Rosario Dawson at Vanessa Bruno Grand Opening

Joliz — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 02:52:22 +0000

It was Paris in the spring at Vanessa Bruno’s Melrose Avenue boutique opening last Thursday night as chiffon-clad models swayed back and forth on swings suspended from the loft ceiling and artist Cyprien Chabert painted flowers on the wall. “It really feels like we’re not in L.A.,” said Rosario Dawson. As the designer chatted with her guests, including Minnie Driver, Kelly Lynch, Shiva Rose, Erin Wasson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Elodie Bouchez, Jessica Stroup and Shenae Grimes, budding DJs Charlie Eisner (son of Lisa and Eric) and Binki Shapiro spun electro pop and other chic yet obscure tunes (no Kanye or Katy in the house). Last-minute cancellations are derigeur at such affairs, but most had good reason–Beck was was stuck in the studio with Thurston Moore, and Abbie Cornish was sidelined after fracturing her ankle that day.

While there were many messages in the show, “American Voices – Spirit of Revolution” was focused on our founding fathers, origins of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence and freedom of speech.

One woman exiting the theatre after the show said, “That was wonderful. It’s exactly what this theatre was meant to be.”

Moving and emotional, this is one show that should be seen in every school across this nation. “American Voices – Spirit of Revolution” is an education for every age.

Celebrities bring glamour and passion to fire up Women’s Caucus

Joliz — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:42:24 +0000

COLORADO CONVENTION CENTER – Hollywood stars fired up the women’s caucus today as actor/activist Rosario Dawson declared: “We make politics look good, women!” She was joined by fellow actor Eva Longoria, who said to cheers: “I’m just representing all the ‘Desperate Housewives’ who are in this room.”

“To see this amazing turn out,” Longoria said, gazing across a sea of women. “This is insane. Let’s make a difference!”

Dawson, who co-founded Voto Latino to mobilize the Latino electorate, said women must continue the fight to improve their sisters’ lives. She said women must change a dire static showing that that 1-in-3 American women are victims of rape, abuse or murder.

“What do we do? We vote!” she said. Because of trailblazers like Hillary Clinton, Dawson said, Her young goddaughter has new dreams. “She’s not aspiring to be the president’s wife. She’s aspiring to be the president.”

“This is my first caucus, my first convention. We make politics look good women!” Dawson said.
