Austin, TX - April 28, 2010 — Fashionably Austin will webcast for the first time ever, live, the highly-regarded Annual Fashion Show held by the University of Texas Apparel Design Program, allowing fashion industry professionals around the world to see new talent and designs from the prestigious fashion design school. Not only do young student designers have an unprecedented opportunity for international exposure, the fashion show live webcast has a very special benefit for one father serving in Afghanistan — he won’t have to miss seeing his daughter debut her fashion designs on the runway. He will have an opportunity to watch her in the fashion show live while he is serving in the U.S. Military, thousands of miles away in Afghanistan.

Cheryl Bemis & Melissa Shea

“We are excited to provide a live webcast and bring this special coverage spreading the word on a broader scale about these talented UT fashion designers,” said Cheryl Bemis, co-creator of Fashionably Austin. Two of the UT student designers in the “High Voltage” fashion show are interviewing with Marc Jacobs, one interned with Betsey Johnson last summer and another already has a design place at Diane Von Furstenberg. “Webcasting is the latest trend in social media technology and gives fashion designers opportunities for exposure like never before.” She and her partner, Melissa Shea, are changing the way fashion businesses and consumers are connecting and communicating.

Fashionably Austin is a part of the Fashionably Connected network, an online magazine with video highlights, live event webcasting and a fashion industry directory that features the stories of local fashion industry professionals and a searchable directory that provides fashion-related businesses exposure in their local community and beyond. Fashionably Connected also offers live streaming webcast services to designers for their fashion shows and web marketing.Their most recent webcast streamed the Spring fashion show by Chloe Dao, Project Runway season 2 winner, from Houston, Texas. Melissa and Cheryl provide video and photography coverage of New York Fashion Week for the Fashionably Connected online magazine and will be attending Berlin Fashion Week and Vienna Fashion Week, Miami Swim and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in September.

Fashionably Connected recently partnered with the innovative technology firm netSpray, a Social Ad Marketing (SAM) and Social Media Marketing (SMM) services provider, utilizing their state-of-the-art proprietary technology to connect designers, boutiques and related industries to fashion-conscious consumers in their community and around the world. The joint collaboration enables Fashionably Austin to brand and market their fashion connections through live streaming webcasts and Spotlight PortfoliosSM, creative outlets that allow fashion businesses to increase communications through innovative social media tools, techniques and services.

For more information on the University of Texas Fashion Show “High Voltage” on April 29th, from 8-10pm, and to receive details about viewing the streaming live webcast, visit http://www.FashionablyAustin.com.

April 28, 2010 — The BeSoEVENTurous network makes finding an event location simple by providing users with an already aggregated list of local restaurants and party planning services. “The initial difficulty in planning a party - whether it’s a corporate event or a small awards or graduation party, inherently has been the time and energy it takes to identify, qualify, and decide which are the right venues and vendors for the job. Our network solves this problem, while saving time and money by providing users with a free consultation and access to our network of professional and competitive vendors, all small local independent businesses” says BeSoEVENTurous proprietor and experienced party planning consultant, Tim Harris.

The network offers free and subscription-based services and can connect the client/planner to a variety of vendors (i.e. restaurants, musicians, party services, etc.) of interest. Based on the criteria of a particular event, information is given to only qualified members of the network who then connect to the client and can bid for their business. The burden is shifted off the planner and onto the vendor.

For vendors, the network provides restaurants and caterers with the sales leads for bidding while also presenting an opportunity for other peripheral event vendors to advertise and compete for business. According to Tim, “We give the client/planner and opportunity to work with local businesses that can use a helping hand in this economy while doing the legwork for them in the initial stages of their process.” What emerges is an active and competitive network where planners save time and money while vendors get more exposure and jobs to bid on.

There is no need to join the network as an individual client or company planner, although there are added benefits to join. A simple to use event inquiry form on the website or a quick phone call can put the process in motion. “This is different than other internet services in that leads are not withheld from potential restaurants and caterers and they do not pay any fees unless an actual booking takes place. “Our new economy made me look at the events market in a new way, from a budget standpoint and from the view of small, local entrepreneurial businesses” says Tim.

Alan Earls, New England chapter president of the American Society for Business Publication Editors had this to say about the network and the man behind BeSoEVENTurous, “Tim has helped us make arrangements for very successful awards banquets over recent years. We are continuing to look to him for event guidance through Be So Eventurous and remain very pleased with his “can do” attitude and many helpful suggestions.”

Similarly, Deborah Ryan, Recruiter at Plexus Management Group is an enthusiast, “His recommendations have always made for top notch events. Would recommend in a heartbeat!”

BeSoEVENTurous Uses Social Ad Marketing Agency netSpray along with Spotlight Portfolios to market the network

BeSoEVENTurous isn’t limited to their network but through the help of Social Media Marketing company, netSpray, the benefit of the network has extended to online networks Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. netSpray has created a unique location for Tim to tell his story as well as the BeSoEVENTurous story and increase communications using Spotlight Portfolios.

The combined netSpray plus Spotlight Portfolios advantage is one that provides not only new generation branding services, but also the skill and technology of a time-tested advertising and marketing company. “Our service offers reflect an ability to grow sales, awareness, and mind-share through traditional as well as newer models of engagement through social media, social technologies, and our own patent-pending intelligent ad widgets,” says Director of Marketing for netSpray, Jennifer Victorian.

Tim’s Boston-area BeSoEVENTurous network is growing daily, so he’s ready to open a sister network in Chicago. Tim says he’s also able to satisfy requests for event planning service needs outside of these areas. “I’ve been doing event planning for more than 10 years in places throughout the country, I do still provide the consultation but I find the network puts planners in the driver’s seat and provides them something they ultimately long for, control over their events.”

About BeSoEVENTurous: The BeSoEVENTurous event network is a new concept in event planning and networking. We take the pain and the leg work out of event planning for business and individual clients. The company takes distinct facets of the events/meetings market and combines them into a network that is designed to support the budget end of the market, not typically served by traditional event planners. A simple concept based on a niche market that has not been effectively serviced, especially in our new economy. It is a model for the nurturing of small business and regular people in a changed world.

“With the increased involvement in Social Media and social networks, the online space will represent the future of business and the people who will run it for a large percentage of the world. This requires education. Future business executives will need to combine knowledge of these new concepts with universal leadership traits such as courage, compassion, and communication skills.

TULSA, OKLAHOMA – The United States Junior Chamber (Jaycees) is pleased to announce the formation of a special partnership with “Riley’s Toys” in a nationwide effort.

Riley’s Toys Foundation is founded on an idea from then four-year-old Riley Hebbard. In February 2009 she watched a news show that featured children in an African school that had no toys. Riley could not believe that these children had only ‘sticks and dirt’ to play with and decided to send her toys to them. She enlisted her preschool friends to do the same thing. She and her parents then added 8 collection sites at businesses they visit regularly in central PA.

The chapters of The U.S. Jaycees organization will use a similar collection model. They will set up collection sites within their communities accepting new and like-new toy donations that are non-violent and not battery operated. These toys will be sent to Riley’s Toys Foundation, who has partnered with World Vision for toy distribution in Africa.

“The Jaycees will help me get a toy to every kid in Africa and that would be awesome” says Riley Hebbard, 5 years old. The U.S. Jaycees will officially launch this partnership at their annual conference beginning September 24, 2009 in Orlando, Florida.

Riley’s Toys Foundation will make available a ‘How-To’ Kit for The U.S. Jaycees to help the project run smoothly in communities across the country. Flyers, posters, frequently asked questions, and media releases will be available. The Foundation will include all donation points on its website www.rileystoys.org so donors simply click on their state on a national map and all the collection sites will appear.

“A project of this nature truly takes a community to become reality, and we couldn’t have gotten this far without our partners” says Rhonda Hebbard, Riley’s mom. “World Vision is our logistics partner; they get the toys into the hands of African children while our website and social media networking component is powered by netSpray.com. Without strong partnerships like this and the support of The U.S. Jaycees, a project of this scale would not succeed.”

The United States Junior Chamber (Jaycees) gives young people between the ages of 18 and 40 the tools they need to build the bridges of success for themselves in the areas of business development, management skills, individual training, community service, and international connections.
