Pay Per Tweet

Twitter has become the go to news source of social networks. C'mon, let's face it.  It is what it is.  If you want to know about anything worthy of discussing in the media or elsewhere (for that matter), you can almost bet someone in the twitterverse is talking about it and if you can get a celebrity to talk about it...then all the better.

This weekend I did a little window shopping, but I should have known better because when it comes to window shopping, it usually turns into a purchase.  This past weekend was no different.

It's Monday and if you're feeling anything like me, you feel revived, fresh, inspired, and bold!  There is nothing like coming off the weekend feeling like you can conquer the week ahead and get done the things that need your attention, and what better way to start the week off than by looking fierce!

Sally Hansen Salon Effects

If you've read my previous post on Sally Hansen and how I love the brand, then you'll know that trying their Salon Effects nail polish strips was not that far off.  I've always been curious about applying the decorative strips to my nails, but never put any serious effort in to giving it a try...until last night.

People's Choice Awards 2012

I absolutely love this time of year!  It's awards season and if you are like me you love to be front and center to catch it all from the fashion, the couples, the winners (and losers), and the deets on the swanky after parties.  Yep, it's the time of year when Hollywood is on fire and our favorite shows, movies, musicians, and celebrities are celebrated for their dedication and hard work.

Twitterverse or Stalkerverse Sherri Shepherd Says Stop

Social media.  It is what it is or sometimes it is what it aint ( I know "aint" is not a word, but it just helps my point to flow better).  If you have a pulse you know social media networks like Facebook and Twitter have practically changed the way the world communicates.  It also opens the door for exposure and for people who don't know any better to openly give their personal information in a post like we live in a world full of daises and sunflowers.

My 2012 vision journal

I love creating vision boards.  I have been creating them every year for the past three years now. Earlier this week I was catching up on my blog reading and read a post on Love Brown Sugar where she shared a few of her readers vision boards. There were two that stood out to me; they were vision journals.

She's Making IT Happen - Masha Dowell

One of my goals this year for Media & Stilettos is to spotlight women who are making IT happen, so I created the "She's Making IT Happen" feature.  This weekly feature focuses on a woman who stepped out on faith to follow her heart in making her dreams come true.  I'm a strong believer in how we all have the power to inspire each other and by reading someone's story who is brave enough to make IT happen can in turn inspire us. So without further adieu, I introduce you to Masha Dowell!

La La Anthony Launches Makeup Line

To be a celebrity and to attach your name to a product to build your brand in to a household name is...well...genius. If I was a celebrity I would put my name on everything from Tupperware to dental floss (hey...don't judge me). Some who don't understand the dynamics of branding will never understand the power of it and how it can help create a legacy that will forever be around long after you're gone.

Cee Lo Green's Bold Change

Sigh!  We should all know by now that we live in a very sensitive society and if we are involved in or with the media anything that is said runs the chance of being taken the wrong way and torn apart only to be put back together misconstrued.  Sad, but true.

I grew up hearing Diana Ross' voice come from the radio speakers or seeing her sway and give it her all on stage.  After watching Mahogany for the first time, I was convinced this lady who is lovingly known as "The Boss" is a legend.  This photo captured her class, poise, style, and grace. Simply beautiful.
