life: TANQUERAY launches WERESISTSIMPLE.COM – a community of bloggers!

yes yes ya’ll, i am blogging for TANQUERAY’s new site — WERESISTSIMPLE.COM!

“The online destination will connect consumers with celebrities, rising stars and a host of personalities who live rich, bold, interesting lives. WeResistSimple.com rejects things that are bland and embraces vibrant careers, lifestyles and progressive culture”…

i’m blogging alongside some very talented folks; RICKEY KIM, MARIEL HAENN, TALIB KWELI, EDDIE CRUZ, JONATHAN MANNION and more!

although the site has launched and other people have started blogging, i’m not scheduled to start until APRIL. i’ll remind you ;)

++++++++++
the evening occurred at THE SOHO HOUSE (i’m going to hustle hard this year to get a membership!)
