Greer’s OC Visits Emmy Gifting Suites
08.28.14
By Sue Facter
Ever wonder what it would be like to attend an award-gifting suite? Greer's OC was fortunate to do some Emmy hopping and we have the 411!
The GBK Gift Lounge, hosted by Gavin Keilly, took over the L'Ermitage Beverly Hills. Edie Falco, Viola Davis, and Dasha Polanco collected a Maxim (queen sized) mattress, Michael Todd True Organics, Soniclear (from the man who invented the scrunchy), Di Modolo Milano Lolita bangles, trips to Muli Luxury Resort in Nusa Dua, Bali, Moon Palace Spa and Golf Resort in the Caribbean, The Little Nell in Aspen and something close to home, The Crescent in Beverly Hills.
Penny Marshall said that the Original Pet Pal Dog Bedding was for a friend. Our best sighting was Angela Bassett who flashed us a million dollar smile. The favorite is The Artisan Group’s array of handcrafted designers. Featured were Amelia’s Southern Expression, Nan Gates Designs, Shannon Howard Fine Art Photography, Julie Ellyn Designs, and Zoe and Piper.
Doris Bergman hosted her 5th annual pre Emmy Gift Lounge at Fig and Olive with a Mediterranean style luncheon. Jon Voight picked up a tux that Art Lewin Bespoke Clothiers designed. Halso visited MDSun’s (Dr. George Sun, plastic surgeon, who showcased his products), Whitening Lightening and Gerard Cosmetics a Red Carpet Survival Kit and Intemporelle Designs (not your grandmothers' clutches).
Kate Burton, R. J. Mitte, Dot Marie Jones and Khandi Alexander attended.
Popular vendor, Twisted Silver (and Perch Jewelry) gifted Debra Mitchell designs that she unravels from the environment. My Saint My Hero showcased bracelets with spiritual messages. Telic Footwear provided comfy sandals and Single, pretty dresses. Vida Emanuel European Day Spa gifted in-house treatments. The kids from Wednesday's Child were honored.
We can’t forget the glam locale of Debbie Durkin's Beverly Hilton's Stardust Penthouse EcoLounge. Ray Donovan's Elliott Gould brought his lady and his pooch. We missed Beau Bridges and his baby blues. But we caught up with “Dancing with the Stars” Glev Savchenko.
This soiree gifted Armani Wells Distinctive Men’s Clothiers, Baylee Nasco, J Andre Spopnges, Alignmed posture shirts, Serengeti Eyewear, Canine Caviar and Feline Caviar, Club W Wine Tasting, Ties by Mark Roscoe Couture (they loaned gowns too). We were a bit surprised when we walked on the terrace to see a female guest air brush tanning in the nude. Bathing suits were optional! And the OC was represented! OC Hair and Makeup provided touchups.
