Big night at Soho House

Last Friday was a big intro night party for Bremont to the Hollywood scene. It was an incredible night. We were the guest of honor (i.e. picking up the bill at the end of the night) of this big Hollywood producer at Soho House. He invited a huge amount of celebs for us to meet. It was very surreal. I was sitting in front of Sting and his other half, Ryan Seacrest, Olivia Wilde and a bunch of English actors (I don't really know). We all ended up at the bar upstair for a few drinks. Only thing is NO PICTURES allowed (club rules).... sorry about this. Now the big question is, how is that supposed to sell watches... well apparently it is how you have to do it in Hollywood- totally different than the UK. Got myself a very nice white little dress with a sun tan and big hollywood hair!

The PROOF!

Saturday 20th of march... half way through!

This weekend I am on my own with the kiddies, Nick being in Switzerland for 10 days and I have been invited to 2 things. (wow!) So first I went to skinny PR lady at her house for a swim with the kids... she has to be nice to me, after all my hubby is paying her! It went well but I came back exhausted. I just feel so stressed and on my guards the whole time... nothing like the western road ladies! Tomorrow is a doc and film producer brunch in Culver City (an area of LA)... not sure if I will make this one, although Nick thinks I should to get "the momentum" going.

Great news, my parents are arriving in 3 days! Which means lots of ME time. I cannot wait for a little break, without school or pre school it is pretty much non stop.

Tuesday 16 of March... First L.A. Earthquake!

It is hot, sunny, beachy and shaky! Yesterday Nick and I both woke up by a 4.4 magnitude earthquake. It was Nick's first one and we both realized that we need to get geared up in case of a big one. Nick is off for 10 days today (Switzerland and England) so on the way to the airport I must buy torches (or flashlight) and what else... I am not sure. Life is just ticking along; home schooling every morning then off to the beach (or park) then back home for tea time. Every night the kids and I have a hot tube which means no bath! (bleached everyday after a day of sweating on the beach). I have my next glam evening schedule for the 26th of march. Bremont is hosting an exclusive evening at soho house and if everything goes to plan could be very interesting and fun... and I can take pictures this time!

Will keep you posted.

Following my first pre oscar party!!!!!

Saturday night Nick and I were invited to a pre oscar party at the Madeo Restaurant in Beverly Hills (hosted by Chanel and Charles Finch). It was a small intimate affair (about 150 people) but FULL of big celebs. The woman there were so beautiful and slim and glam it was unreal. It was hard to act cool and not stair. When we arrived we had to walk through about 30 paps all waiting to take pictures (shall I even mention that not a flash bulb went off went we went by) by it was very intimidating anyway. We had a great time. Sat next to Alan Cumming and his husband, they were such great company and very entertaining.

Have a look at the weblink below for all the pictures but just to name a few; Dustin Hoffman, Harvey Keitel, Angelica Houston, Mini Driver, Roseanne Arquette, Belthazar Getty, Cat Deeley, Matt Dillon, etc, etc were all there. Now, how do you beat that?

Week 3 or is it 4?

This week is Elodie's birthday! (Thanks to Lucy for reminding me .... I thought it was the following week). Due to the lack of little friends, we thought we would do the obvious american thing... go to an all american restaurant and buy her the biggest pink cake. Elodie is certain Ella will be coming... oh dear!

We had a good weekend, went to the L.A. zoo with all the family. It was a rainy day so we were about the only one there... on a saturday. We could not believe it! They told us L.A. people don't do rain. Unbelievable!

Sunday we were invited to famous british adventurer pad in Malibu with all the family. It was great to be "normal" and relax and not watch what we were saying. All went well until Capucine told the mum with the little sweet baby boy that "he has a big silly head and looks like an alien!".

Today Nick told me about our first big night out. On Saturday pre oscar party hosted by big PR firm. What am I supposed to wear? I am on a diet for next 5 days. Need pedicure, manicure blow dry (or is it job... Lucy will get that one) but at least I have a tan.

Going swimming with the kids at the skinny socialite's house tomorrow. Will need to ensure the kids don't strip off. We went swimming last week to a public pool and were told off when the kids all got naked to put on their swimming gear! Men and boys must keep their shirt in parks... no little naked bottom on the beach. Europeans are sooooo much more laid back!

Will let you know how my big night went!
