I'm Back!!!!

Hello everyone, 

               

I know I haven’t written a post in a long time just been busy with so much stuff. Here’s a recap of my chain of events from the past year; I found the love of my life Stephen in January of last year and we are engaged.

               Anyways I have experienced so many new things from 2014 such as going to the NFL Draft, which I will be posting pictures all about that soon. As well as working in an entertainment public relations firm with reality TV stars. I was the 3^rd place runner up for the Stoli Vodka competition once again; I also had the opportunity of doing promotional modeling work with Stoli Vodka. Can’t wait to share that with all of my followers. 

            Fast forward a few months I went to Arizona, which was my first plane, ride ever and then ventured over to Vegas, which was the time of my life. I won so much money and took lots of pictures. Then, I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication from Monmouth University and accepted a part-time news editor job at news station, which I won’t disclose. Well hopefully, everyone is ready for a fun filled post of “THE RCE (Red Carpet Experience) because I have so much to share with you all. Stay tuned….

Offspring's of the Cast of Jersey Shore

PacificCoastNews.com

The cast of Jersey Shore seems to be getting busy lately and I don’t mean with making shows but with making babies. When we first heard that Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was pregnant with her first child Lorenzo over a year ago everyone thought that it couldn’t be true however, when she gave birth to her son on August 26^th questions became about was Snooki fit to be a mother.

After, how she portrayed herself on the seasons of Jersey Shore as the main drunk one always getting arrested, causing a scene on the beach, in the local bars and the list goes on and on. But, we can clearly say now she has proven herself tremendously, she is a great mother, she would do anything for her child.

Then, we recently found out another member of the cast DJ Pauly D was a father of a beautiful baby girl and now their Jennifer “JWoww” Farley who has recently announced she and her finance Roger Matthews were expecting their first child, which will be here in the summer of 2014. First, I like to congratulate her on the journey of motherhood. I know she will greatly miss her days in the gym in Toms River.

I feel as though this may have never been their plan but with the offspring’s of the cast of Jersey Shore I think we can all agree that there will be several play dates amongst the children.

But besides from play dates I smell something brewing in the creators of Jersey Shore and MTV a possible spinoff show of lives of the offspring’s following the children as they grow into their teen years into adulthood. Definitely would be something worth interesting to watch, they probably won’t be running on the boardwalk wondering where the beach was or getting arrested. I guess we have to wait and see what the future has in store for the offspring’s of the cast of Jersey Shore and who will be next amongst the cast to announce that they are with child.

Clean Water Cause (Liquid Water)

Besides all the great fashions and wonderful vendors at The 2^nd Annual Fashion Compassion Runway Event, the event did benefit a great cause called Liquid Water. This non-profit organization definitely desired a post by itself separate from the event post that I previously wrote about.

            

Let me explain a little bit more about this organization… Liquid Church is a non-denominational Christian church with three locations across New Jersey. They have a passion for bringing clean drinking water to children and families in need in developing nations.  They have drilled dozens of wells and completed projects in Ethiopia, Central African Republic, Uganda, Haiti and El Salvador. They believe a cup of cold water can change the world, one life at a time.

            

They started www.LiquidWater.com as a 501© (3) non-profit to empower ordinary people and other organizations to join the clean water movement. Did you know that 1 in 9 people worldwide still do not have access to clean drinking water?

           

What they have done so far since 2009 through 2012; $713,000 has been invested in the clean water cause from drilling wells, purchasing equipment to supporting a village and helping others. As I mentioned above they have drilled 41 wells, 10 wells have been repaired ad 5 wells are planned for 2013. In El Salvador alone 5 wells were drilled and 3 more wells are planned to be drilled in 2013, in Nicaragua 2 wells are planned to be drilled in 2013, in Hati 4 wells are drilled and 10 wells have been repaired, in Central African Republic 2 wells drilled, in Uganda 3 wells have been drilled and in Ethiopia 27 wells were drilled.

            

They have brought clean water directly to more than 15,000 people drilling and repairing wells and through their partnership with Charity: Water they have donated $100,000 which was used to provide the 4,000 residents of Paclos, Haiti with a spring protection system, BioSand, filters and latrines as well as hygiene training.

The 2nd Annual Fashion Compassion Runway Event

On Friday September 20, I was invited to attend The 2^nd Annual Fashion Compassion Runway Event hosted by Lea Rannells and The Art of Fashion Productions. Lea Rannells is a Fashion Model, Lifestyle Expert, Freelance Writer/Author/Blogger she even specializes in Fashion Event Production & PR as well as being a role model to all women she was even featured as a model on Heidi Klum show Project Runway.

Before the start of the runway show, the event showcased several vendors which included; ChallengerFoods, Genesis Pure, Maddy-Lynn Designs, Independent Distributors, Fibi & Clo, Touchstone Crystal, Ellen’s Eye, Emily’s Designs and Star Doug.

One of the vendors that really touched my heart was Star Dog because there company gives a t-shirt to a child in need, every time one their customer buys a Star Dog shirt. If you like to find out more information on how to purchase one these shirts or just want to find out more information about the company you can visit their website: www.StarDogGives.com 

The event was entertained by League One Music Group, they kept me dancing and singing to everyone beat and song that played. In addition, I like to give a special thanks to their Special Guest Nick Tangorra who is a rising pop rock music sensation. The music group has recently released their album “Teenage Love and Other Stories” and has been selling out shows at major venues lie Digifest and Webster hall NYC with Connor Maynard. You can follow Nick, Rafe, and Will through their facebook: www.facebook.com/NickTangorra, twitter: https://twitter.com/nicktangorra and their website: http://nicktangorra.com/ as well as downloading a  copy of their album on itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/teenage-love-other-stories Overall, I must say this kid vocal cords are very impressive and he is going to go far in the music industry. Check out his video of his hit song "Teenage Love" that I provided below:

The runway show featured fashions from Mandee clothing stores and Jazmin Brown’s Deztani, I must say designers that are in the business now better move over and make room for this talent designer Jazmin Brown because at the age of 15 years old her techniques and vision to create such beautiful is such incredible at her age. Every piece of clothing that was featured on the models caught my eye every single time. This girl is going to have a bright future ahead of her below you can check out some of Jazmin Brown great pieces…

Overall, the event was such amazing experience especially since it was my first fashion show most likely won’t be my last but I definitely wish all the designers and vendors, special guest, entertainment the best of luck as well as the host Lea Rannells for inviting me to experience this great show. 

Most Original Stoli Guy Finale at the Marquee in NYC

                Thursday September 19^th , Stoli and Gaycities hosted the finale of The Most Original Stoli Guy at the Marquee in NYC, 12 finalist from 12 cites  competed to be the most original, passionate, and genuine Stoli guy. Amongst the finalist were Ben from Los Angeles, Jeff from Denver, Jayson from Miami, Billy from Philly, Benjamin from Saugatuck, Chad from New York, Matt from Boston, Nicolas from San Francisco, Matt from San Diego, Keyvin from Dallas, Clif from Washington DC, and Chris from Chicago.

The finalist competed in two events first was the talent competition and the other was the runway show in their Stoli underwear along with a go-go dance for your life and let me just say…..mmmmm well!!!

 Overall, in my opinion, this was such a great night to witness, I honestly had a great time mainly because I got to meet the talent popular underwear designer Andrew Christian as well as watch my new friend Jeff from Colorado compete in the contest and see who Stoli would crown the winner of the most original Stoli guy which I actually competed in NJ but came in second place.

RIP The Style Network!!!

After hearing and reading the devastating news about the style network has been replaced by esquire who is geared towards the minds of men. As a man you would think that I would be excited about a network geared towards men but honestly I am not at all excited but devastated. Like what is going to happen to some of my favorite shows on the style such as Giuliana and Bill, Tia and Tamera, Big Rich Texas and even Jerseylicious. How am I going to admire myself being an extra on the new season of Jerseylicious, when the network has been replace by a stupid men’s geared minded network. Honestly, in my opinion what man is even going to watch this new network, in my eyes this is going to be a complete fail for the NBC company because just like everything new they bring to the table always seems to fail or gets super boring really quick. I am now wondering what’s going to happen to my favorite shows where will they go, will the new season of Jerseylicious ever air, will my friends really believe that I was even on this show when it never made it TV. And another thing of course they wouldn’t cut an already geared men’s channel G4 but let’s cut the only channel that women and all forms of gender actually enjoy watching. Honestly, this is a sad day for every soul who watched the style network!!!

15 Years of Style!!!

My motto in life is the key to success is “NETWORKING” and along with networking you have to be dedicated and motivated to succeed and that’s exactly what I have done with my 22 years of living. So, hopefully you enjoy my newest achievement as I write a blog on mostly everything that I experience. I’m pretty positive The RCE blog will be a big hit and extremely interesting….so enjoy!!!
