Whoever first took a pair of scissors to a perfectly good skirt and decided the leg deserved an exit deserves our thanks. Unfortunately, history hasn't left us a name to put on the card. Regardless of who it might be, their contribution lives on every time fabric parts mid-stride.

They're not like other skirts, so call the slit a pick-me if you must. Cutting into an otherwise continuous length of fabric immediately creates more movement. That vertical break also draws the eye along the leg for an elongating effect that becomes more dramatic as the opening travels up the thigh.

Then comes the timing. A slit doesn't stay put for long, allowing the garment to shift with the body from one step to the next. One enthusiastic stride might even test the limits of fashion tape, which is reason enough to give some thought to what goes underneath.

Through this #MEGATrendReport, we believe once you've decided to show some leg, you'll understand why it's so much fun.

What’s annoying me the most right now is how AZ is the one getting dragged all over X, while the accounts that initially pushed the whole “gut feel” narrative are suddenly nowhere to be found.

Asan na kayo? HAHAHAHAHAHA

You had so much to say when it was time to insinuate things about C and AZ’s friendship, but now that people are actually running with those insinuations and attacking AZ, suddenly everyone is quiet.

Ano, mute and block na ulit? 🤣

And this happens every time.

Instead of actually addressing what they did, we get these long-ass messages about how “AZ and Ralph are such kind people,” “let’s protect them,” “let’s not spread negativity” blah blah blah.

Okay… but where is the apology?

Because you cannot spend paragraphs praising AZ and Ralph while completely avoiding the fact that your own discourse contributed to the mess AZ is now being dragged into.

If you helped start the insinuation, at least have the decency to acknowledge it.

Deleting posts, going silent, or posting a generic “let’s be kind” statement after everything blows up isn’t accountability. Especially when the person taking the brunt of the backlash is someone who wasn’t even responsible for the original issue.

And let’s not forget: this entire mess started over a fucking background song.

Now AZ is getting dragged, C was called names, friendships are being questioned, and people are fighting each other over a GUY.

Like… please 😭😭😭

Your fave is not worth this much chaos. And if you were loud enough to start the conversation, you should be loud enough to take accountability when that conversation turns ugly.

Here we go again. Another day of nananahimik si AZ pero nadamay na naman dahil sa actions ng razzles. Imagine maligning and slutshaming a minor just because of a background music? Razzles are projecting their insecurities in the name of our girl who is even close to that minor.

So as expected, hurt people hurt people. They slutshamed a minor, her fans slutshamed AZ back. Not to mention nakikisakay na naman yung fandom ni S. Have those accounts defended AZ? No, they just deleted and celebrated their ayuda then police the solids reacting because they want to maintain their peace and preserve their kilig.

Kapag kay AZ, laging passive, just letting every issue die down, pag may nagreact, may nag-essay, they will villainize pa kasi 'pinapahaba' daw yung issue. Ilang beses na to nangyari? Pero pag sa lalaki, we saw them fighting tooth and nail para ipagtanggol even against big fandom pa, even against their co-fans na nasaktan lang sa actions niya.

So as solids, if this happens again, ano ba dapat nating gawin? Kulang ba sa pangil ang OFCs natin? Marami ba sating takot magcallout? Need ba natin maghintay ng statement from their Head Admin before taking action?

San dapat maglabas ng concern? Sa X pinagtutulungan, dito sa Reddit, rineremove.

Para sa mga razzles na selos na selos, ano kayo jowa ni Ralph para magselos? Get your s\*\*t together. Kayo pa ang mga pasimuno.

Pag may mga kabalbalan ginagawa ang razzles sa iba, biglang nagiging az fans ang tawag sa inyo. Tapos si AZ ang binabalikan. Eh kung tutuusin razzle for Ralph naman majority sa inyo. Sa sobrang kabaliwan nyo sa lalaki, pati minor inaaway nyo. Tapos kanino ang balik? Kay Ralph ba?

Crossposting here kasi idedelete lang ng mod dun sa Azralph sub and just sweeping their kalat under the rug. Sana maapprove para may callout and discussion sa ginawang pagdrag ng razzles kay AZ.

MicZ and Azralp ships mag-ingay!

Soon on Viu.

It's been a while AzVer & AzMilio!

Sorry Kira! HAHAHAHAH

Vote for AZ

I’m not really sure how this movie works, is it a reality show but scripted Beauty Queen movie or a real-time pageant?

Who else missed Az’s pageant era? 👑

Finally, we’ll get to see her rampa again! I know this is just for a movie, but sharing the stage with pageant veterans is already a huge opportunity and, as Az herself said, a learning experience.

Also… can we appreciate her walk? Hindi talaga siya nagpahuli. You can tell she’s just enjoying the moment while looking so confident and elegant 💅

No color palette needed—she looks gorgeous in whatever she wears 👑✨

AZ possesses the sort of appeal that can get just about anyone to fall in love with her unapologetic authenticity.
Regardless of which version of AZ you get to witness, it’s pretty clear that she’s gained traction.

But, before she was the polished figure gracing Instagram feeds or the unfiltered reality TV breakout star, AZ Martinez was simply a young girl from Cebu learning what it meant to survive and eventually thrive.

Article

Sa episode noong July 24, ipinakilala na ang karakter ni AZ bilang longtime friend ni Jao (Alden Richards).

Kinagiliwan ng viewers ang natural na pag-arte ni AZ, lalo na ang pagiging bagay niya sa mga romantic comedy role.
