“Blast from the Past”: Fashion Factor

by Kong Eu on March 11, 2011

Wow, quite a few updates (it’s now Jul 11) since I originally posted this:

i)  RTM Muzik Aktif is now TV-i (still on Astro channel 180)

ii) i-traxx on TV-i (& TraxxFM) every Fri 9:15-10am – with a repeat same day 8pm- is now co-presented by Otto & yours truly

iii) Fashion Factor itself is being run on TV2 every Sat, 5pm begining Jul

 2 yrs can seem like a loooong time or maybe not thaaaat long ago…

Fashion Factor

This is probably the best way to describe this “blast from the past”. In 2009, I filmed my 1st ever TV series as a host. It’s a personal makeover programme and my duty as host was to link up all these fashion “victims” (from graduating students, working adults - both men&women - to full-figured ladies & those who are “bertudung”) with the relevant experts to make them over.

After the whole 13-part series was filmed, it was held in the vault for erm, quite a while …(for programming reasons I guess?)

So, finally the programme has surfaced….on RTM Muzik Interaktif – RTM’s special music channel that’s available on Astro channel 180. Fashion Factor airs Thurdays 1100am and began early Mar  - so it should run to May 2011 (corrected).

"Showing you how...ahem"

"The Magician"

Ironically, Astro Channel 180 is a channel I would, in the past, accidentally stumble upon A LOT while channel-flipping on Astro!

Weird huh? 

 

Here’s the opening montage:

PS. Coincidently too, I’m now a DJ with TraxxFM (RTM’s English station once known as Radio 4). Launched this year, there’s actually a Fri 915-10am slot on this same channel called “ITraxx” that features the morning DJ’s live on TV!
