MG Media: New R&B Artist – Tracie Josephine

28 Dec, 2009  |  Fabulush NYC Events
YAY for Music Mondays!!

I wanted to introduce to you dahlings, an R&B artist that I have been working with:

Tracie Josephine

About the Artist:

“Music lives with me. It has invaded my thoughts and is the pioneer to my dreams just as God is the captain to my ship, I’m the passenger on his wings. The only thing that’s free and all over me, music has kidnapped me and made me its own now that I have it I must share it with the world.”

When it comes to music, there’s no denying the passion and drive for it all. Singer/Songwriter Tracie-Josephine’s love for music began at a very young age on a small island known as Grenada singing solos in church.

She relocated to New York at age 18 to further pursue her dreams of creating music for a living. Her eclectic musical influences stem from Michael Jackson to Cold Play, from Bob Marley to Marvin Gaye, from Lauryn Hill to Joss Stone.

Writing poetry as well comes easily in her belief for it releases untapped emotions coming from the soul of personal experiences and relations and plainly for the fulfillment and enjoyment of others. Her direction as far as the future is to formulate feel good music with substance and reason.

“I want to become the next prodigy, my heart races for that raw soul, r&b music; I am relentless on making it far, it is destined for me, music lives with me, I couldn’t deny music if I tried!”

Tracie-Josephine

Tracie recently recorded a new song that she wrote, “Dangerous” and I love the way it sounds! I wanted to share a rough cut version of this sweet song for you, because many of us can relate to the vocal story that she is sharing…

Please take a listen to an unedited clip of Tracie’s new song “Dangerous” -

TURN-IT-UP!!!

I love it when she sings - “How does it feel when I walk away…how does it feel when you lose your place…” UGH, I have sooo been thru this before!!!

Share your thoughts, dahlings! XOXO

An Undercover Starlet Giveaway! Plus NYC Events Tom ;-)

18 Dec, 2009  |  Fabulush NYC Events

My very dear friend Tanille, creative director of Undercover Starlet™, has generously teamed up with Midtown Girl to giveaway 2 items from her uber-pretty collection!

Each is a lovely gift to yourself or for a friend!
Undercover Starlet™ is a chic, urban brand that represents the best independent, creative vision has to offer. Tanille is the creative director of the collection, and she fashions to make young women feel as good as they look with beautiful cottons, bright colors, and feel good emblems. Tanille’s edgy personality and exuberant creativity burst through Undercover Starlet™ clothing and books.

All of our garments are handcrafted from the hand pressing of the shirt emblems to the hand sewn adornments. Our clothes consist of high quality cottons made in America. Our products are made sweatshop-free. We take very much care when designing and creating Undercover Starlet™ Brand clothes and products so that each customer feels like a starlet when wearing our clothes or reading our books.

Undercover Starlet, Starlet Journal

The mission of Undercover Starlet™ is what sparked the creation of the sassy Starlet Journal, the first book from our brand which provides inspirational reading on feeling good and taking care of your health written by Tanille and Dr. Latoya Edwards, as well as space for creative thought expression in the diary portion of the book where owners use Starlet Journal to write out their thoughts and feelings.

Limited Edition: Undercover Starlet Party Dress

Feel good and party right in this soft cotton dress that stretches to fit your curves. This dress can be worn off both shoulders, off one shoulder or on both shoulders. Get creative with the ribbon tie on the left shoulder included with the dress. Let everyone know you’re a star with the Starlet imprint embellished in only the finest Swarkovski crystals!

Sweet Sundays with a Daffy’s Giveaway!

5 Dec, 2009  |  Fabulush NYC Events
Happy Sunday Dolls!
The weekend in NYC has been rainy & cold so far. It feels more like a Nov Fall than Dec Holiday Season, but at least we can grab a caramel brulee latte from Sbux & stay dry while holiday shopping indoors.
And speaking of Holiday Shopping…

Daffy’s Media Peeps asked MG to get reader’s opinions on a Daffy’s commercial that was recently shown to moviegoers at the Ziegfeld Theatre in Manhattan.

The commercial consisted of an onscreen presentation that combined a real-life dance performance by creative agency Johannes Leonardo.

I’ve actually never seen anything like it before and thought it was an uber-creative way of marketing. For the giveaway, all you dahlings have to do is watch the video below and give your opinion on it. And that’s it!

One winner will receive a $50 Gift Card to Daffy’s!!!

Rules – Super simple:
  • Watch the Daffy’s video above;
  • Leave a comment sharing your thoughts on the concept.
Giveaway ends Sun 12/13;
One winner will be chosen via random.org;
Winner will be announced Mon 12/14.

Just so you lovelies know: I am not getting paid to endorse Daffy’s. I just wanted to share a opportunity for my fabulush readers to win something for the Holiday Season!

Sunday kissies,
