Ooops! I think you dropped something…

“You know who? Oh yes, please right this way!”

Having had my first Hollywood Oscar Party experience last night I can say it was interesting and a bit surreal, and I leaned that name dropping is the name of the game at the list check table. So much name dropping in fact that I was surprised no one tripped and fell on their way in. I ran a shift for the after party and let me tell you, you do not want to deal with people who think they are very important because they know someone important and you have to tell them they are not on the list. Indignant scoffing and desperate whiny cell phone calls will be made to people already inside the party. Also, everyone and their mother thinks they are entitled to a gift bag. Just sayin’. Other than dealing with a few of these unsavory moments, it was kind of fun and there was some good crowd watching to be had.

Now let the celebrity name dropping begin: Jennifer Love Hewitt was hosting the party, I didn’t actually meet her but she looked stunning and she’s shorter than you’d think. Sasha Cohen was there (she’s about half the size of JLH), the flying tomato kid, and some soap opera people I didn’t recognize. But the really exciting moment for me was when Mr. Eko of LOST showed up at my check in table. I tried to be cool but I’m sure I came off as a total star-struck spazz. He seemed very nice and I shook his hand and got him and his publicist their passes.

All in all I would say it was a good time. I wore a dress and bothered to get my hair and nails done and my co-workers would not shut up about how great I looked, so that was a little embarrassing. Just goes to show what a slob I am at the office most days I guess, hehe.


Edit: I just got pics from the photographer and couldn't resist posting them, my hair may never be that shiny again. You can click for big
