GBK’S PRE-GOLDEN GLOBES GIFT LOUNGE 2018, Karen Salkin

"I was thrilled that GBK’s gifting lounge for this years Golden Globes was held at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills for, I believe, the very first time.  I love that gorgeous, classy hotel; I always feel ritzier just entering it!

It took place in the second floor Contessa Room, and was laid-out perfectly in such a way that everyone was totally comfortable.  And, as always, it looked beautiful.

My contributing writer on this one is Flo Selfman, who was new to GBK.  She was as impressed as I was with it.  She told me, “The elegance began the moment we entered the hotel and continued into the spacious exhibit room.” Having an artistic eye, she touted the “soft lighting which accented the gold-and-white theme of the displays,” and we both loved the “pops of color” on the front of the “cool DJ booth at the far end of the room.”

 

"The Artisan Group—I’m always thrilled to see this wonderful collection of artists at GBK, and Flo was bowled-over when she saw the bags of goodies they were gifting each guest! Jewelry is her thing, and there was much of that.  But that’s far from the only category of gifts from this group; I’m always overwhelmed by their various creations!  Since my birthday is January 14, (yes, you all did just miss it…and I did take names!,) opening a bag from The Artisan Group is all I ever need to celebrate with. Here are the highlights of what we discovered in them: As always-polite beings, we both especially appreciated the “very cool” thank you notes from Beez Kneez Designs, which come in two different lovely color combos (www.beezkneezdesigns.com); CY Design Studio’s golden hoop earrings with dangly pink stones, which Flo says “brings out the gypsy in me!” (www.cydesignstudio.com); bracelets made of “pea-sized” wooden beads from Maple Syrup & Co., which Flo deems perfect for “school, hiking, or a beer with the gang,” and added, “Best of all, they weigh nothing!” (www.maplesyrupco.com); Designed by Stacey’s “tres chic” cubic zirconia suspended from a fine golden Y-drop chain, which goes with everything, no matter the time or season (www.designedbystaceyjewelry.com); “all-natural, ph-balanced, cruelty-free, and great-smelling” vetiver lime shave soap for the men from Three Sisters Apothecary(www.soapcauldron.com); Andrea’s Wired Designs’ 14k gold-filled modern design earrings featuring a drop made of “preciosa” glass (www.awdinsilver.com); Botanical Therapy’s flavorful lip balms, to which Flo says, “M-wah! That’s a big kiss from my formerly chapped lips after using these creamy and pure sticks” (www.botanicaltherapy.com); and The SignifyCollection’s timeless gold chain with two interconnected golden circles (www.katyavalera.etsy.com.)  Whew—that’s a heck of a lot of creativity in one group of artists! www.theartisangroup.org"
