Letter From The Editor: July 2009

WHAT A TERRIFIC ISSUE!  

Seriously everyone, we have been working like demon dogs on this one and rightly so—this is our spectacular Summer 2009 Issue. 

Another reason that this issue is so special is that in June we launch our Beverly Hills Times Magazine Fashion Show that will be held each month at the Peninsula Hotel, Beverly Hills.  You know how East Coast people are always ragging on us LAers because all we like are Levis, tank tops and lots of big, tacky bling.  Well, NO MORE! Except for the lots of big, tacky bling part… there will always be lots of that!  

Anyway fashion has arrived and each month the Beverly Hills Times magazine will host a very creative Fashion Show, featuring the most talented and delicious designers that L.A. has to offer.  We hope to flash some serious summer looks on the runway.  As a designer you are invited to gather your most ultra brilliant and creative edge, dress the models and strut your genius.   If you’re not a designer, but still like models and like to oogle and comment on who’s-wearing-what and want to eat and drink and net-work galore and have an amazing time…sit in the audience.

Also each month we will have a fabulous and well-known celebrity on board to help open the show.  For our first event this month, we were able to hunt down, hog tie and drag in the legendary entertainer Smokey Robinson.  We are thrilled that even with his busy schedule Smokey gave so generously of his time to make the event amazing.    

Each of our Fashion Shows will also benefit a charity or non-profit organization that is helping people improve their lives.  Because we are huge animal loves, we will also help our furry friends from the animal world by showcasing talented designers in the doggie fashion world.  We’ll have some adorable pets for adoption at some of the shows, and of course, there will be runway shows with dogs dressed to impress in couture.  After all this is Beverly Hills!

Email us with comments, and for information or questions.  And be sure to check out our web site:  www.beverlyhillstimesmagazine.com for updates.  It’s limited seating, so reservations are a must.

Our silent auction is for anyone with a heart interested in donating to our charity of the month.   In June it’s Red Eye, Inc., an affiliate of the Dream Center.  Their goal is to help their peers—L.A. youngins’ stay off drugs and alcohol and focus on improving and expanding personal goals, educational endeavors and professional aspirations.  Red Eye, Inc., made our first fashion show more blessing than work.  Check out the amazing work that this young group does for our community.      Visit the organization’s website at: www.redeyeinc.org or email for information: info@redeyeinc.org.
