About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

I wasn't a brainiac, I wasn't sporty, I was a tomboy, I had big bad hair and embarrassingly buck teeth, I listened to American hip hop, rode horses and worked as a stable hand....That pretty much sums me up as the universal no-fit kid. I went to a girls school where we walked in single file down the halls, polished our shoes and our P's and Q's and knowing boys, even at 15 was taboo, listening to rap? Imagine that, but you couldn't take that away from me. If the other kids thought you had money, it didn't matter they usually had more. If they thought you didn't, low and behold the bullies, they got me good.Then came real world college days, where all the elegantly polished vocabulary in the world wouldn't help you. These days people don't know where I come from but they sense someone taught me to be very polite and lady like, but they're not quite sure when I'm holding my ground fiercely with another American mogul and I'm not backing down Now I count my blessings as I float from a hip hop studio to the corporate board room in the same day in a dress fit for Park Avenue.Hip hop has grown up, haven't we? I know within I'm the same girl that used to dream of New York, wear Fubu and play Tupac in my Walkman on the bus to college. My lifestyle now just reflects who I have grown into, a young entertainment and fashion industry PR woman who can rock the world in 4 inches and pearls and loves a bit of Jazz and some Snow Patrol and isn't afraid of that...Life's no dress rehearsal, it was just a year ago I returned from a year working in New York, had an idea and made a decision. Now it's grown into my own company...Welcome to Melian Enterprises, International Lifestyle PR firm, and me - publicist extraordinaire. Home to brands, music, lifestyle, fashion and celebrity.
