I had the opportunity to spend 2 days in Los Angeles, consulting for Dina Bar-EL of the Dina Bar-EL Fashion Empire. She is an amazingly brilliant designer that gained significant popularity in 2004 and 2005 when Kate Hudson wore one of her dress designs in the movie, 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days'. Since
Kate graced the movie set in the stunning yellow satin dress, Dina has been blessed with a growing business, and a brand that is now known world-wide www.DinaBarEL.com. Her and I became friends after a chance encounter in the first class cabin on American airlines from LAX to Dallas in 2007.
While I was in LA, we worked on a business plan and further refining her brand. It is always refreshing to step across varying verticals, realizing the proliferation of similiarities that varying industries possess.
From my desk I could see beautiful dresses, recently designed by Dina Bar-EL. Her dresses are known for their fit, the elegant fabrics that she uses to create them, and the beautiful designs.
The dresses are breathtaking. You've surely seen one of her dresses, as Hollywood has a love affair with the Dina Bar-El dresses.
Her dresses have been worn by Fergi, Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham, Byonce', the Pussy Cat Dolls, Rihanna, Tara Reid, Geena Davis, Holly Robinson Peete, Tyra Banks, Penelope Cruz, Carmen Electra, Mary J Blige- - and the list goes on and on and on.
We started the second day out with breakfast with Won-G (www.won-g.com). Won-G is a Haitian born rapper, entrepeneuer, businesman and philanthropist. He is a breath of fresh air, very different from most of the stars that you may meet in Beverly Hills. He has started a blue jean company called Sovage Jeans (www.sovagedenim.com) that has kicked off to a superb start.

Here the 'breakfast club' (grin) meets to strategize over egg whites and toast. God is good.
