Heading back to the West Coast from Chicago was a calling for former Madison Avenue Advertising Director, Barbara Segal who has over twenty years history in Los Angeles. Chicago is my kind of town, New York is where I'd rather be, Washington was boring with the Republicans running town , however Los Angeles is Hollywood, Fashion, Entertainment and Glamour. Above and beyond working as a Blogger For Hire, Internet Marketing and Media Consultant, Barbara Segal serves on the Board for LACMA Costume Council where she does Media and Marketing. Barbara Segal & Associates mission is to give back. Using her creative juices, getting press coverage, meeting deadlines and philanthropy all comes with the making of a passionate PR maven.


With Facebook comes a new social way of networking and marketing. Making new business contacts, new friends and finding old friends thru events such as this one is always part of the fun of Public Relations.
The Costume Council at LACMA, "From Burlesque to Couture" was the Ultimate Show and Tell on Monday, November 17, 2008 and was hosted by Liz Goldwyn with special guest Dita Von Teese who introducing burlesque dancer Ava Garter. The evening was sold out it went up on Patrick McMullans International media wire. Now one has deadlines, however with the Fame Game, Facebook, Linkedin it all seems a bit more revealing.

Will Barack Obama starts doing a weekly YouTube video?




At last a Government that will be lead by a President who understands the advantages of technology. www.Change.gov is the Official Web Site of the The U.S. Presidential Transition. The 21st century allows people to filter up questions and with Government.change you can ask question to our newly elected Government and even ask a question that Barack Obama himself might answer. The president-elect Obama already has said he will have a five-day online comment period before signing any non-emergency legislation, so Americans can be part of the process.

Obama's integration of the Internet during his presidential campaign came as Americans increasingly turned to online sources to get election news. As a candidate Barack Obama had four times as many friends as his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain, on MySpace.com. Obama had almost 3 million supporters on Facebook and put together a massive database of e-mail addresses -- some 10 million.

Techno savy Obama announced Sen. Joe Biden as his choice for vice president in a text message to supporters. He's also planning to employ a chief technology officer and has pledged to get true broadband to every community in the country.
At Barbara Segal & Associates, we are happy to learn of these employment opportunities in our new Government and are encouraged that jobs will be created by this new technology.
