<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We asked Erik to&nbsp;share some the&nbsp;day&#39;s highlights with us:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&quot;I&nbsp;was dressed by&nbsp;my&nbsp;personal stylist Blair, who put together the&nbsp;perfect outfit, then I&nbsp;was off to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Ricardo Rojas salon where I&nbsp;was pampered with a&nbsp;relaxing oxygen facial. Then I&nbsp;arrived in&nbsp;style at&nbsp;the&nbsp;Prabal Gurung Fashion show, which was absolutely amazing! The&nbsp;MyFDB launch party was completely off the&nbsp;hook!! I&nbsp;was introduced to&nbsp;many vibrant personalities from the&nbsp;world [of] fashion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meeting Zoe Saldana was definitely the&nbsp;highlight of&nbsp;my&nbsp;night!! Zoe was just as&nbsp;charming and&nbsp;lovely as&nbsp;I&nbsp;had expected! I&nbsp;felt totally relaxed as&nbsp;we talked and&nbsp;took pictures together!&quot;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks for&nbsp;sharing Erik and&nbsp;we&#39;re so glad you had an&nbsp;awesome time! For&nbsp;those that didn&#39;t win we&#39;ll have more contests coming up; so stay tuned for&nbsp;your chance to&nbsp;win some amazing swag.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our New York Fashion Week contest was such a&nbsp;hit and&nbsp;we thank everyone that entered, but there could only be one online winner and&nbsp;that was the&nbsp;lovely Adara! We&#39;re so glad she won and&nbsp;her energy radiated throughout her fashion adventures from the&nbsp;<strong><a href="http://www.prabalgurung.com/">Prabal Gurung </a></strong>runway show to&nbsp;meeting her inspiration <strong>Zoe Saldana</strong>. MyFDB got Adara ready for&nbsp;the&nbsp;day&#39;s events by&nbsp;hooking her up with renowned stylist Blair, who helped her put together an&nbsp;<nobr>A-list</nobr> look and&nbsp;then whisked her over to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ricardorojashair.com/">Ricardo Rojas studio</a> for&nbsp;hair (and&nbsp;we mean HAIR) and&nbsp;makeup.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The&nbsp;beautiful Adara was sweet enough to&nbsp;share her personal experience with us and&nbsp;of&nbsp;course we had to&nbsp;pass it along to&nbsp;all of&nbsp;our readers:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&quot;Prabal&#39;s show was so fun, it was my&nbsp;first fashion show ever! His clothes are absolutely beautiful and&nbsp;wearable. My&nbsp;favorites were this cream strapless dress with ostrich feather detail and&nbsp;a&nbsp;black and&nbsp;red, one shouldered dress with this incredible pleating along the&nbsp;bust. It&#39;s amazing how much he&#39;s done in&nbsp;just a&nbsp;year or&nbsp;so, and&nbsp;you could tell how anticipated his collection was. There were so many buyers there and&nbsp;Anna Wintour herself came to&nbsp;watch, which is pretty exciting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img alt="AdaraZoe NYFW winner Adara met Zoe Saldana and hit the runway!" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-973" height="453" src="http://blog.myfdb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/AdaraZoe.jpg" title="AdaraZoe" width="604" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meeting Zoe was incredible! I&#39;m not really the&nbsp;type of&nbsp;person to&nbsp;freak out over celebrities, but I&nbsp;have admired her and&nbsp;her career since I&nbsp;was 12, so to&nbsp;meet her in&nbsp;person was totally surreal. We drove over to&nbsp;her hotel around 8 and&nbsp;I&nbsp;was shaking the&nbsp;whole time. My&nbsp;friend Ezra was with me and&nbsp;he kept talking but I&nbsp;didn&#39;t hear half of&nbsp;what he was saying. Kevin, Ezra and&nbsp;I&nbsp;waited in&nbsp;the&nbsp;lobby for&nbsp;her to&nbsp;come down and&nbsp;I&nbsp;was so nervous and&nbsp;excited. Zoe was the&nbsp;nicest person, everything I&nbsp;expected her to&nbsp;be and&nbsp;more. She has so much personality and&nbsp;is so bouncy and&nbsp;excited. When she talked about Prabal you could tell how proud of&nbsp;him she was, as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;Keith (who was also so nice) [MyFDB&#39;s CEO] and&nbsp;how well MyFDB is doing. She said that when he started it was just him and&nbsp;two computers in&nbsp;the&nbsp;basement and&nbsp;now here he was at&nbsp;fashion week having this huge launch. The&nbsp;thing that I&nbsp;will hold closest to&nbsp;me is a&nbsp;piece of&nbsp;advice Zoe gave me as&nbsp;a&nbsp;young <nobr>actor-model</nobr>, and&nbsp;that was to&nbsp;trust myself and&nbsp;make conscious choices about the&nbsp;kind of&nbsp;work I&nbsp;want to&nbsp;do, even if it means turning things down. She was so fun and&nbsp;sweet, I&nbsp;wish she could just take me with her wherever she went: )</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To&nbsp;get a&nbsp;sense of&nbsp;the&nbsp;excitement here&#39;s a&nbsp;short <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTCxc3gzZk0">video of&nbsp;Adara meeting Zoe</a> shot by&nbsp;her friend Ezra.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Probably the&nbsp;most pleasant surprise was how awesome Kevin Mills, the&nbsp;COO of&nbsp;MyFDB, is. I&nbsp;know how busy he was getting everything ready for&nbsp;the&nbsp;launch that day but he spent so much time with us. We ended up having some pretty amazing conversations about the&nbsp;business and&nbsp;following your passions and&nbsp;Zoe of&nbsp;course: ) I&nbsp;never once felt like I&nbsp;was being pitched to, we were just talking and&nbsp;laughing like normal people. That is so rare in&nbsp;this industry, and&nbsp;I&nbsp;think it really says a&nbsp;lot about the&nbsp;company.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thank you so much MyFDB, I&nbsp;can&#39;t even properly explain how much this day meant to&nbsp;me. Everyone should keep both eyes on&nbsp;this company. Its made up of&nbsp;some truly genuine people and&nbsp;I&nbsp;can only see it doing bigger and&nbsp;better things in&nbsp;the&nbsp;future!&quot;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Awe!! Thank YOU Adara and&nbsp;we wish you the&nbsp;best in&nbsp;your future endeavors!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Don&#39;t feel bad if you didn&#39;t win because new contests will be announced soon. Zoe can&#39;t be the&nbsp;prize every time, but we will have some treats coming up!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Ricardo Rojas established a&nbsp;reputation as&nbsp;one of&nbsp;the&nbsp;world&rsquo;s leading hairstylists by&nbsp;aligning his virtuoso technique with a&nbsp;finely tuned understanding of&nbsp;his clients&rsquo; individuality.&nbsp; He has perfected his craft while working with the&nbsp;biggest names in&nbsp;fashion and&nbsp;entertainment, from Mariah Carey, Gisele B&uuml;ndchen and&nbsp;Kate Moss to&nbsp;Amber Valetta and&nbsp;Salma Hayek.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ricardo responded to&nbsp;the&nbsp;needs of&nbsp;his loyal clientele, opening this new location that is a&nbsp;true retreat in&nbsp;Midtown, and&nbsp;a&nbsp;great place to&nbsp;stop during a&nbsp;busy day of&nbsp;shopping on&nbsp;the&nbsp;famed Madison Avenue.&nbsp; Working alongside Rojas in&nbsp;his full service salon, you will find Karen Chase and&nbsp;her unique <nobr>anti-aging</nobr>, weight loss and&nbsp;traditional acupuncture practice, and&nbsp;Dr. Bill &quot;BillTox&quot; Kestin <nobr>non-surgical</nobr> facial rejuvenation and&nbsp;enhancement techniques.</p>
<p>	&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-848"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Upon entering the&nbsp;1600 square foot salon, clients are met with soothing colors of&nbsp;white, light blue and&nbsp;hints of&nbsp;black, which create a&nbsp;calm and&nbsp;tranquil locale for&nbsp;clients escape from every day stresses as&nbsp;they receive the&nbsp;ultimate in&nbsp;salon services.&nbsp; Rojas designed the&nbsp;space with his own private VIP room, where it ensures the&nbsp;utmost in&nbsp;privacy and&nbsp;service, while maintaining the&nbsp;<nobr>boutique-like</nobr> intimate appeal. The&nbsp;salon is a&nbsp;calming setting with eight styling chairs, in&nbsp;addition to&nbsp;a&nbsp;four seat coloring room. In&nbsp;keeping with Ricardo&rsquo;s philosophy of&nbsp;maximizing his customer&rsquo;s time in&nbsp;the&nbsp;salon, manicures/pedicures, oxygen treatments and&nbsp;makeup application are always available <nobr>chair-side</nobr> for&nbsp;the&nbsp;ultimate experience in&nbsp;minimal time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rojas pioneered the&nbsp;<nobr>personality-based</nobr> approach to&nbsp;color and&nbsp;cut, as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;a&nbsp;wide array of&nbsp;special hair offerings from deep conditioning treatments, <nobr>clip-on</nobr> hair extensions, permanent hair extensions, and&nbsp;many other unique styling services.&nbsp; The&nbsp;salon also offers services such as&nbsp;Brazilian straightening, body and&nbsp;facial waxing, Minx Nails, and&nbsp;much more.</p>
