_____________________________________________________


Hellllo Fashion week!

Last Wednesday night Grey Goose, the World's Best Tasting Vodka, (and Samantha's fave vodka) kicked off New York's Fashion Week in pure style by celebrating and honoring three FABULOUS women in fashion as Rising Icons. Claire Sulmers - Editor-in-Chief of the FashionBombDaily.com, Niki Schwan - celebrity stylist and VH1 style expert (She worked with Lauren Conrad from MTV's The Hills) and Kianga "Kiki" Peterson - designer of K. Milele, were all honored as Rising Icons for their work and contribution to fashion and pop culture!

As fashion shows have migrated uptown to Lincoln Center, it was only fitting that Grey Goose celebrate this occasion across the way at the Empire Hotel Rooftop for the debut of Kianga "Kiki" Peterson's new women's collection, K. Milele while DJ Amanda "Diva" Seales (a past Rising Icon honoree) added her musical flair to the night's festivities.

Models, tastemakers, fashionistas and celebrities like actress Jessica Caban, designers Idyll and Ayaan Mohallim, VH1's Big Morning Buzz host Carrie Keagan, actor/R&B recording artist Bryce Wilson, Fubu founder J. Alexander Martin, stylist Memsor Kamarake and model/actress Liris Crosse were all in attendance enjoying Grey Goose signature cocktails -  The Mogul, The Frenchy and The Cape Fizz (see recipes below ;] ).

GREY GOOSE Signature Cocktails for rising icons:

The Mogul: Grey Goose L’Orange and cranberry juice—a melodious mix of fruit flavors.

The Frenchy: Grey Goose La Poire mixed with sweet pineapple juice and tart cranberry juice creates a refreshing contrast that intrigues and delights.

The Cape Fizz: This contemporary take on a popular cocktail combines Grey Goose with cranberry juice, simple syrup and club soda.

Cheers!, 
Jessica & Samantha

What's the fuss over SOPA...& No We Dont Mean Abuela's Sopa!

If you were surfing the web last wednesday (1/19), we're sure that you noticed many of your favorite websites (like Google's above), that you visit on a daily basis, blacked out their sites. Confused as to why?

Here's the reason: they were protesting the PIPA (PROTECT IP Act) and SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) bills that – if passed – would give the government and companies the power to censor the internet.

It gives the government and corporations the ability to censor the net, in the name of protecting "creativity." These bills also will allow for the creation of an official internet directory, where only those sites that don’t “infringe on any copyright” will be featured.

Still don't get it? This video will help:

 



So basically, under this bill, sharing a video with anything copyrighted in it, or what sites like Youtube and Twitter do, would be considered illegal behavior according to this bill.

This bill would be the end of a various popular websites...it would be the end of...::gasp!:: Scene Stealers!! =(
 Plus, according to the Congressional Budget Office, this bill would cost us $47 million tax dollars a year.



Think this is bad look? You can help prevent it. Congress needs to hear from you, or this bill passes. Tell Congress not to censor the internet now!


Click here to sign the petition to stop the PIPA and SOPA bills!

Stay informed!!

xo, Jessica & Samantha

Supermodel, Jessica White - the official host - kept the crowd entertained, reminding everyone how to party. There were 10 lanes of private bowling, a private lounge to mingle and cocktails galore!

We had the opportunity to catch up with VH1's Mob Wives' star Carla Facciolo, who gave us advice and tips on how to network and divulged alittle bit of what to expect in the second season. Charlamagne tha God, also showed us some love and explained his thoughts on networking! Anddd we got Chris Gotti (Irv Gotti's brother) to shoutout Scene Stealers. (Check the video).

We were really thrilled to attend this event and be surrounded with so many successful and creative people -- It truly keeps us going!

Here are some networking tips from us to you:
  1. Always bring a business card and hand them out.
  2. Have a clear understanding of what you do and why, for whom, and what makes your doing it special or different from others doing the same thing. 
  3. Ask questions that are not 'yes' or 'no' answers to keep a convo going.
  4. Be able to articulate what you are looking for and how others may help you.
  5. Follow through quickly and efficiently on referrals you are given. 
  6. Keep in contact with those who may benefit from what you do and vice versa.
xo, Jessica and Samantha
