“And, when you want something,

all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

— Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist)

It’s been quite the second year and I’d be telling a fib to say I was expecting it — because I wasn’t.

Sometimes, when one door closes, or more than one door closes, we are lucky and blessed enough to have a few more that open. And it’s like Mr. Coelho said, if you want it bad enough, if you try hard enough — well, I believe him, something has got to give.

Little Pink Blog is a community, and some really wonderful people helped make it happen from friendships, to advice, to being professional pals, study buddies or a shoulder to cry on — make no mistake, I didn’t do this alone — and to them, I am grateful. The simple truth of the matter is that in 3-months we had 6,000 unique visitors, 2-years later I’m humbled and in awe of the 30,000 that appreciate all things LPB! Y’all rock my pink socks :)

Regardless, from Miami to New York and back and then there again it’s been an adventure… and while, I would love to share all my photos of my first year in New York City and my blog’s second year on the planet, I had to be economical in this post…mostly… well I tried!

Happy Birthday to me!
Happy Birthday to me!
Happy SECOND Birthday to my Little Pink Blog,
– Happy Birthday to me! :)

And the story starts here… [but if you're desperate for the giveaway feel free to scroll]

I got the chance to visit Fashion Week in Lincoln Center and guess who I met? [Read more...]

Urban Legends and Myths of Web 2.0

At the 2010 Mashable Summit, I had the pleasure of listening to CollegeHumor.com’s founder Ricky Van Veen share tips he’s learned since his website’s inception about Internet content.

He made a lot of good points and a lot of his tips hold true for what just more than just blogging, I think they can certainly apply to the physical realm as well [Read more...]

Are All Bloggers REALLY Male?

32

via WeHeartIt

Last week I read this article in the Globe and Mail by Margaret Wente that talked about people having opinions, stating opinions online and how most bloggers (in the sense of what blogging really is) happen to be male.

I’m sorry, did I suddenly grow facial hair, have my Betty Draper bits disappear and suddenly don bits of the Don?

huh? [Read more...]

{Rules of PR no.35} 5 Reasons Your Mailing Lists Suck

7

Amanda Seyfried as Karen Smith in 'Mean Girls.'

Have you ever attended a professional event as a member of the press, blogger, or writer of some kind and the means of communicating the event’s updates were sent to you via e-mail?

That’s all well and good, right? Except when the event was over, you found that some random public relations person had decided to throw you and your e-mail on to a new mailing list that covers ALL of their clients…because apparently they have like ESPN or something and assume you really want to write about all these random people.

As I said previously, oblivious mass e-mailing is wrong — well this offense is right up there with [Read more...]

Facebook killed the MySpace star and now it’s after the Tweeple

{CLICK for musica – Facebook killed the MySpace star and now it’s after the Tweeple} 

Keep your friends close and your enemies on limited profile because Facebook sets motion to the death of Twitter….but Twitter isn’t dead, thank goodness, yet!

It’s okay to link your Facebook page to your Twitter account, but not the other way around.

I used to be an advocate of the “#fb” Selective Twitter Status application on Facebook which links my Twitter to my Facebook. Then the dumb application stopped working and after I tried about four times to contact the guy who created it with no such luck – I gave up.

And like I told @SteffanAntonas in a very thought provoking discussion about target audiences, after reading, “Status Culture – Public vs Private and Why It Matters,” I’m very glad.

My Selective Twitter breaking is probably the best thing to happen because [Read more...]

Gen-Y & the Social Media Revolution

UPDATE: July 13, 2010
With the 2010 version of the Social Media Revolution video
***

From a Gen-Y, to the non-Millennial population I present you with:-

The Social Media Revolution

You’ve met them, I have too, and they are social media skeptics.

They are the people who think it’s a fad that a bunch of Gen-Y came up with to mindlessly control the rest of the population feeding into their lustful demands of the “right now.”

It’s funny though isn’t it that 250 million people are on Facebook and at least 120 million of them [Read more...]

{iStyle} Making Vogue in Vogue Again

16

By: Jenn Ortiz, {iStyle} Editor


Recently, there have been whisperings about a revamp going on at Vogue. After less than stellar ad sales (the bread and butter of any magazine) for the years biggest issue, it’s evident that not all is well at the Conde Nast crown jewel. According to the revamp rumor, Vogue will be focusing on new models, new photographers, and unpredictability. From what I’ve been seeing, everyone seems to agree that it’s a start. Fashionista asked its readers what they would do if they could change the magazine.

So, I asked myself: How would I change Vogue? [Read more...]

19 Commandments of Blogging

14

Ever since I started my blog, I’ve been asked the question “How do you do it?”

How do I do what?

Well, in the first 10 weeks my blog was open (starting April 13, 2009), the Little Pink Book, has done remarkably well. In its first full month (May 2009) it hit a little over 6,000 unique visitors. Not bad for a newbie.

So, how do I do it? Well, I’ll tell you… [Read more...]
