GOING THE DISTANCE MOVIE CONTEST

CONTEST DETAILS

LOTTERY TICKET IN THEATERS AUG. 20TH!!!

Hello all you socialites out there.  This event was truly a great example of why Warner Bros. continues to be covered by this site.  They always put thought and serious promotion into their movies.  This event was no different.  The clever people in the marketing and PR dept., came together to put together “Bow Wow takes a job at Foot Locker” event in prep for the movie Lottery Ticket.  The movie is in theaters this Friday and promises to be a good time for all movie goers.  Now to the event:

First off, Bow Wow in the movie plays a Foot Locker employee, so Warner Bros. had him come to the 34th st. flagship Foot Locker store as their employee for the day!  He was dressed in full Foot Locker gear with name tag and all (pictured below) to greet what seemed like endless amounts of fans.

Bow Wow in full Foot Locker uniform

A funny story about yesterday: I was in the city early, so to kill time I decided to take a nice bus ride down to 34th st. (Thought media check-in was at 4p.m. and it turned out to be 3:30p.m. – SMH)  However, I’m glad I took that bus ride because when the bus stopped at 57th st. a group of young ladies and an older gentlemen came on the bus.  I noticed right away that the young ladies had on these I DID NOT WIN THE LOTTERY shirts.  In my mind, I was thinking “Wow, those would be great shirts for Warner Bros. in promoting the movie”…turns out, those ladies and that gentlemen got off the bus at my same stop (34thst.)  Next time I looked around they were running straight for the Foot Locker and I realized they were headed to the same event as myself.  So kudos to Warner for being on point with promotion and marketing!

Upon walking up 34th street from 8th ave towards the Foot Locker I started gaining sight of the mob of people outside and realized this event was major!  I entered into the Foot Locker and realized the mob was inside as well. The line was long inside and outside the store.  Now that’s PR & promotion for a movie!  Myself and my photographer George Mckenzie JR. settled in to the press area in preparation for Bow Wow’s arrival and noticed there were photographers from all over.  This event had heavy press there, which is always a good sign before the weekend a film releases.

Upon Bow Wow’s arrival he immediately wanted to start speaking on the microphone to his fans.  He even told the groups of thirsty photographers of the press…that he had to talk to his fans first because without them he wouldn’t be here.  Now that’s a star who knows the importance of the fan!  The entire event was well-organized and completely clever.  They had him behind the register signing movie posters as if he was ringing up fans.  Overall, the event was a complete success and actually fit the theme of the movie.   Two thumps up to Warner Bros. for knowing how to truly market and handle press surrounding this movie.  Definitely Socialiteis approved.   Enjoy the pics!  The pics were taken by George Mckenzie Jr. and my Blackberry Tour (it works more than people know!).

NV AWARDS 2010 INVITE

On June 3rd, 2010, not only did we have the pleasure of being invited to the prestigious 2010 NV awards hosted by Damon John of Abc’s Shark Tank & Jacque Reid of Jacque Reid Media held at the NY Times Center, we also had the pleasure of being guided through the evening by the lovely and multi-talented Free (formerly of B.E.T.’s #1 show 106 & Park).  The evening was filled with the top African Americans within the fields of Advertising, Marketing, Financial, Corporate & Fashion.

As we noticed right away, walking along with Free…it was as if she never left 106…everyone was excited to see her and she was completely humbled by the attention and love.

Free at the NV Awards

Free was also on hand to present the prestigious Fashion Award to Richard Dent III Chairman of the Billion Dollar line from Victoria’s Secret  PINK.  Richard confessed upon receiving the award that he had a crush on Free when she was on 106 and Park!  The evening overall was tasteful, eloquent and well put together.  We would like to thank Free and Kyle Donovan for the special invite and kindness they showed us throughout the evening.  Now, enjoy the pics and we’ll see you again soon!

Lauren Conrad

This week’s (and we feel like it should be month instead of week) Spotlight Socialite is of Lauren Conrad.  We were not fans of Laguna Beach, The Hills grabbed our attention a little more…but either way, there was no denying the star who stole both shows was Lauren Conrad.  She immediately had that “it” factor.  She was beautiful, intelligent and goal oriented amongst a world of silver spooners.   It took Lauren no time to prove what we thought about her was true, with just an internship at Teen Vogue in 2007 she helped increase their newsstand sales by double digits!  In that same year also became spokesperson for Avon’s Line “Mark” pictured below.

AVON Campaign "MARK" w/ Lauren Conrad

However, Ms. Conrad was not done there, in 2009 she launched LC by Lauren Conrad a clothing collection sold in Kohl’s nationwide and released the first of her book collection L.A. Candy which topped the NY Times Bestseller List (both pictured below).

LC by Lauren Conrad in Kohl's nationwide

L.A. Candy The 1st of Lauren's books

Lauren was showing no signs of slowing down her success in 2010 when she released the second of her books Sweet Little Lies ( pictured below) which also topped the NY Times Bestseller List.

Sweet Little Lies The 2nd of Lauren's Books

In Oct. 2010 she is getting set to release her third book entitled Sugar and Spice (pictured below) which will undoubtedly follow the same success as the previous two.

Sugar and Spice set for release Oct. 2010

It is reported that Lauren earned an estimated 1.5 million of her television and reality show appearances.   Not bad at all for a woman at the start of her career.  Lauren Conrad shows no signs of slowing down her brand and continues to know her audience and keeps them coming back for more, whether it is a book, cosmetic line, television appearance of clothing.  This is what makes Lauren Conrad our Spotlight Socialite of the Week.

Our parent company F1GMedia’s owner Chris Collie is Head of the Annual Freedom Fund Journal this year for the Bronx Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. We would first like to congratulate him on that honor.  Secondly, he is trying to set a precedent and change some of  the out-dated ways and mentality of his branch and the organization.  Being that each journal from each branch is then sent to the National Board of the N.A.A.C.P. who then sends it out to all members’ branches throughout the United States.  This journal is seen by every age demographic from teens, to young adults to seniors.

This year as he was appointed to head of the journal and being a young entrepreneur & blogger he knew the tremendous boost this could be to everyone’s promotion of their brand and/or blog.  One ad in these journals can be seen across the country within days!  Now with the recessionary times, the prices have been minimized and tailored to fit everyone’s budget.  All proceeds of the ad revenue go towards the branches of the N.A.A.C.P. to help provide scholarships, fight civil rights causes and make sure we continue to secure equality for all within this country.  So he figured, why not help out his fellow colleagues while also helping the most prestigious civil rights organization in history (who by the way is celebrating their 100th anniversary this year)?!   You will receive a copy of the journal with your ad in it to keep for a collector’s item.  Mind you, we don’t make a dime on this…this is strictly in helping both colleagues and a great organization.  Hope it can benefit all.

So without further adieu, here is how the ad breakdown  for the journal looks like this (Keep in mind the more serious you take your business and/or blog is the discretion you should use in carefully choosing which ad suits your needs):

Wave Energy Drink: One of the Sponsors for Tommy Baldwin Racing

This reception was held in the impressive NY Times building in Midtown Manhattan.  Upon arriving, we are greeted by over 200 mini-screens all flashing some quick news update on them as you walk by.  Mind you, this is just the lobby!  Then, after checking in downstairs where two guards and a quaint woman with a list the size of a old English scroll greet you, you are escorted to the elevator to arrive on the floor where the reception will be for the evening.  As the elevator doors open you are greeted with this beautiful table…

Take notes event planners, this is how elegance is achieved…the little details count.  After passing the beautiful table pictured above, you are then in the open reception area where the second check-in starts.  You must give your company’s name and yours, then they will hand you a laminated tag with your name & company name on it.  You then are ushered into the main reception area where poster boards adorn the area with images of Tommy Baldwin’s racing car, Guy Fieri on his show and Nascar races from the past.

As we started walking around the room and noticing all the who’s who in business, fashion and sports were there.  People that are behind the scenes that many would not know.  It was a pleasure to be in the room surrounded by such talent and great minds.   At this exact moment is when the finger foods and bar opened….Jackpot!  Lol   The food was excellent from gourmet honey chicken, to shrimp rolls with stuffed spinach inside.  Wave energy drink sponsored the bar along with Absolute Vodka which made for a smooth drink at the combination of both called a Wave Runner (Wave Energy drink, Absolute Vodka & Cranberry).

F1GMedia’s (our parent company) C.E.O. Chris Collie was on hand chatting with the marketing executives from Estee Lauder & Sak’s Fifth Avenue.   They all were in anticipation of the upcoming presentation going to be given by the executives from the NY Times, Nascar, Tommy Baldwin & Guy Fieri.  Below are the execs from Estee Lauder & Saks 5th Ave.

Marketing Specialists from Sak's 5th Ave & Estee Lauder

Just as we were all starting to see the room start socializing and getting more aquainted with each other’s companies, they announced it was time to make our way to the presentation room.  This is where Socialiteis.wordpress.com became extremely exclusive…one of the only cameras allowed in the room.  Here are the exclusive photos below…

Overall, this New York Times reception was informative as well as enjoyable.  There were interesting facts given during the presentation about how profitable Nascar is for sponsors and everyone involved as well as how powerful the New York Times readership is throughout the world.    Tommy Baldwin being a 5 time Trophy holder and now owner of his own racing team was personable and always willing to talk to the media, an executive or a fan of the sport.  We would like to extend our gratitude for the invitation to be a part of this special evening.   Defintely this night was Socialiteis approved!

This exclusive night was interesting to say the least.  Upon our arrival, there were over 300 people all with an excuse or reason why they should be one of the chosen few to enter for this affair.   Luckily, us at Socialiteis had gret connects who after a few minutes ushered us in.  Upon entering you were greeted with banners containing intriguing photographs hanging from the ceiling pictured below…

As if those banners pictured above weren’t eye catching enough for the decor the bar held a beautiful Stoli ice sculpture with fruits inside on the bar for patrons to admire as they ordered their Stoli drinks.

Beautiful lamps adorned each table

Now, came the time everyone was waiting for, the performers from The Moskova Affair to show their infamous styles…Enjoy…

The Sit

The Curl

The Embrace

The Trapeze Act 1

The Trapeze Act2

Trapeze Act 3

The Trapeze Act Finale

The night was definitely worth the hoopla at the front entrance.  This was a rare treat to see stage performers do pieces usually that you must get passes a month or two in advance to see.  All the performers were excellent and the decor was set just right.  Kudos to The Moskova Affair & Stoli for a well put together evening.  Definitely Socialiteis approved!

Krys Ivory was an absolute pleasure to interview and graciously took a break in the middle of an album session with Ryan Leslie to speak with Socialiteis exclusively.  We would also like to extend our warmest thank you’s to Signature Hits magazine for coming through and filming for us.

Krys Ivory is wise beyond her years and very personable which definitely showed through the interview.  She also has an amazing range which completely blew us away upon hearing her live.  A cancer survivor at such a young age, Krys is grounded in humbleness and gratefulness of knowing she was one of the lucky ones.  To quote her “I hit the cancer lottery”, meaning the type of cancer she had “Hodgkin’s Lymphoma” is the deadliest.  Knowing God is on her side she is taking full advantage of her great musical situation with being Ryan Leslie’s newest sensation.

Gearing up for her upcoming album, and her new mixtape that is dropping soon (she discusses within the interview), Krys is ready to show the vocal range and musical knowledge she has acquired at such a young age.  Being a “preacher’s kid” growing up with her parents both in ministry, Krys has the respect for life and music that will prove key in her success through navigating in this endeavor she’s about to take through the industry.  We would like to thank Ryan Leslie, NextSelection/Universal, KLPRGroup & of course Krys Ivory for granting us the exclusive interview during recording.  Definitely Socialiteis approved!

Gotham Hall was the scene for the N.A.A.C.P.’s NBA Legends & Legacy Event.  This prestigious event brought out the who’s who from basketball and beyond to honor those who came before us and those who are now paving the way in another avenues after they have gone on from basketball and their known fields.

Socialiteis was honored to receive an invitation to cover the exclusive event and be able to bring you exclusive photos from the red carpet.   Here are some of the photos from the red carpet, now this time around we thought we would do something different and let you guess the names of the celebrities and stars…those who you do not know, feel free to leave a comment asking who is who and we will supply the names… Enjoy!

HINT: She was a rapper, now a profound author!

HINT: He's an NBA Legend!

HINT: He use to be an NBA star!

HINT: He's an NFL star!

HINT: He's an NBA Legend & now the Mayor of Sacramento!

HINT: He's the owner of F1GMedia (The firm which owns this site!)

HINT: She's signed to Atlantic Records & you've seen in collabo with a few rappers!

HINT: He's the lead singer in a rock band signed to Atlantic Records!

HINT: She's graced the covers and pages of many publications & calendars!

Overall, this night was filled with the who’s who from sports, music and business.  The N.A.A.C.P. along with NBA CARES put this night together to celebrate African American achievement in the aforementioned fields and also in celebration of the N.A.A.C.P.’s 100th year anniversary.  There was not better way to celebrate that amazing triumph than the gathering of accomplished African American new and old within the exclusive Gotham Hall in NYC.  Definitely Socialiteis approved!

Set on top of the K-Swiss building, attendees were greeted with waiters, waitresses and bartenders all dressed in the latest all white K-Swiss tennis and athletic apparel.  Not to mention beautiful all white leather lounge chairs, couches, high tables and one long bar in all white…stacked with nothing but Patron!  A social drinkers dream!   Lol   The finger foods were a mixture of meat delicatessen & gourmet dishes which were excellent we might add.

Just as NY’s Who’s Who were mingling and having their fill of drinks and food, an announcement was made that everyone go one floor under the roof to their seats where the runway show was about to start.  The runway and seats were set up in traditional NY Fashion Week style, let the show begin….

The night was a complete success socially and fashion-wise.  K-Swiss definitely receives the Socialiteis approval for a well put together event as well as the coordination of the fashions for the attendees.  Lastly, who would not have fun at event with excellent food and Patron to wash it down with!  Socialiteis Approved!

Upon receiving the invitation to cover this event, we at Socialiteis knew it would be an affair of extreme eloquence and taste.  This event did not steer us wrong.  Upon entering the venue (Pranna Restaurant), attendees were greeted by 2 editions of the latest Ducati motorcycle performance vehicles.  Then when inside treated to open bar, delicious finger foods with a hint of Mediterranean cuisine.  Within a moment’s notice Carla Gugino (On the Cover of the issue) was walking the red carpet and cameras flashing everywhere.  This event was to celebrate the highly decorated magazine of New York for the taste maker, socialite/ in the know crowd amongst NY’s elite within fashion, business & film.   Definitely Socialiteis approved!

The attendees enjoying a night of networking, coversing and eating amongst peers waiting for the woman of the hour Ms. Carla Gugin0 (American Gangster, Entourage).

The presentation looked way better before our staff started getting a hold of it…The spicy curry pizza slices were excellent!

Our camera man was the first to snap the shot of Ms. Gugino as she was given a beautiful bouquet of flowers upon entering.

A special thank you to New York Moves magazine for graciously inviting us to cover this exclusive event.

Socialiteis takes you on an exclusive look into the 5th ave. Club located in Saks Fifth Avenue.  This ultra exclusive club was the scene for the unveiling of a new Mont Blanc collection o f  watches, accessories & of course the new writing instruments.

Montblanc Pure Brown Traveling bag

Oh you thought MontBlanc just did watches & accessories?  You thought wrong.  Review what the brand has to offer…everything they have may surprise you.

A quality magazine and some nice wine sounds like a good Thursday night

The crowd was definitely impressed with the MontBlanc timepieces and exhibit.

Brett from GQ did an excellent job informing the crowd on the intricate pieces.

For the man who likes to look professional in the classiest manner.

The image above says it all.  Classy and stated elegantly.  We at Socialiteis approve!!!

This event showed the best of the best within watches, accesories and clothing.  Some of New York’s fashion & jeweler crowd were in attendance to witness the pieces.   The night was filled with fine wine and finger food that was excellent. The atmospeher was relaxed and electric with the viewing of the new items.  GQs ponsored another great event.  Socialiteis Approved!!

We here at Socialiteis have agreed that we have to bend our rule a little and instead of the week, give Kim Kardashian the “Spotlight Socialite of the Month”.  There was debate going back and forth amongst the staff due to her introduction into the limelight, however, this Armenian & Iranian beauty has turned her moment of fame into a full fledged career.  Kim Kardashion, born in LA, has not only graced numerous magazine editorial shoots but also co-owns the boutique Dash, steals the show everytime she is on screen with the reality show “Keeping up with the Kardashians”, and has released a series of workout videos which have skyrocketed to #1.   She has rightfully earned the slot of “Spotlight Socialite of the Month” honors.  So Kim, congrats and much continued success.

Kym Gold-Lubell (former owner/head designer of True Religion Jeans) walks us through her new collection of clothing titled BABAKUL. Kym & her partner Sophia were more than gracious in giving us an interview and in-depth look at the reasoning behind the line; as well as some valuable information about securing a brand.  Designers and owners of brands pay attention!  Her line is Hamptons summer ready as well as business/night life appropriate.  Babakul has a great diversity as you saw within the video.  Definitely Socialiteis Approved!

ANI SHOWS US SELECTED PIECES FROM HER LINE KarAni

LA native Ani Karapetian shows off her stylish, eclectic & diverse new line KarAni.  Ani was more than willing to take us on a intricate look at not only her clothing but the fabric and materials that make them unique.  Ani gives insight on to what type of woman her line was made to cater to. “KarAni is for the woman who knows her body and stands apart in a crowd.”  Ani began her designing with Rock & Republic and then moved on to become the design assistant for Jenny Han.  However, she still wanted the freedom to create the pieces she envisioned and so, KarAni was born.  Her pieces are great due to the intricacy in mixing fabrics as well as design.  Socialiteis approved!

KarAni setup table in the showroom.

OWNER DOLORES GILL SHOWS US THE UNIQUE STYLES OF DIRTY DOG JEANS

Dirty Dog Jeans is a brand that is redefining denim in every aspect from the zipper placement, to the cut of the jeans to the overall appearance of the line itself.  Upon looking at the clothing brand they stood out immediately.  There is a European feel to an American brand that has not been seen in years.  This line pushes fashion & creativity to the edge, making sure the look is not overshadowed by the uniqueness.  Dolores Gill, owner & designer of the brand, aims to “provide denim that promotes diversity, quality and social awareness.”   The clothing shows just that!…Socialiteis Approved!

Dirty Dog Jeans press kit (That crest is sick!!!)

Collie line ( You can choose which zippers you choose to unzip), we believe based upon the weather you will choose different zippers.  Did you notice the chain hanging low as well?  Yeah these are some serious jeans!

The Dirty Dog label

We at Socialiteis like to refer to items like this as Show Stoppers.  Yes you are seeing correct, the jeans zip from front to back!  These are the ultimate jeans for the fashion forward or tastemakers.  We have the staff here at Socialiteis clammering over these jeans and who will be the first to obtain a pair of these.

Dirty Dog Jeans jewelry (Each piece of jewelry is inspired by the owner’s travels and discoveries of other cultures).  The jewelry holds timeless pieces of agriculture &style.

The unique zipper line of the Dirty Dog Jeans jacket.   The whole line is absolutely original and very style forward.

Based in Portland, ME the line contains, gull bags, shadow boxes, pillows, slip covers, knot coasters & nautical coasters.   The two in-house designers Stephanie Moran & Amanda Forgit teamed to create theis eco-friendly line.  The designers are extremely knowledgeable regarding their materials and extremely talented as far as what they can create from the sail material

Before we start commenting and writing about what led to this one word description of the famed award show, we figured let’s at least show some pictures from the red carpet…

Hayden Panettiere

Anna Faris

Megan Fox

Taylor Lautner

Zachary Quinto

Zac Efron

Soulja Boy

Taraji Henson

Malin Akerman

Ok, so now that our blogging duty is out of the way as far as showing the red carpet pics, let’s get back to the matter at hand.   The reason this year’s MTV Movie Awards was the most awkward ever.  From the off-beat host (Who we actually like outside of this awards show) whose jokes and wit of humor were not really gotten by the crowd to the forever in infamy Bruno/Eminem moment this show never had a comfortable feel.  These next few images will show some of the highlights of the awkward moments at this year’s award show…

Bruno landing on Eminem and giving Em a view he did not appreciate…hence the next picture

Em & entourage leaving after the Bruno incident..Does Em look happy to you?

Huh?! Only on MTV! SOH (Shaking Our Heads)

Kiefer Sutherland in the midst of his way too long Dramatic roasting of Ben Stiller as he helps in presenting Ben the MTV Generation Award

The Terrible Three: Kiefer Sutherland/Triumph/Zac Efron all combine to give the most uncomfortable acknowledging of Ben Stiller’s 20 years in the industry

Ben tries to smile while still taking in the roasting he just received before accepting the MTV Generation Award: Is this the happy face of a man who usually receives a generation award?

And the absolute clincher (However we did find it kind of funny): LeAnn Rimes,Chris Isaak & Forest Whitaker!! singing D _CK In A Box!!! How did they get them to agree to that?!!

So overall this year’s 2009 MTV Movie Awards was as uncomfortable to watch and sometimes insulting to intelligence as it was for Eminem to have another man’s butt in his face!  We feel this year, MTV went a little too far; censorship is always exercised with subject content way less than this and yet MTV was allowed to basically do every vulgar, insulting and demoralizing thing they felt possible.  The writing was horrible and the skits were poorly planned…Socialiteis gives this year’s award show a C- at best.

Amber Rose in all her glory
