Los Angeles, CA – Sep 21, 2008 –Green was the theme at the Mix Media Award Suites at the Sofitel Hotel in WEHO which was packed with celebrities – proving that the push to “Go Green” is a high priority for all. And what better way to do your part in saving the environment (and your relationships) than by staying in and playing a round or two of the new dating activity, Playing the Field, the best way to cover your bases and discover more about your friends and lovers! Invented by Amanda Brown, it is on regular playing cards but has a wonderful conversation starting question on each card.

The talk of the Suites was the buzz around the blackjack table where Scott Copon of Scorpion King II, Reid Scott of My Boys, Jeremy Glazer of Save Me, McKay Stewart of Eagle Eye and Kato Kaelin were dealing hands of Playing the Field Blackjack and answering the questions on their cards with hosts Amanda Brown and Brandon Birtwistle.

Amanda Brown reported an overwhelming response from the celebrities that she met. “I knew that my game would cause quite a stir with everyone visiting the party, but I have been astounded by the feedback! I’ve been receiving phone calls for the past week from celebrities who pulled out their game and started playing it with friends as soon as they got home. It’s great to hear their stories and answers to the questions…opens up a whole new perspective into someone…whether you thought you knew everything about them or knew nothing at all.”

Touted as “your new BFF to take on a date with you” Playing the Field has been featured on CNN, Cosmopolitan Magazine, DailyCandy.com and numerous other media outlets. She is presently being courted for various opportunities, but her ideal cameo? “My Boys,” said Amanda, “I think they could use a Dating Coach on their show who comes complete with a dating game that they could use for poker nights. I see a great story line in the making here! And after meeting Reid I would be delighted to spend a few hours hanging out on the set with him – what a great smile!”

As an added benefit to being included in one of the top Swag Suites surrounding the Emmys, she used her time with celebrity friends as a chance to highlight her charity of choice, Global Lead. Touted as the modern version of the Peace Corps, Global Lead was created by one of her close friends, Garrett Graveson. Based on the premise of overseas volunteer service, Global Lead connects students to projects abroad as a way of expanding cultural horizons and creating a greater awareness of the world. Many of the celebrities visiting the suites enthusiastically answered and autographed playing cards which will be auctioned off next spring at a benefit gala supporting Global Lead. If you are interested in finding out the answers of the many celebrities…stay tuned next spring when their answers go on the auction block!

Atlanta, GA - May 23, 2008 - In one week the important figures in today’s literary scene will converge on the second largest book expo in the world!

Amanda Brown is debuting the release of her new book, The Field Guide to Playing the Field, to a projected audience of 30,000+. The companion book that ties in with the game she created, Playing the Field, is the first book in a series that will be introduced this year.

The game got ‘em talking, the book will get ‘em listening. With 100 million single Americans looking for love the need for a Dating Designer^TM to take the helm and help guide the singles through the murky dating waters is apparent!

“It’s obvious that the singles of the world are looking for that one figure to hang their hopes on. Someone who is there in the midst of it all with them and can help with a theory based upon a common sense foundation, a huge heart and a mix of laughter and mischief. No one wants to be told that they are doing everything wrong, but they do want to be shown how to do it right,” said Amanda Brown during interviews last week.

Amanda’s quest for her company, creations and writing is to bring back the lost art of conversation. Building upon that idea she introduced her game last year. A series of four ice-breaking, question-asking, conversation-starting decks of cards used to get to know your partner better. Her book, The Field Guide to Playing the Field, follows along the same format as the game, yet answers the questions and gives needed guidance in a fun and lively format.

Available for signings and discussions at Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, CA. Friday May 28 - Sunday May 31, 2009 Booth 5650 at the Book Expo America, Amanda will be entertaining guest of the show by dealing Blackjack and getting the answers to the questions at hand. A Blackjack table topper autographed by various celebrities and musicians will be given away the last day of the show.

A cocktail party will be held the evening of May 29^th from 7pm-10pm (Red carpet arrivals at 6:30) at Eleven Restaurant & Nightclub in West Hollywood (8811 Santa Monica Blvd - www.eleven.la). The signature martini, book, game and special guests will be present to celebrate Amanda’s expanding Date Designer ^TM game, book and life.
