First Event at Saks Fifth Avenue on September 15
Will Focus on Real Estate, Personal Finance, Insurance and Legal Issues

NEW YORK, NY - August 26, 2009 - When will he call? Do you think he’s into me? Single Edition Media thinks single women have more important things to think about than trivial dating questions such as these.

A lifestyle company that delivers programming, content and tools exclusively for singles, Single Edition Media (www.singleedition.com) has partnered with Spark Networks (www.spark.net), the number one provider of niche singles communities such as JDate®.com (www.jdate.com), AmericanSingles®.com (www.americansingles.com), ChristianMingle®.com (www.christianmingle.com) and BlackSingles.com® (www.blacksingles.com) to launch the “Live the Life You Love” three-part event series this fall at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York.

The women’s only event series will address a range of lifestyle issues from a single woman’s perspective - from real estate and personal finance to health and career topics. Each event will feature an expert-led panel discussion, Q&A, after-hours shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue; as well as complimentary manicures, make-up applications, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Sponsors include New York Sports Club, Vitamin Shoppe, Vitamin Water, and Spark Networks.

As more individuals wait longer to marry, nearly one third all of Americans identify as “single” today, and yet single women are still waiting to make important life decisions. According to Sherri Langburt, founder of Single Edition Media, “Single Edition recognizes that life presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities for singles. Just in time for National Singles Week, the ‘Live the Life You Love’ series offers a fresh perspective, genuine advice, and some hands-on assistance to show single women that they shouldn’t have to wait to make important life decisions.”

The first event takes place on September 15 and will address single-specific issues including: how to buy a house as a single; how to choose a smart insurance plan; if singles should have a will; and how to invest single-salary savings. Speakers at the September 15 event include:
• Real Estate: Laura Scott of Prudential Douglas Elliman
• Legal: Attorney Ken Schoen of Bonner Kiernan Trebach & Crociata, LLP
• Insurance: Andrew Merkin of New Agency Partners LCC
• Personal Finance: Gaila Gichon of Down-to-Earth Finance

The second event will occur on October 6 and will cover sex, health, nutrition, and fitness topics; while the third event takes place on November 3 and will cover entrepreneurship, career, entertaining, and relationships topics. Tickets cost $25 online and $35 at the door; tickets to all three events cost $45. To reserve a spot, please visit
