World Record Breaking Speed Dating at the W
Purple Lab and W Hoboken to Host Event
“Tri-state area singles are invited to meet the new love of their lips at the Find Your Luvah™ speed dating event hosted by Master Matchmaker® Steve Ward on January 29, 2010
Double duty beauty brand Purple Lab™ will launch its new beauty product, Luvah™ (get the 411!), a double plumping lip color equipped with aphrodisiacs, tagged as the “Ultimate Dating Tool,” on January 29, 2010 at the W Hoboken Hotel and Residences during what could be the largest speed dating event in Guinness World Records® history.
Tri-state area singles are invited to participate in the record-breaking attempt which will be hosted by Master Matchmaker® Steve Ward, CEO of Master Matchmakers®, who is currently in his second season of VH1’s “Tough Love,” where he continues to transform the lives of unlucky-in-love women who are willing to do whatever it takes to find Mr. Right. Steve recently announced news of a third season, “Tough Love Couples.” Of the partnership with Purple Lab™, Steve says, “I get excited to do anything that helps people find love or people otherwise in need. At this Purple Lab™ event I get to do both.”
The ultra chic W Hoboken Hotel, located on the Hudson Riverfront facing midtown Manhattan, is gearing up for the event by preparing its Great Room to accommodate hundreds of speed daters looking for love in all the right places. For added convenience to those traveling from New York City and from throughout New Jersey, W Hoboken has commissioned Acura to chauffeur participants back and forth to the Hoboken PATH Station throughout the evening. And, as a congratulatory tribute to any matches made that evening, W Hoboken will invite the lucky-in-love pairs back for a round of complimentary cocktails.
“We’re delighted to join Purple Lab™ in celebrating their new beauty product, Luvah™, and more than excited about being a part of setting the world record in speed dating,” notes Anna MacDiarmid, General Manager of W Hoboken. “I can’t think of better place than W Hoboken to make a love connection in world record fashion.”
Luvah™, available in shades called Rich Jerk and Mama’s Boy, was created by Purple Lab™ Creatrix Karen Robinovitz and will be available beginning February 18, 2009 on HSN, the interactive lifestyle and retail destination. Luvah™ is a nod to Karen’s journey of 150 dates to find her husband. “I created Luvah™ as a chic reminder that all girls deserve the best. The colors are classic, beautiful, and perfect on everyone. Each shade is named after the type of guy I dated to fine my true love – and I’m sure you’ve known them all, too!”
Each female participant will have the opportunity to put Luvah™ to the test, receiving a complimentary product at entry. Participants over 21 will also enjoy an open bar from X–Rated Fusion Liqueur, personalized underwear from Blume Girl, limited-edition bottles of Dentyne gum designed by Anthony Yankovic – for confident, fresh breath during each “date” and Skinny Water, a zero-calorie, zero-sugar enhanced water to keep the daters refreshed, energized and at their best. Music will be curated by True Sound Music. A $15 entry fee will apply, with a portion of the proceeds donated to Women In Need, a local charity that gives back to homeless women and their families in New York City.
Beginning January 5, participants ages 21-35 are invited to pre-register for the event at purplelabnyc.com/speeddating.
Purple Lab’s™ Find Your Luvah™ speed dating event will occur on January 29 at W Hoboken in Hoboken, New Jersey. Doors will open for registration at 7pm. Pre-registered guests are asked to arrive at 8pm.
For those who may want to make a weekend of it, January 29th also marks the launch of W Hoboken’s Girls Weekend Getaway package, which invites ladies to grab their gal pals and experience a wow worthy weekend including1 wonderful room, 2 intro classes at S Factor Studio, 2 cool cocktails, Purple Lab’s™ Huge Lips Skinny Hips™ lip gloss, a Metro card, and 10% discount off any product at S Factor studio.

Plan-B Energy Drink
In response to HansBrix who said:
Dong quai, huh? Looks a lot like “donk-ee.”
They should roll out a line of energy drinks called Dong-quai Punch (“an aphrodisiac with a kick”).

I’ve never met a single person in my life who said “I met my wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend at Speed Dating.”

I didn’t even realize you replied. Excellent work, detective!
Sheesh. I’m all for launching your products, “Daddy Issues” and “Stuck Up Bitch”. They’ll level the playing field.
In response to Easy-E who said:
Yeah, “luvah” almost as irritating as someone calling themselves a “creatrix”.
I looked that the website, and found some info on these “aphrodisiacs”.
From Purple Lab:
“Dong Quai (pronounced “Dong-kw-eye), an ancient Chinese herb often called “female ginseng,” widely used as an aphrodisiac, is meant to be an automatic prowess-booster (it’s all in the mind and when you know you have it on, it reminds you to feel fabulously sexy).”
from:http://health.howstuffworks.com/dong-quai-herbal-remedies.htm
“Dong quai is used primarily to treat menstrual complaints, such as menstrual pain and scanty menstruation. Studies have shown that dong quai is useful in treating other gynecologic complaints as well, including premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and menstrual problems such as cramping and irregular cycles.”
From wikipedia:
“Dong quai is traditionally viewed as increasing the risk of miscarriage.”
So it’s great if you’re prone to being PMS-y. Even better because if you catch one of those pesky pregnancy things at this event, it won’t be a problem!

I still think this energy drink idea is worth looking into. I’d buy it.

Why can’t people just kick up convo’s like our parents did? I’m a early 70′s baby and my parents said they met in line at the bank or something. These days it is all about Match, Luvah, Irate Jdates, 2 minute meets at the dubya and so on. Old fashioned schmoozing worked so well for our previous generation, now everyone is paying to meet people. Absurd
