FACTOR WOMEN raise TOYS FOR TOTS – CHRISTMAS IN JULY!

Friends of mine who have always been amongst the top of those in the modeling industry as “elite chicago” have evolved into a fairly new agency called “factor women” and today I am giving them a huge shout out for more than just their good looks!

Due to tough economic times, loss of incomes, a lot of parents have been struggling to provide for their families, much less give their children all the luxuries of toys & games that many of us are privileged to have. Luckily, the amazing chicago modeling agency, Factor Women, is putting on a toys for Tots Drive on Tuesday, July 20th between 9am-5pm at the Factor Model Management office on 58 W Huron. Please help this awesome cause and bring in some unwrapped toys (or cash) to help out our fellow neighbors, and the future neighbors of our great city!

Macy Gray in Chicago at Glamorama w/ a New CD!

I’m sure you can tell from all my stories and pics on twitter that macy gray is not only my good buddy, but one of my favorite female singers of all time! if don’t know her, she’s a super sweetheart, a 2 time Grammy winner, a great mom, has sold more than 15 million records, and is just an absolute talent- and riot! (pic of us at grammy’s this year)

I especially got to give her huge props for her newest CD, “The Sellout.”  after not being happy with the outcome of her previous project, “Big,” she holed up in a recording studio with just a few select friends and musicians, and killed it w/this new creation, as you probably saw in the past couple weeks on Jimmy Fallon, Good Morning America and The View… so spread the word and pick up her songs on itunes or Amazon today!

Oh, and if want to see her in person in chicago, she is performing at the annual Macy’s Glamorama 2010 on August 13th to benefit the Ronald McDonald Charity which I love! This event is truly one of the best of the year– a mix of fashion, music and charity always makes for a great combo.  Read more for full Glamorama info….
