It’s a 007 Theme for Eco Oscar Sustainable Gift Lounge
The grass is always greener in the backyard of a Beverly Hills estate, perfectly in keeping with the theme of Debbie Durkin’s Main Event Red Carpet Lounge Eco-Oscar event celebrating the 85th Annual Academy Awards.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the James Bond movies, 007 also played a big part in what is billed as a sustainable event. In honor of the fact that Ian Fleming wrote his spy novels in Jamaica, the Jamaican Tourist Board was fully engaged in the two-day event, telling guests about all of the attractions of the island nation.
Coley’s Cuisine served up authentic Jamaican food and signature cocktails and the Tennessee Spirits Company poured its whiskey brands including one called Forbidden Secret Dark Mocha American Cream.
Guests included Malik Bendejelloul, Oscar winner for Best Documentary/Searching for Sugar Man; Reginald Hudlin, Oscar nominee for Best Picture/Django Unchained, David Costabile, from Oscar-nominated Lincoln and cast members of USA Network’s Suits.
There were also some live musical performances that benefited the charity The Mics, which aims to improve literacy and raise awareness about the environment amongst at-risk students in Stockton, California.
Brands participating included OPI nail products with its James Bond nail lacquer collection, jeweler Michael Greene, Hugrz boot wraps and Shaklee Get Clean Home Care Kits.
