The World Is Your Runway...

Hey Guys,

OMG its Fashion Week!

Modalista Designers

So to kick off this marvelous week we got invited to a fashion show by Modalista! It’s not just any ordinary online boutique but an outlet for self expression. The runway was super cool and the pieces were fabulous as well! The look was very 1960’s from the style to hair and makeup. I love that retro/mod look they had going on. It kind of reminded me of the young Audrey Hepburn days. I think its genius bringing back “back in the day” fashion with a touch of today…. I LOVE IT!

Scene Stealers with Malik So Chic

For the spring – according to the show – LADIES, try to go for the yellows, blues, a light grey and even black with some serious pumps (think rhinestones, sequence...go crazy with it)! As for the material, go with laced up topsor a sequenced outfit and expose that cleavage ;) FELLAS, its all about the blazers and fitted jeans! NOW GO & EXPRESS YOURSELF!

Kudos to the founder and creative designer Monica Phromsavanh…Great show!  I love the fact that this Latina accomplished her goal as being a successful entrepreneur.

Taboo getting interviewed for ULR

Later that day we went to visit socialite and TV fashion expert, Malik So Chic for his new handbag line called “Pampered Royale” (check Jess’s blog for the 411).

Taboo from THE BLACK EYED PEAS came to our offices, showed some love & posed for Urban Latino Magazine! He was there to promote his new book, Fallin Up; My Story. He was so pleasant to interact with. He even did a drop for us as well as a synopsis of the book (check our video). It’s his story of his trial and tribulations; I can’t wait to read and be inspired. Get your copy!

;)

You know guys, if you really think about it … the world is YOUR runway so whoever is distracting you, simply maintain that focused face and make sure NO ONE GETS in your way (wear confidence as your makeup).  Seriously, I realized that fashion, books, blogs, radio, TV all have one thing in common and that’s EXPRESSION! So go out there and make a statement!

STRIKE A POSE … "VOUGE" – Madonna, my song of the week.

What's Up!

This week has been awesome! Wednesday kicked off Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week here in New York City. Fashion Week is a week long event that allows fashion designers and brands to display their latest collections in runway shows, while buyers take a look at the latest trends. Most importantly though, it lets the industry know what is "in" and what is "out" for the season.

Modalists Fashion Show

Samantha and I started our Fashion Week early with the Modalistas Fashion Show presented by Fashion Forward Tuesdays. The show was great and featured designs from Charles Dieujuste, Daniela Zagnolli, Dasgupta, Henry De La Paz, Kastle Designs, Shauntele, Tribal Couture and Edwing D'Angelo.  Get the full 411 from Samantha.

After that show, we headed uptown to 220 Atlier for the launch party event for Malik So Chic's Pampered Royale handbag collection.  

Malik So Chic, originally from Ohio, is a Manhattan socialite who came to New York about 4 years ago and began working as an assistant for Patti Wilson (a stylist) and V & Visionaire magazines. He is most memorable for his unique sense of style which has led him to host various NYC parties. He is also the co-star of Tinsley Mortimer's reality show High Society, which debuts in March on the CW. 

Malik So Chic

With a name like Malik So Chic its no wonder, he is serious about his fashion. He was voted best dressed in high school, and its a title he lives up to today. He's often seen wearing rhinestone lens-less glasses and bright (at times outrageous) clothing.

Malik So Chic developed the Pampered Royale label to "represent any woman who aspires to a life of modern luxury without limitations of society or class level."  Pampered Royale is "sexy, confident and seductive...for women who have a talent for making their dreams come true and conduct their life in effortless leisure."

I was not a fan (lol).  The handbags seemed a bit over the top for my liking with mixtures of faux furs, specialty leathers, novelty fabrics and feathers. The handbags seemed almost childish to me. 

Scene Stealers w/ Taboo

The next day, we had a visit from Taboo, founding member of the six-time Grammy Award winning group The Black Eyed Peas, here at the Urban Latino offices. He was here in New York City promoting his new memoir Fallin' Up: My Story and for a photoshoot for our upcoming issue of ULM.  The Mexican-American star tells the riveting story of his journey from the drug crime-ridden neighborhoods of L.A. to the packed performance sites around the world. While is rise to fame is inspiring, the book also takes a look at the darker, more private tale of Taboo, from his long neglect of the son he had at eighteen to the addictions to drugs and alcohol that almost ended his career.  His book is honest to say the least and will be on the must-read list for BEP fans, new and old.

Song of the Week: "Shooting Star" - David Rush - ft LMFAO, Pitbull & Kevin Rudolf

Which Way to The Stage?

Video Song: "Yemaya" - Banda Atakke _______________________________________________________________

Hey Guys,

Ok so I lied, lol this is our second week in a row where we’ve been a week late with our posts! But I swear the reasoning to it is legit & you will see soon!!! None the less we are back with some *LATINO* Broadway news!!
 

Blanca LaSalle, the QUEEN of Latin PR!

Jess and I went to the press conference for Ghetto Klown starring, comedian legend.. John Leguizamo! It was amazing, everything was conducted by Blanca LaSalle (Marc Anthony & JLo’s rep) from Creative Link. The press conference was so organized and on point. I took mental notes, so I know what to do when I conduct one. I had a meeting with her earlier last month along with my boss. Hearing her story gave me a huge boost to achieve more in my career. [View our video for her words in this industry =) ]

With the star, John Leguizamo!

Now back to Ghetto Klown! John Leguizamo returns to Broadway with his new solo play GHETTO KLOWN for 12-weeks! The previews begin on February 21 and the opening will be on Tuesday March 22 at the Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street). You guys have to check it out ! Click here to get your tix!! At the press conference, John and the director shed some light on what we can expect. Apparently this ONE MAN SHOW will be more of a personal journey of him than just clowning around. 

Leguizamo explains, “GHETTO KLOWN is all the things I say to my therapist and my manager, but would NEVER want the general public to know.” - Never say never lol- he First hit the stage with his show Mambo Mouth (1991), which became a smash hit and won the Obie and Outer Circle Critics Award, and later was filmed for HBO, where it picked up a CableACE Award! He returned to the stage four more times with Spic-O-Rama, Freak and Sexaholix... A love Story! And now… GHETTO KLOWN! This will be more of a personal adventure where he will relive moments in his life, especially in the professional aspect. According to Leguizamo this will contain more “real” acting but at the same time maintain his signature comedic style. If you don’t know he was born in Bogotá, Colombia (Viva Colombia) So seeing someone from my background becoming so huge as him is truly inspiring. He has the ability to joke around about his ethnic background but at the same time take pride in being LATINO!

With the talented Actor, Manny Perez

Our next press conference was for La Barberia! Starring La Soga Star (and our friend) MANNY PEREZ and P Diddy’s “Bad Boy of Comedy“(a Sazon regular), RUPERTO VANDERPOOL! La Barberia is a musical comedy play that was written by David Maldonado and Ari Maniel Cruz, It was directed by Waddy Jaquez and produced by David Maldonado and John Toro - whom also co produced El Cantante (starring Marc Anthony and JLo),  Celia - The life and Music of Celia Cruz, and Quien Mato a Hector Lavoe? 

So you already know this production has to be FABULOUS!  It opens TOMORROW FEB 3rd, 2011! For Tickets click here! So do you wonder what takes place in a Washington Heights barber shop? Well come and watch this Dominican/Latino dramatic comedy. The story is set in a barbershop aka “La Barberia”. Believe it or not La Barberia is the trendy “HOTSPOT” for Latino men today. It’s a place where they can do there “boys will be boys” thing regardless of there economic status. The topics that are usually discussed during this down time are; women (go figure -_-), music, baseball and politics. So here’s the scoop, Manny Perez’s character Benny owns the barber shop and faces a dilemma whether to sell the shop for a multi-million dollar offer or not. Before reaching his decision he faces serious and hilarious dialog with his customers, and loved ones. La Barberia will take the audience to a emotional journey of hope & identity, The play will bring up the philosophical question of - where are we going? …so there’s no doubt that this will be a tear jerker!

(Shout Out to Manny and Ruperto for giving us a Scene Stealer drop; view video)

As you can tell these past Press Conferences were dedicated to Latino Theatre. So please show support and watch these plays. I’m excited to see them =)

Kenny Ortega and Ray Wagner!

During our hectic schedule, Jess and I were asked by radio personality, Kenny Ortega to be on his One 2 Quarto Show, on Urban Latino Radio! Of course we complied & boy was it an experience lol. Him along with Ray Wagner (aka Gringo) definitely put Jess and I on blast a couple of times. However, it was all in fun! They actually raised a couple of good questions that stomped Jess and I a little. For example: "How do you feel about being responsible for your followers?" Sheesh, when he put it like that, we have a lot of pressure lol! Its great to have people look up to us and become inspired by us, so if we are able to motivate our future then that’s an amazing BONUS within our journey. We spoke about almost everything, from boys to having a fragrance?!? haha..yup Ray created a “Scent Stealer” flyer for a potential perfume line! After discussing Kenny's One 2 Quarto fragrance…hmmm a fragrance idea actually doesn’t sound so bad ;)

Overall, we were very happy to be on Kenny’s show! He has appeared everywhere; Urban Latino Radio, SiTv Latino Laugh Festival, MTV Tr3s and The Dave Chappelle Show! He has also performed in comedy venues throughout NYC (Laugh Lounge, HA! Comedy Club, to name a few). Don’t forget to catch him and Ray every Monday through Thursday from 1pm to 4pm on urbanlatinoradio.com with on One 2 Quarto. Thank you for having us! You guys were truly amazing.

Thanks to the the URBAN LATINO RADIO FAMILY for allowing us to flourish and grow within the beautiful art of on-line radio! I GREW A NEW LOVE FOR RADIO <3 It's such an awesome experience and a great way to express/share your thoughts and views. Definitely something I want to pick at more!!

Ok well that’s all!!

Song of the week - Desert Rain -Edward Maya feat Vika Jigulina...makes me think of Hooka and belly dancing every time I hear it lol

What's up!

So this past week the Broadway League and NYC & Company (New York City's official tourism organization) announced their winter marketing programs - including the first ever Broadway Week featuring some great deals, like 2-for-1 tickets to participating shows! New York City's Broadway week began January 24th and will continue until February 10th.  Broadway Week, along with New York City's Restaurant Week (Jan 24th-Feb 6th), is a great way for not only visitors but residents of NYC to experience the very best of what NYC has to offer this winter season.

The launch of Broadway Week complements this week's blog perfectly for us! We had the privilege to attend TWO press conferences for LATINO shows hitting the Broadway/off-Broadway scene this year.

John Leguizamo & Fisher Stevens (director)

On Monday, January 24th, Samantha and I trooped it in the snow to the Snapple Theater to hear and ask questions about John Leguizamo's new one man show "Ghetto Klown."  Before I get into "Ghetto Klown," let me give you a little background on Mr. Leguizamo. Leguizamo studied acting with Lee Strasberg and Wynn Handman at New York University. Since then he's become a multi-faceted performer and Emmy award winner, establishing a career that in a surprising way kind of defies categorization. He's worked in film, theatre, television and literature, that has covered a variety of genres and continuously threatens to create a few of this own. You may remember Leguizamo from such films as "Summer of Sam," "Love in the Time of Cholera," Nothing Life the Holidays," The Happening," "Moulin Rouge," "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet," "Carlito's Way," and "To Wong Foo: Thanks for Everything"
for which he received a Golden Globe nomination for best supporting actor...and that's just to name a few.

"Ghetto Klown"

Leguizamo (in 1991) created an off-Broadway sensation as the writer and performer of his one man show "Mambo Mouth," in which he portrayed several different characters.  "Mambo Mouth" received various awards, was aired as a special on HBO...and led to this first television comedy special on Comedy Central.  Ultimately "Mambo Mouth" was a great success and Leguizamo followed up with other one man shows - "Spic-O-Rama," "Freak," and "Sexaholic...A Love Story." This all has led up to his next one man show "Ghetto Klown." The play, which is directed by Fisher Stevens, is described as the next chapter in Leguizamo's hugely popular personal and professional story.  Leguizamo will take the audience on a fever-pitched adventure from his adolescent memories in Queens to the early days of his acting career during the 80s avant-garde theatre scene to the sets of major motion pictures where he played opposite to some of Hollywood's biggest stars. The play promises to be full of explosive energy and vivid accounts of where he's been and the colorful characters who have populated his life. Previews for the play begin February 21st at the Lyceum Theatre and is set to open on March 22nd for a 12-week limited engagement.

Wednesday, January 26th, we were offered another opportunity to guest co-host on Urban Latino Radio with Kenny Ortega on his "One2Quatro" Show from 1pm to 4pm. Let's just say...it was a hilarious 3 hours of radio talk (lol)! Thank you to Kenny and Ray for having us on the show and for the hugely entertaining conversations!

"La Barberia" cast

Later that very night...again in the snow...Samantha and I trooped it uptown to Altus Cafe for the press conference for "La Barberia" (The Barbershop). This new Spanglish comedic drama, presented by David Maldonado and Ari Maniel Cruz, is the story of Bennt Acevedo, the owner of a barbershop in Washington Heights, who faces the toughest decision of his life in regards to his business.  The story plays out against a score of original contemporary Latin music emanating from the airwaves and boosts an all Latino cast, including our dear friend Manny Perez, Ruperto Vanderpool, Mateo Gomez, Modesto Lacen, Sunilda Caraballo, Ivan Camilo, Gracinay Miranda and more. "La Barberia" directed by Waddys Jacquez is sure to be a funny and wistful portrait of the Washington Heights neighborhood and a tribute to its community. Officially opening February 17th (with previews beginning February 3rd), "La Barberia" will be running at the New World Stages until April 24th.

Me w/ my LS Heather's little princess Alexis

We definitely can't wait to see these shows...and after the close of "In The Heights" and "West Side Story," we're loving that Latinos are making a comeback on Broadway one show at a time!

Have an awesome week!!

___________________________________________________________________

Hey Guys!

 

Wow I feel like its been forever since I wrote here! And its only been 2 weeks. Those two weeks has been extremely hectic! From our 1st event of the year to being on  urbanlatinoradio.com to filming a commercial at Sazon and more!!  ::phew:: As we promised we are giving you the 411 on what’s going on! 

So here’s the recap…last week was our 1st networking party under Scene Stealers. In preparation for the event we had an official banner and business cards.  In all honesty (because we keep it real) the night started out as a complete mess. Our DJs equipment broke and it was the night of the “snow storm” - the snow scare kind of killed our event just a tad bit. Non-the-less, the show must go on =) … we worked with what we had! Our DJ eventually got the music going and our supporters started to arrive. Sazon’s Chef Frank made us special mini beef empanadas for the event – which everyone LOVED!  Our Guests were so lovely and praised Jess and I on our baby, Scene Stealers! We were so grateful with the turnout. Everyone left with a Scene Stealer gift bag & smile =)

Once again if you came to our party…THANK YOU!  Our events will only get BIGGER AND BETTER!

So…

That Saturday I went with my mom to see They Call Me La Lupe starring miss Lauren Valez at Teatro Latea.  They Call Me La Lupe is a joint production of  Tatro Latea and Dura Vida Productions. It was Directed by Veronica Calcedo and written by Emmy winner James Manos Jr. and Luis Caballero. Valez did an amazing job interrupting the salsa legend, and what I thought was remarkable was the fact that it was a ONE- WOMAN SHOW, meaning there wasn’t any other actors but her. She held her own and was able to captivate everyone’s attention and relive a passionate story! In chronological order, Lauren Valez portrayed Lupe's life in a marvelous matter. Just to fill you in La Lupe was known as the Queen on Latin Soul!  During the Cuban revolution La Lupe was kicked out of her hometown and moved to NY!  Here, she embarked on her journey, La Lupe soon befriended and recorded with world-renowned Afro-Cuban percussionist Mongo Santamaria.  

She later met Tito Puento and apparently left Santamaria for the timbale player. In 1964, La Lupe and Tito Puente recorded the Latin classic "Te Pedi (What Did I Ask of You)". For the next four years, she recorded and toured the Latin music circuit in the U.S., Venezuela, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Panama and Spain.  During the late 1960s, Tito Puente started to record with Celia Cruz.  Puente couldn’t handle how much recognition Lupe was getting and decide to let her go (hmph can you believe these men, they can’t handle successful women -_- ) So La Lupe struck out on her own, performing and appearing everywhere. By 1975, Fania's new rising star was Celia Cruz, and La Lupe's career suffered. Fania Records ended her contract, and Lupe became penniless. You guys have to take a look a look at this! The last day to see the play is tomorrow at 3pm and 8pm!  Her crazy performances and soulful voice is what sets her apart from other artists of her time.  However there were rumors that she was extremely hard to work with, she also had problems with alcohol and drugs.  Click here to see a clip of her performance ….she was the “Lady Gaga” of her time.

So Jess and I found out that radio host Pretty Lou was looking for guest hosts!... we thought it would be so fun to be on the show. So we decided to ask and BAM! There we were on FRONT STAGE RADIO  the most controversial on-line radio station out there. It was a wonderful experience being on radio. We were on Monday to Thursday from 10pm -1am! Each night was a different topic! (Check out Jess’s blog for more details on the topic!)  Producer Angela Rivera gave us the rundown before each show - so we knew ahead of time with what’s going on! (SHOUT OUT TO ANGIE <3)The show was formatted with plenty of Gossip and News! On Wednesday and Thursday they had independent segments such as "Hard to pronounce words with Pretty Lou" (which was hilarious!!!) and Thursday Jess and I helped with the top 20 countdown!  We even dapped our feet into being judges for the unsigned artist segment called "Do or Die". The contestant was K.O.D.A ! (King of Dem All) he unfortunately didn’t pass not because of his talent but because of the production A.K.A. his beats. Shout out to him for being an awesome sport and we wish you the best! I love self-driving people. So big props to you and everyone who’s working hard to accomplish that dream! What's cool about Urban Latino Radio is the fact that it has a LIVE chat room where we got to interact with the listeners! it got pretty crazy in there, reading all the conversations.

Sazon was filming a commercial that will be airing on Time Warner and other local channels. The date of the release is TBD. It was a cool experience! I was caught off guard when they asked me to be in it lol my hair was definitely not up to par lol. I can’t wait to see the final product!

Well yea guys as you can see we had a busy two weeks and that’s not included with our actual URBAN LATINO work that we have. Handling accountants working on a Hosting reel ect...its crazy! Lol but I’m looking forward to what this year will continue to bring Jess and I! Thank you once again for being part of our growing story =)



Song of the week (I just found my new karokee song!) - "Hold It Against Me" - Brittany Spears

What's up!

Did you guys miss us?! (lol)

At our Event =)

We've been extremely busy lately expanding our "Scene Stealers" brand. As you all know last week we held our very first networking event benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Samantha and I were very stressed the entire day (lol).  We were having some issues with our printers, DJ equipment and expecting a pending snow storm.  Although, I have to say despite the snow storm that night, there was a nice turnout. 

I want to personally thank everyone that came out to support us : DJ Evolution, Manny Smalls (M.S. Productions), our ULM family, our sorority sisters (from NY to New Mexico!), the brothers of Lambda Theta Phi Fraternidad Latina, Inc., the brothers of Lambda Upsilon Lambda La Unida Latina Fraternity, Inc., the brothers of Lambda Sigma Upsilon Latino Fraternity, Inc., the Art for Money Collective, Oscar Martinez, Maria Benanti and Miguel Bonilla.  It really meant a lot to both Samantha and I, that you all braved the weather to come support us and this cause. 

To checkout all the pictures from that event, please visit our facebook page!

Chatting it up on UrbanLatinoRadio.com

This week, we had the awesome privilege of being guest co-hosts on the Front Stage Radio Show with Pretty Lou, DJ Top 10, DJ Harry Hash, Magic and Angela (the producer) on Urban Latino Radio. Pretty Lou is native New Yorker and an innovator in the world of broadcast media.  He's had shows on DTF Radio, Sirius and XM Satellite Radio to name a few. DJ Top 10 is a man of many talents - radio and mixtape DJ, official BumSquad DJ, radio personality and promoter.  DJ Harry Hash is an awesome DJ and Magic (who was only with us on Tuesday) is known as the "Sneaker King World Radio Personality."  All these talent fellas in a room with Samantha and I, for 4 days...good times (lol).

We were very very nervous the first day and had no idea what to expect.  Pretty Lou introduced us to his listeners and did a little impromptu interview with us.  We then got into some celebrity gossip and music mixes.  Tuesday, we were a little more relaxed and had some entertaining topics to discuss on air.  That night's topic was "Why men choose and women settle when it comes to marriage"...so you already know we had a lot to say on the topic (lol)!  It got really interesting in the ULR chatroom with everyone giving their 2 cents on the issue. 

Wednesday came around and Samantha and I were starting to feel like pros (lol).  We were more comfortable with talking on the radio live and definitely showcased more of our personalities. Wednesday night's topic was hilarious...it had me and Samantha kind of butting heads with our different opinions.  The topic was "You want to date a friend of your ex, how long do you wait after the relationship is over to approach the friend?" Thursday was our final night on the radio show with the fellas. Thursday night's structure was different from the previous nights because we did a rundown of Billboard's Top 20 chart. One of the things, Lou is well known for is having paved the way for many artists and radio professionals with us "unsigned hype" segment, which has become a template for other stations and has given new undiscovered talent their opportunity to be heard while allowing listeners to weigh in. Samantha and I participated in this segment and were a bit hesitant at first, but we definitely gave our opinions.  

Me, K.O.D.A., Pretty Lou & Samantha

This week's artist was K.O.D.A.  K.O.D.A. (King Of Dem All) is an up and coming hip hop artist raised in Tampa, Florida and now calls the lower east side of Manhattan home.  He's been perfecting his skills for about 8 years using both the East Coast and the down South as his major influences. He brought two of this tracks to station for us to listen to and evaluate.  We all agreed that K.O.D.A.'s word play was great, his delivery nice...but for some reason we all thought that there was something off. Ultimately, it was decided that he would not pass our unsigned artist segment...because although he has a tremendous talent, he needed to work harder and possibly work with a new team of producers and DJs, according the Lou. 

And that concluded our internet radio journey with Front Stage Radio.  We want to thank both Angela and Lou for giving us this opportunity to guest co-host this past week.  We really learned a lot and it has definitely got me and Samantha thinking of other ventures we may want to pursue. We also got an offer to guest co-host with Kenny Ortega on his "One2Quatro Show" (also on Urban Latino Radio) next week...so Samantha and I must of done something right (lol)!!  

 

Thank you to everyone that as supported us in our endeavors so far this year...from trooping it in a snowstorm to listening religiously these past four days...we really appreciate it!! And trust me when I say there is lots more to come =D

Song of the Week: "Blow Up" - J.Cole (TRUTH!!! Watch out for Scene Stealers...cuz we about to blow up! lol)

We’ve also been working a lot with Art For Money. “AFM” is an innovative musical concept with a fresh new look and original sound that combines soul, blues, Latin, jazz with contemporary R&B that everyone loves to groove to. Their unique presence is very organic and in sync. Art For Money merges songs and styles that we know and love into one harmonious tune. They bring out the true meaning of versatility. It’s evident that something great has been born. You can catch them live on January 20th, 2011 at Creole Lounge and January 25th, 2011 at Sazon Restaurant. =)

Shoutout to my girl Madelyn Rodriguez, she stars in Sensato Del Patio's new music video, a remix of Aventura’s “El Malo." A follow-up to his 2009 smash hit “Watagabitusberry," which debut at #4 on Billboard Magazine Latin Rhythm Charts, as well as the Top 50 Hot Latin Songs and tropical airplay. It's exciting to see her acting debut in the video playing the love interest. Her unique deep and raspy voice often called “sexy” has been on New York City’s top three Latin radio stations La Mega 97.9, Amor 93.1 and her current gig x96.3.

So even with all the mysteriously weird circumstances, like the thousands of dead red-winged birds falling from the sky in Arkansas and Louisiana along with millions of dead fish in the Chesapeake Bay (yea, pretty creepy :/ )...I still love you 2011 lol.  So whether or not the end of the worlds rumors are true, I will still be living and producing the BEST LIFE POSSIBLE. Remember life is the ticket to the greatest show on earth, so don't put it to waste.. =)

Oh I almost forgot! I chopped off my hair. This has seriously been the shortest I’ve ever had it...it was a huge step for me lol.

 What do you think?

ok well, see ya at Vibrations, I'll save ya a dance ;)

xo, Samantha

P.S - I LOVE THIS SONG. It's my baby, Trey Songs - "ALREADY TAKEN" 0:)

What's up,

Arielle and I on NYE

First off, I'd like to say Happy 2011 to everyone.  I hope you all enjoyed their New Year celebrations, I know I did.  I counted down to 2011 with my parents at home then partied the night...and morning (lol) away with my lovely linesisters (S/O to Christi, Christina, Adriana, Arielle, Socorro and duhh...Samantha). It was definitely a night full of hilarious memories...a great way to start out the year.

This year is definitely about fresh new starts and welcoming new opportunities. So far I've stuck to my resolutions...I know it's only the 5th day of the year and all but realistically most people's resolutions don't make it past the first night (lol)!! So I'm staying true...it's not easy, I've caught myself twice already, but I got it together quick enough not to break my main resolution. So wish me luck, I need it!!

So other than coming back to work after a nice long break, there's not much going on.  There will definitely be some very buzzworthy things coming up very soon with Urban Latino and Scene Stealers, so be on the lookout!

That's really it today...oooohhhh wait, before you go...I can't believe I almost forgot ::can't watch face:: 

Scene Stealers' very first networking event will be this Tuesday, January 11th, 2011 at Vibrations Lounge on the Lower East Side. The event is called the "Make-A-Wish Networking Event." Half of our proceeds that night will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The Foundation has been enriching the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work for over 30 years.  It's going to be awesome!  We'll have yummy hors d' ouvres from Sazon Restaurant.  We'll have music from the very talented DJ Evolution.  Very soon we'll be able to announce our liquor sponsor and our signature "Scene Stealers" cocktail that will be available the day of the event!! We'll have gift bags with lots of goodies for H&M ThinkLatino, The Beauty Channel, Tuch Tone Ready Music, Urban Latino Magazine, Abarrotes Mexicanos and more!
