Beyonce's PR Team


I couldn’t think of a “favorite” YouTube video for this assignment. Every minute 24 hours of video are uploaded so it is fairly challenging to find a favorite, however, there is one video that sticks out as relevant to me. When I was in high school in 2008 there was a video posted on YouTube of the music mogul Beyonce, falling down the stairs at a concert in Orlando Florida. At the time of this incident the news spread very quickly, I heard about it on the radio and I immediately ran home to look it up. After watching the video several times, I then shared it with my mother, who shared it with her friends and etc. The very next day when I went to watch it again the video was no longer available anywhere. Each website including, YouTube, that housed the video had taken it down. This account of Beyonce and her tragic spill down a flight of stairs is relevant to me because, as a public relations major who is interested in client representation it is vital for me to know that with the proper knowledge and expertise of digital and social media it is not impossible to remove unwelcome items from the internet.

The video has since been re-uploaded


Poor Beyonce

Award season

As I it here...doing some homework....watching the Grammy's, my next blog post is about my favorite blog or website and it would hands down have to be E! Online. 

I have been E! obsessed for a few year now, it's actually the reason I choose to study my major of Public Relations and Marketing. Entertainment news, celebrities and their news, fashion and entertainment gossip all of the things that absorb all of my attention. My favorite thing about E! Online is the smart phone app, I receive to the minute updates on any and all things celebrity and fashion. E! Online was the first to update me on the tragic passing of Paul Walker, the somewhat "devastating" split of the Jonas Brothers and the....indescribable engagement announcement of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, even as I sit here and type I'm receiving updates on who just won the Grammy for Best New Artist (Macklemore and Ryan Lewis). 

Now that I think about it that has to be my favorite thing about E! Online the app and the website, the up to the minute updates. Whenever I need to know something or search something celebrity or fashion related, my goto website is undoubtedly E! Online.  


E! Online

Blog post #1....

I've actually been wanting to start a blog for a really long time now and this assignment just gave me an excuse to go ahead and get started!

Okay....Guess I'll start by talking about myself (my favorite subject) I am 22 years old & I'll be expecting a degree from the University of West Georgia on April 26th 2014 and I couldn't be more excited!

The title of my blog the, "Fabulous Life Of..." was a no brainer for me. When I started my Facebook page, a million years ago, in high school I titled my page TheFabulous Cyra Lynn and I later did the same thing for my Twitter page @ThaFabulous0ne unfortunately the name was unavailable for my InstaGram account however I was able to sneak a little fabulous-ness in with @enuFABoutme. I guess you could say I'm obsessed with the word at this point with 1,000 Facebook friends and 300 twitter followers (I know thats chump change compared to others) I've become attached to the name and I try my best to identify it with each social presence.

Now that I have started this blog I am determined to make it *Fabulous* in every sense of the word
