Where Was I Last Weekend? In LA for the Emmy Awards, That’s Where
I have never attended a red carpet event before and I hope it’s not my last!
I was one of three lucky bloggers including Angie from Bakerella.com and Aly from AlyWalansky.com who were invited to Emmy weekend to cover the festivities on behalf of Duncan Hines, the official dessert sponsor of the Emmy Awards. And as was expected, it was amazing!

I got in early Friday afternoon and while I waited for my room I sipped a few complimentary beverages in the SLS Beverly Hills‘ Trés Lounge. Lovely!
And then Friday night, we got all dolled up and attended the Performers Nominee Reception at the Pacific Design Center where we were literally rubbing shoulders with Emmy nominees from Elizabeth Moss (Mad Men) to Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family) and even Glenn Close. Yes, it was surreal!
The red carpet was exciting to see. The paparrazi were everywhere, but, of course, were not allowed into the party. The red carpet was glamorous and posh. Cameras flashed, celebs smiled. It was fun to watch!
Inside, the party was spectacular, beautiful people were everywhere (after all we were in LA), food and drink were plentiful, and of course the Duncan Hines cupcake suite was a huge draw. There were literally only a few cupcakes left at the end of the evening.
Towards the end of the evening, each nominee received a certificate for their Emmy nominations. Here’s Connie Britton from Friday Night Lights.
And the oh-so-fabulous, Glenn Close.

At the end of the evening, Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family jammed out with the band. If you are a Modern Family fan, you know why this is one of my favorite photos of the weekend.

Saturday we had the day off. Of course, I hit the beach. I am so tired of going to LA and not seeing the beach. That had to change this time. And it did!

Sunday was perfect. The weather was beautiful. The red carpet was even more fabulous than Friday night and the stars were stunning. It’s amazing how tiny the stars are. Yes, TV does add 10 to 15 pounds. The people you watch on TV are tiny, tiny little things and are so gorgeous in person.
I took a lot of red carpet photos that you can see on Flickr. My favorites, though, are:
Al Pacino
Steve Carell
Betty White
and Paula Abdul!
I would love to thank Duncan Hines for inviting me out to cover their sponsorship of the Emmy Awards. It was such a great fit to be the official dessert sponsor.The entire team did a marvelous job and everything turned out beautifully. I’m so thrilled I got to be a part of it.
