She Built An
Empire And
Raised A Dinah'sty!  
 

She's created an unsurpassed phenomenon, built an impressive empire and raised a historical Dinah'sty ... all at only 22!

While Ladies around the world traditionally get busy by now, obsessing, talking and planning for The Dinah, it is just as
important to remind everyone about the woman who shines making a career working behind the scenes to produce THE most talked about Lesbian event year after year.

And why not? After all, before The Dinah, there was Mariah - Mariah Hanson that is!

Armed with steadfast courage, wit and a savvy sense of business, Hanson has grabbed the entrepreneurial torch - chasing dreams, breaking stereotypes and forging the way for the next generation of DYI moguls.

More than just an event promoter blessed with incredible success, Hanson has also become a (militant) voice to be reckoned with as a dedicated advocate for LGBT rights and also for women in general.

By Natalie Shirinian

The world of fashion is having another movement. There have been many surges of youth and culture that have hit this area in many forms in its relatively long history. For years the public has been fascinated even obsessed with editorial spreads
dripping with striking shoes and jewelry, red carpets featuring stars painted with red lips and luxurious hair, and models on the runway breaking out the newest season of threads.  In this industry every detail counts. From the best photographers, to the upmost talented hair and makeup stylists, down to the sleekest manicure, one man out of many is
pulling it all together, and his name is Brian Duck.

Meet Justin Utley 

 

By Dan Maierle    

 

Let's face it- the prospects for even the most talented and hard-working artists making it big in the current American music industry are grim at best.  CD sales are tumbling faster than digital sales can pick up the slack, media outlets that have traditionally 'broken' artists have splintered, and artists must
compete with entertainment juggernauts like gaming, social networks and viral videos for the time and attention of consumers.  What can an indie artist do to tip the scales?
