Sammyy's Newest Project

Ok so, lately i've been so stressed and busy. As apart of my VIBE Internship, one of the requirements is for all the interns to put together there own magazine. Its called PULSE:A Vibe Production. It won't be in the stores, however it will be in the hands and read by very important people. Including the editor-in-chief Danyel Smith and the CEO Of VIBE Steve Aaron. As well as all the editors, inlcuding well known stylist for VIBE (& my Supervisor), Memsor Kamarake. I love it, because it basically gives each intern chance to shine and able to show there own potential. every one has there own title. In the fashion Dept. I am title the SR. Market Editor. Which means I am in charged of nearly everything and help the intern titled the head of the fashion dept, Randi. We work very well together.! So, basically were in charge of everything. My responsibilities include; Getting the best models and as much samples as possable and thinking of themes and such for the shoots, etc. I have been having success with the shoots. My first shoot is on Upcoming designers which will feature BANANAS, Ironic Extinction, ETC. The other shoot which is the main fashion spread is street wear meets high fashion. The models have been coming together, I've already gotten P.Dizzy, Great Scott, Hoping Dee & Ricky, DJ (Ironic Extinction), & still looking.

if you, or someone you know is tall and always wanted or starting to model, this is your chance.! it will be greatt networking! at the end you will be invited to the VIBE Launch party and can network to your advantage. Im in need of female models, male models, and samples. !! if anyone has any hot designers, send em my way asap.! deadlines next week.! =/ ITS MY TIME TO SHINE; WHO'S TRYNNA SHINE W ME ?!

April '09 VIBE COVER.!

OMG; ok so, as you know i've been interning for VIBE. One of the processes we got to be apart of is deciding the covers. In this process, the Editor-In-Chief, Danyel Smith, sets up a conference were you'll see a board & all the potential pictures from T.I's shoot. There was alot of great pics.! Everyone had to go up and choose which they thought was the best and why. I chose this cover.! some arugued, and some liked it as well. But i loved it because it shows a new look for T.I. This is the issue before he goes into jail so it has to be a hot cover on his behalf. =]. I love the specs on him.! Its also a great fashion statement. So yay, Im happy this one got picked. Also, this issue is the first issue I've worked on. When i got there in January, they had just begun working on the april issue (apparently magazines are two months ahead). So april will be the first issue that my name will be in.!! yay me =] If you just pick up your VIBE and look in the credits under interns, you will see SAMANTHA PHAGU. It's a great issue ENJOY =]

Keri Hilson VS Beyonce Knowles-R&B BEEF.?

"You don’t expect R&B vixens to snatch off their earrings and kick off their heels on wax — unless there’s an album release on the horizon. Which ironically (or not,) is Ms. Hilson’s current situation: March 24th to be exact.

Well if it’s even more attention that she wants for In A Perfect World… than even a #1 hit can give her, she’s got it by going at Sasha Fierce aka Beyonce Knowles.!"

Apparently, Beyonce isnt giving Keri the credit she deserves, claiming that she wrote some of beyonces lyrics and been putting her on. Also because beyonce has been claiming she wrote songs, that she hasnt. Keri states a line in the song calling beyonce a hoe "Check the credits hoe". Listen to Keri's verse. Lets see if Beyonce Shoots back.! This Turning me on remix features T-Pain, Keri & Lil wayne at the end. ENJOY :]

Spring time is coming. (even though its hard to tell due to this crazyy snoww NY is having.! UGH) anyway, every spring, designers release short trenchcoats, which have became very popular. This season, The Martin Margiela Trench has to be the best out so far. I love how sophisticated & modern it looks. Defintely a hot item fellas.!!

Volt Magazine.

"Like a modern day Diana Ross dressed in cult edge couture, this shoot by Rui Faria for Volt Magazine titled "Eclipse", is a study in monochromatic, slick styling. Fusing extravagant, over the top hair creations with bold, sharp fashion, stylist Cynthia Lawerence-John compliments Faria's vision perfectly"

Giorgio Armani 5th Ave Grand Opening!

"The country may be in a recession, but don't tell that to Giorgio Armani. The multifaceted designer officially debuted his stunning Fifth Avenue emporium (or "A5A," as the new flagship's been dubbed) on Tuesday evening with an all-out cocktail party that drew Leonardo DiCaprio (who arrived at the tail end, just in time for a private dinner), Alicia Keys, John Mayer, Ricky Martin, January Jones, and Liam Neeson."

My brother, Kevin Phagu, actually got to be apart of this fabulous process. He currently works at Giorgio Armani in Manhasset at The Americana Mall (AKA The 5th ave of Long Island). He has been promoted to supervisor of shipping and was called to help w the opening of the grand 5th ave store.! It was great tiring experience for him and he continues and loves to be apart of the Armani company. (Yep, fashion runs in the fam lol). .(Side note; and on top of it, my mommy works at Tiffany & Co. for about 11 years now. She got me into Fashion & the 5th ave designers growing up. <3)

Rihanna & Chris Brown Re-unite

As you've noticed, I havent posted anything regarding the Chris/Rihanna issue. The reason being is because I hate how people are so nosey and the media messes things up more than it already is. Prime example, Britney Spears. Yes, she had issues, but if the press left her alone to deal w them like a normal person, it would'nt have gotten as bad as it did. People need to leave chris & rihanna to deal w there issues, until they are ready to come back in the public eye. If Rihanna gets back w Chris people need to respect her desiciion. She's not a dunmb girl, So she wouldnt make a dumb desicion.

People.com reports that Rihanna has reunited with her boyfriend, R&B singer Chris Brown, some three weeks after he was arrested for allegedly assaulting her. E! News reports that the two are together at Sean "Diddy" Combs' Star Island mansion in Miami Beach. Brown was booked by the Los Angeles Police Department for making criminal threats but his case has not yet been presented to the District Attorney, who will ultimately decide what charges, if any, will be filed. On Wednesday, E! quoted D.A. spokeswoman Jane Robison as saying Brown's scheduled March 5 court date might be postponed while detectives gather more evidence for their case against him. "The D.A. is being even more thorough than usual with this case," Robison is quoted as saying. "They don’t want to mess it up."
