Lessons from the Red Carpet

3/13/2015

0 Comments

 
I have the fortunate pleasure of wearing “multiple hats” within my brand; being a fitness and lifestyle expert.  Two years ago, I crossed into the world of social media in way I never imagined would change my life. I began getting involved in social media communities, sending in video and comments for the Ricki Lake show.  I found my navigation in social to be awkward and elementary, but laughing my way through it! This led me to being asked to serve as a lifestyle & fitness expert for a major Hollywood entertainment show.  

One month later after the show aired, I was asked to join an exclusive group known as the TWITTERARITTI. This is a group selected by a gentleman in the social industry, leading the way of merging social media, on line content with traditional TV, #SocialTV. This role has led me to the Grammys, Emmys, Billboards, BAFTAS, and Golden Globes supporting ET NOW, Insider and Access Hollywood, along with Garth Brooks and various movie premiers.  

For the second year in a row I have been invited to contribute to VANITY FAIR SOCIAL CLUB:  The inner-sanctum of Vanity Fair’s creative services troupe.  Each year,  Vanity Fair hosts CAMPAIGN Hollywood,  a week long series of VIP events for invited influencers, a series of VIP events with its exclusive advertising  partners leading up to the Oscars.  My job is to report tweet, post, film or vine the information. The week events are held at the exclusive WE WORK Building in LA. ​

We were also supporting  ACCESS HOLLYWOOD and they event built us our own set to set for the week!

The week began with a bit of a bump. My luggage never arrived to LAX.  The next day I was fortunate to have clothing from a sponsor CABI, delivered to my LA address to save me my first day.

My first panel was from the architect that built the Vanity Fair party into the most coveted event worldwide during Oscar week. Walking us through the history of the historic parties and iconic moments throughout the years. Followed by beauty tips from Armani Beauty Director, Tim Quinn.
​
The evening was all mine and we were invited the  beautiful  host Barbara Lazaroff,  Owner of the world famous SPAGO to enjoy the Chinese New year at her restaurant  CHINOIS known for its Asian Fusion food.

We enjoyed delicious food, friend and conversations! Colorful dancers all in celebration of the New year! Psst Nigel from dancing with the Stars was there too ;)  I was introduced to famed celebrity chef and designer, Jaime Laurita  who was so personable and fun! It was a beautiful night for all!

I came home and had a huge project due for one of my sponsors. It was exhausted. It took me over 4 hours to write 5 pages. I would type and out my head down on the pillow. I thought about getting up a at 4 am to complete  the take but I knew I just had to push through the challenge and get the job done.  It reminded me how strong we can be if we put our minds to it 

The next day I got  THE call...THE CALL! The one where you are being requested to work the red carpet! 

I was crying. So overwhelmed  that my luggage was still missing,  that I got the “dream call” but I was so unprepared. I was in the mindset to say no. It was my girlie, maria, who said do what you have to do. I am forever grateful to her for that response! 

I bought a dress in 7 minutes flat at Ross for Less. $14.99 to boot!  Finally, we got the suitcase back as well so things were coming together!

It is a thrilling time, to amp up my skill set, and release my fears! When you are on the red carpet there is no room for errors! It is a hyper speed fast pace where you must be on your toes and on your toes you are, you feet HURT afterwards!  My assignment was the private party for the cast and crew of Boyhood.

It is imperative to do research to come up with “original” content on the talent from the movie. All of my pre work went out the window when we learned of our position on the carpet. We  were the last to interview the talent and had to redo our questions to be fast and concise. I started asking  the cast and crew of boyhood to share their style in a  #Hashtag.  I was thrilled when Patricia Arquette laughed and answered #OverAlls! 

On Friday, we spent the  day covering #Loreal Dry Bar, Louise Roe new book, Chrysler tour as well as young entrepreneur panel. A full and  fast paced day!

Friday night was a delicious dinner at the famed Beverly Wilshire Hotel , home to the movie pretty woman . We had a delicious meal at the Blvd., the hotel restaurant. 

The food was delicious and with such sophisticated atmosphere with a jazz singer the winding blowing through the windows overlooking Wilshire blvd.  Truly an enchanted evening.

VFSC and ACCSS took care of our every need – from “swag: vending machines, food sweets and unlimited champagne,  from Food Ink Grocerie  and Victoria _coffee, they kept us full and happy all week long  to say the least! The caterers walked 7  miles a day, taking care of our needs! (insert photos)

It was time to pick up our jewelry by celebrity jeweler, Mark Lash . Off we went to the suite to choose and be stylized.  His work takes my breath away, each and every time! Diamonds truly are a girl’s best friend!

On Saturday night, I was invited to a movie premier for my dear friend, Sergio Navarretta, who ironically is Canadian and was debuting his film in Hollywood at Mann Chinese Theatre!  The movie,  entitled “ The Colossal Failure of the Modern Relationship”  starring  Enrico Colantoni  We loved the movie! Love, passion, heartbreak with delicious food and wine! What a beautiful way to support my friend and his film!

SUNDAY Oscars day!

We got up at the crack of dawn to arrive for hair and makeup and the Wilshire Hotel.

Created videos and social support for Vitamix, New Balance and Viva Vantage paper towels all before noon! 

It was time to get busy! Focus and report on the red carpet and award show. I don’t think my eyes left my phone for hours!  It is such a super fast pace but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

When the show was over. I get a wave of sadness that comes over me. I have grown to love these people as family over the years. We spent so much concentrated time together. They truly inspire me on so many way. I leave more of my heart in LA each and every time.

I said to my boss, until next time and his response.. you have no idea ;) Stay tuned and thank YOU for all of your love and support!      


To Your Health,

Access Hollywood social team for the Golden Globes

1/23/2015

I was asked to be a part of Access Hollywood social team for the Golden Globes, and I was thrilled!

When we arrived at the set of NBC , the parking lot had Jay Leno parking spot still at the front. ​
Picture
I had a feeling  there would be a lot of nostalgia due to the iconic talent that has worked on the very set that I would be  tweeting from.

 We were escorted to the set and when I first laid eyes on it I thought it was so vibrant  and inviting. Access prepared everything for us! From tables for laptops to all the extension cords a social girl could wish for!

A lot of people enquire, what  exactly do I do at these events? It depends on the event . Sometimes I am on the red carpet interviewing celebrities while tweeting and posting. Other times I am “on set” reviewing live feed and supporting  the show “on line’ to share their message and my commentary.

We had YouTube sensation I strawberry leading the way with her social influencers.

Liz Hernandez  came by and was so gracious, encouraging us to feel at home at  Access. Then it was time to get to work! Our goal as the twitteratti team, is to engage people in conversation on all social platforms.   Billy Bush came shining through with his genuine personality and playfulness on the carpet.

For me,there were certain highlights for me from the globes. Michael Keaton’s acceptance speech on his childhood and importance of being “kind”  brought me to tears. 

Gina Rodriguez  on the importance of not giving up on your dreams. With tears streaming down her face, she lit up the room with her authenticity, and Kevin Spacey  and the poignant quote  were my personal favourite parts of the night!
Picture
Please see my  YourTube channel for video from behind the scenes  of the studio. A fun fact  is the  Access set is the old Johny Carson ! If those walls could talk!

As fast as we arrive, is as fast as we have to leave, for the crew must prepare the set for a 5 am start time! ​
