MILK STUDIOS, LOS ANGELES
On December 12th our friends from amfAR came to Los Angeles for their annual inspiration gala. Hosted by Sharon Stone, Chelsea Handler, Keneth Cole, and honoring Goldie Hawn, Hugo Boss, and Elizabeth Taylor's daughter in law, Aileen Getty. The night was supported by many celebrity faces (pictured: Zoe Saldana, Gilles Merini, Kelly Osbourne, Devon Aoki, and Alessandra Ambrosio) and California icons such as the Chateau Marmont and Gloria Ferrer. A funny moment was when Sharon Stone kissed a bidder in the mouth to keep him bidding (and she must be so persuasive: the night raised 4M dollars!). The best part of the night was when Grace Jones performed. I think I cried when she started singing La Vie En Rose - definitely a big deal for me. I used to listen to my mom's 70s disco albums when I was very little and that song meant everything. I feel very lucky that I was able to see Grace Jones perform (she also did the hoola hop, such a diva!). I will keep reporting about the amfAR work. Big shoutout to amfAR's sweetheart Shameek Bose.
