The HW Design Inc. team attended the REVOLVE Flagship Store One Year Anniversary Party on Melrose in Hollywood. Lindsay Lohan hosted the event, featuring her 6126 Pop Up Shop and Sevin Nyne tanning products.
The event was packed and the food was incredible. Early arrivals included Mario Lopez and Brittany Gastineau. The appetizers were phenomenal as well as the deserts, featuring Sprinkles Cupcakes, Popcakes, Ghirardelli Chocolate and Milk and Krunchies. Red Bull and Hint water were featured at the open bar and music was provided by Trillogy.
Upon her much anticipated arrival, one of Lohan’s over-zealous body guards pushed photographers and actually ran into the red carpet backdrop. This ruined the photo opps for many who had waited for Lindsay almost four hours and nearly set off multiple altercations. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed and things settled down. Lohan’s 6126 introduced two pairs of leggings made exclusively for Revolve at the event. You can check out Revolve’s complete line of clothing here.

Welcome to the first of many social media recaps that will be featured right here on our eMarketing blog. We will be gathering a weekly digest of the top stories and latest happenings within the social media sphere, and from these headlines offer our suggestions and conclusions on what the overall impact might be for marketers and casual users alike.
This week, not unlike any other, threw us some interesting developments in the social media world. Most of the buzz, however, was focused on new Twitter and Facebook developments, both the good and the bad. YouTube also managed to make news with a new revenue sharing platform, in addition to lending a helping hand to Lindsay Lohan.
Without further delay, here are the top social media headlines for the past week:
• Facebook Privacy Changes – Facebook has been falling into trouble lately with Canadian authorities due to being in violation of the country’s privacy laws. In particular, the privacy issues which surround the retention of customer data after a user cancels his or her account. This could cause wider implications for other social networks concerning the way user data is currently being handled.
• Should Twitter Sell? – It seems that with strong competition coming from Facebook’s end, especially after the FriendFeed acquisition, many individuals have suggested that it might be time for the popular micro-blogging service to sell out to a larger and stronger partner. However, while it might be profitable prospect, how much growth the service still has left in it can only be speculated at this point, and therefore this decision should not be taken lightly.
• Woofer – 140 characters holding you back from what you really want to say? Why not use 1400? Enter Woofer, a carbon-copy of Twitter that alters the service from a micro to a macro-blogging atmosphere. Just sign in with your Twitter name and Woof away!
• Bit.ly and Yfrog Partnership – One of the most popular URL shorteners available on the web partners with Yfrog, a current underdog in the Twitter picture-sharing landscape. The result? Much trouble for TwitPic, currently the leader in this segment.
• YouTube lends a helping hand to Ms. Lohan – The LAPD released video footage of an apparent break-in of Lindsay Lohan’s home with the hope of catching the three suspects. Even police departments these days are realizing the true potential of social media.
• YouTube Videos a Source of Revenue? – YouTube announced that it may soon offering money to individuals whose videos have a specific number of views and viral potential. The source of the income? Advertisements that the service will sell against the video.
• Social Media Use in Companies Continues to Rise – In a recent report by eMarketer, it was found that currently 59% of brand marketers are now using social media. What’s really interesting is that within 12 months, 82% are planning on integrating social media into their overall marketing plan. The most popular social media channels? Facebook, Twitter, online videos, and blogs.
What exactly can you take away from these headlines? Well, for one, governments are cracking down on privacy issues that have been surfacing recently due to increased usage of social media outlets. The result could be stricter laws and regulations across the board, with increased security for users, but a decline in the ability for companies in particular to gather important statistics on potential clients.
Twitter is again in the news thanks to Facebook and bit.ly. Certainly the partnership of bit.ly and Yfrog will mean TwitPic must scramble in order for it to continue to maintain its large market share, that is if Twitter is still around in its current form. Though Twitter adamantly denies it is for sale, the prospect is that there is a lot of money to be made. The key in this situation is determining whether the service has any significant additional growth, as selling out too soon could result in lost profits for founder Biz Stone.
Speaking of profits, the fact that popular videos on YouTube, which meet the correct guidelines the service laid out, can soon be making an income from ad revenue is a pivotal move forward, and might even serve as an incentive for posters to submit higher quality material. It is interesting to see that as the service continues to grow and transform, even police departments are jumping on the social media bandwagon, with the LAPD revolutionizing the way we will search for suspected criminals. Could this be the beginning of social media law enforcement?
The fact of the matter is, social media is here to stay. The eMarketer report only solidifies this position, as 82% of companies within the next 12 months are will have integrated some sort of social media platform into their marketing programs. Only 13% have said outright that they do not use, or are not planning to use, social media any time soon. The main reason? They just don’t know where to begin. This is why it’s important to find a social media marketing company who has a clear strategy for this revolution. They can provide insight as to why social media marketing must be a pivotal aspect of any successful company’s overall business plan.
Lindsay Lohan’s home was broken into a few days ago. Cops are looking into a potential connection between the burglary that recently happened at Lindsay’s and the one at Audrina’s a few months ago.
As TMZ astutely points out, the male burglar in both instances looks strikingly similar (hat and shirt).
Plus, in both scenarios, the burglars entered through unlocked doors.
Lindsay was shows a picture of the burglar and said he “looked familiar”. The wrap on Audrina’s burglars was that he surveillance footage showed them going directly to items they took, indicating they had been there before. People also noticed they were dressed like they were on their way to a Hollywood club after.
Regarding her stolen items, Lindsay tweeted: “that’s how i know it was not a ROBBERY. electronics weren’t taken… just things that a certain old friend knew meant a lot to me”.
Amy Winehouse is suing her former mother-in-law Georgette for copyright infringement and wants 50.000 pounds. While former hubby Blake was in prison she used to write him love letter and mom got a hold of them and tried to sell them to the highest bidder. I dunno, it was a bad thing from mom to do but suing is a bit much.
Britney and her former lover/paparazzi Adnan Ghalib might still have a future together. Apparently if there would not have been a conservatorship they would still be a couple. Brit is still in love with the sleaze bag. She has a new boyfriend now but he is more pushed on my her daddy because he is such a good guy. And we all now Brit loves the bad ones!! I feel the crazies coming back to Britney really soon!!
All the secrets of Lindsay Lohan might be on the street soon. During the robbery of her house some very incriminating pictures and videos of her have been stolen along with legal documents that could cause great embarrassment. Poor girl.
Chris Brown got off really lucky in the sentencing of his beat-down of Rihanna. He only got 5 years of probation, 1400 hours of community service and a year of domestic abuse classes. Community service will be cleaning graffiti and washing cars in his home-state of Virginia. He should have gotten a lot more, Paris Hilton had to go to jail for driving without a valid license and he only gets probation. It’s not like this is his first time being violent.
A raging wildfire raced down a mountain slope in Greece, nearing 2 ancient temples while tens of thousands of residents evacuated their homes.
*Not now, but in several years, they’ll see the humor in the fact that it was a Greece fire.

*On the bright side, this means Steven Tyler will have to keep touring for a couple more years.
Insurance adjusters started probing what’s left of a Kentucky prison after a fiery riot injured 16 and forced 700 inmates to be relocated.
*And thus ends the experiment of letting inmates have town hall meetings on healthcare.

*They’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse, because they’d make you feel so guilty if you did.
“One Tree Hill” actor Antwon Tanner, who plays, Skills, pleaded guilty to selling over a dozen Social Security numbers for $10,000. He’s expected to get up to a year in prison.
*Did he do it to maintain his Hollywood backlot fake street cred?
*And by the way, can’t impressionists be charged with identity theft?
When Discovery flies to the space station, it’ll deliver a treadmill named for Stephen Colbert and pick up a Buzz Lightyear toy. In a month, the founder of Cirque du Soleil will go there to do acrobatics. NASA can’t keep people interested in what they’re doing, so they’re turning to pop culture and entertainment.
*How about letting NASCAR driver Tony Stewart fly it? You can even put his sponsors all over the outside of the shuttle.
*That’s the French contribution to space exploration? Acrobats?
CT police accused a Wal-Mart worker of beating an assistant manager in a store aisle with an aluminum baseball bat after getting reprimanded for the second time in days. They’re still looking for him.
*He did such a thorough job of beating him with the bat, baseball officials want to test him for steroids.
*So you’ll understand why the greeter at that particular Wal-Mart will be wearing a catcher’s mask for a few weeks.
Guitarist James Burton led about 800 guitar players to celebrate his 70th birthday, but failed to set a world record. Guinness lists the world’s largest guitar ensemble as 1,802 participants.
*He didn’t make it because all the people who brought Guitar Hero guitars didn’t count.
Police were called for the second time in 3 months to the LA home of Lindsay Lohan to investigate a reported burglary. She discovered the break-in after coming home at 3am and called her dad. He says a safe was ripped off a wall and a couple of watches were taken.
*It’s a real problem for the family because the safe is where they keep Lindsay’s future bail money.
*Did she come home at 3am, or crash into the home at 3am?
A suit says a $3 million painting by US artist Brice Marden was destroyed during a move from Moscow to NY because of negligence by Lufthansa and others involved in the move.

The CD booklet that comes with Sean Kingston’s new album has a special image fans can hold up to their computers’ webcams to launch a karaoke session. When they finish, they can post them where others can vote on their favorites. Kingston says, “It’s going to be dope.”

*Ashley Simpson and the surviving member of Milli Vanilli are very excited about it.
Famed celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz is close to financial ruin. She took a $24 million loan out using her photos as collateral. That debt is due September 8 and if she can’t pay, she could lose her life’s work and her two houses.

Jason Kahle of northwestern Ohio, took his girlfriend up in his dad’s plane so she could look down at a recently harvested wheat field. There in the field, spelled out in large plastic letters, was a proposal.

The wife of former presidential candidate John Edwards opened a furniture store. Elizabeth Edwards opened Red Window, and husband John attended the opening. A federal grand jury is investigating whether campaign funds were illegally paid to his mistress to keep her quiet.
*Her slogan is, “You better not let me catch you with another furniture store!”
After reading that a 32-year old mother of two would be caned because she was caught drinking beer, my first thought was “Wow, the Amish aren’t screwing around anymore!” Then I thought, “No way, 32-years old and only two kids; she can’t be Amish!”, and I continued to read on.
The lady guilty of this wonderful act was Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno of Malaysia. It seems that drinking alcohol is against Islamic law. In fact, getting caught drinking can result in a three year prison term, as well as six lashes with the cane. To put that in perspective, an Islamic man convicted of rape also gets the cane, but he has to get his lashes with his pants down. Hardly seems fair to me, but hey, it’s their crazy little religion, they can do what they want I guess.
The “criminal” was given a short reprieve though because of the Islamic holiday Ramadan. Ramadan is where they fast for several days (good God, is it any wonder they blow themselves up?), so she will not be caned until after the holiday is over. How humane of them.
It made me wonder how long a trainwreck celebrity like Lindsay Lohan would last as a Muslim? At best, she might be able to make it from Monday to Thursday. Friday nights for her might as well just start with a good sound caning…just to get it out of the way.
It wouldn’t just be the alcohol though, the Islamic dress code for women would do her in too. They are forced to cover their entire bodies, and this is a girl who can’t get out of a BMW without showing off her “woo ha ha”. I’ve seen that thing so many times on the internet I feel like I ought to get her something for Sweetest’s Day this year.
Islamic authorities claim though that the caning isn’t meant to be punishment as much as it is to be educational. It serves as a deterrent for others who have the urge to break the law. To me, it seems more like a deterrent to those thinking about becoming a Muslim.
