My wishes were granted, Red Velvet Lounge opens this week in New York City
One night in college I was out to dinner with a few friends. We decided to get dessert and a cocktail before heading out. Being the sweet tooth that I am, I thought to myself...There is nothing better than cake and cocktails!Apparently I am not the only one that thought this. This Thursday is the soft opening of RED VELVET!
Jason Lawrence and Cole Bernard (of The Eldridge) have taken the two most popular things in New York City (cupcakes and fancy drinks) and are opening Red Velvet on Rivington Street. Mixologist Charlotte Voisey has created booze infused cupakes with the help of Cupcakes by Melissa. I am SO excited to try the Jameson spiked Espresso cupcake with an Espresso Martini. All they need to do now is hire an amazing DJ (check out Southside for employees hint hint), and then this venue will definitely be number one in the hearts of every girl in NYC!

5 things that put you in the holiday spirit!
Here are my top 5 things to put you in the HOLIDAY SPIRIT!
1) GO SKATING UNDER THE TREE!
Yes, it is a bit cliche. So is opening gifts, and you still do that! There is something about being under a giant tree, ice skating, and New York City that is all so magical!
2) ELF YOURSELF!
It makes you laugh to see yourself as an elf...and it makes your friends laugh! So do it! Watch mine here
3) Get a holiday drink at Starbucks
Nothing makes you feel more Jolly in the office than a Peppermint Mocha Latte...and if you are really in the holiday spirit...buy one for the person behind you!4) Go to Santacon
3,000+ people dressed like Santa...enough said!
5) DONATE
Nothing puts you in a better holiday spirit than helping others less fortunate. You can donate your time at a food shelter, donate blood, donate toys, or donate to The world Race (hint hint)...The point is...This is the season to give!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

THE OTIS FUNKMEYER BAND
The Otis Funkmeyer Band Featuring Leslie Rochelle is a nine-piece deep funk ensemble from New York City. Otis’s sound is heavily influenced by the funk and raw soul from the sixties and seventies, and seeks to retain the qualities found in that music: the visceral emotion of the vocalists, the dance-ability and musicianship of the grooves, and the raw, live feel of the engineering. Rather than simply copying the artists they emulate, Otis Funkmeyer pushes the boundaries of the genre with original compositions that are personal and unique. Through soul-bearing lyrical expression and experimentation in sound, The Otis Funkmeyer Band picks up right where vintage raw funk left off.

A little bit about Bead for Life:
The event is an exciting opportunity to learn more about and support impoverished Ugandan women who are lifting their families out of poverty with their handmade, high-quality beaded jewelry, featured on NBC Nightly News, in O Magazine, Vanity Fair, Family Circle and other publications.
The event will also feature drink specials and teeshirts for sale to raise more donations. The teeshirts can be decorated and “graffitied” at the event says Jessi Marquez.
BeadforLife is a socially responsible global organization, working with women, all of whom were living on less than $1 a day in extreme poverty. Like extremely poor people worldwide our members have experienced many sorrows and difficulties. Yet they remain strong, resilient, and hopeful for a better life. Based in North America and Uganda, BFL has partnered with industrious women who make vivid beaded jewelry out of recycled paper. The 300 members of BFL support almost 5,000 others to climb out of poverty.
“BeadforLife’s philosophy is that people want jobs rather than handouts. We focus on ways for people to leave poverty behind forever,” says BFL Co- Director Devin Hibbard. “The beaders are incredibly hardworking, and every dollar they make goes into critical things, like sending children to school, paying for health care, and saving to build a home.”
The beaders’ work has been sold at thousands of home parties and businesses and community-sponsored events around the world. All net profits from BFL sales are invested in projects that fight extreme poverty, primarily in three key areas: health, affordable housing, and vocational training for impoverished youth, and entrepreneurial development through micro credit for small businesses.

Toms Shoes
ONE FOR ONE
TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we're all about.
OUR STORY
In 2006 an American traveler, Blake Mycoskie, befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by caring TOMS customers.
Since our beginning, TOMS has given over 150,000* pairs of shoes to children in need through the One for One model. Because of your support, TOMS plans to give over 300,000 pairs of shoes to children in need around the world in 2009.
Our ongoing community events and Shoe Drop Tours allow TOMS supporters and enthusiasts to be part of our One for One movement. Join us.
WHY SHOES?
Most children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or just getting around, these children are at risk.
Walking is often the primary mode of transportation in developing countries. Children can walk for miles to get food, water, shelter and medical help. Wearing shoes literally enables them to walk distances that aren't possible barefoot.
Wearing shoes prevents feet from getting cuts and sores on unsafe roads and from contaminated soil. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected. The leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted parasites which penetrate the skin through open sores. Wearing shoes can prevent this and the risk of amputation.
Many times children can't attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they don't have shoes, they don't go to school. If they don't receive an education, they don't have the opportunity to realize their potential.
There is one simple solution...SHOES.
Of the planet's six billion people, four billion live in conditions inconceivable to many. Lets take a step towards a better tomorrow.

Glamours Women of the Year awards was one of the most inspirational nights
Last night I had the honor to help out at the Glamour Magazine Women of the Year awards. It was one of the most inspirational nights of my life. The entire audience clapped and cried during the speeches of these amazing women.Even for a venue as grand as New York's Carnegie Hall, there was a pretty dazzling concentration of star power at Glamour magazine's Women of the Year awards.Pop star Rihanna was there, in the most body-hugging of gowns. 
Tennis star Serena Williams was there, too, in a bright red, one-shoulder number. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were presenters; so were Katie Couric and former President Bill Clinton.And there were not one but three Beatle wives.But the biggest ovation at Monday evening's award ceremony went to the 81-year-old poet Maya Angelou, whose soaring words on the power of womanhood brought many to tears and nearly everyone to their feet.
Women, Angelou told the crowd in her speech, "are rainbows in the clouds.""I am grateful to be a woman," said Angelou, who won the lifetime achievement award. "I must have done something great in another life." As for the men: "You have to write your own poem," the poet said to laughter, including from Clinton, the man who had called upon her to recite poetry at his inauguration.The annual Glamour Women of the Year awards always honor a group of eclectic women, and this year was no exception.One of the evening's most emotional moments was the award to pediatrician Jane Aronson, who works to better the lives of orphans overseas and founded the Worldwide Orphans Foundation. 
She was in tears after Couric introduced her, even more so when surprised onstage by a group of her "kids," children from foreign countries, now adopted by American families."You know I've never had a surprise party," she said. "Until tonight."She got a standing ovation, as did the Iranian women of the One Million Signatures Campaign, introduced by CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour. The women are working toward gender equality in Iran.Model Iman, who presented Rihanna's award, referred to the singer's ordeal early this year, when she was assaulted by boyfriend and fellow singer Chris Brown. Rihanna initially returned to Brown but said last week that she regrets it, because it sent the wrong message to her fans. Brown has pleaded guilty to felony assault."Now I am even more impressed with her dignity and courage," Iman said, noting that Rihanna would serve as a role model to victims of domestic violence.Other honorees recently in the headlines were Laura Ling and Euna Lee, the American TV journalists who were arrested in North Korea and sentenced to 12 years hard labor after briefly crossing the border from China.They were pardoned in early August after a trip to Pyongyang by Clinton, who also mentioned the ordeal in his remarks, calling the day of their release one of the happiest of his life.Also honored was fashion designer Stella McCartney. Her dad, Paul McCartney, wasn't there, but Stella was shocked to see three Beatle wives presenting her award: Yoko Ono, widow of John Lennon; Olivia Harrison, widow of George; and Ringo Starr's wife, Barbara Starkey.
