More behind-the-scenes insider tidbits: Ballsy, Pinky and Viel, who are all slim, don't like wearing form-fitting clothes, and so the dress sizes they specified were two sizes larger than their actual sizes–the clothes that fashion editor Rorie Carlos sourced for the shoot had to be pinned at the back.

It was, after all, September 8, birthday of the Virgin Mary. But also, unbeknownst to all, it turns out that the next day was when their brother Noynoy would announce whether or not he had decided if he would run for President. The sisters say they did not know what his decision would be at the time.
