Hellga Blog 4 – Oscar Time

What an exciting time it’s all been – the girl who has always felt like an outcast of sorts is in the inside track now! For years I’ve wished to get invited to the big nights – oscar and emmy award parties… I’d made it as far as to the NY Emmy Awards with a friend, but never invited to anything myself….

This year I was invited to the red carpet for the large Academy Awards afterparty sponsored by Billboard and Children Uniting Nations. One of the largest parties, following only the Vanity Fair and Elton John AIDS Foundation Party in size.

I would have been happy just being on the list – but to do the red carpet on a night such as this was an incredible experience and milestone for me.

Thank goodness I love shopping! I’m a sale hunting diva of the highest form – so luckily I had on hand a gorgeous Tadashi dress I’d found in Vegas. Why this is lucky is that I was asked the age old question, “Who are you wearing tonight?” And as it happened the host asking the question was a former model for the designer! When I’m that nervous things like this help immensely!

VIP room cocktails, kudos from friends, a performance by Cirque du Soliel, and great music and dancing was what the night entailed. With two great friends in tow, we made the most of an incredible night and danced to some seriously funkadelic music! We want the funk!

Alex “Millitia” Castro was there that night too with the Cirque folks (he’s a choreographer and performer for the famed troupe), but we both looked so incredible different dolled up we glanced at one another 100 times but didn’t think we were who we were! Ugh!

But a big thanks to Billboard, Children Uniting Nations, and Jeff Gund with Infolist for putting all of this together! You made it an incredible night for all, not the least of which this Gladiator.
