West Hollywood’s Hottest Oscar Party
Well … at least it was the funnest ;) Last night, David and I hosted our first shindig in our new home and had over a few friends to watch the Academy Awards with us. We rolled out an actual red carpet (well, towel) and had each guest pose for the paparazzi (well, my digicam) and then snacks, food and booze was had by all. Here are some photos of the red carpet arrivals:
Here are a few more arrivals pics and a few pics of the winners from last night’s Guess the Oscar Winner game:
It turns out that Mike won first prize — his own Snuggie! Darion won second prize, a Jack Bauer from 24 action figure and Alek took home third prize, a limited edition Echo from Dollhouse action figurine. After all the ballots were tallied and the prizes were handed out, it turned out that there was an error in calculation (math was never my strong suit) and Darion and Alek tied for second place. Fortunately, the award for tying for second place is a limited edition Echo from Dollhouse action figurine. So, yay!!!
The party went off without a hitch, we all had a great time. Everyone went home with a giftbag full of goodies … DVDs, CDs, nosiemakers, slap bracelets and an official Pink is the new Blog sticker! Yay!!!
I did get some bad news yesterday, tho. My mom was injured in an accident late Saturday night and had to get stitches in her head. She’s OK but after hearing her on the phone I decided to fly home to see her for a few days. I leave tonight and arrive early tomorrow morning. I’ll be there until Thursday. Posting should still be on schedule but depending on how things go over the next few days, it might be a little slow. In any event, I hope y’all had a great Oscar night last night … and I also hope you take some time to tell the people in your life how much you love them.

Trent, so sorry to hear about your mom’s accident. You’re a superlative son for flying to be with her, bring her lots of cheer!
On a lighter note, your party looked utterly faboo. What a great house-warming festivity!

OMG.. love the photo of the guy in the SNUGGIE! Or as we like to call it, the “What the F$(#K blanket!”
I’d have loved to see some ninja action going on with people beating the crap out of others for the award!!
Hope your mom is on the mend soon!!

As cheesy as the commercial is, I’m considering buying a snuggie myself! I’m catching a flight to LA (from tx)in less than a month and I think it would be a great airplane accessory! haha. I hope your moms recovers quickly!!

Your party looked awesome and that Snuggie is def in your friend’s color too. : )
February 23rd, 2009 at 1:59 pm
You go take care of your mom. We’ll sit here and wait patiently (sort of) for your return. And don’t forget to send her all our love!
February 23rd, 2009 at 2:04 pm
You are such a good son. I think my sister and I were little brats.Our mom was in a car accident when were about 8 and 10. She had gone Christmas shopping with my aunt that day. She had to go to the hospital for stitches in her head. When she got home all my sister and I could do was give her a hard time about not bringing us home a surprise like she promised. To this day I still feel bad about that,Luckily my younger sister doesn’t remember it. However, it is too late for me to tell her sorry. She passed away many years ago.
February 23rd, 2009 at 2:09 pm
haha, guy who’s “cryin’” – funny! :)
February 23rd, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Wow Trent I wish you had to invite me and my friend I had 15 right and she had 20 right! I would have taken her Snuggie though because she hates them.
February 23rd, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Have a safe trip and I hope your mom gets well soon!
February 23rd, 2009 at 3:27 pm

I’m excited to hear you’re going to have a store. Will those shirts you sold awhile back be available? I’ve always regretted that I never bought one!
