Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Elysian Magazine Launch – A Shining Star on the High Gloss Magazine Horizon With Legendary Loretta Switt on The 2025 Spring Cover!

The Elysian magazine launch at the National Arts Club was a dazzling affair, a confluence of fashion, philanthropy, and New York City’s elite. Held on February 6, 2025, the event celebrated the magazine’s Spring Philanthropy and Fashion Issue, with a focus on animal welfare. Power PR by Norah Lawlor ensured the city’s top journalists were in attendance to capture the glamorous evening. The highlight of the event was the premiere of a documentary showcasing prominent American women and their beloved canine companions, a touching tribute to the bond between humans and animals. Among the attendees was Maribel Lieberman, whose remarkable journey from selling homemade candies in Honduras to establishing the renowned MarieBelle New York chocolate boutiques was a source of inspiration. Her story, a testament to entrepreneurial spirit and artistic passion, resonated deeply with the evening’s themes. A particularly heartwarming moment occurred when Jean Shafiroff, a celebrated philanthropist and “Queen of Charity,” appeared on screen with her dog, receiving a resounding ovation from the crowd.   

The event drew a distinguished crowd of designers, artists, philanthropists, and industry leaders, all united by a shared commitment to using creativity for positive social change. Generous sponsors, including Root, drc Ventures, Blissfully Living, Bio Light, Bill & Coo, and Discover South Carolina, made the evening possible. Following the screening of the second installment of the “CatWalk FurBaby” documentary series, which highlights a fashion show benefiting animal charities, the magazine launch officially commenced. Elysian magazine, the brainchild of Karen Floyd, has quickly become a prominent voice in New York City, celebrated for its elegant design, insightful content, and celebration of remarkable women. More than just a publication, Elysian is a multimedia brand encompassing print, digital platforms, film, podcasts, social media, and even e-commerce.   

The Spring issue’s cover featured the iconic Loretta Swit, whose multifaceted career extends far beyond her memorable portrayal of “Hot Lips” Houlihan on MASH*. From her early days on the Broadway stage to her television stardom, Swit’s journey embodies talent, dedication, and a deep connection with her audience. Her work in Cagney & Lacey showcased her dramatic range, and her passionate advocacy for animal rights further underscores her compassion and commitment. Swit’s story, a testament to perseverance and artistic excellence, perfectly aligned with the magazine’s focus on inspiring women.

Another luminary present was Dr. Christina Rahm, accompanied by her husband, Clayton Thomas. Dr. Rahm, a scientist, counselor, and philanthropist, is the Chief Science Officer at The ROOT Brands, a company dedicated to eliminating toxins and promoting holistic health. Her belief in addressing the root causes of health issues, as detailed in her book “Cure the Causes,” reflects her comprehensive approach to well-being. Through the Rahm Foundation, she supports various causes, including education, mental health, and environmental initiatives. Dr. Rahm’s personal journey, marked by overcoming Lyme disease and cancer, has further fueled her passion for helping others achieve optimal health and happiness. Her presence at the event underscored the importance of health and wellness in achieving a fulfilling life.   

Also in attendance was Pamela Sue Evette, the Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina. A businesswoman and politician, Evette’s career reflects her dedication to public service and economic development. As the first lieutenant governor elected on the same ticket as the governor, she has played a key role in supporting the governor’s initiatives and promoting the state’s interests. Her focus on education, business, and natural resource protection demonstrates her commitment to the well-being of South Carolina’s citizens.

The National Arts Club, the venue for this remarkable gathering, provided an elegant and historically rich backdrop. Founded in 1898, the club has long been a haven for artists and patrons, fostering creativity and collaboration across various disciplines. Its commitment to supporting both emerging and established artists has made it a vital force in New York City’s cultural landscape. The club’s grand architecture and serene setting on Gramercy Park further enhanced the evening’s ambiance, creating a truly memorable experience for all in attendance. The Elysian magazine launch was more than just a party; it was a celebration of art, philanthropy, and the inspiring women who are making a difference in the world.

Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: Quadrille Ball Cocktail Reception – Ball Comes Feb. 8th – A Huge Success And PR Tycoon Norah Lawlor has the facts.

Wow, Thats New York City: Limousines pulled up to the imposing facade of the German Consulate in New York City. This wasn’t just another Monday night on the Upper East Side; this was the ultra-exclusive Quadrille Ball cocktail reception. Invitations were coveted, whispered about in the hushed tones reserved for the most sought-after events. PR Tycoon Norah Lawlor, CEO of the reputable Lawlor Media Group, announced the must-attend-event-date coming up on February 8th 2025. But New York was pre-celebrating today!

Inside, the consulate was transformed and came with the red carpet, philanthropy and dance vibes the famous Quadrille Ball is known for. Champagne flutes clinked, the sound mingling with the elegant and polite conversation and the soft strains of classical music. Guests, impeccably dressed in cocktail attire, were a who’s who of New York society – philanthropists, socialites, and business titans, all united by their support for the Quadrille Ball and its charitable cause.

Among the attendees were past debutantes, their youthful memories of twirling in white gowns now tinged with nostalgia. They reminisced with former dance partners, sharing laughter and catching up on years gone by. Current dancers, the “roses” of the upcoming ball, stood out in the crowd, their excitement palpable. They, along with their families, were eager to learn more about the prestigious event and the scholarship program it supported.

The highlight of the evening was the introduction of the Quadrille scholarship recipients. These bright young women, chosen for their academic achievements and commitment to community service, spoke with poise and passion about their dreams for the future. Their stories were a testament to the transformative power of education and a reminder of the ball’s true purpose.

As the evening drew to a close, guests departed with a renewed sense of purpose and a shared anticipation for the upcoming 64th Annual Quadrille Ball. The cocktail reception had been more than just a glamorous gathering; it was a celebration of philanthropy, tradition, and the promise of a brighter future.

The Quadrille Ball, a glittering fixture on New York City’s social calendar, is more than just an evening of elegance and tradition. It’s the beating heart of the German-American Scholarship Association, a non-profit organization with a mission as inspiring as the ball itself.

For over six decades, the Association has been quietly transforming lives, one scholarship at a time. Every twirl on the dance floor, every clink of a champagne glass, contributes to a fund that empowers talented American and German students to pursue their academic dreams across the Atlantic.

Imagine a young woman from a small town in the Midwest, her eyes sparkling with the thrill of studying art history in Berlin. Or a German physics student, eager to conduct groundbreaking research at a prestigious American university. These are the faces of the Quadrille Ball’s legacy, made possible by the generosity of its attendees and the tireless work of its volunteers.

The selection process is rigorous, a testament to the high standards upheld by the Association. Partnering with esteemed organizations like the Fulbright Program and the Institute of International Education ensures that the most deserving candidates are chosen. These students aren’t just receiving financial aid; they’re being given a chance to broaden their horizons, immerse themselves in a new culture, and forge lifelong connections that transcend borders.

Since 1961, over 700 students have benefited from this extraordinary program. They’ve returned home with more than just degrees; they’ve gained a deeper understanding of the world, a broadened perspective, and a passion for international collaboration. They are scientists, artists, teachers, and entrepreneurs, each contributing to a global community enriched by their experiences.

The Quadrille Ball is a testament to the power of collective giving. It’s a reminder that behind the glamour and the gowns lies a profound commitment to fostering educational exchange and building bridges between nations. Every waltz, every donation, is a step towards a future where cultural understanding and academic excellence pave the way for a more connected and harmonious world.
