Mike McGuiness & Kari Feinstein
Bonjourno trufflers!! Kari Feinstein and Mike McGuiness are setting up shop right now for their Pre-Emmys Style Lounge in Beverly Hills. As people close to the core may know Kari is the originator of the pre-awards show beauty and pampering parties. Having known and grown up with Kari (and even working for her) I have watched the other swag and beauty suites pop up over the years trying to pinch her style. The coolest thing about Kari and her partner Mike McGuiness (besides having attendees like Adrien Brody, Ben Affleck and Bradley Cooper) is that – although they are pure professionals – they also have a fierce cool factor, know absolutely everyone and are synonymous with young Hollwood from WAY before they were in the business of young Hollywood. That can be said of very few.
