How I Became A Fan of Rajito, Rajo Laurel’s Kiddie Couture Designer Line

I remember attending a kiddie party of one of my friend’s daughters.  Everything seemed to be going well until one of the kiddie guests at the party appeared, wearing the very same outfit as that of the celebrant.  While it wasn’t really a big deal to some, I personally got a bit uncomfortable since obviously, the birthday girl was supposed to be the “star” of the party.  It was of good fortune that her mom was able to bring an...
