CAA x Blackpills x Super High

EntertainmentCandy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

The other night I had the pleasure of attending CAA's L.A. premiere of the Blackpills series Super High. Blackpills is a digital media company that is a pioneer in short scripted content.

The digital series is written and directed by Edouard Pluvieux and Kev Adams, who also stars along with YouTube star DeStorm Power and model Sarah McDaniel.

The premise of the breakout show is that this misfit team is able to fight crime after receiving super powers from magical weed. Although it might sound a bit far-fetched, the show is refreshingly funny and action-packed.

You can watch all 10 episodes of the first season starting on September 25 on Blackpills

NEW APP SNAP+STYLE GIVES WOMEN REAL-TIME ACCESS TO THEIR OWN PROFESSIONAL STYLIST

Interactive Styling Service Platform Launches Today on iTunes and App Store

Revolutionary app SNAP+STYLE (S+S) launches today with a next-level styling platform tailored to democratizing access to a personal stylist.  Simply download the app, and a personalized, luxury service once reserved only for celebrities and a lucky few is now available for all.

The app enables a two-way dialogue between clients and a community of stellar S+S stylists with editorial, celebrity and brand experience. The stylists offer personalized, spot-on fashion recommendations that pair items from women’s wardrobes with apparel for purchase. All at the snap of a pic and a touch of a screen. In real time.

“Like many women, I longed for a knowledgeable personal stylist to guide me through shopping investments and daily wardrobe choices, enabling me to ask: How do I wear this piece?  How do I take it from day to evening?“ says co-founder Anna Jensen. “Now, I get real-time answers and complete confidence in my look. Every woman wants that sense of self-assuredness, and we built SNAP+STYLE to ensure that we all do.”

Bill McComb, former CEO of Liz Claiborne (now Kate Spade), an investor/advisor for SNAP+STYLE, immediately envisioned the game-changing retailer benefits. “I see in this technology the ultimate tool for a retailer,” says McComb.  “This is a platform that enables brands to take clienteling beyond traditional email outreach. Empowering store level associates to use a social-like interface to tap the power of two-way connection builds a community of loyal brand acolytes. That is nothing short of a very big idea."

Raul Fernandez, veteran tech CEO and Vice Chairman of Monumental Sports and Entertainment (owner of the Washington Wizards, Capitals, and Verizon Center) helped fund and accelerate the development of the business by recruiting Co-Founder CTO Gary Myers and fellow investors Bill McComb, ToddBradley and Marc McMorris. 

Explains Mr. Fernandez, "Women are already highly engaged and interested in fashion. This platform provides anopportunity to build on that passion, redefining the level of deep customer interaction to create the most highly engaged community in the fashion space.”

SNAP+STYLE is now available for free to download on the Apple iOS App Store and iTunes.
