I came across this article on www.blackenterprise.com where they did a article on Angela Yee about her side hustles in order to survive out here in the world. I have always preach this to my friends and family which some listen and some of them just want to depend on others to take care of them. Well sorry folks that is not me. Now even though I do have a fulltime job but I also have a side hustles too. I love a certain lifestyle plus as your kids get older the more expensive they get.
“Before joining Power 105’s Breakfast Club morning show, New York radio personality Angela Yee held down several positions in the music and fashion industries. Despite her current success on-air, the media maven learned from past money mistakes and keeps her pockets lined with multiple streams of income. “I’m fortunate because a lot of things I do on the side are all things that support my career,” she says. “I encourage people to do things on the side even if you’re not going to make a lot of money from it if it something that is beneficial to you and will help you in the long run with your career.” Yee shares her various celebrity hustles:
Brand Endorsements
As a public figure that’s always on the scene, Yee has built a reputation as an “it” girl that corporate brands are willing to invest in. She currently serves as an Ambassador for popular liquor company Belvedere Vodka. “A lot of liquor companies approached me to work with them, but working with Belvedere wasn’t all about the money,” she says. “It’s something I drink anyway and I can represent it properly. It was a better fit for me than some of the other offers I got.”
Contributing Writer
A Jane of all trades, Yee puts her English major to good use penning articles and conducting interviews for various magazines and Websites. However, it’s a side hustle that’s more about exposure than a paycheck. “Writing assignments do not pay well,” she confesses. “It might as well be free, but for me it’s a good way to promote myself. Just like my blog site. TeamYee.tv doesn’t make any money. In fact, I pay for that, but it’s something I need to have under my belt to establish myself. You have to make sure to invest back into yourself.”
Artist Manager
Building relationships during her first job as the assistant to the CEO of Wu-Tang Corporation, Yee became the longtime manager of hip-hop artist GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan, and later New Orleans rapper Jay Electronica. While she’s stepped back from management full-time, Yee remembers the rigors and realities of the position. “Management is sometimes a thankless job but you should get at least 10% of whatever the [talent] is getting.”
Party Host
While most people attend parties to have fun, Yee uses events as another way to earn extra funds. Serving as a host for an event comes at a cost. “You shouldn’t do it for less than $1K and if you go out of the area and have to get on a flight that’s even more money,” she rationalizes. “They should also pay you more because you’re gone for the entire day, potentially losing out on other opportunities.”
She’s practically Hollywood royalty — and definitely one to watch!
Baroness Monica von Neumann — born Monica Ford in Detroit, Michigan — is living a fairytale life, of sorts.
She fell in love and married a wealthy Austrian Baron who swept her off her feet and introduced her to the jet-setting life of the rich and famous.
Now on her own after the death of her beloved husband, the stunning Baroness has re-invented herself as a businesswoman, whose mission is to make luxury accessible to everyone.
RadarOnline.com chatted with the Baroness about her fascinating journey from America’s heartland to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood — and why no one, quite literally, can hold a candle to her!
Radar: Baroness, as a little girl growing in Detroit, could you ever have imagined living the life you lead today?
Monica: Never. Not in my wildest dreams.
Radar: As a young girl, you had a great passion for dance, but I understand you also dreamed of being a CEO. Where did that ambition come from?
Monica: My grandfather worked for a soda factory and took me to the factory. I was impressed with the operations. I wondered at that young age who worked behind the scenes. Ever since then, I was obsessed with big corporations.

Radar: The late Sonny Bono changed your life by introducing you to your future husband — Austrian Baron John von Neumann — the first importer of Volkswagens to the U.S., and son of the doctor to the King of England and Spain. Tell me about that chance introduction and what must have been a whirlwind romance.
Monica: The romance was quite a whirlwind. We met at a dinner party in Palm Springs. I would say he fell in love at first glance. He was quite smitten with my quick wit and attitude. We had a long, insightful conversation and that was that. He soon put the word out that he wanted to get to know me more. Fairly quickly, it was obvious that we were meant to be together. After six months we met, he asked me to marry him. My late husband certainly had a way about himself. He was kind, extremely intelligent, smooth and definitely knew how to treat a woman.
Radar: Your life with the Baron must have been filled with excitement and adventures. What were some of the highlights of your life together?
Monica: Traveling the world, going to South Africa and the eventual birth of our daughter.
Radar: As you mentioned, you and the Baron had a daughter together. Did you ever worry that she was growing up in a life filled with privilege — a life, I’d image, that was very different from your upbringing.
Monica: I did worry, but I did made sure that there were certain things in place. The first order of business was to make sure that she was not educated in Beverly Hills. She went to private school in Switzerland. The base of her upbringing was “You are not defined by material things, but by your character.”
Radar: Sadly, the Baron passed away from cancer in 2003. How did you personally change as a woman living now on your own?
Monica: It was a rude awakening. I was now mother and father. Also, I had to take over where he left off. Tending to corporations, lawyers, homes, etc. My husband did prepare me over the years.
Radar: Tell me about your personal philosophy that anyone can attain some level of luxury in their life.
Monica: I believe strongly in two things: First, we all a diamond in the rough and use a bit of polishing, whether it is treating yourself to fresh cut flowers or a beautiful candle or a set of nice lines… things that make you feel good. All these things are attainable. Secondly, I believe that everyone deserves to be around beautiful things. Beautiful things do not equate to expensive. There are simple ways to achieve attainable luxury. In my homes, there is quite a mixture: from priceless art to a fabulous art piece from Pier 1. Funny to say that everyone comments on the less expensive piece when they enter my home. No matter what space, you have elegant touches can happen with a budget.
Radar: Tell me about your signature line of candles. What inspired you to launch the collection and what makes them unique?
Monica: My home fragrance line Baroness von Neumann is inspired by my travels and notable people in my life. I have had the gift and opportunity to travel around the world and experience breathtaking moments. These moments I meticulously put in a candle to share with everyone. Your senses including your sense of smell is a very powerful tool to take you back to places and times in your life. These candles represent decades of happy memories and far off places to be lit for any mood and occasion.
Radar: What is the cost and where can people purchase them?
Monica: Each candle cost $49.50 and I do have a divine gift set for $59.50. All available for purchase on my website www.BaronessCandles. com.
Radar: I understand you are in the process of expanding your empire. Tell me about some of the new products that people can look forward to.
Monica: Currently I am working on a grand suite collection with expansion in every part of your home. I am in the development stage for textiles, flatware, linen and accessories, as well as other collections created for specific areas of the home. I will always pay extra attention to my passion for my inaugural home fragrance collection and my future collections.
Radar: With your gorgeous looks and outgoing personality, it seems like you’d be a natural fit for a reality TV show like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Would you ever do a show like that?
Monica: With whatever TV project I am approached with I consider several vital non-negotiables. My integrity and self-respect shall always be intact. I have a legacy to uphold for my daughter and my late husband’s surname. I will not participate any project that sacrifices that.
Radar: What do you think of the way women — especially strong women — are portrayed on reality TV?
Monica: To each their own. It is not my place to judge any woman’s decision to be on reality TV. I will say that the camera does film what is real and present. If a strong woman is “portrayed” as honest, integrity, intact and with conviction … then I am fully confident that they will be portrayed as a simple, strong woman. Now, if a woman screams, fights and stands up for themselves with no tact or self-respect, then that’s a different story.
Radar: I know that giving back is very important to you. Tell me about the charities close to your heart.
Monica: There are many charities and non-profits that hold a very special place in heart: March to the Top is an amazing organization that helps underprivileged people of Africa by providing support in health care, education and conservation. They pay extra attention to building orphanages for children living with HIV/AIDS. I visited Kenya with March to the Top and witnessed firsthand the amazing work they do and will forever be changed by my experiences there.
Inner City Arts is a dedicated organization that provides art programs to inner city communities in Los Angeles. They keep the art programs alive in communities where it is non-existent due to the lack of funding.
Radar: Finally, what’s the secret to your success?
Monica: There is no real secret. I always live by a very few rules: Never forget where I come from. Treat everyone with respect and dignity. Always stay true to my identity and always uphold my personal integrity. Most importantly work hard and follow your passion.
For all you GlamChick out there that love nail art here is a neat trick for you to try.
Damn and here I thought it would be Chrissy.

If you love watching reality shows as much as I do then you know about this episode which was aired on Vh1 Love and Hip Hop, where they show a little snippet of a interview Olivia have done by confronting Funkmaster Flex on Hot 97.
Olivia went to this interview to aired somethings out which seem like a big issue for her since she claim Flex was dissing her on the radio. Well to be honest with you Flex was coming straight at Olivia letting her know the real deal but I don’t think Olivia really listen.
I wish someone would take Olivia to the side and just be straight up honest with her. Look I love listening to Olivia music but since she has been on this show Love & Hip Hop she only been producing one track a season. She had offer to get a record deal which they offer 3 years. Out of those 3 years all she had to do was produce 3 albums. She didn’t take the deal.
So after that news I’m like how is anyone going to take Olivia serious if she not on her true A game. I mean here she was on a reality show with alot of opportunities which each season so far she only produce 1 single. Olivia need to wake up and get on job so people can truly take her serious.
Well I am looking forward to seeing what she have produce. I hope this time it will be a full album.
Whose to say that the car industry can’t have a advertisement war to see who win. Well here we have Audio in a billboard advertisement war with BMW.

The idea is the latest amusing tactic a Brazilian-based language school have used to inspire people in the largest South American country to learn English.
In the CCAA’s new advert, two teenagers are seen emerging from the water after an aircraft accident.
Speaking Portuguese, the young men are welcomed to the island named after the Transformers 1&2 actress, but when she fails to understand them Fox is quickly turned off.
The American – who has appeared The Hangover movies – gives them a far less attractive welcome and aggressively shouts ‘Welcome to Mike Tyson Island!’
After glimpsing one of his clones being put in a professional fighting-style headlock, the gentlemen scream in horror at the scene as there are several fires burning around them.
