Latinas Love Fashion!
I recently had the opportunity to work on the Caress Skinwear Launch for the Hispanic market which included a media tour w/ Colombian pop sensation Fanny Lu and celebrity stylist, Rocco. They were @ Rocco Donna salon on SoBe to give out hot fashion tips which prove that your skin is the ultimate fashion accessory. I had a blast working on this launch with my team as one of my many tasks was picking out cute outfits for the set - and for Fanny Lu! We also built an entire closet from scratch so I’m adding both stylist and carpenter to my resume. It was a fantastic team effort and we pulled some great media coverage.Here are some of their tips for this summer to make sure your skin is looking glam and even-toned…
Look smokin’ on a hot date! 
*A halter, sleeveless or cap-sleeved dress is a perfect date look. Be flirty and show off a low-cut neckline.*Punch up the look with one bold accessory…an eye-catching cocktail ring or layered necklaces will make a statement.
Go off the shoulder!*Want to look sophisticated, but with an edge? For your next night out, rock the one-shoulder look in either a hot dress or a flirty top. *Leave the accessories at home. Aside from earrings, keep the look simple. Tousled or “messy” hair will complete the look perfectly.
Sparkle in jewel tones! *For a special occasion this season, choose a dress or gown in a jewel-inspired color, and shimmer in deep purple, garnet, emerald or sapphire.*Complete the look and feel regal in ruby, sapphire or amethyst jewels. For simple elegance, wear diamond stud earrings—even if they’re faux.
Time to wear shorts! 
*Bring on the fun in the sun, put on a pair of classic summer shorts. For a more casual style, wear long and bright shorts, and for a more elegant and summer-type look, wear short shorts with a colorful blouse. *Play up your look with a pair of 4-inch heels or platform shoes, a fabulous thick belt or a cute cardigan with lots of color!

Quarter of Hispanics Use Only Cell Phones
More and more consumers are cutting the cord and opting to go only wireless with their telephone communications. a recent survey by National Health (NHIS) showed that Hispanics are leading the charge with 25 percentof Hispanic households depending only on their cell phones as primary means of telephone communication.
By comparison, the same study showed that 21.4 percent of African-Americans and 16.6 percent of Caucasians lived in cellphone-only households.
With this data, it’s no wonder that wireless companies like Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless, Sprint, Cricket Wireless and others are scurrying to “Hispanicize” their products with Latin music ringtone downloads and in-language content and applications. And they love those long conversations with Tia Juanita back home!

Sofia Vergara and all that Jazz…
It’s great to see when a Latina gets a starring role in movies and TV sitcoms, and now with the recent buzz from the 
Broadway hit, “In the Heights” (2008 Tony Award® winner for Best Musical) the bright lights of Broadway are getting their own share of Latin-flavored hype! Now, Sofia Vergara, the gorgeous Colombian crossover actress, is starring as Matron Mama Morton in the knockout musical, Chicago which will be playing in NYC until end of May then will be traveling to Miami for a short tour.

Today’s Multi-Generation Workforce Setting
With more and more people postponing their retirement and working late into their 70s, for the first time in our history, we have four generations in the workplace - Matures (1925-1942), Baby Boomers (1943-1965), Generation X (1965-1980) and Generation Y, also known as Millenials, (1981-2002). An interesting article published in the Spring issue of Hispanic MBA provided insights into each generation.
I think the research conducted by author Natalie Augustin of The Professional Advantage consulting group shows how important it is for managers and staff alike to understand and learn how to bridge the gaps that exist between multiple generations who work together in the same environment. Understanding better the generation traits of your supervisor can help improve your overall effectiveness and relationship with him or her. By the same token, those who supervise others can more effectively manage their staffs by understanding their motivational drivers.
Of course there are a number of other factors that contribute to an effective work group, but knowing, understanding and respecting those things that make each generation a little different from the other, can help get teams to that high performance state that employers seek.

Miami still bringing the Heat!
As many of you know, May is sweeps month for TV shows (AKA: when ratings determine what local stations can charge for advertising) so many of the national morning shows go on the road to help increase excitement. The Today Show filmed in Miami last year and this year we have Regis and Kelly filming at the newly renovated Fontainebleau Resort on Miami Beach. It’s nice to know the “Magic City” is getting th
is kind of attention on a national level which will hopefully help increase dollars from tourism. Some of the guests on Regis and Kelly this week include Eric Dane, Nicole Ritchie, Rob Lowe, Lil Kim, and Telemundo’s Ana Maria Polo.
Perhaps the next time your client wants to do a large-scale event to create a big splash, you can suggest Miami as you’re backdrop…
