Here's a real-reality dish for you! Casting Call in New Jersey - Really - It's True! Could we really make this stuff up? We could, but we wouldn't! There is a new show in production in New Jersey and they have contacted us, yes us, for help in finding fabulous women, just like you. Only glitch is that they want them to be in New Jersey. Since you're so fab they figured you just might have a few fab friends in New Jersey. Because we have been sworn to secrecy we can't tell you more than this! Even if you try to beat it out of us with a wet noodle. Here’s what the Casting Director sent me: "We are looking for fabulous, real women in the New Jersey/Bergen county area who work, play, shop, primp, travel, and mother! Our ideal woman is the new version of the female American dream--wonderfully outspoken, smart, incredibly social, beautiful, successful, and, of course, wealthy. We're searching for New Jersey women in their late-20's to mid-50's who'd love to be in a reality TV show."
Please send an email to njcasting@sirensmedia.com or call the casting hotline at 212-542-3579. Thanks!

Awards galore! Winter’s hibernation for our divas means long days and late nights full of hard work and dedication to building empires, getting the job done and making the world a better place for us all. Don’t go telling us un-uh, we know it’s true. You may make it look so easy but we know that it’s hard work to be so diva-lish.
Well it’s high time that you are recognized for your dedication and hard work and we’ve found not only the scoop but the place for diva nominations for you to get your just desserts.
Women in the Technology, SmartCEO and NAWBO NOVA are either preparing to hand out awards or help you make the nomination cut! The good news is that you won't have to parade around in a bikini to impress the judges.

Diva Do-gooders! Give a Diva a Cause and a reason to get people moving and watch what happens. Life has thrown a very unfair curve at two of our very own favorite divas. Tracey Oskey, President of Telforward and a Success in the City Executive Committee member has Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Indra Book, CEO of On The Go 4 U has Arthritis. You will never hear either one of them complain, but watch what happens when a call to action is on the line to find a cure. On March 25 join in a Girl Power event in Leesburg to raise funds to cure Arthritis. On April 6 there will be a walk for the cure for MS and on May 31 there will be a walk for the cure for Arthritis. No longer do we need to burn our bras to make a difference, all we need to do is lace up our high heeled sneakers and take a walk. Ya gotta love it! See you at the finish line. - March 2008

Inciting insight, not riots, has paid off for Margarita Rozenfeld the CEO of Incite International (and Chief Visionary of YES!Circle).

Sources tell us that the win was a surprise for Margarita, but we’ve been watching her in action ourselves and know this is one dynamo business diva!
