Paciugo Gelato Caffe & PinkSlipMixers.com Event

SAN JOSE, CA, May 25, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Los Angeles-based denim maker, !iT Jeans, is providing hope that America can get through these challenging times by giving the gift of style. Partnering with PinkSlipMixers.com, a grass-roots organization of unemployed professionals that provides unique "pink slip party" networking events, !iT Jeans will continue their G.I.F.T. Movement called "Survival of the Fittest Initiative," by providing PinkSlipMixers attendees the expertise on how to dress for success to interviews, and how to utilize social media as a tool to finding a job. The daytime beach job networking event will be May 26, 2009 at Paciugo Gelato and Caffe in Hermosa Beach, CA.

While the G.I.F.T Movement's core focus are young professionals, Kimmy Song, CEO of !iT Jeans, says, "At our first joint event with PinkSlipMixers.com in April 2009, we witnessed the positive affects of our campaign to offer hope to job seekers, both young and seasoned, by providing them with a pair of designer denim jeans. We noticed that we could also provide another benefit to the community by teaching them how to improve their personal style to bolster their physical confidence during their job interviewing. For the PinkSlipMixers.com event on May 26th, we will have a local style coach on hand to talk about the importance of dressing correctly for a job interview to match that corporate culture. Our Survivial of the Fittest Initiative is more than physical dress but an entire physical attitude improvement for job seekers. We feel it is the right thing to do and will inspire other like-minded companies to follow suit."

The PinkSlipMixers.com event is also more than the typical pink slip party, a popular and growing trend around the country. Job seekers at PinkSlipMixer events utilize online social media to "Twitter" career criteria along with their Linkedin.com resume in hopes of maximizing their job search exposure. Edwin Duterte, the creator of PinkSlipMixers.com, explains, "We appreciate the efforts of !iT Jeans and to "Pay It Forward" to them, our members will be Twittering and sharing the 'Survival of the Fittest' and the G.I.F.T. Movement with others.

"As a job seeker, I'm concentrating on my job search and keeping my ears open for job opportunities for me and fellow seekers. Often times, I forget the importance of first physical appearance and the organizers of the GIFT Movement reminds me that I also need to work on my initial impressions to hiring managers." says Edwin Duterte.

Details of the "Survival of the Fittest" initiative:
At select PinkSlipMixers.com events, !iT Jeans will be providing free jeans to participants who show proof of unemployment, such as an unemployment benefits stub, as well as proof of online Twitter postings at twitter.com/PinkGIFT.

Gelato and Ice Cream: What is the difference?


Gelato has significantly less butterfat than ice cream's typical 18 and 26 percent. However, less fat does not mean less taste. With the lower butterfat content, gelato is less solidly frozen than ice cream and melts in the mouth faster. Therefore, you will taste gelato's full flavor immediately.

Gelato has a much higher density than ice cream. Ice cream is mad by mixing butterfat/cream, milk and sugar, then adding air. Mass producer of ice cream add more air when producing ice cream because it doubles the quantity of the ice cream. But, it cuts their quality in half. No air is added to gelato. Therefore, gelato is a higher quality dessert with a richer, creamier taste and 70% less fat than traditional ice cream.

Gelato is served slightly warmer than ice cream. Both gelato and ice cream are served well below the freezing temperature, gelato is served 10 to 15 degrees warmer than ice cream. Because gelato is less solidly frozen, gelato's taste is further enhanced as it melts in your mouth.

Why not let your palate experience the difference, preparing your own gelato from home could very well be a fun messy concoction. Try easy recipes such as Chocolate and Baileys.

Paciugo Gelato Voted as Best Ice Cream in South Bay


Paciugo Gelato Caffe in Hermosa Beach voted as Best Ice Cream in the 2009 Best of the Beach Easy Reader News Survey. Here's what they said:

It’s easy to fixate on the arcane flavors served at Paciugo gelato (www.paciugo.com) – like rose petal ice cream with chocolate chips, caramel and salt ice cream, or tiramisu ice cream that really does taste like tiramisu. The normal flavors (and they do have cherry, vanilla, and strawberry) are fantastic, too – made fresh daily without preservatives, and bursting with flavor. The ice cream is rich, soft, and naturally low in fat, and if you are really health-conscious or just prefer sorbet, they have a huge variety of flavors in that category, too. Mind you, despite the fact that they have over 200 flavors in their repertoire, not all are available every day – you may have to return several times to find the strawberry basil sorbet, but we’re betting you won’t mind.
Paciugo Gelato: 1034 Hermosa Ave., Hermosa Beach. (310) 379-2525.
