Holiday lights and more lights
On Saturday night I was invited to take a drive through Pasadena and neighboring Altadena to look at home decorations. What an amazing journey. There were Santa's, snoopy dogs, snowmen, Grinches, elves, angels, penguins, manger tableau's, Sponge Bob Squarepants and gingerbread men. And some of those characters were in the same scene. Who knew that they knew each other? I'm glad that these home owners still took the time to put up decorations and even happier that I won't get their electric bills.

PROST luncheon
It's that time of year when PROST holds its annual holiday luncheon at Lawry's Prime Rib in Beverly Hills. The Beverly Hills CVB hosted a table of hoteliers for our annual catching-up and gossip hour. Cheers to a great new year! And Tim, I'm sorry that you have a green patch over your right eye - I was trying to get the red-eye out.

Best in Show
Neiman Marcus, 9700 Wilshire Blvd, won Best in Show for the Courier's Holiday Window Decorating Contest. I walked over there to see just what the fuss was about. Each window features a princess in a different environment, magically dressed in fabulous gowns. Here's The Princess in the Garden amid fantastical insects and flowers.

Dear Wendy,
And thank you for your birthday card and Zodiac info.
I never knew I was a Delft! I'll have to come up with
some way to turn Delft to my advantage. Hmmm...
(any suggestions?)
I hope we can get together after the new year and I
wish you a Happy Chanukah, a Merry Christmas, and a
Happy New Year.
To a healthy and prosperous and less stressful 2009!

Miracle on 34th Street
Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life" is my favorite seasonal movie but running a close second is "Miracle on 34th Street". Edmund Gwenn won the supporting actor Oscar for his enchanting turn as Kris Kringle who gets a job as Macy's Santa Claus. Last night the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented a digitally restored 35mm print which was recreated from archival elements stored both at the Library of Congress and Twentieth Century Fox. After this Best Picture nominee's credits rolled and the lights came up, there were families slowing milling about and putting on their coats. Like Maureen O'Hara's cynical divorced store executive, we were all a bit restored. I do believe!

The Grammy Museum at L.A. Live
Last evening, Los Angeles Magazine hosted a marvelous party on the rooftop of the new Grammy Museum in downtown L.A. Surrounded by the best holiday music and delicious bites, the attendees were invited to visit the 3 floors of Grammy memorabilia and interactive programing. It's a great opportunity to deepen your understanding of music, culture and history. We all wished we could have stayed longer! http://www.grammymuseum.org/ Seen here are Sherwin Banda, Luxe Hotel Rodeo Drive General Manager, Roger owner of Grace Home, Samantha Greenfield, Luxury Goods Director for LA Magazine and me.

Thought for the day
You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a fruit fly and still have enough room for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart. -Fred Allen
Let's hope that SAG settles their contract soon and we all have a peaceful holiday season.

Loteria Hollywood
The Loteria Grill in Hollywood was our destination last night. Owner Jimmy Shaw shared some tequila and micro brew with us before we dined on a delicious meal. The four of us tasted a variety of items while Jimmy entertained us with stories of Loteria, a Mexican game of chance similar to Bingo. The walls of his Hollywood restaurant and those at his Farmer's Market location on Third Street are decorated with cards from the game. Worth a trip to either destination.
Rodeo Drive sparkles...
Come and visit throughout the holiday season. The UNICEF snowflake and Baccarat chandeliers will continue to sparkle through New Year’s Day, and visitors to Beverly Hills will also enjoy two hours of free parking at City parking garages along Rodeo, Beverly and Canon Drives (look for the turquoise blue parking signs). There are some amazing bargains out there!

Seen at the Luxe
Strike a Pose
Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913–2008 is the first major exhibition to bring together the magazine's historic archive of rare vintage prints with its contemporary photographs. The exhibition explores the ways in which photography and celebrity have interacted and changed and represents pieces by Cecil Beaton, Harry Benson, Julian Broad, Imogen Cunningham, Annie Leibovitz, Man Ray, Mary Ellen Mark, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, Edward Steichen, Mario Testino, and Bruce Weber. Things have changed and not changed at all! I was fascinated by the early period, 1913-1936. I had forgotten that Vanity Fair was resuscitated again in 1983, so there was a bonus contemporary section too. Luxe Hotel Rodeo Drive is offering a weekend package with two tickets included.
