Bryanboy is the pen name of Bryan Grey-Yambao, a Filipino fashion blogger. A former web developer, he started blogging at age 17 from his parents' Manila home. His eponymous blog, which attracts 5,000 visitors per day, won the 2007 Philippine Blog Award for Best Fashion & Lifestyle Blog. The New York Post named him one of the nine hottest internet celebrities, and news.com.au has called him "one of Fashion 2.0’s biggest superstars" and a "phenom in the fashion blogosphere". His blog, called "hysterically camp" by the Sydney Morning Herald, is known for its "witty and often bitchy commentary."
The blog has also attracted the attention of many in the fashion industry. Bryanboy fans often send in photos of themselves in his signature pose—standing with hips thrust to one side and a handbag in an outstretched arm—or with handwritten signs declaring "I <3 Bryanboy"; celebrity participants have included Marc Jacobs, Tanya Dziahileva, Alexandra Agoston, and Rachel Clark. Though no brand spokesman commented on the matter, it was widely reported that Bryanboy's trademark pose was referenced in two 2006 Fendi advertisements. Marc Jacobs even went so far as to name a handbag after him (the BB ostrich bag) after Bryanboy gushed about it in his blog.

I have not met Bryan Boy…yet…he is what every blogger wants to be, flown around the world just to Tweet and Blog and stay in fabulous hotels. The photo above was the only one that showed BB somewhat in men’s clothes, I would not call Bryan Boy a cross dresser per se, but he does “accessorize” from the women’s Department. Bryan Boy LOVES D&G and they him and often wears the latest D&G women’s ready to wear, be it a Blouse, Jacket…etc. I personal have a healthy jealousy around BB, I aspire to be him, minus the women’s wear LOL, but seriously, his is the bloggers dream come true, though it took him six years before he got an invite to a fashion show, now he is at them all, New York, London, Paris and Milan.
Healthy jealousy is good, it makes one work hard at obtaining that which they are jealous of...I wish you ALL THE LUCK.
