Platinum Luxury Mom

Last week I had the pleasure of hanging out for a brief but blissful couple of hours in Beverly Hills at the Platinum Luxury Suites. I have to say, this posh and exclusive suite in honor of the MTV movie awards really delivered the goodies! They had me at hello with Xocai (guilt free, healthy lo-cal chocolate) and Elixer Health Tonics. And the buzz just got better as I made my way through the star studded crowd.

Although this was not a specifically baby/mommy centered event, there were plenty of moms there - including megabucks mommy-with-style, Kathy Hilton. Kathy sat down in the Mattel Barbie suite to have a tea party with Dancing with the Star's Stacey Kiebler. Who wouldn't want to play Barbies with Paris'Mom?! I just want to know which blond got to be Barbie. My money's on Kathy. But it was Stacy that everyone wanted to see trying out the DDR "Dance Dance Revolution" Game pads. They work with Xbox and Playstation platforms to get you off the couch and trying out some new moves. Which is a good thing and not likely a problem for Stacey!

Outside on the patio, Kristian Alfonso (Days of our Lives), , and Amber Reese (The OC), got "Solective" with sunscreen and Bronzing products from Nature's Gate. Celebs also scored high tech Dr. approved skincare products from Procyte. Back at Mattel, Lacy Chabert checked out the Barbie Teen Diaries (one can only imagine what her Mean Girls character would have to say about that) and Jose Canseco's daughter Josie loaded up on the Barbie Mermaidia DVD and toys.

Michele Rodriguez (Lost), fresh out of time-out, er...jail, showed up too. She looked luminous and demonstrated her softer more charitable side, signing a Vespa and a Hummer Laptop to be auctioned off to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation . Other signees included Shannon Elizabeth, Ludacris, Nick Cannon, Corey Feldman, Wayne Brady and Desperate Housewives' Shawn Pyfrom (Bree's Son) - who is a cutie in person, far less evil than his character.

Also in attendance was new daddy Kevin Dillon (Entourage). Lets hope he picked up some of the great goodies for his wife. Like funky denim couture from Henry III, and the Pocket Surfer from Edgetech, so she can go online anytime, anywhere and connect with other new moms on great sites like www.mommieswithstyle.com and www.celebrity-babies.com

By the end of the day I was coming down off my tonic and chocolate high but had to go back out to the patio to check out the products that were generating the most buzz and more than a few giggles. What else but Kama Sutra? They passed out everything from mint massage oil to chocolate paint. Their weekender kit is a great reminder to lovers everywhere that there is more to making love than making babies! 'Nuff said.
