The BHCC's Celebration of Excellence Awards ceremony was fa-bu-lous!
It was one of those events that everyone involved in the retail business in Beverly Hills just had to be there. The place was packed, and everyone whas dressed! I mean, Gucci, Escada, Dolce & Gabbana, as well as St. John knits - with the appropriate pearls and pumps. But I'm sure you knew that already.
Mayor Jimmy Delshad has such a great sense of humor, and was delighted to give the awards to the recipients.
Bijan, the clothing designer - was one of the two people given the Celebration of Excellence award. Bijan has been on Rodeo Dr. for at least 3 decades. He has a first class shop on Rodeo Dr. proper.
Warren Ackerman, an Entrepreneur and business man in the community for the past 55 years was given the award as well. He's been a member of the Beverly Hills Chamber for 50 years.
Well - Mr. Ackerman is 90 years old and still as sharp as a whip! He saw me walking by, and reached out and said, "Carla, come here and give me a kiss." and I did. I kissed him and his lovely wife. It was my pleasure.
Randy Furhman Designs had the place looking sooo beautiful! The center pieces were a big hit. There was edible chocolate in the center of beautiful roses! Everyone wanted to take them home, and a few people simply reached into the arrangement and started eating the dark chocolate centers.
What A lovely evening in a lovely setting...
