JULIANNE RICHARDS on VMX's Pinay K@masuträ

In their aim to make things more passionate for Pinays as they do things in boudoir, the folks from VMX got another installment of Pinay K@masuträ called Pinay K@masuträ 3. This is directed by Carlo Alvarez who did the second one, and promised to make it even more daring, hotter than usual with the new host, the beautiful Julianne Richards. 

Julianne Richards says "Before I signed with VMX I was in Sydney, I worked in the hospitality field but before pandemic I tried in showbiz. I'm 22, I was discovered by KC Guerrero while I was auditioning in Pinoy Big Brother. I went to Star Magic and saw KC there. At first I was hesitant because my family is conservative. After reflecting, I saw this as an opportunity so I said yes after a week. I was in Home Sweetie Home, Love U, Wansapanataym, did extras. I was also in Desperadas, at first I really shifted my mindset because I told Mom who was very hesitant, I need to sacrifice to put my foot on the door and I'm glad I did it. VMX is very professional, I am thankful that it helped with honing my skills. I took a break doing pageants because I was concentrating with acting. Pageants was my Mom's dreams for me, I am doing this for me now. I also plan to finish my studies. I'd like to work with Joshua Garcia in the future. When this was given to me it was super last minute, wasn't familiar but really wanted to do it. I think my experience in pageants helped me a lot."

She added "I think I am more bolder here, Direk was super professional and it felt like a safe space which is why I'm comfortable talking about the topics. I took dance classes, I am also "pinalaki ng s3xbomb" and just had fun!"

Direk Carlo Alvarez says "We didn't have a problem with Julianne because she is very professional. Here, she is going to be dancing a bit too, it'll be new treatment. When we did it, I was also egged to dance with her. We have scenes you'll see in a wilder way, everything I asked was given to me more. She really learned the script quite fast, I am excited to see her in more narrative kind of films. This is the best K@masutra project yet! It's entertaining and you will be swayed by her dialogues, you will get to understand what they are doing in VMX movies after this. The second one was tamed, we had free hand doing this third installment, we were more tough with our choices."

Here's what happened during the presscon

Julianne is so gorgeous and very appealing to hear. As the host, she's going to take you to a hot journey in the world of VMX.
