The Ladies of Platinum Star Entertainment to be Featured on hit Slice Network Show, Matchmaker on Sat May 24 and Sun May 25!

The Ladies of Platinum Star Entertainment, Carol Allen, Jules Francis and Dionne Warren make their first on-camera appearance together on Slice Network's Matchmaker series!

Jules is a busy, spontaneous, and kind-hearted woman who invests so much attention in others that she can’t make time for herself. Her friends Dionne and Carol have combined forces to show her how to relax by setting her up with Mark, a man they are sure will help Jules stake a claim for her own happiness. The date gets off to a lavish start with a couples manicure session, but will Jules’ open-heart stretch far enough to forgive Mark for the ridiculous striptease with which he ends the date?

Watch it on Slice Network!
