Posted on January 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

2011 InStyle Golden Globes Beauty Lounge

Welcome to the 2011 InStyle Golden Globes Beauty Lounge! Come one, come all (but only if your a celebrity) to be primped and pampered for all the pre-parties, post parties and red carpets!

On of the best places to be this weekend was the Four Seasons hotel on Doheny. Our friends over at ID PR were handling appointments for celebrities and press at the annual Golden Globes InStyle Beauty Lounge. L’Oreal, OPI and smartwater all had a presence with manicure stations, hair and make-up counters and bars with food and coffee and tea and cupcakes everywhere. Cara Kleinhaut from Cara Events has handled production on this event for the fourth year in a row and had just handled the CAA pre-party held with W Magazine at the Chateau Marmont the night before.

Party List! 2011 Golden Globes Party List

Posted on January 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

We often get a lot of flack when we post parties ahead of time … it’s our favorite thing to do but it causes a lot of PR firms, celebrity wranglers and other friends of ours here at the Truffle to get 500 extra calls checking to see if there is space left on their lists. We are always hesitant to do it, however, since our good friend Matt Donnelly – reporter extraordinaire, went and popped the cherry this morning on the L.A. Times with a full blown roster of fetes for the Golden Globes weekend (nice Matt, lol)  - we decided we could go ahead and do our usual party list as well.

We are most excited for the Access Hollywood Gift Lounge at the Sofitel tomorrow but other good parties include: In-Style Beauty Lounge, BAFTA‘s usual tea party and HBO‘s luxury lounge – all at the Four Seasons (this a step in the right direction for BAFTA who has always done their parties at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in the past which is kinda, eh. #renovateme). Weinstein‘s party is at Bar 210 (#RIPtradervics) in the Bev Hilton and the In Style/Warner Brothers Viewing Party, HBO’s after party, Fox and the NBC/Universal party are also in the hotel. The actual awards are held here in the hotel as well from 5pm to 8pm so these parties are super convenient. Other parties from Matt’s list include Paramount, W Magazine (on Friday at Chateau produced by Cara events hosted by W editor Stefano Tonchi) party and Art of Elysium / Vogue party (on Saturday).

Also of note, the Critic’s Choice Awards which is held tonight at the Palladium (and airs tonight as well) will have their party at Siren Studios afterwards. *Please check out our lists from Sundance, Emmys, Oscars, MTV Movie Awards, and MTV Video Awards from 2010 by clicking on Awards Season.
