http://www.bizjournals.com/pittsburgh/news/2014/05/19/halston-and-warhol-ads-showcase-icons.html
Senior Reporter-Pittsburgh Business Times
Marc USA, one of Pittsburgh’s largest advertising agencies, unveiled a new multimedia campaign for the exhibition “Halston and Warhol: Silver and Suede,” which runs through Aug. 24 at the Andy Warhol Museum on the city’s North Side. It will then visit Des Moines, Iowa, Halston’s birthplace, and the Mint Museum in Charlotte, N.C.
The ads chronicle Halston designs and feature icons Liza Minnelli, Jackie Kennedyand Elizabeth Taylor. The print campaign will be seen throughout Pittsburgh and surrounding markets in magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Elle and InStyle. Ads will also wrap two-story buses, dominate Pittsburgh subway stations and digitally greet visitors to Pittsburgh International Airport where Minnelli’s eyelashes wink and Taylor’s head tilts.
“Halston and Andy Warhol traveled in the same circles and influenced each other’s work,” Michele Fabrizi, president/CEO and chairman of The Andy Warhol Museum board, said in a prepared statement. The campaign is pro bono. “This campaign pays tribute to their relationship while showcasing the significant contributions Halston made to fashion. While Halston dressed these icons, Warhol painted them and was friends with all three. It’s the perfect platform to introduce this exhibition.”

Liza Minnelli Cancels All Upcoming Concerts
http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Liza-Minnelli-Cancels-All-Upcoming-Concerts-Due-to-Back-Ailment-20140509#
Just a few weeks after canceling an early June concert in San Paulo due to a recurring back ailment, an additional set of cancellations has just been released by Liza Minnelli's team, including a weekend appearance at EVERYTHING'S COMING UP BROADWAYWORLD.COM: A JULE STYNE TRIBUTE, and a number of European concert dates.
Liza Minnelli's physicians have advised her not to perform or travel for long periods of time because of a medical condition. As a result her concerts in Europe, which were scheduled for July, have been canceled. We are discussing rescheduling dates at an appropriate time. Liza wants her fans to know she is devastated not to be able to perform right now but will see them soon.
The star was to perform in July at London's Royal Albert Hall, followed by Paris, Amsterdam and Monte Carlo. From all of us here at BroadwayWorld.com - Get Well Soon Liza!
One of the world's best-loved entertainers, Minnelli won Tony awards for Flora, the Red Menace in 1965 and The Act in 1978, along with a third for Best Personal Achievement, resulting from her 1974 engagement at the Winter Garden Theatre. Nominated for an Academy Award for The Sterile Cuckoo (1969), she won the best actress prize for her best-known film, Cabaret (1972), which also won her a Golden Globe Award and a BAFTA. She won an Emmy for Liza with a 'Z' (1972) and was also the recipient of a Grammy Legend Award in 1989, making her one of the few artists who have won entertainment's top six awards.
