Balloons, Music and Celebrities

For starters, I finally got my friend at ET on the phone and we're working on the story. The balloon boy did not win that battle. Secondly, I really don't like unscripted programming and do you remember when MTV actually played music videos. Its becoming increasingly more difficult for someone like me to be introduced to new music when there are places like Sirius/XM where you can choose the channel and the free radio plays the same songs all the time. I loved watching MTV but now its all American Idol. That's the trade off? Perhaps I'm just an oldie but goodie. But then I'm in Spin class at Reebok with the amazing Marc Selden and he puts on this song that rocks my mind. Mind you, It doesn't take a lot but I heard this song that was really awesome called "Nothing Ever Hurt Like You" by James Morrison. Yes he's been around for a while but maybe because he's on the other side of the pond or again it wasn't a "single" it wasn't till three weeks ago that I found my new obsession. Went to Itunes and downloaded all his CD's and like my mom when she burned a hole in her 45 for the Beatles "I Want to Hold Your Hand," I just can't keep listening to that song. I mean who hasn't wanted to walk through glass for the one you love. Its whether they will be waiting for you on the other side when you are all cut and bloody is the question...

I digress... Our super hot client Reshma Shetty rocked it out in this week's Star Mag in a purple Catherine Malandrino dress. Go Reshma...

Preston Bailey was mentioned in the NY Post on Friday and Mark Indelicato had a super cute boxing photo run in their photo section on Sunday from the Bahamas!

Let's not forget Tamara Tunie doing her "Sunday Routine" in the New York Times - its pretty revealing - def read that one and it shows you how sexy and cool 50 can be.

Very excited about Banana Shpeel but more on that later....

Have a great night and peace out!

Celebrate Good Times With Preston Bailey's new book CELEBRATIONS!


Our client world renowned event designer Preston Bailey released his fourth book, PRESTON BAILEY: CELEBRATIONS, this week by Rizzoli New York.

CELEBRATIONS is divided into two parts, the first half of the book is arranged thematically into chapters focusing on Dramatic Statements, The Magic of Tents, Ceremonies, Table Settings, and Details, offering readers hundreds of inspiring ideas. Design elements ranging from towering cascades of fresh flowers, chairs “dressed” in couture slipcovers, table place cards suspended overhead on glittering crystal and pearl garlands, tents fashioned to “wow”, and many other rich details, are sure to encourage anyone planning a celebration of their own to think outside the box.

Featured in Transformations are ten never-before-published events, each lavishly illustrated in its entirety. From a royal wedding in the Middle East, where Bailey and his team transformed a convention center into a vibrant green oasis, to a West Coast birthday celebration set in a round tent with a see-though roof so that guests could watch the fireworks from their chairs. Each of the events included in Preston Bailey: Celebrations spectacularly showcases the power of Bailey’s boundless imagination and will inspire the reader to reach beyond the expected.

Preston brought his exotic tastes and natural flair for color and design to his floral business in New York City in the 1980’s. Since then, he has been sharing his innate taste-making talents with the fashionable and famous, creating magical events for such luminaries as Oprah Winfrey, Matt Lauer, Joan Rivers, and Donald Trump. Bailey’s uniquely inventive and thematic style has allowed him to transform raw, empty spaces into sumptuous, theatrical environments that defy all expectations, and his particular eye for lighting and texture has earned him critical acclaim throughout his career.
