What makes a person kissable?
There are many types of kisses we give and receive — a kiss to comfort a friend, a kiss to express respect, or a kiss of greeting. Then there is the kiss, one that makes us fall in love and causes us sleepless nights. A kiss that makes us hang around the phone, waiting, and arguing with ourselves no matter how tentative the kiss may have been. Is it the kiss or the kisser? Who knows, but as the song says, a kiss is still kiss.
KC CONCEPCION, United Nations World Food Program ambassador against hunger & CloseUp endorser: A calm aura, happy smile, clean teeth, fresh breath, and dreamy eyes.
JOTEEN JIMENEZ , president, Little Professor Book Center: He does not have be drop-dead gorgeous but sometimes the way his mouth opens when he talks — that makes me want to kiss him.
KIRSTEN LOPEZ, merchandiser, Stores Specialists, Inc.: As long as he’s got lips that could speak words that will stimulate my brain, but at the same time say sweet nothings, I’ll find him kissable.
RAYMOND GOROSPE, GM, Fitness First: It’s the combination of a woman’s cute smile and sweet scent.
KAREN PAMINTUAN, TV host/commercial model: What makes a person kissable is his being Brent Javier.
KAI HUANG, photographer: Besides the lips, maybe it’s the whole face or the facial expression. But it’s more like a moment of weakness than a quality or feature on a person for me right now.
MICHELLE MANTECON, Platypus swimwear/La Playa Clothing owner: Pinoys are kissable people! We are passionate and love to express our emotions. Anybody in my life whom I share love with deserves to be kissed — my husband, kids, family and closest of friends.
DR. MAR MAGASPI, pediatrician: The person should have thick and soft lips with minty fresh breath.
JOJO ESGUERRA-DEE, partner, Siguion Reyna Montecillo & Ongsiako Law Office: Soft and smooth lips that occasionally part to give that longing, can’t-wait-to-be-kissed look are truly kissable! The very same lips become even more kissable when, after a kiss, they leave on the other person’s lips the “I will be here for you forever” aftertaste — pretty much like that left by her husband’s kiss.
KIM CHUA, brand executive, CloseUp: Those who always keep a smile on their face and are always concerned about maintaining fresh breath. Having those makes them confident, kissable and ready for any closeup encounter.
