Fish lips and big boobs

I can finally cross one thing off my bucket list...attending a celebrity filled event, the Screen Actors Guild Award show! But first, let me tell you all about the days leading up to the show. Last Wednesday, I met my sister in LA to see how the rich live. First off, we stayed at a fabulous, chic hotel in Beverly Hills (the hotel where sometimes the actress, Julianna Margulies, stays). It was really a very nice hotel with big beautiful rooms and an extremely helpful staff. However, my sister and I could not figure out how to work the various digital lights in our room. It was really quite comical. God forbid, you had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night (which we did) or if you were too drunk to figure out how to turn off the bedside lamps.

Beverly Hills is one strange place where EVERYONE is skinny and beautiful. I've never seen so many women with big boobs, tanned skin, botox faces and platypus lips. It really is all about how you look, the clothes you wear, the type of car you drive and how much money you have. Walking down the infamous Rodeo Drive, I went into a store and looked at a pair of shoes that cost a measly $3500! That was where I also saw my first celebrity, Phil Spector, looking very peculiar. My sister and I did some of the usual touristy things, like a tour of the celebrity homes or rather their very tall gates and hedges, and driving down Sunset Blvd and Melrose Ave in West Hollywood. At night, we had great dinners at some of the hottest restaurants in Beverly Hills. Watching the women and men strut their stuff was a hoot! But deciding what to wear and getting all glammed up was very stressful and not my thing. Thank god my sister (who's a fashionista) brought some extra clothing for me. Stay tuned for part II of my exciting weekend in LA.
