The Season for Gifts
Happy Holidays for Celebs Checking out GBK Gifting Lounge
Before the holiday celebrations began, celebrities were gathering at the GBK Lounge to check out the latest fabulous fashions and items that are sure to make it on Santa’s nice list.
Surrounding the special events for the American Music Awards, GBK Productions set up one of their finest luxury lifestyle lounges, and celebrities and VIPs were invited.

A big highlight of the day of indulging was seeing the great hip hop group Day 26 create a party when they entered the penthouse of the Evo-South eco-friendly condos downtown LA, where the GBK event took place. Qwanell and the rest of the guys went crazy over the Ace Karaoke equipment and put their soulful R&B voices together to make beautiful music for all to enjoy. No wonder their “Forever In Your Eyes” release is so remarkable.
