YouTube Stars Michelle Phan, Bethany Mota & Rosanna Pansino

Everything She Wants attended a festive Unleash YouTube event to celebrate YouTube sensations Michelle Phan (more than 6 million subscribers), Bethany Mota (more than 5.7 million subscribers) and Rosanna Pansino (more than 1.5 million subscribers).  If you live in New York City, you've seen their lovely faces plastered all over subway and bus ads. These young women prove that if you dream it, you can achieve it, and they're inspiring other entrepreneurial girls to follow in their well-heeled footsteps.

 Fans anxiously waiting to see their social media idols outside the party's venue in midtown Manhattan were treated to colorful cupcakes created by Pansino. Sam, a 20-year-old special effects makeup artist inspired by Phan, told us, "Michelle saved my life. I've been watching her for eight years when one million [YouTube] subscribers was unthinkable." Because of Phan, who made her first million before completing college, Sam launched her own YouTube channel, Crimson Rose CosPlay.
Michelle Phan super fan, Sam.
Bethany Mota fan, Carol.
Standing next to Sam was an adorable 12-year-old named Carol who hoped to meet her idol, Bethany Mota. "Bethany is so inspirational. She made a video about confidence and she says, 'You are beautiful without makeup'."

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

(Tracy E. Hopkins) It's the end of a budget shopping era. Conway discount stores are closing in New York City . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E.

One regretful ensemble: Lime green and
