Academy Award Gifting Event

This past weekend I had the great opportunity of helping at an Academy Award gifting event. It was so much fun, Erika and Christy also came and we had a blast together. The head coordinators of the gifting event was kind enough to let me pass out my product for free when every other vendor had to pay $10,000-$15,000 for a booth! We sure did luck out. It was located at the SLS hotel in Hollywood! We saw some b-lister stars overall it was a blast. Here are a few faces I was able to snap a shot of with True Birds accessories!


Here is Annalynn McCord the star of 90210, she is also rumored to be in "New Moon" the second book in the Twilight series. I had the opportunity to escort her around to all of the different booths. She was so sweet and nice and had the cutest accent, she was from Atlanta, GA. It was so fun to see how real celebrities are. I guess I was expecting them to be arrogant or something but I did not meet one person of that nature!

Here is Tony Dennison from "The Closer", with Keira Sedgewick. I also had the opportunity to escort him and had fun getting to know him...it is amazing how open he was about his life, he talked about his girlfriend, and his relationship woes he went through with his last girlfriend. He even asked some advice as to what products his current girlfriend would want. It was funny to because he went to another gifting event Heather was at and said he recognized her and Heather asked him if he went to "The Secret Room Gifting Event" and informed him that I was there and that we were twins. He was so nice and told me he would personally gift a True Birds accessory to Keira. What a stud! This girl had to be my favorite of the day! Her name is Holly Fields and she was such a joy to be around Christy and I co-teamed and escorted her around. She was a guest star in a couple of episodes of The OC. But she is mostly recognized for her voice overs, she has done voice overs for stars such as Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore to name a few. She was newly engaged and full of life and a charming personality!


This is Kim Coles, she was such a fun lady and hilarious as well as she is both an actor and comedian.
Last but not least is Melissa Farman from this season's Lost. She plays the young Danielle Rousseau and I completely recognized her as she walked through the door because she was on a recent episode of Lost. She is one multi-tasker she has been involved with acting along with going to school full time...what a go-getter.
We all had a blast and when we left one night Erika said she saw Nathan from Heroes. It was so fun for the weekend, but I do not know if I could handle living there the LA lifestyle is so busy all the time.
