A MaiChard AU fic that was originally published as a Twitter-series about stylist, Dei Mendoza & photographer Jay Faulkerson. This story will be rewritten to include narratives.
"I love the cohesiveness of your outfit choices for the models, Dei. Very editorial hipster, if there is such a thing."
"Hahaha well if anyone can make it a thing, it's you, Z. And thanks again for choosing me for this shoot."
"I'd be stupid not to. Like I said, I like your aesthetic. Kaya I really need to thank Faulkerson for sending me your folio."
"Me too. I've done quite a few print and TVC shoots already pero mostly for endorsement campaigns. I don't have a lot of magazine gigs under my belt yet."
"Well... I think it's safe to say that you're going to be getting more offers for print media soon enough. I hope you're ready."
"I am."
"Good because we're planning a back to back to back destination feature campaign and I want you to style all of them."
"All of them?"
"Darling Dei, I didn't stutter did I? Yes, all of them. Your aesthetic is just the kind of thing that will inject a fresh new spin to our magazine's overall style. I'll email you the particulars once we get back to Manila. Are you in?"
"I have a few upcoming styling commitments I can't and don't really want to back out of but if they're not going to clash with your campaign then yes I'm in. All the way in."
"Perfect."

"Yung driver ng lolo ko. Bakit? Type mo siya?"
"BF DAW NI DEI! Ano bang driver!?"
"Aba eh malay ko. Bakit, pinagpalit ka na ba? Wawang bata iniwan ng jowa."
"I'm serious."

"Wala. Wala akong kakilalang Buencamino."
"Si Bernice kaya, malamang kilala niya yun."
"Aba eh di si Bernbern ko ang tanungin mo."
"Iyo talaga?"
"Wag mong problemahin yung eme ko, yang Buencamino mo ang problemahin mo. Sino ba yun?"
"SAYO NGA AKO NAGTATANONG O!"
