Happy International Women's Day

Why Women Cry

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him. 

"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will." 

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?" 

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say. 

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

NYFW x MAO INTERNSHIP

I applied for an internship position at MAO PR in New York City not really knowing whether or not they would accept my application. A few days go by and the next thing you know I’m doing phone interviews and getting my NYFW (New York Fashion Week) schedule sent to me! Everything was happening so fast… but I loved it!

On my first day in New York I decided that I should get familiar with my new route to work as the last thing I wanted was to be late. So, I get dressed in some casual attire and set off on my transit journey. It took me about half an hour to get from my home in Spanish Harlem to the busy streets of Manhattan which was perfect. (A huge upgrade from my 2 hour commute from my home in Brampton to my workplace Downtown Toronto!)

So I’m standing on the cobble stone street admiring the scenery, Alexander McQueen store at my back and DVF on my right. I was in fashion heaven! I decided to go up to my office and introduce myself and I definitely was not prepared for what was going to happen next…

FASHION WEEK x MAO PR x THE BLONDS

Ummmmmmmmmmmm, so I was blessed with the chance to work with one of my top 5 FAV designers of this year! The Blonds!! Working along side of Phillipe and David "Blond" had to be one of the biggest highlights of my life... I was interning with MAO PR, and was able to help put together shows like Rochambeau and The Blonds. 

I had the chance to meet and work with such amazing people! I learned so much from the designers, PR company, and the other interns... To all the LD readers continue to dream, please do not second guess yourself or be intimidated by anyones negativity... When you work hard you will make your dreams a reality! 

Here are some photos from fashion week...

Dash's Notebook: How to get what YOU want!

Okay, so I admit I can be pretty stubborn and I love to get what I want, when I want it... But then again, Who doesn't?

Now, because I like what I want when I want it of courrsseee I would write down The Top 12 MOST PERSUASIVE words in the English language!

Here they are:

1. YOU

Surprised? Probably not... We all like to be acknowledged and appreciated. Now, be very careful, this word can be a little tricky. It can either get you what you want or a major beat down. Be sure not to use this word with an accusatory tone or you'll never get what you want... and I mean EVER!

What are the remaining eleven words on the Most Persuasive Words List?

2. Money

3. Save

4. New

5. Results

6. Health

7. Easy

8. Safety

9. Love

10. Discovery

11. Proven

12. Guarantee

Challenge: Try incorporating these words into your immediate vocabulary and see if it makes a difference.

Anddd... If anyone ends up getting a Black on Black Bentley Coupe out of it... Please let me know because I absolutely LOVE that car and by allowing me to drive it (all of the time) YOU will SAVE MONEY since YOU won't have to pay for gas. Plus it is PROVEN that the less YOU drive the more YOU can protect your HEALTH and SAFETY. This DISCOVERY has GUARENTEED RESULTS and the NEW precautionary method can be done in one EASY step; Just give the car to me!

LOL ;)
