About Me

..Hello! The name's Christine and I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA. I have two degrees in Advertising and Broadcasting. I started a new job in New York City as a media planner last May.The photo above shows my coworkers and I at a bowling alley for the Zoom Marketing 2007 OOH Bowling League.Below is a photo of my coworkers, our friends at Clear Channel, and myself during NYC's Wine Week.I saw DJ Tiesto on Friday, July 20th at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. I was close to the front. Take a look at a video I shot:You can find DJ Tiesto videos and more at www.youtube.com/luvinmusic5 Here I am on the set of "Good Morning America" in New York City. Here's me with Marysol Castro & Juju Chang at Good Morning America. Me with Paul Boyd (co-anchor for Inside Edition) and Amanda (his wife) who is an alumni of Point Park.Here's some recent photos of an event I attended called "Lights! Glamour! Action!". It was a fundraiser for the Pittsburgh Film Office and took place on the Club Level at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, PA. I love Ria!I love music - and Satellite Records in NYC!Yes, I am a female DJ.It's always been a HUGE dream of mine to become a DJ for clubs. The name DJ GirL has just stuck ever since my friend DJ ReLic came around. I'm not so sure I want to keep the name. Anyone have any ideas for a new DJ name for me? Let me know...But I must clarify one thing. It has been hard for me to concentrate on DJing lately since I recently graduated from college. I have spent much of my free time enjoying my final years as a student and trying to network and find a good job to support me financially. Fortunately, all of that hard work paid off. I AM NOT GIVING UP MY DREAM OF DJING!!! I am simply prioritizing my time and putting it aside TEMPORARILY as I get settled in the big city. I am still DJing at house parties and clubs. However, I am not a professional at this point...yet. :) Music is the soundtrack to life. There is a different song for every different situation. If you can feel it, you have a gift that you must never let go. Spin and perform with all your heart and soul. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------- Looking for a party?

My Interests

MUSIC (of course), singing, taking walks, eating (ha ha), spinning on my turntables and CD players, hanging out with friends, making new friends, and just being around people. I also love to travel. I want to see the world.

I'd like to meet:

This sounds kinda funny, but I've always wanted to meet the Backstreet Boys (lol). It's a long story. Not that I'm still a huge fan and all but I go way back to being a big fan of theirs. It would just be great to meet them someday. I'd also love to meet Celine Dion because I wish I could sing like her. I love the Apprentice as well - meeting Donald Trump would be very inspirational. Also, anyone in the advertising or broadcasting industry is always a pleasure to meet with.Also I love meeting disc jockeys and people with the same interests as me. It's always a lot of fun to exchange music and ideas for a future performance.I have a pair of shoes I call my "DJ Shoes" that I had signed by Darude, the artist who wrote the song "Sandstorm", a few years ago. I would like to have other DJs sign my shoes for good luck. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't try to meet BT when he came down to Bash Nightclub a while ago. I am on a mission to collect items from DJs for good luck and advice.

Music:

I like to DJ and I love listening to techno, which includes Trance, Happy Hardcore, House, Dance, etc... I could go on for hours. I especially love progression trance. Here's some of my favorite DJs: *DJ St. John*Ian Van Dahl*4 Strings*Paul Van Dyk*Basement Jaxx*The Mystery*The Cynic Project*Alice Deejay*Chicane*DJ Sammy*DJ Tiesto*Darude*Shape:UKetc... I could go on forever.

Movies:

Ouch, I don't watch too many movies. Um, I like "Ghostbusters I and II" a lot. But my FAVORITE movie of all time will always be "City of Angels". It makes me cry every time.Other recent favorites include Anchorman any of the Family Guy episodes.

Television:

The Apprentice and Grey's Anatomy! Those are honestly the only two television shows I have time to watch with my crazy schedule.My new favorite TV show: "How I Met Your Mother" - Mondays at 8pm eastern on CBS

Books:

Scotty Says..."Why Do People" Understand Yourself By Understanding Others by Scotty Gunther :) www.scottysays.comI love any books about advertising and media as well. I find it enjoyable to read stories about ad campaigns - some can be pretty funny.

Heroes:

Donald Trump. He can be strict, but he worked his way up to the top and is a great example of the success I dream of achieving.
