What do you do on a 6-hour roadtrip from Charlotte, NC to Nashville, TN other than being bored out of your fucking mind? After chugging a couple $1 shooters and spending countless hours surfing through multiple playlists on Spotify, you can always play a game of “21 Questions” with one of your lesbian friends via text message. Well, that’s what I did… This is Emilia Ortiz, a 20-something New Yorker from Brooklyn, who likes to smoke a lot of pot and transform pretty girls into even prettier girls once they sit in her make-up chair.

Trust me. We at Greedmont Park truly understand what can result from hard work. Mach Five just completed their Ratchet Shit Trilogy in 2 months. With little time to celebrate, and before I knew it, they were already shooting their video for “Turn Up Juice.” Word of the Day/Month/Year: Werk.
Since winning the 2012 SXSW Coast 2 Coast in March, I haven’t seen Houston lyricist Onehunnidt celebrating much. Sure, he did host a number of events at some known hot spots, but even then he was putting in “werk.” Even after the amount of recognition on his “Keep It 100″ mixtape and a number of mentions by the Houston Press, Onehunnidt has continued to release new tracks and relevant videos that complement the project. The latest, directed by Coreigh Terry, being “Werk.”
Forget what they told you. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Jesse Owens and Usain Bolt never quit after their first win. How many total miles would you say they have ran? Werk.

Greedmont Park sat down with young, talented singer/songwriter/artist/producer Tiyon “TC” Christian for a discussion about his inspirations, upbringing, and his career. The Paris, Kentucky born vocalist has worked with a diverse group of artists ranging from Brandy to the Backstreet Boys; to the blossoming, upcoming star, Jacob Latimore. He is now based in Atlanta and is ready to turn the music game upside down not only with his songwriting, but with his own music as well. (more…)

I can remember very little about my years in high school. Other than playing team sports, teenage hormones, and art, it wasn’t a choice for me not to graduate. I didn’t quite understand how minimum wage worked, but I saw that fast food didn’t lead to wealth. And as a kid, there were a lot of things I wanted!
I’m unsure where, or when, I developed this early understanding of the socioeconomic status, but I just knew I wanted more. To get more, meant to graduate with a decent GPA and score well enough on the SATs to get into a college. I wasn’t sure what I would major in. I just wanted to live better and had an understanding that education would help me achieve my goals.

In America today, it is no mystery that sex sells. It is literally everywhere — from soap ads to clothing companies to music videos. Sex in advertising is used more in America than anywhere else in the world. Although this is not a new phenomenon, the standards of European beauty has affected females of all races here in America, but primarily the image of the strong black women.
Since the beginning of advertising, they have used illustrations, wood carvings, and/or photographs of attractive women to sell a product that at times, had very little to do with the use or the intended consumer of the product. This can be seen as early as 1885 when trading cards boasting provocative women was placed into W. Duke & Sons cigarette packs. Within five years, they were the leading cigarette brand. Since it’s introduction, it is no coincidence that this trend would heavily increase over time. Sexuality is considered the most powerful tools in marketing and advertising. Since sexuality is biologically driven, it can not be avoided. With the increase in sexual advertising, there is no doubt in my mind that an increase in sexual activity has developed with it. There is said to be “no morals in business” and I strongly agree. This is apparent more today than ever. (more…)

I must be one awesome resume ‘designer’ (fancy, i know) seeing that anytime a resume is in need of some lovin’, I’m usually the one my friends turn too. I guess that’s because I’m pretty good at staying employed and I’m great at ’embellishing’…lol. During these tough economic times any minor flaw will have your resume sent to the bottom of the stack- or even worst, the wastebasket. With that being said, as common sense as these resume tips may be, I have seen ALL the following mistakes on resumes belonging to people that I know- no names, I’ll spare them the embarrassment. Save yourself and your future employment! Don’t let the Human Resource gals cackle and throw you to the side, take note!
1. Careless Mistakes
-”Speak, read, and wright English/Spanish.”–seen by Angie Beauchamp, Charm Factory manager.
-A candidate actually misspelled her own first name, writing “Barbara” as “Barabara.”–Mark Gollihur, who managed a video store when he received that application.
-A resume objective stated the candidate wanted a job as a nurse. The job she was applying for? Security manager.–Philip Farina, author of “Antiterrorism Careers.”
-”They write, ‘I’ve researched your company and would be a perfect fit.’ And then they call your company by a competitor’s name.”–Tony Katsulos, who has weeded out this cut-and-paste gaffe many times.
-This one says it all: “I’m very detale oriented.”–reported by Sharon Armstrong, the author of “The Essential HR Handbook.”
-Instead of “biological organisms,” a university job candidate wrote “biological orgasms.”–from Berit Brogaard, associate professor of philosophy and psychology at the University of Missouri, Saint Louis.
-”Psychology professor” became “psycho. professor,” and “analytic philosophy” became “anal. philosophy.”–”Asso. professor” Brogaard has seen these and other abbreviations lead to resume trouble.
Lesson: Be vigilant about spelling, proofread each resume a few times, get someone else to look at your resume for errors, and be wary of abbreviations.
2. TMI
-”GPA: 2.0″–seen by Kristen Barrett, Spark Design.
-A man appeared to be the perfect candidate for an accounting position. “But at the bottom he mentioned he would not be able to interview immediately as he was serving time for embezzlement.”–seen by Jodi R. R. Smith, of Mannersmith Etiquette Consulting.
-”I was fired.”–Robin Ryan, the author of “Winning Resumes,” says this is one of the most common blunders she comes across.
-A few clients have actually put their social security numbers on their resumes.–Mike Ballard, Turning Points Research.
-A recent graduate sent a resume that came through with track changes and comments from a variety of people. Adding to the blunder: “Some of the changes were not for the better.”–Debbie Mitchell, president, Mullen Public Relations.
Lesson: What you exclude from your resume is almost as important as what you include. Don’t include any information that doesn’t contribute–or worse, detracts–from your overall selling message. Keep in mind that your resume is just your ticket to interview-land. You will have plenty of opportunities to provide employers with a complete picture once you’ve landed an interview.
3. Bad Moves
-A candidate included photos of himself at the gym and a glamour photo with his resume for an administrative position with a financial services provider.–from Philip Farina, who also runs Manta Security Management Recruiters.
-Email address: Bostoncutiee22@example.com.–seen by Stacey Schmidt, a recruiter at Vistaprint.
-A job-seeker used a free return-address sticker from an endangered-wildlife nonprofit on his resume instead of typing his contact information out.–seen by Philip Farina.
-A person reduced his cover letter and three-page resume onto one page and then faxed it.–seen by Penny Miller, Venture HRO.
Lesson: Even the littlest details–both in your resume and how you use your resume–send a message to hiring managers. Be clear about what image you’re trying to get across in your resume, and make sure everything you say and do is consistent with this image.
I found this article at www.hotjobs.yahoo.com/careertools , they have lots of articles there if you need some help gaining employment, advancing in your field or if you are looking for a new career path altogether.

Since its a rainy day, I figured it’d be appropriate to post this German billboard I came across. in 2005 Playboy Germany created these billboard advertisements were printed on special paper, with special ink that reacts to moisture, i.e. rain.
1. The billboard in ‘dry state’
2. The billboard, after it’s rained.
