Escape from NY...& NJ

By Laura Medina


During the start of his trunk show tour in West Hollywood, on Melrose Avenue, Alvin Valley a.k.a. "The King of Pants," was so glad he escaped New York in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy..;and he loves LA, the warm, dry, and sunny sunshine, the electricity, the infrastructure, and the only-in-LA amenities...no hurricanes.  He was also thrilled his whole current collection arrived in West Hollywood, all in one piece and dry.


Cointreau's Head Mixologist, Kyle Ford consider this Mansion Cointreau L.A. stop a working vacation.  There are lights, electricity, obviously plenty of libation, and warm, cooked meals (he doesn't care if they're piping hot hor d' oeuvres).  This sure beats being without electricity for a week in Manhattan, cooking noodles by candle light, lighting a match to his stove in order to cook. 

A publicist commented she worked all week with little or no electricity in the Garden State.

LalaLand looks like paradise to these Hurrican Sandy survivors; and they still retain their graciousness with thankfulness.

Since these survivors survived with style and grace, why can't we lucky Los Angelenos help out our fellow East Coast fashionistas get back on their feet?

This Thursday night, November 8th, at the Christopher Guy Showroom on 8900 Beverly Boulevard, Suite 106.

They're throwing a fundraiser from 6pm until 8pm. Donations are obviously very much welcomed.

Let them know you're coming by RSVPing at rsvp@corymartinevents.com.

Any amount of cash is welcomed.  Cold cocktails and warm hors d' oeuvres will be there, can't say that in New Jersey right now.
