Lang Leav is in Manila again to meet her fans and to promote her new book “Love Looks Pretty On You.”
Pia Wurtzbach transformed from an idolized beauty icon to a dreamy fangirl upon meeting critically-acclaimed author Lang Leav during the latter’s book signing event in Manila on Sunday.
I had not been in a bookstore in a long time, but after a delicious Sunday lunch of xiaolongbao, my daughter and I walked into National. She needed pens and I figured I’d look for Lang Leav.
We walked into Raffles Makati’s Writers Bar to find Lang Leav seated at a quiet little corner table, huddling with a girl in a red beanie. Spotting us, they said their goodbyes.
Google Lang Leav and what you’ll see are pages and pages of poetry—some from her book “Love & Misadventure,” some from her Tumblr page—shared and reposted by fans from all over the world. Her childlike, whimsical, sometimes-triumphant-sometimes-melancholic voice has resonated with a lot of readers. “Thank you for managing to write the feelings we can never put into words,” one fan wrote on Twitter. It’s a sentiment echoed by many.
The latest in global fashion, beauty, and culture through a contemporary Filipino perspective.
