For the last couple of years I have been getting contacted by a promotions company in Hollywood asking if I wanted to participate in their Oscar "Swag" event (or Grammy's, VMA's...etc)
This is basically where they rent out a hotel ballroom and fill it with booths from all different vendors who can then show their stuff to the various "VIP's" invited to the event. The celebrities can then have their pick of anything they want for free.
What do the vendors get out of this?
They get to take a picture with the celebrity holding their product, and tell everyone that "so-and-so uses our stuff and isn't that so cool?"
While I've never been to one of these things myself, I have a feeling that the VIP's run less along the lines of Brad & Angelina and more along the lines of "that guy who played Brook Shields boyfriend on that series that got cancelled 10 years ago".
No thanks.

Hey...I bet you're right. I was thinking that it's not even the celebs but the people who work for them snagging the swag.
Question: Did you make Uli's envelope locket necklace? She was on the last season of Project Runway. She wore it every episode and while looking on the net, I really saw no other seller of this exact piece. I just ordered one but I wish you made it in silver.
Very cute things!
No, hers was a little different...not sure who the manufacturer is.
We did try these in sterling silver originally, but found that they didn't hold up as well as the stainless steel.
Stainless Steel rocks! ;-)
