Megan thinks Ke$ha should stop making music… until she spends a night in her shoes. Watch as JP and Alex from Cash Cash open up their studio for Megan to take a stab a singing “Tick Tock.”

Oh Ke$ha,

We’ve heard your songs on the radio and saw your outrageous and totally tacky lip colors on TV, and although many will say it’s been fun…

I’m saying ENOUGH, because….

5)…talking over a music bed and calling it a “song” is Rhianna’s job.
4)…you’re teaching little girls to idolize creepy old men (i.e. Mick Jagger)
3)…all you really need is a hug from your father
2)…. you got a 1500 on your SATs; you should know better.

and lastly

1)… you’re influencing other talentless people to become auto-tune pop stars (i.e. Megan West)

and no body wants that. Trust me.

Sincerely,

Megan

Megan and Joelle share tips for giving creative holiday gifts that won’t break the bank!

Diary of a Planet Verge Girl segments of Planet Verge TV give viewers a glimpse behind the scenes of the show and into the world of our staff. On this episode, Rosina and Joelle (post scrumptious banana nut pancakes from Tom’s Diner) dive into Rosina’s wig collection and discuss hair disasters. Find out which salon chain to which Joelle will never return and how Rosina ended up as Gerard Way’s double.

Joelle and Megan share tips for living the fab life- on a budget. From food shopping to manicures, we’ve got money saving tips for which you can thank us later.

(Joelle and Rosina go guido during their post-editing shopping trip).

Sweet Avenue Bakeshop and Planet Verge present Cupcakefest 2010: A celebration of music and cupcakes to benefit the Passaic Animal Shelter. Here’s some behind-the-scenes with our very own Rosina, the first girl to ever enter the cupcake eating contest! She came in a close third and we’re super proud! Watch our official interviews with the bands and their performances + lots more coming soon!

I had the opportunity of working on the incredibly talented makeup team made up of Pittsburgh makeup artists Julie Marckisotto, Lisa Stovash, Lyndsie Mento, and Vanessa Joseph.  We got to work with the outstanding makeup line-Obsessed Minerals (www.obsessedminerals.com) created by Dr. Michael Huwe; I normally never sing the praises of a specific makeup line, but this line was properly named because I am now extremely obsessed with it.

What really made the night great for me was working with such a wonderful team of artists; being in a crazy fashion atmosphere can make people a little stressed and rude, but everyone including the models and hosts were all laughing and having a great time together–that’s what makes a job worth it all.

The night overall showcased some great local clothing on the runway designed by Shop .412, Sew Addicted, and Decade Pittsburgh and worn by some super great local and nationally known celebrities. The main reason the night was such a success was because of everyone’s efforts to come together and donate time, money, efforts, and passion to be selfless and help others, that’s a rarity in today’s world and I’m so proud to have been a part of such a great group of people and worthy cause. Here are a few pictures I snapped backstage and on the runway from the event.

Hanging out with Patrick Bailey and James Harrison of the Pittsburgh Steelers

Chatting up with Ashley Elmore from The Bachelor and her sister Erin Elmore from The Apprentice–they were really fun girls.

James and Patrick were comparing makeup, you know, can’t be too girly looking as big tough football players and all

The models were just as wonderful as the awesome black and gold clothing designs

Dominic Janidas, Anna Delattre, Rachel Kernic and Nick Ceraso the wonderful people who made the night possible.

While on a break between interviewing bands at Angels and Kings, the PV Girls reflect on their high school days and share their techniques for cheating. Don’t take notes on this kids!

Every year, we gather our NJ/NYC staff for a photoshoot (and wish our out-of-state girls could join!). This time around, we aimed for a tea party /picnic theme surrounded by cherry blossoms. It turned out to be a freezing, cherry blossomless and allergy-filled April day, but we still had a blast.

In the meantime, enjoy this video and check out behind-the-scenes photos by Will Deloi of True-Feel Clothing at Facebook.com/PlanetVerge.

Rosina spends most of her PV time editing episodes of On the Verge. But now, she’s stepping out from behind the computer and infront of the camera to host! See what she has to say just minutes before her first interview and laugh at the advice Jess gives her!
