Carlos is buddies with Nichole Richie, the Olsens, the Hiltons, Erin Wasson, Mischa Barton and several other notable names around town.

He now has launched “Neverwood High:” which “Welcome to the first ever online school. Who says you have to live in 90210 to attend the most exclusive high school? Pick who sits at your table in the cafeteria and find out the latest trends, styles, and future fads”.

Shane Powers is a L.A. based promoter for exclusive set of high-end patrons, celebrities, the entertainment crowd and just about the most beautiful women you could possibly muster up.
