INTRODUCING: THE DIVA GLAM! SQUAD

If you're reading this, you probably already know that The Backstage Pass Radio Program is THE place to be on Monday nights for some seriously kick-ass Diva product giveaways.  What you may not know is that there's now a Diva Glam! Squad.  That's right:  a team of women and men - all different shapes, sizes, backgrounds - to help review the fabulous "glam" beauty, fashion, skin and hair care, and accessory products out there!

The promotions have become so successful that we've now branched out to a "team," to help find products for everyone.  Meet the new Diva Glam! Squad:

DIVA TAUNIA is the host of The Backstage Pass Radio Program.  As a gastric bypass post-op who's lost over 160 lbs, she celebrates her new post-op life and image, and is on a quest to find the most rockin' beauty products out there.  In addition to her gig as a radio host, she's also a professional jazz vocalist and the Vice President of Public Relations for the Weight Loss Surgery Foundation of America.  She's also engaged to be married this winter,and is always on the lookout for great Diva Bridal items.  Lots of reasons to find some amazing "Diva" products out there to introduce to her listeners!

As a weight loss surgery advocate, Taunia also features products that help make men and women feel attractive after surgery.  With a special focus on skin and hair care, makeup, and fashion trends, she knows her demographic of listeners are on the lookout for the best products and websites out there to help them celebrate their new image, and she brings those products direct to the listeners.

As a professional vocalist and musician, Diva Taunia looks for the best products out there to help enhance her stage and recording career.  Have a music-related product that you think she'd love?  Send it her way for review!

Additionally, as a self-employed-working-from-home stepmom, she's also ALWAYS on the lookout for products that make her home-life easier as well, because the easier home life is, the more Diva-fied she can get!  For more information about Diva Taunia, please visit her website at www.divataunia.com.

SASSY SUZ is our bombshell babe!  With an hourglass figure that is a throwback to the retro-pinup era, most women would kill for her curves!  Sassy Suz is a casual girl at heart, and she HATES to iron or dry-clean anything.  Easy wash and dry care is what she looks for in her fashion choices, unless she's dolling up for an event, and then you'll see her work an evening dress like nobody's business!  She's tall, sassy, and sexy!

She's drawn to the retro-leopard print look, and she'd steal the spots right off a leopard if she could!  Also, because of her love of landscape, she's also drawn towards beauty from the earth: earth tones in her wardrobe styling and in her natural-look makeup.

RADIO ROB can be heard regularly as the co-host of The Backstage Pass Radio Program.  He's a motorcyle ridin', tattoo-lovin' biker dude, but he's also very interested in looking sharp, a well-dressed man. While he often looks for gear and clothing that he wear when riding, he also likes to get dressed up and look slick, so he's always on the lookout for the best new products out there for men.  He's also Diva Taunia's fiance, and although he's never had weight loss surgery himself, he's very supportive of the community and would be happy to help represent the male perspective.

Age: 37
