HERE I AM READY to head OUT to the ADVANCED LOVE PROM which was CELEBRATING
ARI SETH COHEN’s LATEST BOOK ADVANCED LOVE!
THINK I have ENOUGH JEWELS ON!
Waiting for MY UBER DRIVER!
Did you know in Los Angeles they come within TWO MINUTES?
The RAINCOAT was MY MOTHER’s!
AN old LAURA BIAGIOTTI……remember her?
I have worn it a few times at HALLOWEEN to be a WITCH!
But Never as what it was MADE FOR THE RAIN!
Jewels are COSTUME and the GLITTERED BALL ROPE is from MY CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS!
Pearl bracelets tied with BLACK RIBBON from that SHOP in San Diego I KEEP TELLING YOU ABOUT called CHATEAU BEL AGE!!!!!!
I stuck an OLD FUR CLIP on a set of costume PEARLS which is one of MY FAVORITE PIECES!
MY BUDDY and ME had a SWELL TIME MINGLING AT THE PARTY of ALL PARTIES!
MY UBER DRIVER walked me to the event as we were across the street!
Do you know he is a DRUMMER for THE EQUIVALENT of BARBARA STREISAND in IRAN?!!
THESE DRIVERS CAN BE SO INTERESTING TO TALK TO!
THE COVER OF THE BOOK!
I think I have already TOLD YOU ALL that I am MENTIONED on THE LAST PAGE of THE BOOK!
As I FOUND TWO OF THE COUPLE’s that are FEATURED INSIDE!
BURSTING WITH PRIDE I am!!!!
SOME of the GUESTS………..I forget what she was showing ME!
One of the couples I sourced for the BOOK!
She use to SHOP in MY ANTIQUE SHOP!
They met at a FASHION SHOW!
BOTH were models……..
THIS BOOK MAKES A WONDERFUL VALENTINES DAY GIFT!
NIBBLES at The FESTIVITIES……..even FAIRY DUST that must have been EDIBLE!
ONLY IN L.A.!!!
I Love how the touch of real Flowers made it into THE DISPLAY!
Let’s STORE THAT IDEA!
TUTTIFRUITTY and HYLAN at The party!
I met him the following DAY at The Book SIGNING and learned that he had worked for a FASHION HOUSE called HOUSE of WORTH in LONDON!
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!
I felt like I was with a MOVIE STAR!
He met his wife on an AIRPLANE on VALENTINES DAY in 1985.
THIS MAN is 80 years OLD!!!!!!!!
HARD TO BELIEVE!
THIS IS one of MY FAVORITE FINDS of ARI’s!
WE have ARI’S MOTHER TO THANK for HER!!!!!
She gives
Carmen Dell’Orefice
A RUN for her money!
I met her once in Palm Springs!
In her resale shop!
I of course reminded her of that and I have to say I have
NEVER MET A KINDER NICER PERSON than COLLEEN HEIDEMANN.
Because of ARI and the exposure from his first book
she has CLOSED the RESALE SHOP and is a FULL TIME MODEL!
ADVANCED LOVE BOOKS FOR SALE………..
PERFECT GIFT FOR ANY AGE!
THE MAN HIMSELF SIGNING BOOKS…………
MY MOUTH LITERALLY FELL OPEN WHEN I SAW 10 seconds with GMA!
She is from ORANGE, CALIFORNIA and her GRANDDAUGHTERS put her on INSTAGRAM!
Most are short videos with advise and or giggles of GMA!!!
PRICELESS………REALLY!
SHE TOO MADE ADVANCED LOVE BOOK with her HUSBAND!
SO, This is a HOLLYWOOD STAR!
CARE TO TAKE A GUESS?
She was pointed OUT to me by a lovely lady who does SCULPTURE.
I made MY MOVE to snap a PHOTO from behind, but on my way to do THAT I ran into THE HOSTESS of the PARTY!
SONIA BOYAJIAN
as we were in her STUDIO!
She makes JEWELRY!
(Lisa note the name!!)
I Babbled my idea of snapping a photo from behind of THE STAR and SONIA said,
” NO NO NO!!”
She will NOT mind a photo with her……….
” OH NO I do NOT want to bother HER as I’m certain SHE is BOTHERED ENOUGH!”
OBVIOUSLY, she was FRIENDS with The OWNER of the STUDIO as we walked over to HER and me in my way BLURTED OUT,
“YOU had to be POINTED OUT TO ME as I did not know who you were!”
“She took one look at me and said,” AND I NEED TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE!”
GOT IT NOW?!!
I had to google her as I was CERTAIN she had won an OSCAR!
NO OSCAR came up but SHE IS THE HIGHEST PAID ACTRESS IN HOLLYWOOD TODAY!
HONESTLY, how do I get SO LUCKY to meet these PEOPLE?!!
Well, as you can see I did NOT get a GOOD PHOTO with her………SHE LOOKS STUNNING.
What was I doing?
MUST HAVE BEEN STAR STRUCK!
HER name is SCARLETT JOHENSSON just in case you need a HINT LIKE ME!
I think MY PROBLEM was the MULTIPLE CAMERAS going OFF!
I didNOT know where to LOOK!!!!!!!!
CAN we call this MY PAPARAZZI MOMENT!
IT’S NOT EASY!
I HAVE ADMIRATION FOR THESE FOLKS NOW!
THATS HARD TO DO!
RETAKE PLEASE!
LOVE THIS WOMANS NECKLACE!
SHE WAS FILMING THE PROFESSIONAL HULA HOOPER and I SNAPPED HER!
SHE HAS GORGEOUS RED HAIR!
THIS WAS OUR HOSTESS FOR THE PARTY!
SONIA BOYAJIAN.
YOUR CONTESSA was swinging HER HIPS TO THE BEAT!

You never cease to amaze with a raincoat that folds up to a handkerchief (and can double as a witch’s costume on a moment’s notice), a table that fits into a handbag (for those endless and table-less airport waits), xmas tree bling draped around your neck (who needs a tree?), and too many ETC’s to count. HOLLYWOOD needs your star in its tiara…XO
Scarlett Johansson was fab in “Lost in Translation” and a few others. Congrats on your book, CONTESSA. I still think you and the Italian should have had a section!
