This original platform of brand-curated information will feature blog posts from a panel of notables.  Their musings will touch upon a variety of subjects from film and family to nightlife and politics in a way that reflects their approach to getting the most out of the demanding lives people lead in today's complex world.  These accomplished individuals will each author posts that will seek to connect with and inspire people who share the same thirst for life.

Through their personal social media footprints and diverse backgrounds these influencers will provide exclusive insight into their lives and connect readers to their social network of today's most notable and fascinating icons.

"I live by a simple credo. 'There is no box.'  The second you start limiting your full potential by letting society dictate what you're truly capable of is the second you stop living," said TV personality Sal Masekela.  "I'm honored to be amongst this diverse squad of individuals who have repeatedly chosen to break ground instead of building on an old foundation.  With WeResistSimple.com, Tanqueray celebrates this movement and offers consumers a unique opportunity to celebrate individuality and responsibility at the same time."
