Halloween is only days away! Do you have your night of freaks and fun planned yet? If not, there are so many events right here in Hollywood that you don’t have to go far. On Saturday, October 27th, The Highlands Club is hosting the 5th Annual Costume Ball featuring Marilyn Manson. On October 31st, the streets of Hollywood become the LARGEST HALLOWEEN PARTY IN THE WORLD! On Santa Monica Blvd, from La Cienega down to Doheny, a transformation into the most shocking and outrages costume party ever will occur. The activities will include: 3 stages of live entertainment , bars and restaurants that will be open till 2am. After such a night, don’t fight the goblins and witches and stay at the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel for a perfectly sinister night!

There is nothing I need more then a day of restoration, pampering and balance and I would bet you need it too! Well, coming in the early part of 2008, this sanctuary of inner wellness and serenity will be located on the 5th floor of the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel. Spa Luce will indulge each guest with personalized treatments, top-of-the line products and Eastern traditions of pampering. The Spa will feature 7 rooms of harmony that include: a couple’s massage room, manicure and pedicure stations and a hydrotherapy tub. Hollywood & Highlands is becoming a mecca of bliss, from the ultra stylish Twist Restaurant, world-class shopping and Luxury accomodations, you may never want to leave.

This year I am on the planning committee for this great event that will be crossing the country this Fall.  CMN Torch Relay spans from coast to coast over 5,000 miles and culminates with a celebration event here in Hollywood.  On November 18th (Sunday before Thanksgiving), there will be a mid-day event to welcome the torch to its final resting place in the H&H Central Courtyard. 

The Children’s Miracle Network raises money for a collection of 27 non-profit children’s hospitals across the country.  In 2006 this relay raised $1,000,000 for this organization and our goal is to crush that number this year.  Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles is the local member of this organization.  This year will be my third year to participate in this event and it is more fun and more rewording each time.  Please register to join us in walking, running or riding through any community as the torch crosses the country.
