Host a Luncheon in Honor of

“MY WEEK WITH MARILYN”

And the Bender Sisters were there in the thick of it, surrounded by celebrities old and young enjoying the exceptional day and the beautiful Michelle Williams, star of “My Week With Marilyn”.

The film stars Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh and documents the brief period filmmaker Colin Clark spent with Marilyn Monroe during the filming of The Prince and the Showgirl in England during the late 1950s.

The luncheon at Cecconi’s West Hollywood was attended and honored by many of the founding members of The Actors Studio and those who shared the screen with Marilyn Monroe in her heyday.  What a crowd it was!  We had a blast and got to speak to so many of the guests who attended including Sean Young, who looked beautiful and got a big BSW thumbs up!

The sisters spent some face time with celebrity hair stylist, and the only woman they trust their locks to, Natasha Sunshine of Byu-ti Salon, Santa Monica, who also happened to put the amazing gift bag together.

What can we say about Michelle that hasn’t been said already.  She was the perfect celebrity guest, always smiling, happy to engage in conversation, and simply glowing from head to toe.  We enjoyed a fabulous lunch, mingled through the crowd some more, and dashed out just in time to make our next appointment.

Only in Hollywood folks!

Are you tired of saying, “This year I am going to finally…,” and then Do Not follow through?  Guess what?  You’re not alone!  Thousands of people have the same problem.  They start out each year optimistic, but soon find themselves losing motivation…Is this you?  Then I urge you to read Take The Lead, by Betsy Myers.

Learn how to motivate, inspire, and be the best you can be in life!

Myers is the executive Director of the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, one of the founders and former Director of the White House Office for Women during the Clinton administration, and COO of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.  Betsy Myers unveils the keys to effective leadership.  It offers a unique and practical set of seven principles that will guide you to your highest potential, and in doing so help the people around you to become inspired and motivated to collaborate with you to reach a common goal.  These principles pinpoint how some people are able to evoke feelings of passionate engagement in those around them, and how we can harness these keys to leadership success in our own lives.

These seven core principles are:

1.   Connection – Making people feel seen, heard and valued
2.   Collaboration – Being willing to embrace differing points of view
3.   Authenticity – Knowing who you are
4.   Respect – Treating each person as important
5.   Clarity – Laser focus and uncompromising consistency

If a smoky eye in inky black is too severe for you, why not try to create the look in a color. Mila Kunis got it right with a smoldering shade of plum at St. Jude’s 50th anniversary gala in Beverly Hills.  The look worked especially well with her deep purple lace dress.

Celebrity makeup pro Beth Bender says to get the look, start with a silvery layer of lavender dabbed along the top and bottom lashlines. Then top it off with the darker tone of shadow and a waterproof liner over the water line.

Try a smoky gray eye with a platinum dress or a matching navy eye and gown on your next big night.
