SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BOLDFACE Group, Inc. (OTCBB: BLBK), a celebrity beauty licensing company (the "Company" or "Boldface") founded by beauty industry veterans focused on top tier celebrity and designer brands to create product opportunities in the beauty, home and fragrance markets, today announced a further expansion of its board of directors to five members.

Mr. Victor Azrak started American Marketing Enterprises (AME) in June of 1993 with his brother Elliott. Within five years AME grew to become the leading licensed sleepwear company in the industry.
