IT'S THE "PUSH MEENOSH" CAMPAIGN....... LIVE & UNSIGNED 2009

It is the "Push Meenosh" Campaign.... Meenosha featured in Episode II of "Cameroonians In the Industry"!!I am very honored to be part of the PR team of this campaign....Ok...speech time over!

Menoosha is "one step away from the Nationals".

A bit of background on Live & Unsigned

"Live and Unsigned is the UK’s national music competition for unsigned acts to compete live. With over 10,000 registrations for the second year running, it is the biggest music talent search for original acts in the UK. Live and Unsigned’s popularity comes from its reputation for encouraging originality and the acts taking part are commended for doing their own thing; being individual, original and performing their own genre and style live!..."

".....The winner of the competition wins a Recording and management contract with Future Music with an investment of up to £20,000 to release their single including professional studio time, promotional campaigns and more. They will be thrust into the media spotlight through television, radio and the press and furthermore all winners will all be invited on the UK Live and Unsigned Tour...."

This is a great opportunity....So we have to "Push Meenosh".......

THE AFRICAN FIRST LADIES....PICTURE UNPERFECT??

The African First Ladies Health Summit was held in Los Angeles California. The event was a two-day summit (April 20/21) focused on health, women's issues and HIV/AIDS in Africa. Great Initiative by the First Ladies!!One question comes to mind...Why did they have to go all the way to the US of A to hold this summit?

My dear friend, Uche C. sent me a link which had the pics below..A forum on Naija ryders.com called "SOMEONE SHOULD TEACH THESE AFRICAN FIRST LADIES HOW TO SIT. BEFORE THEY EXPOSE ALL.."






From L-R.
First Ladies Adelcia Barreto Pires of Cape Verde, Chantal Biya of Cameroon, Ana Paula Dos Santos of Angola, and Queen Inkhosikati LaMbikiza of Swaziland during the African First Ladies Health Summit in Los Angeles April 20, 2009.


Just a few comments & Observations:

On an event like this, there are cameras everywhere...So the "Unperfect" moments are caught on Candid Camera!!

And the reason for the Umbrellas is? Well it looks like it was a very sunny day....

Our Darling First Lady Madame Chantou is seriously reducing our Rep with her Mane...

The Belle of the pics is the Queen of Swalizand on the right with the cream outfit!!

Madame Chantou was even rubbing shoulders with Paris Hilton at the event Gala..In short no comments!!


All I can say is that the case of Madame Chantou's Hair is a very serious one!!

Photos courtesy of Daylife.com..Just search for "African First Ladies Health Summit"...lots of pictures!!
