A teen ridiculed for Charles & Keith “luxury bag” gets the last laugh after the brand signed her up as their model.

But that’s not all. She has also become the face of other brands, including an airline! Wow.

Let’s just say that those who mocked her aren’t laughing now, huh?

Teen Ridiculed for Charles & Keith Bag Becomes a Model

When 17-year-old Singapore-based Pinay teen Zoe Gabriel happily posted about her “first luxury bag” after getting a Charles & Keith tote as a present from her dad, several netizens mocked her.

Some were even mean enough to comment on her post, pointing out that Charles & Keith isn’t a luxury brand.

Other netizens jumped to her rescue, assuring the young girl that “luxury” is relevant and she was right in considering the bag a luxury, especially because her dad bought it with his hard-earned money as an OFW (overseas Filipino worker).

Soon, Zoe and her dad were invited to the brand’s headquarters where they had a tour of the facility. The brand also gave her more bags.

Later, it was announced that Zoe is the newest model for Charles & Keith.

But her turn of luck didn’t stop there. After visiting Charles & Keith, she was also invited by other brands for a visit and got freebies from restaurants and other companies in the area.

Recently, it was also revealed that the teen isn’t just modeling for Charles & Keith but has also been signed up as the face for several other brands.

For example, she can be seen wearing an AirAsia cabin attendant’s uniform while dancing to a TikTok video posted by the airline.

A family’s funny convo goes viral after a role reversal that many netizens can relate with, as the kids jokingly “reprimand” their parents for staying out late. Cool or not?

Family’s Funny Convo Goes Viral

Parents are expected to discipline their children and make sure that they’re following the house rules, focus on their studies, and be home at certain hours or before the curfew.

Of course, many parents don’t impose a strict curfew but they do expect their children to be home. It isn’t surprising that many parents get angry at their children if the kids stay out late at night, especially during school days.

And many of us can just hear what our parents usually tell us – how we should be home early, what we’re supposed to do, what we shouldn’t do while out, etc.

So, imagine what happens when the roles are reversed and the kids are left at home while their parents are out late, just hanging out with their friends or with each other.

The situation can turn hilarious, just like what happened to the family of a certain netizen “VM” whose convo went viral on Pilipino Star Ngayon Digital.

According to their convo, the parents were out somewhere, with Grace (obviously the mom) sharing a selfie to their GC. It was posted close to 8 PM.

One of the kids, Michael, immediately replied and “reprimanded” their parents, asking where they were and “accusing” the two of going out to have fun.

Another child, Ejay, pointed out that it was already night and their parents should already go home.

The rest of the convo used phrases that parents usually tell their kids when they’re still out, adding that they’re “hard-headed.”

This entire convo is a joke, of course, but many netizens had a good laugh about it.

Some netizens even “advised” the kids to refrain from being too strict with their parents because they might rebel against them. LOL

VM later clarified that the couple, their parents, do get out often these days, but that’s only because their kids are all adults already. Only one child, their youngest, is left at home with them.

The convo is a running joke in the family – and we all think that’s sweet because their easy banter shows that they’re a close-knit family.

What’s a Close-Knit Family?

The term is used for a family or group of people that have close bonds or ties with each other. They can be closely related or have a very close friendship – and they support each other.

Jollibee recently earned praise from a tattoo artist and netizens for hiring a tattooed guy as a service crew. Netizens share their insights on the situation, comparing how the Philippines handles tattooed people compared with how other countries do.

Would you hire a tattooed person?

Tattoo Artist Spots Tattooed Guy Working as Jollibee Service Crew

In the Philippines and some countries, there’s a stigma against tattooed people. Many people associate tattoos with something bad, thinking that someone with a tattoo can be a bad person, has been in jail, or just trying to rebel against society.

This thought is often seen in depictions of imprisoned people or villains as heavily tattooed in movies and TV shows.

In reality, of course, having a tattoo isn’t synonymous with being bad – and so many good people who don’t fit the above-mentioned ‘criteria’ sport tattoos for varied reasons.

Still, it’s a sad reality in the Philippines that having a tattoo could prevent you from being accepted into a decent job. After all, employers want to hire the “good employees” – and many are still close-minded over the matter.

So, it was with great happiness and pride that tattoo artist Nikko Adrian Agner of NyxTattoos in Tacloban City, Leyte, posted a photo of a Jollibee service crew with a huge tattoo on his forearm.

The guy, named Dominic (as seen on his nameplate), has a huge pirate-like tattoo covering most of his forearm and a beast of some form, looking like a lion or bear, reminiscent of the titular character on Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” near his wrist.

“So, the other day my family and i had breakfast at jollibee. What i saw made me smile ,kudos to jollibee for hiring tattooed people ! Sir Jd our server was so kind and polite “bisan tattoan buutan” hehe (even if he’s tattooed, he’s a good person),” the tattoo artist wrote.

“I hope this will start a trend that big companies will not discriminate hiring tattooed individuals. Good job Jollibee.”

The tattoo artist also offered this guy free tattoos – and he reportedly accepted.

Tattoo Discrimination

Even in the US and other first-world countries, there’s some degree of discrimination towards tattooed people – especially heavily tattooed ones who also have prints on their faces.

According to the ASVAB Career Exploration Program, the United States discrimination laws currently do not reference tattoos.

So, it’s still possible that a visible tattoo (including statement piercings) may or may not have an effect on your employability. That’s why they advise jobseekers to research first before getting any body art so that they don’t unintentionally affect their chances of employment.
