HERE I AM READY to head OUT to the ADVANCED LOVE PROM which was CELEBRATING
ARI SETH COHEN’s LATEST BOOK ADVANCED LOVE!
THINK I have ENOUGH JEWELS ON!
Waiting for MY UBER DRIVER!
Did you know in Los Angeles they come within TWO MINUTES?
The RAINCOAT was MY MOTHER’s!
AN old LAURA BIAGIOTTI……remember her?
I have worn it a few times at HALLOWEEN to be a WITCH!
But Never as what it was MADE FOR THE RAIN!
Jewels are COSTUME and the GLITTERED BALL ROPE is from MY CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS!
Pearl bracelets tied with BLACK RIBBON from that SHOP in San Diego I KEEP TELLING YOU ABOUT called CHATEAU BEL AGE!!!!!!
I stuck an OLD FUR CLIP on a set of costume PEARLS which is one of MY FAVORITE PIECES!
MY BUDDY and ME had a SWELL TIME MINGLING AT THE PARTY of ALL PARTIES!
MY UBER DRIVER walked me to the event as we were across the street!
Do you know he is a DRUMMER for THE EQUIVALENT of BARBARA STREISAND in IRAN?!!
THESE DRIVERS CAN BE SO INTERESTING TO TALK TO!
THE COVER OF THE BOOK!
I think I have already TOLD YOU ALL that I am MENTIONED on THE LAST PAGE of THE BOOK!
As I FOUND TWO OF THE COUPLE’s that are FEATURED INSIDE!
BURSTING WITH PRIDE I am!!!!
SOME of the GUESTS………..I forget what she was showing ME!
One of the couples I sourced for the BOOK!
She use to SHOP in MY ANTIQUE SHOP!
They met at a FASHION SHOW!
BOTH were models……..
THIS BOOK MAKES A WONDERFUL VALENTINES DAY GIFT!
NIBBLES at The FESTIVITIES……..even FAIRY DUST that must have been EDIBLE!
ONLY IN L.A.!!!
I Love how the touch of real Flowers made it into THE DISPLAY!
Let’s STORE THAT IDEA!
TUTTIFRUITTY and HYLAN at The party!
I met him the following DAY at The Book SIGNING and learned that he had worked for a FASHION HOUSE called HOUSE of WORTH in LONDON!
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!
I felt like I was with a MOVIE STAR!
He met his wife on an AIRPLANE on VALENTINES DAY in 1985.
THIS MAN is 80 years OLD!!!!!!!!
HARD TO BELIEVE!
THIS IS one of MY FAVORITE FINDS of ARI’s!
WE have ARI’S MOTHER TO THANK for HER!!!!!
She gives
Carmen Dell’Orefice
A RUN for her money!
I met her once in Palm Springs!
In her resale shop!
I of course reminded her of that and I have to say I have
NEVER MET A KINDER NICER PERSON than COLLEEN HEIDEMANN.
Because of ARI and the exposure from his first book
she has CLOSED the RESALE SHOP and is a FULL TIME MODEL!
ADVANCED LOVE BOOKS FOR SALE………..
PERFECT GIFT FOR ANY AGE!
THE MAN HIMSELF SIGNING BOOKS…………
MY MOUTH LITERALLY FELL OPEN WHEN I SAW 10 seconds with GMA!
She is from ORANGE, CALIFORNIA and her GRANDDAUGHTERS put her on INSTAGRAM!
Most are short videos with advise and or giggles of GMA!!!
PRICELESS………REALLY!
SHE TOO MADE ADVANCED LOVE BOOK with her HUSBAND!
SO, This is a HOLLYWOOD STAR!
CARE TO TAKE A GUESS?
She was pointed OUT to me by a lovely lady who does SCULPTURE.
I made MY MOVE to snap a PHOTO from behind, but on my way to do THAT I ran into THE HOSTESS of the PARTY!
SONIA BOYAJIAN
as we were in her STUDIO!
She makes JEWELRY!
(Lisa note the name!!)
I Babbled my idea of snapping a photo from behind of THE STAR and SONIA said,
” NO NO NO!!”
She will NOT mind a photo with her……….
” OH NO I do NOT want to bother HER as I’m certain SHE is BOTHERED ENOUGH!”
OBVIOUSLY, she was FRIENDS with The OWNER of the STUDIO as we walked over to HER and me in my way BLURTED OUT,
“YOU had to be POINTED OUT TO ME as I did not know who you were!”
“She took one look at me and said,” AND I NEED TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE!”
GOT IT NOW?!!
I had to google her as I was CERTAIN she had won an OSCAR!
NO OSCAR came up but SHE IS THE HIGHEST PAID ACTRESS IN HOLLYWOOD TODAY!
HONESTLY, how do I get SO LUCKY to meet these PEOPLE?!!
Well, as you can see I did NOT get a GOOD PHOTO with her………SHE LOOKS STUNNING.
What was I doing?
MUST HAVE BEEN STAR STRUCK!
HER name is SCARLETT JOHENSSON just in case you need a HINT LIKE ME!
I think MY PROBLEM was the MULTIPLE CAMERAS going OFF!
I didNOT know where to LOOK!!!!!!!!
CAN we call this MY PAPARAZZI MOMENT!
IT’S NOT EASY!
I HAVE ADMIRATION FOR THESE FOLKS NOW!
THATS HARD TO DO!
RETAKE PLEASE!
LOVE THIS WOMANS NECKLACE!
SHE WAS FILMING THE PROFESSIONAL HULA HOOPER and I SNAPPED HER!
SHE HAS GORGEOUS RED HAIR!
THIS WAS OUR HOSTESS FOR THE PARTY!
SONIA BOYAJIAN.
YOUR CONTESSA was swinging HER HIPS TO THE BEAT!
I loved MY HULA HOOP at about the AGE of 10!
DID YOU?
IT was INVENTED in 1958!
LA CONTESSA & ARI SETH COHEN.
YES!
I WANT HIS TURBAN!
LOVE THIS!
THATS INK ON HER ARMS!
LOVE!
THE POM POM’S and the BOBBY SOCKS!
Does anyone know how BOBBY SOCKS got THAT NAME?
VALENTINES DAY IS FAST APPROACHING LET’S MAKE THIS BOOK FLY OFF THE SHELVES!
IT’s a JUST MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD KINDA BOOK with A LOT of WOW PHOTOS!
I apologize for MY PHOTOS HERE they are NOT UP TO SNUFF………….
But I thought YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT I WAS UP TOO in Los Angeles!

NO added weight!!!

Are there any pearls left in the world for the rest of us? You looked fabulous and the party was definitely over the top.
What fun to meet all these glitzy people and you were right there glitzing with them. Can’t wait to see the rest of the story.
Ari’s book is your right fabulous. I should know because I’m in it. So sorry to not be at all the festivities. I’ll make up for is somehow!

Rae Ecklund says
Well, here’s what I think: The costuming is exciting and wonderful in the extremes but love the class and elegant style that you chose for these shows. And thrilled to see Pattie Gerry there, too. And Meri and Jerry (I know he is Karl Lagerfeld posing as Jerry!)
So happy you share all of this. I am a “closet” dresser and sometimes try the extreme dress at weird hours shopping at Whole Foods. No one ever notices. Why IS that! Kidding, Elizabeth, and just letting you know your blogs are like a b12 injection. (I think. Never had one.)
LA CONTESSA says
YES A B-12 injection gave me EXTRA ENERGY only had it once!
YOU are NOT A CLOSET DRESSER!YOU are a CLASSY dresser with TODAYS LOOK added in!NO ONE would guess YOUR AGE!!!!!I mean NO ONE!!!!!!Keep on doing what YOU are doing!!!!!!!AS YOU LOOK GREAT!
XX
Ms. Mary says
Another great post. 🙂 You really get around! SO GLAD you were able to be there.
Did anyone recognise YOU (besides the obvious folks who already adore you)?
Funny tid-bit- I grew up in the city of Orange. In those days, it was all chicken (egg) ranches and orange goves. Now, not so much.
<3
LA CONTESSA says
NOT ONE PERSON!!!!!!!!!
HA!
UNLIKE OUR TRIP TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!
THAT WAS SO FUN!!!!!!!!BLEW me away to be recognized how many times?THREE??Clear across the UNTIED STATES!!!!
XX
Leslie Lord says

Rose says
Now you are really the crowned STAR of our little court. love your look , the jewelry your hair… I am star struck through your experience, Scarlet? OMG !!/ what next?? You belong in a castle, not a court (lol)
LA CONTESSA says
FUNNY and THANKS FOR THE COMMENT!!!
If HE would just hang those GATES I bought 15 years ago……….the HOUSE could be a CASTLE!!But we are missing A MOAT!!!
THIS CASTLE WILL ALWAYS BE A COTTAGE……………..XX
sailorgoil says
don’t know how you do it.
Bah Hum Bug…not only do I HATE dressing up, but BIG PARTIES?
looks like you had fun though. glad the Italian was home babysitting Banksy….
love you.
LA CONTESSA says
YOU would have LOVED the HULA HOOPER…………..I had two videos up but one disappeared……Check back as WE are trying to put it back UP!! SUCH GREAT entertainment!
MOST people DO dislike dressing PERIOD!……..Dressing UP is a LOST ART.
That would be a GOOD title for a BOOK!
YOU do the photos and I’ll WRITE about each ONE!

THANK YOU KIM!
WE ARE TOO YOUNG!!!!!!

Lisa White says
I think you need a TIARA….with PEARLS! I love your waterfall of pearls and THAT TURBANED MAN PENDANT with the live TURBANED ARI…spectacular turban turbulence times two!!!! That carved pendant is such an incredible piece. WOW! You were the style star for sure. It is always to tag along, even through cyber space, on one of your magnificent adventures. Always something to see and enjoy. Another smashing success! Sorry for not responding right away….I had to wait for my hands to thaw out.
LA CONTESSA says
YOU POOR THING!
HAVE THE TEMPS CLIMBED out of the negative numbers??!!
SENDING SPRING TO CHICAGO EARLY!!!!!!!!

Pipistrello says
You look like you had so much fun and your outfit for the night was so fabulous!! Love your Mum’s raincoat, it has a real opera coat look to it, especially over your textured skirt! Sorry to hear your Hair isn’t behaving nicely for you. It looks very good in your pics!
Scarlett looks like a polished lady, (and I reckon they are real pearls, too!!) although I’m surprised at the tattoo!! I don’t watch enough films these days to keep up with Recognisable Faces, much less how they adorn their bodies, so I’m right with you on needing to be told their names.
Hula hooping – isn’t that the key to a whittled waist??
Pipistrello says
Baci XX !!!
LA CONTESSA says
I THINK SO…………”WHITTLED WAIST!”THOSE days are GONE but SCARLETT has it MASTERED as I did note with my arm around her how TINY she is!I even told her and she replied with a THANK YOU!
BACI back at YA………….XX
lisa thomson says
Fantastic, Contessa! What fun and thank you for sharing all the glory and photos 😀 Scarlett Johansson was fab in “Lost in Translation” and a few others. Congrats on your book, CONTESSA. I still think you and the Italian should have had a section!
LA CONTESSA says
HE MUST BE SAVING US !!!!
NO, seriously we are too YOUNG for the BOOKS!I have two years to GO before becoming eligible for the ADVANCED STYLE MOVEMENT!I am a BIG BIG FAN of what he has done for the OLDER WOMEN!YOU could call me his CHEER LEADER!!!
I think his whole CONCEPT is BRILLIANT!
THANK YOU LISA………..XX
Lisa the Sequinist says
What a fantastic time, and how fun to be taken along with you, via photographs! You look amazing, I love what you are wearing and OMG the other people’s clothes as well. Lots of sparkle and sequins! I DO know Sonia Boyajian, how fantastic that you met her and were in her studio. I recently saw a strand of pearls that she did with gold dinosaurs along the front of the strand… fantastic.
I can’t wait to see more photos and read more about your adventures.
LA CONTESSA says
WELL, that DINOSAUR NECKLACE has YOUR NAME ALL OVER IT!Doesn’t your SON love those CREATURES?!!!She was a delight and her STUDIO was perfectly MANICURED!A NIGHT TO REMEMBER FOR SURE!
YES, The woman with the necklaces I loved had a COAT on that SCREAMED YOU TO ME!!!
XX
Nita says
Amazed! You are a star! Love seeing the glam!
DA Squires says
OOO LA LA!!! This was a night of Old, or shall we say, Vintage Hollywood Glamour… just love that the Movie Star wanted to know who YOU were… says it all. How could one night have so many pearls, so many hula hoops, and so much STAR power without a red carpet??!! (But perhaps there was one leading to the delicious pile of fabulous books : ) This is such a wonderful and needed emphasis–AGELESS style, love ETC. I have just read about Iris Apfel being signed to a modeling contract at 97… and Elon Musk’s mother is a Cover Girl model at 70… there is an an agent out there waiting to discover YOU: the freshman of the senior class 🙂 You never cease to amaze with a raincoat that folds up to a handkerchief (and can double as a witch’s costume on a moment’s notice), a table that fits into a handbag (for those endless and table-less airport waits), xmas tree bling draped around your neck (who needs a tree?), and too many ETC’s to count. HOLLYWOOD needs your star in its tiara…XO
LA CONTESSA says
LOVED THIS!!
YOU DO HAVE A WAY WITH WORDS!!!!!
I COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH HOLLYWOOD!!!TOOK ME FOUR DAYS TO RE-COVER from my WEEKEND!
XOXO
Heidi says
Hi Elizabeth! What fun this must have been, thank you for sharing your special and exciting evening with us! I believe you outshined all the others with your very elegant and sophisticated twist in evening dress and pearls, pearls, pearls! FABULOUS, no kidding. I would have felt like a little church mouse with nothing to wear at an event like this, even though I love to look nice and try to put myself together in a reasonably pleasing and creative way, I don’t really have anything in my wardrobe that screams “oh my gosh you look amazing”, the way you do, always! AND- Scarlett Johansson is BIG STUFF, and there you are with your arm around her, oh my! What a night!
So glad I got to read all about it!
Xo Heidi
LA CONTESSA says
VINTAGE VELVET jacket came from my shop days!!IT Helps when YOU have a SUPPLY Of OLD VELVET!!!!!I had to make a CALL to my SEAMSTRESS LADY as The lining was FALLING OUT and I could not SHOW UP LIKE THAT!Of course that SKIRT took up half my suitcase!I had TO CHECK MY LUGGAGE!!!!!!There was NO OTHER WAY!!!!!
HUGS TO YOU!

I love that you’re wearing a crisp white blouse!! They are indispensable. A girlfriend of mine once asked me why I had so many white blouses in my closet? She doesn’t get it… Actually I’m not sure I’ve ever seen her wear one. Thanks for sharing your wonderful evening! You looked smashing Contessa! xoxo, Brenda
LA CONTESSA says
BACI BACK AT YOU!

Mithra Ballesteros says
Adore the pic of you and Ari AND you and Scarlett. I shall run out and purchase Ari’s book ASAP. But don’t I recall a photo shoot at your home recently?? Are you in an upcoming edition? Of the ‘freshmen’ so to speak?!
In any case, you’ve got enough style to share with the rest of us schlubs who don all black and feel self conscious if we wear two necklaces. Brava!
LA CONTESSA says
LET’S START WITH THE BANGLES……….CAN YOU DO THAT?ADD THREE TO ONE WRIST!!!!!!
I DONOT THINK THERE IS ANOTHER BOOK IN THE WORKS FOR ARI………….BUT WHAT DO I KNOW!!!
THERE WAS A PHOTO SHOOT OF ME AND THE PIGGY, WHICH MY GRAND DOGS KEPT PHOTO BOMBING!!!
A GOOD DAY HAD BY ALL!!!!
LOVED THE COMMENT ABOUT ME BEING “THE FRESHMAN!”

What a fun party! Scarlett Johansson is a wonderful actress ~ she’s very athletic and played in the Avengers movies, and recently was in a manga/Japanese style film as a woman whose brain was transplanted into a robot-type body. Very interesting film!

Our favorite Contessa mingling with the stars … ou la la! Miss Johansson certainly was nominated for an Oscar, I think . . . but never mind, she was thrilled to meet YOU! And, you looked stunning . . . the jewels! I cannot wait to read about the rest of the weekend … how could it get better than this?! xo
Nancy Case says
How glamorous and lively! You look so Hollywood, fit right in! Thank you for sharing all of your fun with such sparkly people!
