Diddy says it is time for change

 deko and posh here…Listen to what Diddy is telling us (V.I.T.’s)…L8R

“If we want to stop the war, if we want to get the economy better, I think that young people need to understand they have to take matters into their own hands. It is really like waking up a sleeping giant. I didn’t really want to get in the political game but I wanted to see young people become empowered. That’s where my attention is at. To have an African-American man and a woman in, it’s going to go down in history as the most historical election,” he said. “And I think that young people will have a hand in the result.”

deko and posh promotion for february 2008

deko and posh here…every month we promote someone who we feel is doing a good thing, new talent, and someone we discovered on myspace.  Check out Natalia from Greece at http://www.myspace.com/nataliasingermav…here is a copy of her profile from mysapce.  send her a comment and  let her know that deko and posh told you all about her.  L8R

Well first of all let me introduce my self, My name is Natalia Mav i was born in Melbourne Australia on the 4th of January 1987!!! I would have to say im a really outgoing loving person in general, im the type of person that has the mentality of by recieving an inch i will give a mile, Sometimes it’s good and sometime’s it’s bad due to that a lot of people take advantage of that, but hey i like doing good deeds!!!! Anyways, over 4 years ago i moved to Athens Greece i was only 16!!! My family was still in Australia taking care of some other business they had to do, I moved in with a family friend of ours! It was a big move i only had come to Greece for vacation but i never knew it would be so different living here compared to Australia, In melbourne everything was so organised and well maintained… Here in Greece everything is the total opposite lol but that’s what i love about Greece everybody is very laid back and cool here i wouldn’t say that there aren’t many rules here, for eg: No such thing as over 21 haha i mean you can be any age to buy Cigarettes and Alcohol lol bazaar!! The main reason why i moved here is because i am a singer and i wanted to persue a music career here in Greece!! A lot of people ask me why i didn’t stay in Australia to do something there, but to be honest with you the industry there is too damn hard!!! I have a lot of contacts here in Greece with the music business and plus i love the Greek culture and their music so i decided to come here and give it a shot!! So far so good i have met a lot of interesting people and i have worked with a lot of Greek names, Such as: Giorgos Mazonakis, Elena Paparizou, Kostas Karafotis, Giorgos Alkaios, Vassilis Karas, Glykeria, Petros Imvrios, Giorgos Daskolidis, Nikos Kourkoulis, Giorgos Margaritis, Panos Kallidis, Eirini Merkouri, Stelios- Aggelos Dionisiou… These people are fantastic artists and they have inspired me to do different things with my music, it’s good working with so many different styled artists because i can learn very different things from each individual, i also have my own style of singing but i also like to pinch a bit from here and there for room of improvement because the more you learn and work the better you get! A lot of people usually say to me oh my god you are so lucky you sing and you know so many famous people in Greece, yes it is great but it doesn’t come handed over to me in a silver platter, i have worked very hard to get where i am today and imagine i don’t even have an album out yet, it takes time a hell lot of patience and sacrifises. I have been singing professionally since the age of 14 i have done many world tours with most of the artists as mentioned above. I have sung in the USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Germany, Cyrpus and i have also toured around the whole of Greece noumerous times.. I would have to say my favorite show i have ever done was in South Africa i absoloutly loved it there such a beautiful country and such heart warming people i felt like a queen LOL. I love what i do, it’s my life, my passion my heart! I don’t know what i would do if anything ever stopped me of progressing me dream! But im a very strong person and i have been way through a lot in my life so it would make it more of a challenge which i love doing.. I started singing lessons at the age of 11 and i made my first public appearance at a school assembly oh lord i was so embarassed because nobody knew that the little fat girl could sing (yes i was fat in elementry school) everyone freaked out!!! Even my mother was shocked haha!! And ever since then i took it very seriously! I really don’t have much of a personal life here i mean the only thing i do is sing and focus on my music, i used to go out heaps when i was about 17 but then i got sick of it! Now im just at home doing singing, in the studio, and writing.. I try to go out sometimes but i just feel to lazy lol…. My best friends in the whole world are Con who’s been there for me through thick and thin I love him to death!! Also Katerina, I’ve known her since I was 6 and she’s my total opposite in just about everything (me crazy, her quiet) and we balance each other out quite well. I love her so much and miss her every day. And of course my parents are my life they have done so much for me, moved to Greece and changed their lives just for me. It’s been very hard for them since the accident that happened over 3 years ago, i unfortunately lost my brother in an accident he was only 21 years old i have written a little tribute to him in my hero section, and I try to be as nice as possible and sometimes I seriously don’t know how they put up with me!!! They are my life my 2 angels that look after me whenever I need anything, not material wise, but with their love and support.

Who I’d like to meet: For about 3 years now i have been totally nuts about Christiano Ronaldo i would love to meet him he is very talented and of course extremly good looking!!! haha.. But besides that i would just like to meet decent people who respect them selves and others around them. I can stand a lot of things,, But i can’t stand liars and fake people who try to be something they are not!! So if your a fake on here don’t bother to even add me cos i will delete you! And all rude picture comments and general comments will be deleted and you will also be blocked!!I just want to be treated with the same respect the way i treat people.. Thanks for reading my profile -Natalia Mav

Actress Turned Entrepreneur Phoebe Cates

By Phoebe Cates

I just finished taping my favorite show “The Big Idea.” Donny Deutsch has been a huge influence and inspiration to me. I am a true fan of the show and really credit the recent growth of my business to being an avid watcher. (Take note- I am wearing my Big Idea electric pants on the show! See how they match the background?  I come up with some of my BEST ideas when I “don” them – - get it?!). It’s Donny this and Donny that. My family is really sick of it! Seriously, it was a real first for me- being interviewed as an entrepreneur.

After having been an actress for years and a then a full-time mom for the last 13 years (and counting) these last few years have been an interesting ride. About 3 years ago I opened my store Blue Tree www.bluetreeny.com- it is a whimsical department boutique filled with interesting gifts, clothing, home items, jewelry, etc. culled from all over the globe. I was really psyched when I was able to bring a lot of items from the store and showcase some of my favorite illuminated, hand-carved Lucite bags by artist Joyce Francis!  

Most recently I have been designing and producing all kinds of items exclusively for the store.  Next month a pair of Blue Tree earrings are going to be on the cover of O Magazine on Oprah herself!  MORE BIG NEWS  — The Moon necklace and charms which I co-designed with the artist Pablo Valencia are debuting in the Neiman Marcus catalogue in a few weeks. I am so excited to be teaming up with Brian Cyntrynbaum of Majestic to launch our first line of clothing this fall!

And last but not least- Blue Tree’s soy based candle has been selling by the truckload- even the Donny Deutsch producers are burning them in the green room as I type this!  I love my new life as a shopkeeper. I am a real people person and love the fact that after years of acting out “roles” (even the role of Phoebe Cates, the actress), I can now be completely myself.  My fabulous and glamorous store manager, Ivana, and I (along with the rest of our lovely staff) love nothing more than greeting customers- helping them find the perfect gift for a friend or helping them put together a kick- ass outfit.

Anyway- I agree with Donny when he says “Just do it!” It worked for me- so for all you budding entrepreneurs out there- what’s taking you so long?

celebrities with a cause-hayden

deko and posh here… just so you know deko has a huge crush on hayden, so this won’t be the last post about here…G2G

You know me . . . I’m a sucker for sustained interest.  I love seeing a celeb stick to a cause and follow through on a commitment.  Hayden Panettiere is rising to the occasion, refusing to keep quiet about her concern for marine life.

Shown above in a Greenpeace photo from a rally in Achorage, Alaska last May, Hayden is taking her activism to new levels after speaking out in Washington this past week.  The tiny Hero is fighting against the reinstitution of commercial whaling.

She’s also started her own non-profit – Hayden’s Closet — that raises money and awareness about her cause of choice.  Visit the website for more info . . . Proceeds benefit the Save the Whales campaign.
