Hollywood Underground Bridal Fashion Show
September 25th, 2008 Categories: Real Estate Tools, events in los angeles
When we took on The Hollywood project, we knew there would be tremendous residential appeal, we never anticipated our property to host a bridal fashion show – especially one like this!
On Thursday, the Hollywood Underground Bridal Show will offer an “alternative” twist – custom-made dresses catwalked by ghostly models with white hair, all staged in a graffiti-covered underground parking lot at the heart of the Hollywood Strip.
Come check it out, it’s free but you do need reservations.
When: 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday.
Where: The Hollywood, 6735 Yucca St.
Admission: Free, but reservations required.
Information: (323) 340-8002, www.deborahlafranchi.com, www.silvercharmevents.com.
I’ll be there with my team, so if you’re able to make it to the show please introduce yourself!

It is important for the luxury home to be insured at full replacement value, especially when fine craftsmanship and materials have been used in constructing or improving the home. Schussel said that when Chubb takes on the task of restoring the home to its original condition, they take the task very, very seriously. Restoration could involve flying plasterers in from Ireland to restore a mansion in San Diego or an estate in Connecticut.

“To excel in the structuring of a problem we must be committed to a concern for quality in everything in the world around us. We must learn to care deeply.”
—Charles Eames from Slide show “Excellence, G.E. M, 1967
In 2004, Lucia Eames and the Eames family embraced the concept of “caring deeply” by creating the Eames Foundation. The mission of the Foundation is to preserve and protect the Eames House and to provide educational experiences that celebrate the creative legacy of Charles and Ray Eames.
You can visit the Eames House in Pacific Palisades by calling to set up an appointment at least 48 hours in advance. Give me a call after your visit, I’d love to hear what you have to say about the property, 310-285-7515.
