Chef Michael's "Be My Valentine Doggie Dinner Party"

Despite the BLIZZARD, we produced a one of a kind event last night for Purina! Celebrity guests such as, Elisabeth Rohm, Jennifer Exposito, Michael Urie, Jill Zarin and many other dog lovers came to Gotham Hall with their pups to attend Chef Michael's
"BE MY VALENTINE DOGGIE DINNER PARTY."



Gotham Hall glowed in hues of pink and red. The event furnished with white lounge furniture, glo-cubes, custom-made doggie dinner tables, pink-hearted doggie beds, and pink water stations.


Forty foot long silver shimmery fabric was lit in red with a splash of clear lights that created the feeling of twinkling stars overhead. Glo-balls in varying sizes were gelled in pink and red.


Pink water stations were provided for our four-legged guests


Two elaborate sprays of orchids WOW'ed our guests at the entrance!



An individually plated Chef Michael's dinner was served to the canine attendees by our wait staff.
(Our buddy was really hungry; he jumped on to the table! UH OH!)



As Elizabeth Rohm, the star of Heroes, Shared a heartwarming story about her rescued dog Homer. Our doggy guests put on their best behavior and listened!



They also danced their night away!



Best friends hung out together :)

Party was definitely a dog friendly environment. Our four legged guests made themselves at home on the custom-made heart beds!

Beauty 360 Gifting Suite for the Golden Globes

CVS Presents Beauty 360
Golden Globes Gifting Suite



This past weekend we designed and built the set for Beauty 360 as a part of the On3/Access Hollywood Golden Globes Gifting Suite! The suite was a great success and was attended by stars and nominees like Neil Patrick Harris, Jennie Garth, Anna Lynn McCord, Busy Phillips, Shenea Grimes, and many others!

Beauty 360 had a suite with hair by Ric Pipino, make-up by Vincent Longo, facials and skincare by Borba, lashed by Pop Beauty, and nails by Nailtini. Below are some photos from the set, let us know what you guys think!



The set was designed to reflect the clean contemporary look of the Beauty 360s stores.

We had a custom sign made from Lucite for the Beauty 360 logo. The wall glowed blue from behind so the sign was able to glow also.

Ric Pipino provided the hair styling at the event, he was great!

There was a fragrance bar in the center of the set with some of Beauty 360's fragrance offerings.
Borba took care of the skincare at the event and even gave mini-facials to the guests.

Vincent Longo provided the make-up, his products are beautiful!

After about 20 hours straight of building the set Jes was exhausted! We covered her up for a cat-nap with a furniture blanket (she only got 5 mins before we were busy again!)
