On the Friday, November 13th Wendy will open her studio doors to recording artist Chris Brown. Brown joins Wendy for a chat and to exclusively premiere his new video “Crawl” from his forthcoming album “Graffiti.” Wendy said she wouldn’t be doing any “swoop downs” on him but, just chatting.

This show will definitely be one to watch.

Although the site was officially launched November 1, 2006; the idea and plan were birthed November 24, 2005. It took a year, an investor, startup capital, and a developer to see my vision com to fruition. The months of work put in researching, networking and writing was worth every minute and has proved itself to be an asset and the best learning experience I have ever had.

This experience would not have been possible if I hadn’t met a special supporter of SavvySocialite.com. It was their guidance and experience that I was able to make it happen. I would like to dedicated this month’s issue to Mr. Edgar Brookins I am eternally grateful to you  for seeing my vision for SavvySocialite.com and supporting it 110% . Thank you for your continued support!

As SavvySocialite.com approaches it’s fourth anniversary this month and I am truly excited for what is in store for this year. This is the first time in 4 years that I can dedicated 100% of my efforts into making this site a world class destination for women; think of SavvySocialite.com as a little friend in your head!

Much of the past years I have spent the majority of my efforts and talents into making other sites increase their value and market share at the expense of my loyal readers and my site.  I made a huge mistake; I neglected this site. I am here to say, “Today is a new day” and I am looking forward to sharing daily post, video, advice, events and life experience with all of you.

The next year will be better! From new columns, contributors and features to more events and give aways for readers and subscribers.

Thank You for your continued support.

Happy Anniversary!

So its over. OFFICIALLY over, and it has been that way for a while but, some how you both have been able to be friends and not in the “friends-with-benefits” way. Does your new boyfriend have the right to have a problem?

WHY?????

Why do they continue to hate on Barack Obama. Yep, it’s the usual suspects; Tavis Smiley, Dr. Cornel West and Dr. Julianne Malveaux *sigh* can’t they see the bigger picture; we are free now tired of all the talking, we want action.
Smiley, West, Malveaux

Normally I don’t post this stuff but, sometimes P. Diddy or his government name Sean Combs has some valid points. Enjoy what Diddy or “Ciroc Obama” had to say about McLame’s err… McCain’s, VP pick Sarah Palin *crickets* I am so not impressed with her resumé (really McCain, was this the only Republican that would still deal with you). Did he walk into a local Kmart in Alaska while on the campaign trail and think that the lady checking him out asking paper or plastic would be a good choice for his second in command.

I love, love, love classic custom clothing. April Marin rocks at providing quality custom dresses for women at at affordable prices(as low as $130) I can so see myself at a meeting with one of these fabulous looks. The bonus is that I know that the dress was made to fit perfectly. No more sagging in the middle or too tight fits around the bust and the bottom (I have a womanly shape ) and even better; they have an assortment of fabric and lining colors to choose from. I personally like the grey and pink combo or a classic navy with green; either way you choose your look you’ll definitely have plenty of fun putting it together.

I am really digging my heels in this butter literally. This summer I have had to keep my toe and heel game on lock, all I have been wearing are sandals and more sandals and this has helped me keep my feet looking sandal ready. Bnutured is a totally natural and handmade product and Michelle Lee-King the owner is definitely a fab lady which a great product and philosophy. Check out www.bnurtured.com and grab a few of these sweet smelling treats especially the Peach Sangria my personal fave.

I am officially a Michelle Obama stan, just in case you didn’t know it .  She is the embodiment of what I strive to be everyday. She is just a real person who wants to uplift others; I dig that. Plus that dress was soooooo cute (www.mariapinto.com) I think that’s on my wish list for what I want to wear to the CBC.
I can’t wait until she is in the White House. Good thing I still Have my place in the D.C. !!!

Just in case you missed it ( WHICH YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE!!), I posted the video below. Obama ’08

SavvySocialite.com Family-

I have neglected this site for far to long and I am tired of it. It started back in Nov. when I got a promotion and I had mad work to do to promote the Afro-American Newspapers coverage of Obama and Clintons’ race for the DNC nomination and we had the only journalist representing African-American Newspapers on the campaign bus with Obama during the primaries (Hillary’s camp didn’t reach out) so that took long hours, press releases, marketing, etc. for them and honestly I just could lift another finger to type when I came home. Next came the job opportunity to work with Black America’s most influential voice in radio to work on the redesign and re-launch of his website but, they had a problem with me having my own site. So because I wanted the job I took down my post and got the gig. The problem was that I missed blogging and chatting with readers about things that interest us.  I realized what was important to me and have decided to re-energize my site. I will be posting the stories that have been taken down along with new ones and really would like feedback on what you want from a good website that speaks to our unique voices. Post your comments or send me a holla at liz[at]savvysocialite.com.

P.S. Thanks mom for putting it in perspective and giving me a friendly reminder of why I started this site. Thanks Dee Dee for reminding me to keep it up that random morning (3am) we chatted (I love Google chat) what you have done with Clutch continues to inspire me.
