Jet2.com Launch Flight to Latest Celeb Holiday Hotspot

(PRWEB) July 06, 2011

Jet2.com launch new route to Bodrum from Leeds Bradford as film stars and international footballers are pictured on its azure shore

In bygone times Bodrum was the playground for the elite and powerful; the likes of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony found its beauty alluring. Today, this appeal remains amongst the rich and famous.

In June the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas were spotted spending time in the city.

With the launch of Jet2.com?s latest route from their Leeds Bradford base it is anticipated that more holidaymakers will be joining the guest list of visitors to Bodrum.

Many Wonders to Behold

The Turquoise Coast that dominates much of Turkey?s southern coastline has always been held in high regard amongst holidaymakers. Bodrum only forms part of this illustrious stretch of luxurious and interesting resorts and towns. However, because it was formerly known as Halicarnassus and it houses one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Bodrum often corrals an interested clientele.

Many of the famous faces amongst these visitors are often found spending time around the harbour, where luxury yachts can be spotted, or popping into the many classy boutiques that adorn the main streets in the centre.

There is also a wealth of restaurants and bars to keep those with deep pockets and those with more modest budgets happy. This is one of the reasons that Bodrum retains its popularity and the moniker as the St Tropez of Turkey ? value for money.

It might attract a glamorous set of holidaymakers but it doesn?t abuse this. In fact a lot of the bars and shops can be quite modest. Norah Jones even worked in Bodrum once upon a time.

?An extremely popular location?

Jet2.com has now made this holiday destination more accessible with the launch of their Leeds Bradford route. Flights take off once a week and cost

Six Gorgeous Women Star in Beautiful Warriors 2, a Holiday Video Series by Battalion Armour


Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) December 16, 2009

Battalion Armour presents Beautiful Warriors 2, a series of six holiday videos featuring six women from six ethnic backgrounds posing to Louis Armstrong Remixed by Apple Juice Kid. These semi-nude videos were shot in HD by Tishaun Dawson as a gift of love for the holidays. The music behind Beautiful Warriors 2, a jazz meets hiphop mix, is also available as a free download. The seven song album produced by Apple Juice Kid includes Keyboards, Bass and Guitar by Kevin Timmons, and Drums/Percussion by Stephen Levitin. “I chose Louis Armstrong to provide the soundtrack to the Beautiful Warriors for the whimsical nature of his music and its ability to bridge cultural boundaries with expressions of love. It takes a special type of sound to create the right mood for this ethnically diverse cast of women. The only producer who could give Louis? music a new twist while respecting the perfection was Apple Juice Kid, who I first met while creating a video for his critically acclaimed Miles Davis Remix album.”

The Beautiful Warriors 2 iPhone web app is full of behind the scenes photos, project notes and exclusives. Access to the iPhone web app is through a secret link that is sent to your phone when you text BATTALION to 50500. This mobile site will be continually updated over the next few months with new Beautiful Warriors 2 content.

Tishaun Dawson’s versatility as an artist spans design, film, and photography. He has created for FOX, NFL, Guess Inc., Black Eyed Peas, XBox, A Tribe Called Quest, and BCBG among others. Tishaun’s work has been featured in numerous fashion, music, and entertainment publications. He also sits on the board of CASH Music, a non-profit organization, building open source tools and services for the music industry. Tishaun founded Battalion Armour in 2007, a transmedia brand.

Apple Juice Kid’s production has been heard on songs by Camp Lo, Wale, MC Lyte and Mos Def. As a percussionist, composer and bandleader, Apple Juice also fronts Freebass 808 and The Remix Project, and has toured as a drummer with The Foreign Exchange and The Jungle Brothers.

Rapper 50 Cent and NY Jets DT #91 Josh Evans Build A One Day Holiday Superstore

(PRWEB) December 16, 2004

79 percent of the NYC homeless shelter population is comprised of children and families. During the holiday season, the population nearly doubles. To bring the hustle and bustle of the holiday shopping spirit to the homeless community, NY Jets defensive tackle #91 Josh Evans and Rap star 50 Cent have teamed up with sports agent Glenn Toby and the Book Bank Foundation to transform NYC’s Bowery Mission into a free, one-day holiday superstore for the homeless at the 2nd Annual Josh Evans/Book Bank Foundation Holiday Clothing Drive to be held on Thursday, December 23, 2004.

Vendors from the fashion, toy and pharmaceutical industries are donating products so that over 300 homeless women, men and families may “shop” at no cost as they select from a huge variety of brand new clothing, toys and over the counter medicine.

“There are currently over 35,812 children, families and adults surviving in the New York City shelter system,” says Glenn Toby, Total Entertainment Athlete Management CEO and The Book Bank Foundation founder. “As one who personally experienced freezing holiday nights at one time as a homeless child, I understand how one toy, coat or simple remedy for a dry, stubborn cough that’s given with respect can impact the spirit of a child and family…especially during the holiday season.”

Thanks to the assistance of The Book Bank Foundation, Josh Evans, 50 Cent, super producer Swizz Beats, The Omavi Clothing Company, G-Unit Clothing and others from the Hip Hop, NFL and fashion communities who have made contributions and will be in attendance, Bowery Mission recipients will be able to take advantage of on-site chiropractic services as well as partake of a hearty and bountiful holiday feast.
