62nd Primetime Emmy® Awards - August 29th @ 5pm PST on NBC

The City is all a buzz over the 62nd Primetime Emmys.

Oh, it is so wonderful to feel all of the positive energy that is circulating around Rodeo Drive.

Jimmy Fallon will host the 62nd Primetime Emmy® Awards - (5-8 p.m. PT, 8-11 p.m. ET), from NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles. it should be very entertaining.

The categories are: Drama, Comedy, Variety/Musical, Lead Actor Comedy & Drama and Lead Actress Comedy & Drama.

Mr. Clooney, Actor, director, producer - puts his money where his mouth is.

Mr.Clooney is the fourth person in the history of the Emmys to receive the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award live at the

62nd Primetime Emmy® Awards for the "Hope for Haiti" TV special, which is nominated for an Emmy award, and his efforts to raise funds for victims of Hurricane Katrina and raise awareness about genocide in Darfur.

Mr. Clooney's got soul, good looks, swagger

and money and don't think twice about being his brother's keeper. He just is.

He has helped people out globally - red, yellow, black, white and brown - those who are not as fortunate in life, get back on their feet. What a conscious man.

That is how Mr. Clooney gets down. We've got nothing but love for you baby.... Salute!

The 2010 Primetime Emmy Governors Ball is going to be unforgettable.

For starters, the Jazz Blues vocalist, Barbara Morrison and her Trio is performing at the Governors Ball. Barbara Morrison recently performed at the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival in Scotland.

Chef Alec Lectr is on the left, giving us a preview of what's to be served.

Thank goodness Sequoia Productions is spearheading the event because we know it will be grand, Darling.

Enjoy the show...

Smooches,
Carla

And now for something completely different

I wanted to let you know that I'm working on a startup.

It's focused on an area that I'm passionate about, information management. We think we can do something that will make a big improvement in the lives of people on the go who are overwhelmed by the flow of information through their lives, especially in business. I'm teamed up with two excellent software engineers I knew from Apple. Between us, we have a huge base of experience in both big tech companies and startups, and I feel very excited about what we're developing.

The company is in the early stages. We've already started development, and the first version of the product is about halfway done. We're raising a bit of angel funding to bring the product to market. If you're familiar with the fundraising process, you know it involves a ton of networking. In that spirit, if you're interested in what we're doing and want to talk about it, please contact me at the address here.

Between the startup work and some consulting I'm still doing to cover expenses, there isn't much time available for writing on the weblog. There are a lot of things I want to write about, and I'll try to do some posts as time permits. But in the meantime, I apologize for going quiet, and I hope that when the product goes live you'll agree that the wait was worthwhile.

102 degrees °F - Keeping it Cool in the Middle of a Sizzle, Baby

Well now we Southern Californians are all accustomed to the weather being around an oh so lovely 70 degrees°F in the city. But when it's 102 degrees °F at home, well, the next best thing to do is head for the beach, where the 70s Rock, Darling...

While heading for the Santa Monica Beach,

Lana Leazer and I simply had to accept the invite to tour the brand new Bloomingdale's - Santa Monica Place store, located between Third Street Promenade and Santa Monica pier.

This particular store is 80,000 square feet of selling space and is fashioned after Bloomingdale's New York City's Soho location.

As Michael Gould, chairman and CEO of Bloomingdale's stated, "We have designed a store that will provide a sophisticated shopping experience with the sensibility of a beach community and hope it will become Santa Monica's newest neighborhood store." Yes Michael, those of us who are heading to the Santa Monica beach from Beverly Hills will be there to shop...

The store concentrates on clothing and accessories for men and women - everything you can think of that is related to a Southern California lifestyle, catering to the professional that visits, lives and works near the beach.

Did you hear me?

The clothes, shoes and accessories for men and women are fabulous!
I walked through the welcoming doors and was immediately greeted by everyone I came in contact with. Before I could even get to the escalator leading to the second floor, I stopped at the David Yurman counter, where Debbie Patterson showed me the latest - thanks Debbie!

Rhonda Lantz-Teichert, General Manager and Kerry Borland, PR Manager, are two women that took the time to take everyone in our private party on a tour of the store, giving us a first exposure to the new store - it was very exciting! Of course, Kerry Borland , PR Manager, lost me in the shoe department, but she patiently waited for me and the other ladies in our group to rejoin our tour!

While escalating up, I met another smooth B-Stylist and he was talk, dark and handsome - you know who you are - this SuperStar, professional escorted me over to the private fashion show/event being sponsored by Jeff Levy,Publisher of WHERE Magazine in conjunction with Bloomingdale's- Santa Monica Place. Jeff Levy knows that Christine Noriega* knows how to select a venue and throw a fabulous party! The food and drinks were provided by local restaurants in the Santa Monica area.

Hats off to Coy Rozier, Selling Stylist, who helped coordinate some of the clothing that were used in the fashion show - and to all the people behind the scenes that put this lovely event together.

Smooches,
