  SPECIAL GUEST GUIA RIVERA...
Continued from Page 1 sure all the ladies in attendance feel like the divas they are. Rivera's rise to popularity comes simply from sharing with fans and friends what really goes on inside the music business. Exactly two weeks ago, record producer Vince Lawrence invited Guia Rivera to visit R & B legend R. Kelly's mansion. She decided to ring her girlfriends Vanessa Hill and Darleen Deocariza to accompany her to R. Kelly's party. The Japanese lantern fixtures lining R. Kelly's driveway subtly reveal the King of R & B's affinity for culture. Upon Rivera's arrival to the Tiki-lit barbecue a la R. Kelly, Vince Lawrence greeted her and im-mediately introduced Guia Rivera to R. Kelly himself. "It's simply a dream," Rivera remarks. "I kept asking myself, am I really here with my girls in R. Kelly's living room? Then I got more comfortable at the R. Kelly party. Mister Kelly was a gracious host to all his guests." Naturally Rivera tweet-ed her rendezvous with R. Kelly on her various web pages. This is a day and age in which you will find internet users Tweet-ing, or using a website called Twitter, to update everyone in their social network about their lives. To most people who haven't yet tested the workings on the information revolution, sending an event invitation on Facebook can be quite powerful in respect to advertising via traditional media such as printed event flyers or buying air time on television or radio. For example, last weekend four different promoters were bidding for her birthday event. Guia Rivera decided to hold her official birthday celebration which included a featured performance for deejay promotions company Club Mix at a nightclub venue in Schaumburg. Her Facebook event invitation reached Andre Numa, a guest who drove all the way from Michigan to Illinois to partake in the festivities with Guia Rivera and her close circle in the VIP. As soon as DJ Mike B of Club Mix announced her performance, club goers were already dancing to her song "Snake Charmer (Hot Mix Hans Remix)." It was deejay Hot Mix Hans who surprised her in July by spinning the club remix that he created for her popular song "Snake Charmer" at the Z Party at the Intercontinental O'Hare. Event organizer Jason de la Cruz from the 3Doves Foundation invited her as a special guest for their charity benefit to raise money for orphanages in the Philippines. De la Cruz says he is really motivated to help deliver funds to cancer patients in the Philippines to honor his mother who passed away from cancer. De la Cruz and his partner Aris Topacio definitely publicize their events with the assistance of Facebook event invitations. You can catch Guia Rivera performing live with deejay Hot Mix Hans at the T.I.B.O.S. Halloween Bash on Friday, October 30, 2009 at White Eagle Banquet Hall in Niles, IL. All of the proceeds will go to help children with cancer in the Philippines. Lately, the performer is known for her flirtation with style. The evening of Saturday, October 24th marks the date of Rivera's second fashion show performance for couturier Victor Miller at the Westin O'Hare. (Philippine actress Maria Isabel Lopez just wore a red sequined gown by Victor Miller to the 62nd Annual Cannes Film Festival.) Miller entertained his clientele with the debut of his fall collection Fashion in Fashion presents Elegant Woman. The designer requested Guia Rivera perform "Snake Charmer" on his catwalk. She donned a black cocktail dress with applique detail by Victor Miller in early September at the Wyndham O'Hare. "I feel like I'm living from event to event each week," Guia Rivera says. "It never ends." Rivera says her following is more attracted to the glitz factor of her more upscale event appearances because average nightclubs just don't stir up the same magic. Yet, surprisingly, Guia Rivera never ceases to showcase gritty, artistic sensibility through her music. She will be releasing a new Latin rock single "Escondido" with her distributor BFM Digital. Viewers are looking forward to her performance of the new acoustic composition on E<N<E Rocks television show. Multimedia company Enchufate TV is taking seat reserveations for the television show taping of Guia Rivera's rock debut in Chicago. The episdoe will air on the upcoming season of E<N<E rocks by Enchufate TV on Cable Channel 25 Chicago. "Escondido" also hits iTunes stores on October 18th.
