Prayers for Newton, CT
Saturday, December 15th, 2012
After returning home from work on what was a long Friday and a long week, I’m scrolling through my Facebook feed and 100% of it is about today’s tragedy in Newtown, CT. What’s crazy is how totally diverse the opinions are from friends, colleagues, those nearby and those from afar. I see people for and [...]

My first Press Article being quoted as “Alyson Roy”
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012
So I was skimming through my morning round-up of new press coverage surrounding my client, Nolcha Fashion Week, and all the sudden I come to a quotation, by none-other-than “Alyson Roy.” Is it weird that my first reaction was “who’s that!?!” followed by, “whoa… sh*t just got real!!!” I mean, my email signature still says [...]

Introducing: Alyson Roy
Saturday, September 29th, 2012
To my dearest blog readers (if you’re still out there!), I have to apologize for my lack of posts in 2012. It’s been a bit of busy year so far to say the least, filled with some of the most amazing experiences of my life. I’ve been working on a few small projects, like oh [...]

Kelly Cutrone’s: If You Have To Cry, Go Outside (And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You)
Thursday, June 17th, 2010
Over the weekend, I curled up with Kelly Cutrone’s new book–and unlike any book in a long time, I read it cover-to-cover in one sitting. Already a fan of her ballsy PR techniques, I knew I’d be fascinated by her point of view on the industry. What I didn’t expect was to completely relate, to [...]

PR as portrayed on MTV’s “The City”
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
Although I don’t currently have cable (thank you Hulu.com), I definitely still watch my fair share of TV, and more specifically reality TV. While its seems that “trashiness” is the prerequisite of a successful reality show, I’ve always been fascinated by the personalities, relationships and interactions of the “real people” on these shows and love [...]

RECAP: Exchange Bar & Grill opens in Gramercy
Friday, April 9th, 2010
It’s been a total treat to work with a client that it literally just steps from both my apartment and my office. Even better is that it’s a restaurant client which means it’s been saving me from my sad routine of Lean Cuisines for at least one dinner per week as of late! My new [...]

New York Fashion Week gets off to an interesting start
Saturday, February 13th, 2010
Thursday, February 11th, marked the first official day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in the Tents at Bryant Park. The morning of Day 1 was quickly overshadowed by news that famed British designer Alexander McQueen had committed suicide. In this day in age, word spreads quickly–I first heard the moment I pulled up Twitter that morning. [...]

Who will face the music? PR frenzy heats up over Adam Lambert and ABC
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009
As with every major music award show, there is always one defining moment that gets America talking at the water cooler the next morning and forever solidifies itself as a defining moment in “pop culture” for years to come. In 2003 we had the infamous Britney/Madonna kiss, in 2004 we had Janet Jackson & Justin [...]
