were not surprised as CC is known to give her best to her craft. CC’s prowess as an actress was again tested and she passed every scene with flying colors. The bonus is that another project was planned with Attractive Boy (AB). The producers wanted to please fans by pairing CC and AB. Initially, no problems were encountered. That situation was too good to be true. As CC and AB were becoming a strong pair, she found herself in a dilemma. CC and AB were supposed to start a project overseas. The filming meant CC would be far away from Her Lover (HL). Allegedly, CC and HL were already having discussions concerning AB in private even if publicly, HL was the ever-supportive partner. CC aired her concerns with her handlers. HL was worried that CC’s spending time with AB might jeopardize their relationship. They listened to her. Meanwhile, CC is spending time on her own projects. She and AB still have projects and endorsements lined up. Given HL’s alleged feelings, CC seemed inclined to choose her heart and let go of what could have been, career-wise, with AB. ‘The more you love,the more love you have to give.It's the only feeling we have which is infinite...’ ― Christina Westove

That awkward moment

During a private gathering of friends of a certain celebrity, non-showbiz guests mingled with showbiz personalities. Even if the non-showbiz people were calm, a few were star-struck. Pleasantries were exchanged, as they all had something in common, that is, the reason why they were invited. One of the guests was Dashing Celebrity (DC). Tall and handsome, DC was hard to miss. He is known to be lively as well. After meeting some guests, DC suddenly fell silent. Then, the awkward moment materialized. DC was not alone at the gathering, much more, when he approached the said table to mingle. His Attractive Wife (AW) was right next to him. In a snap, AW had to introduce herself to the people at the table to break the awkward silence. The guests realized why AW had to introduce herself personally, which they felt should have been done by DC. Apparently, DC had set his eyes on a Good-looking Woman (GW) who was seated at their table. DC seemed to be assessing GW quickly and intently. Such subtle action of DC was noticed by the guests. Perhaps, they were aware of the reputation DC has when it comes to women. Meanwhile, AW knew she had to save her face rather than be neglected and treated such while in front of strangers. ‘I like awkward moments. They are full of tension and suspense. Anything's possible or, at the very least, they are the source of some electric sizzle.’ ― Donna Lynn Hope Follow @FashionPulis on Twitter and @fashionpulis on Instagram.
