There
is no one in the Philippines who denies the continuing success of Asia's
phenomenal star Vice Ganda throughout his career in the local entertainment
industry. Now he has added another feather to his cap of unprecedented achievements
- a world record - and it happened at the night of September 8, 2018 inside the
Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Thousands
of people have flocked and gathered at the Big Dome for the Ganda For All Music
Festival which happens to be the Vice's own unique way of thanking Filipinos
for supporting and patronizing its Vice Cosmetics line since its inception last
year. And they literally enjoyed the delightful affair as the music fest was
graced by an overwhelming number of the best and finest names in the local
music scene including Yeng Constantino, Darren Espanto, Moira Dela Torre, and
so much more but there is more to it than just a simple anniversary concert.
Headlining
the Ganda For All Music Festival was an attempt to break a Guinness World
Record for most number of people who are simultaneously putting up their
lipsticks in one minute, and the crowd were much obliged to take part in this
attempt considering that their ticket to the music fest is a set of Vice
Cosmetics lipsticks that they have purchased using their hard-earned cash. Fortunately,
the attempt was successful as officially confirmed and granted by a Guinness
World Record representative who witnessed it. With an audience of about 6,900
who took part, Vice Cosmetics has officially beaten the record which was previously
held by Mary Kay Cosmetics and took place in China where more than 5,700 have
attempted.
The
momentous occasion and the highly-successful world record attempt have became
top trending topics on social media, more particularly on Twitter, and were
covered by several local news sources. Knowing that the Philippines has been
one of the most active countries in the world when it comes to attempts of
breaking world records regardless of their nature, it was indeed worth remembering
and an overwhelming satisfaction for not only Vice Ganda but also for Vice
Cosmetics and its first year anniversary. With that in mind, I guess we should
be looking forward to what would be in store for us from Vice Cosmetics in the
near future.
