The great thing about fashion week is that you can bounce from a full on runway show to an artist presenation. Presentations offer the chance to see the pieces up close and personal. It allows the designer to get creative on how best to show off their latest collections. Check out the latest SS 2013 collection from Mathieu Mirano.
I got this email and I thought I would pass it along. A good internship is often hard to come by so if you can find a good one you are in luck. This internship is with Burson -Marsteller over the summer. Just from reading over the details and looking at the tour this is a great opportunity to gain some hands on experience, be in one of the US offices, and be paid for your efforts. Plus the internship is open to graduate students and seniors.
The deadline date for the 2012 U.S Harold Burson Summer Internship Program is next Friday, February 17th.
Information on the Burson Internship
The HBSI Program is instrumental in identifying and acquiring the best and brightest young talent. The Harold Burson Summer Internship (HBSI) Program is a paid internship at one of the U.S. Burson-Marsteller offices. Each intern is assigned to a client team or practice group. During the internship, students work closely with experienced industry professionals. HBSI interns are given the opportunity to work as a team member, while gaining valuable work experience. Colleagues from different specialty areas of Burson-Marsteller conduct seminars for interns each week. Interns are also grouped into teams where they work on a special HBSI project, which they present to a senior management panel for review at the conclusion of the internship. The summer internship offers an invaluable career-development experience that can often lead to an employment opportunity with us after graduation. Information regarding detailed application requirements and FAQs can be found directly on the B-M Global Website,

Last night rapper 2 Chainz performed to a sold out crowed at SOBs in New York. 2 Chainz performed cuts from his mixtape “True Religion” and his verses from several of his features including Superfreak with Young Jeezy and Dufflebag Boy with Lil Wayne. The crowd was hype and 2 Chainz was really appreciative of the support that he as an Atlanta rapper was being shown in NYC [the Mecca of hip hop]
Opening the show was newcomer Marcus Manchild along side Houston natives Paul Wall and Slim Thug.
At the end of the night the crowd was treated to a pleasant surprise when hip hop legend Raekwon took to the stage to congratulate 2 Chainz on his success and officially let him know that he was “good” in NYC.
This concert definitely reminded me how hectic entertainment PR can be. From getting the artist to the venue on time, fueling the media interview request, making sure items on the rider are provided, making sure photographers get their shoots, and the list goes. When all of these forces come together it makes for a great show.

As we celebrate the life and times of Martin Luther King Jr. it’s always good to do a little refresher course on why this civilian man has a national holiday. Use this day to learn a something about this man, this Nobel Peace prize winner. Often times the history books don’t tell the full story. A quick Google search can provide you with a wealth of knowledge.
[WATCH]
This is just a snippet of the speech that was given before he was assassinated.

You may also want to find a copy of his book Stride toward Freedom
Or this one that I have
Take the time out to read
Whatever you do today just take the time learn a little more about Dr. King and his impact that is still felt today. I know that some use Martin Luther King Jr Day as a day of service, which I think is a good idea. So you can go out and volunteer your time somewhere, find someway to give back.

Last night VIV Mag held their passport to luxury series at Bally Flagship store on Madison Ave. They honored singer Melanie Fiona and designer Kristin Hanson with the VIVMagnificent Woman Humanitarian for their philanthropic endeavors. Publisher Jocelyn Taylor was on hand to present the honorees with their awards. This event was not only to honor these two women but to raise funds for Aksyon Haitian/American arts, fashion and design foundation. Guest were treated to cocktails sponsored by the new Courvoisier Rose’ and the night’s food was catered by Haitian cater Nadege Fleurimond, of Fleurimond Catering, Inc.

VIVMag is a bi-monthly 100% digital interactive lifestyle/luxury magazine targeting women which offers insight, advice and authentic stories to inspire and motivate women in their quest for a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
PR Sidenote: My little PR sidenote for this event is that next time Courvoisier should either do a darker shade of pink for their logo the step and repeat or go with a black step and repeat banner. It was a little hard to see the logo.
Networking tip: Open bar events don’t drink too much. Events sponsored by magazines offers great opportunities to meet with editors, publishers, and photographers. Always bring enough business cards or if you are going the paperless route make sure your phone is well charged so you can exchange information that way.

The room was filled with will men and women from various industries. I spotted tables for Google and Facebook. I was glad to have the chance to attend it offered a chance to network and learn what other women were doing in their respective industries. It was also served as great motivation.
“There is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women”- Madeleine Albright
During the award segment the honorees were asked questions related to their industry here is what they had to say.
Lauren Crampsie the Chief Marketing Officer
Ogilvy was asked “Why should agencies promote themselves?”- We are brands too. So as a brand you have to promote yourself. As chief marketing officer I work to bridge the gab.
Cindy Davis EVP-Global Customer Insights Wal-Mart Stores was asked about Wal-Mart working with Nielsen – “Expanded relationship with Nielsen gives insight on unmet needs. With two hundred million customers insight is needed and a lot of data is collected.”
Carolyn EversonVP-Global Ad Sales Facebook was asked what is Facebook true brand?- “Mission is to connect the world have opportunity to share the world places n things. All about human interaction.”
Lesya Lysyj CMO Heineken USA was asked what is the brand strategy.- ” Agency client relationship. Knowing when to add the art and when to apply the science.”

Nicola Mendelsohn President The Institute of Practitioners in Advertising Chairman and Partner,
Karmarama was asked about networking “Networking is on only the beginning of the conversation. Never go through life thinking I should’ve done this.” She told story about meeting Phillip Green and how she could not let the opportunity to speak with him go by. She had to take that chance. Think of long-term when it comes to networking.” Never miss an opportunity.”
Mary O’Connell Director-Global Digital Media and Public Relations
Clorox on Clorox getting involved in social media – Clorox was a bit slow in entering digital space but when they did they were able to tap into the consumers who really loved their products and wanted to tell them all about it.
Lisa Price Founder and President,Carol’s Daughter on how to keep entrepreneurial spirit alive – “you sometimes have to get out of the process.” Stay as authentic, get out of your comfort zone but don’t lose yourself. No one can treat your baby the way you do but you can teach them n tell them your story so they understand where you come from. Remember the small victories they make the big ones even better.

About Billionaire Girls Club and Love & Labels:
Billionaire Girls Club was founded by stylist, Victoria Paul, in Long Island, NY in April 2006, as a knitwear and vintage tee clothing company. Love & Labels was later introduced to offer contemporary and couture closet staples to carry consumers from season to season. Think….the grunge, grime and glamour from 90s fashion brought back with vengeance. L & L’s faux-fur coats, battered boots, and shredded explicit T-Shirts have a more sophisticated edge. BGC for Love & Labels apparel can best be described as a modern lifestyle brand for the new generation.
