i had a quick recall of all Lucy's memories in Showbiz when i read her article on Phil Star.
i am not a fan of that broadsheet. it was a Sunday, if not the exact Sunday of the father's day. i used to chance upon Lucy's column before but it was about make-up or something, so it struck me when i see her column as "Where is God when it hurts this much?" (about the death of Douglas Quijano).
i was not a fan of Lucy all along. it was just neutral for me seeing that lethargic her in "Richard Loves Lucy" or in "All about you" (GMA-7). there were times in the past that she had a bad hairstylist for not concealing her forehead. there was even a golden moment in Television seeing her singing Mr. Dreamboy in SOP.
now, more than ever. i am fan - a huge fan.
"the sweet life" (the late afternoon/early evening talk show in QTV11) best personifies the true (as we see it) Lucy Torres Gomez. Funny, intellectual-but-very-down-to-earth and as an haciendera are the qualities that viewers can't help but admire on her.
these are the same attributes why people patronize her in "Shall we dance?" (makipagsabayan ba kay Arnel Ignacio na magpatawa?)
My admiration of her could go on and on for lengthy page of this blog. but there's no need for that. you just have to find out for yourself in her two shows and her column.
She's now more than the wife of Richard Gomez, from their Hacienda to our homes - it doesnt matter if her twin sister is named Wilma - she has truly arrived!
and for this month, she's our featured celebrity. truly, an upgrade!
