UPDATE -- UPDATE -- UPDATE -- UPDATE

On Thursday, September 21 former MDO member Daniel Rene opened the Ralph Lauren/Seventeen fashion show at the Macy's in New York City. He sang three songs from his upcoming album DANIEL RENE: "Love of Your Life", "Give Me a Chance", and the first single "I Take It Back". The audience went wild for him! After the fashion show, those in attendance were able to get autographs and pictures from him and the group Dream who had closed the show. Daniel keeps popping up in the teen fan magazines so keep scouring those magazine racks. And of course, remember to pick up the October/November Latin Girl where Daniel appears in an article that I wrote! (this update is courtesy of Rita Joy of RFC)
