WOW! Emmy Lounge
The best thing about this year’s Emmys was all the pre-Emmy parties and lounges. They are the best places to discover new products and trends. A great example was the WOW Creations Media event. Founders Matt and Mark Harris hosted their celebrity gifting lounge at the Luxe Hotel in Beverly Hills.

A star of The Big Bang Theory, Emmy nominee Mayim Bialik was there. But even more impressive was seeing a man who has actually touched stardust, astronaut Buzz Aldrin. The hero who walked on the moon says he’s happy that people nowdays recognized him from his stint on Dancing With the Stars, and loved his patriotic routines.
WOW’s Matt and Mark Harris treat everyone like a star at their soirees, which have included events at the Kentucky Derby, Sundance Film Festival, Canadian Country Music Awards, as well as prestigious Hollywood affairs.
The Harris brothers have been featured as experts on A&E’s Storage Wars, and their appearnace sparked a great idea for their own show, if some enterprising network or production company is looking for a unique angle for the celebrity scene.
Face Forward
Comic-actor Tom Arnold is a wacky guy, but he got very serious when he talked about the reason why he took on the emcee duties for the third annual Face Forward Gala. “Wounds run deep. And if we can help with the scars on the outside, maybe we can start the healing process on the inside.”

That sensitivity made Arnold the perfect guy to help make the event a successful fundraiser for the not for profit Face Forward organization (facela.net) founded by Dr. David Alessi and his wife Deborah Alessi. It helps provide facial reconstructive services for women and children who have been victims of violence. Reigning over the glamorous Moroccan-themed night at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, Dr. and Mrs. Alessi deserve tremendous credit for the caring work they do.
The Face Forward event also had actress Bonnie Somerville (A Holiday Engagement) helping Arnold with his emcee duties. With a crowd saturated with doctors, the stunning blonde was funny when she kept announcing that she was healthy and single.

Expo Green Pavilion Founders Kim Kreiss and Patrycja Siewert-Towns put together the ultimate entertainment lounge to raise awareness in the green community in conjunction with their charity.
