"CASADON"

This week's pick for the
 "ON THE GRIND" spot
goes to CASADON of Blue Diamond Entertainment and Nu Music Group!

Grindin' is nothing new for the Waterloo, Iowa native.  Casadon has done it all from performing at local shows to rocking crowds on the same stage at DUB auto shows with artists such as Twista, The Dream, and Lloyd.  His new hit single, ironically titled, "I'm On My Grind" has already hit airwaves and is being well received by listeners and fans. 

To hear feedback of Casadon's new single by National Recording Artist Gorilla Zoe on B96's Peter Parker radio show, visit his Official Myspace page at

DWhat's up Twin Cities! Welcome to the MaXXposure E-Newsletter where you will find the Latest News, read the hottest Interviews, get caught up on the latest Fashion and so much more! Inside you can also find out who's "On The Grind, who's the Model Pic of The Week, and what's going on in the Twin Cities entertainment scene!

This week, we've added a hot new Fashion section!

With so much going on in the Twin Cities, it's very hard to chose where to go, when to go and most importantly, how to dress. These days our beloved cities are feeling more like mini-Hollywood than anything else and I feel like I am losing my mind. The other night we decided to go out to 414 Soundbar in the Warehouse District. It took me three hours to put together an outfit and I still didn't look even half as good as I wanted to. It's hard being a Diva. It takes the proper attire, shoes, accessories, hair and nails... Although there are nail and hair salons on every corner there are not many high fashion salons, boutiques, or designers within the cities that provide services to minorities. Must we be forced to shop at the local Macy's, Bloomingdale's, and Forever 21's forever? I am so over the same styles, colors and looks that these chains have to offer and I would be beyond upset if I showed up with the same outfit as another chic at an event! Which made me think; if the Cities are evolving, shouldn't the fashion scene follow suit?

Concerts, nightclub events, red carpets, all of these new and exciting venues for us to attend and little to no versatility in style. The Cities are becoming known for the hot new fashion stores, boutiques and designers but if you take a good look at who these places are geared towards, you will notice it is not us, the Hip Hop/Urban Divas and Dons. The looks, styles and price tags all are geared toward the suburban or white urban cultures of the Cities and although I was proud to see Minneapolis represented in a hot fashion magazine, I am disappointed that our urban designers haven't been given the recognition that they deserve.

With 2008 bringing more star quality events to the cities we need to see the hot hair designers, nail artists, fashion designers and so on be exposed! We know they are out there; MaXXposure E-newsletter has even spotlighted a few! It took several years to get our Entertainment scene to where it is and being a true Diva I don't want to and simply can't wait another decade for our fashion scene to catch up! As B says; Whatever we do we have to take it to the MaXX, so fashion designers where ya'll at?! Twin Cities' let's take it to the MaXX on all levels!!!

With that said, thank you for subscribing to the hottest newsletter in the Twin Cities, hope you enjoy!

KIMFASHION BEST OR HOT MESS!

By Kim of Glamorous Life, LLC

R. Kelly recently added a new promotional picture to his myspace page ( www.myspace.com/rkelly).     The talented songwriter, producer, and artist has a new fashion look to accompany his new single, "Hair Braider,"  which can be found on his upcoming album set to release Summer 2008.

I'm not quite convinced this is Fashion's Best, but I'll let you decide!

This week's Fashion Best or Fashion Mess photo is of R.Kelly:
