shops in the Philippines—a “miracle” more fondly known as
Papemelroti.

Women achievers all need to stay on top—of fashion, that is. With
the Spring Summer fashion forecasts all pointing to the mini
direction, females can’t ignore the call of mini skirts and shorts
that adorn every shop window. With the all-mini hype growing
