Merzier owns OGIBag Ventures (www.ogibagproductions.info), a creative production company here in Chicago. Ogi is a true business woman! Ala Oprah Winfrey! Merzier holds a business degree and has aquired her rich history in fashion since age 4.
All set to debut her first collection, Liquid Gold under her own Ogi Merzier Designs (Oct. 9, www.liquidgoldcollection.info) Representing what 30' something women are doing all over America. Going at it independently. Merzier's impressive resume includes styling celebrities including Queen Latifah, Brittany Murphy, Pamela Anderson and Richard Brooks. She has worked in the Hollywood arena for over 7 years. Credits include assistant wardrobe styling in music video's for Hype Williams, assistant wardrobe stylist for television; Homeboys In Outer Space, and the assistant costumer for Two Rivers, starring Martin Sheen. "Holding on to success can be much more challenging than obtaining it! We all have successful moments!", states Merzier. One real life challenge, finding love. Common for today's professional woman and second nature for today's professional black woman. This  newly single fashion impresario, just got back into the dating game. Not easy. "I am looking forward to sharing  my real life dating experiences, ups and downs with love's past, and my expert fashion knowledge and advice. If I can't get a date, I am going to help you look your best so you can get one! I will tell you that skirt is all wrong or those color will make you look heavy...a fashion fairy godmother of sorts to stand up for the ladies!" Ogi says with a smiling voice.  Ooh, and try to find a man for myself!" she adds. 

Jay (J-Hustle) -
Born and raised on Chicago's Westside, this Westinghouse High School grad wants to make his mark in the entertainment industry! So the world needs to get ready for J-Hustle! His myspace page has received over 3 million hits! (www.myspace.com/Jhustlecity) With tracks like "My Swagg", "Chi-Town Raised" and the Chicago underground sensation "Monkey Wrench", it's not hard to see why people can't get enough of his flow. The talent does not stop there, the young man is quite the singer! Think Jamie Fox and R. Kelly! Now think of ladies melting in stadiums, his future looks bright! "When the studio calls, I got to go. I am definitly willing to do what it takes to get my name out there and share my music!", J says earnestly. "When it comes to love...I love to love women! if they have something broken, like my song states...I can come and fix it!", he says with a laugh. "Relationships are tough and for me I know they are going to get tougher as I come closer to reaching my goals. What does the future hold for me romantically, I am not sure about that. I'd love to know what it holds for me physically." Jay states. 
 
Ryan Hodge -

The "king" of the internet! We have one of the most dynamic movers and shakers in Mr. Hodge! He runs www.gioperation.com. An informative blog, rich with topics and articles that provoke and invoke thought not to mention reason. Why is he a mover and shaker? That would be attributed to the fact that he knows where the party is and he knows how the party was conceived! Just check out his site www.blackfolkhotspots.com.
"Just so you know, I have many hats that I wear, besides being a dad, or aspiring to be "The King of the Internet", I am really big in into social networking and marketing... one of the things that I love to do is promote other people...YES!!!" exclaims Ryan via his Facebook page, that also has over 1700 friends. Helping others is yet another amazing attribute that this internet mogul has up his sleeve. "I got to thinking, my destiny maybe to not become a millionare myself, it may just be to help others become millionares!", Ryan shares after what had to be an epiphanic vision. For daily inspiration on the quest for millions check out his www.milliondollargrowth.com site to get your fill. What kind of women does he like? When does he date? How often? This modern scorpio man is a true mystery and likes to remain that way. What opinion will he have, that will definitely vary from week to week. Mr. Hodge loves to keep you guessing!  

Kristine Sisco -
Actress and Self-proclaimed "Shop-a-holic" (vowing to never wear the same outfit twice), recieved her BA in Theatre Performance with an emphasis in Radio/Television from Bradley University in 2006. Her resume includes such theatre credits as "The Toy Box" (performed at the Abbey Hoffman Festival), film credits "They Came From Upstairs" (with director John Schultz), voiceover work commercial work for Pizzeria Uno and a internship at Oldies 104.3 in Chicago. Her credits and bio can be viewed at www.imbd.com and check out www.thistownthemovie.com. This 20 something "it girl" is going to take Hollywood (by way of Chicago) by storm and look damn good while doing it! When it comes to relationships, Kristine wants a man to accept her for the hottie that she is! One of Kristines favorite quotes,  "I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it." from Audrey Hepburn . "It's my time to shine, so you better grab some shades!", Kristine says with enthusiasm.

Cha'vez - This dancer, model, actor, singer, former cheerleader and fashion blogger (www.thelookbychaves.blogspot.com) does it all! Obviously multi-talented, he is trained in ballet, dance, modern and tap. Represented by one of Chicago's Top Modeling Agency (and he has the contract to prove it!) he some how finds moments in between gigs to write songs and screenplays. "I love lots of things and I think that I can have it all", Cha'vez interjects. Add controversy to the list, Cha'vez is openly Gay and extremly conservative in both the Gay and Black communities! When asked how does that work, he simply replies.."it just does!" On matters of the heart, Cha'vez is a true romantic. "Romance is a forgotten element in relationships! Romance does not have a sexual orientation, it just makes people feel wanted.", Cha'vez says abruptly. He continues, "I am going to bring up matters of romance, I am going to be honest about my viewpoints, and when it comes to fashion and pop culture...just like in my blog, I will share my "Opinion on Bitches"! Don't block the show Mom and Dad, it's a late night but a family show, after all, Cha'vez is a conservative!
