Virgins Get Smart About Art

Venice, Schmenice! The "Smart Art Virgins" of Los Angeles were out in full force at the Beverly Center last Wednesday, June 13th for our L'Oreal Get Smart About Art party. Thanks to our friends at L'Oreal Paris, who gave us free reign to turn their beauty emporium into an art gallery for a two-hour fete featuring works by British pop artist, Mandy Smart.

Local Go-To Girl, Laura Satterfield, co-owner of South La Brea gallery, is the "broad" who advises philanthropist Eli Broad on how to manage his art collection. She tipped off a crowd of 80 art lovers on how to take the plunge into the world of collecting -- even without a billionaire's bank balance!

Mandy's fashion-inspired canvasses were displayed around the store throughout the evening. You can check them out at MandySmart.com. If you see something that inspires, drop her a line, and tell her Virgin's Guide sent you!

Thanks to event sponsors, LACMA and MOCA/The MOCA Contemporaries, and congratulations to our raffle winners, who took home various Virgin's Guide prize packs featuring LACMA tickets and a membership to MOCA Contemporaries.

Virgins on Tour Take 2: Wine & Chocolate in Chicago

Here’s a special shout-out to our Spirits & Sustenance Go-To Girl, Linsey Herman, hostess with the most-est of our Chicago wine & chocolate party at the Conrad Hotel.

What a packed house! Folks from Chicago Yelp showed up, Orbitz sent three of their finest and a few women even caught a train from Kalamazoo, MI just to attend!

A former Four Seasons Pastry Chef, and a buyer for Whole Foods, we always check in with Linsey at her Cake and Commerce blog for her latest musings on cooking, food trends, roommates, family, and every once and a while an amuse bouche on Linsey’s la vie d’amour.
