from Sunstar newspaper Ruffa Gutierrez's birthday bash

ACTRESS and TV host Ruffa Gutierrez invited a handful of her closest friends to a weekend of fun partying, dining and shopping in Singapore.

But those who missed the fun had another chance to celebrate with the actress as Tim Yap threw her a Prom Night themed birthday party at Sofitel hotel’s Fever, the newest bar lounge in the French hotel.

Fever was decorated in pink and white balloons by creative Trish Panlilio who runs Papillo Trish, specializing in bespoke and quirky stationeries and balloon arrangements.

The cake

French hors d’ouvres was passed around and champagne was free flowing! Ruffa gave away Prom Queen honors to her friend and actress Sunshine Cruz-Montano, wife of Cesar Montano as she grooved in a ruffled tiered dress that screamed 80s!

Anne Curtis with boyfriend Erwann Heusaff won as the Prom couple as they dressed up to the 80s in lace, sort of like Madonna meets Prince.

Aga Muhlach wowed the crowd as he took the center of the dance floor and danced to the tunes of Just Got Lucky, Buttercup – two of the most popular songs when Bagets was the most popular movie at that time. Aga has always been an 80s icon in the local scene.

So imagine Ruffa’s friends shrieking in delight, but not like fans, more of like a really awesome reminder when life was simpler and more fun in the 80s, where all the songs had lyrics you can sing to, dance moves that really look like you are dancing. But forget about 80s fashion, and the big hair craze. Maybe those are the forgettable aspects, but when you do an 80s party, the big hair sprayed hair, fish net leggings, neon colors and color blocking come to play.

Everyone was just game as the night went on till the wee hours of the morning as Wander Woman was one of the few remaining guests who left with Ruffa, Miriam Quiambao, and their Brazilian friends. Happy Birthday Ruffa and may next year’s party be a blast!
