Monkeys in Pants Takes on the Emmys!
The Emmy awards were last week–well you already know that. But maybe you didn’t know about all the events here in LA before the show. More than just jewelry suites or dinners for celebrities, there are suites or party-like events that bring together product lines, celebrities and the media in hotels and private homes.
"Monkeys In Pants Red Cross Relief Fund Award Suites" at the Beverly Hilton raised money for the American Red Cross hurricane relief efforts via celebrity poker, silent auctions and donations. Beth Beasley and Kim Shimmel put together a fund-raising event for Hurricane Katrina relief with poker parties winnings and donations from both corporate sponsors, product participants and attendees. Each evening poker parties filled the courtyard and every day, people filtered through the suites of great products like MOP Haircare (and other product lines that offered manicures, blowouts and pedicures),
Kinerase Skincare ( introducing new products like under eye and lip treatment and antioxidant spray)
Foot Solution Shoes ( and new lines like Chung Shi and some new women’s shoes too)
Jelessy Jeans with an amazing assortment of tops, jeans, jackets some with gorgeous embroidery,
Red Bull and Fiji Water, and a gorgeous suite of jewelry from the Colored Gems Society that had an amazing, jaw-dropping array of gems in all colors and sizes.
Pokertropolis donated $150,000 in poker credit cards to the celebrity gift bags for the suites.
Celebrities were pampered and tested new clothing lines, beauty products, and gadgets, and then played poker to raise one million dollars for the Monkeys In Pants Red Cross Relief Fund.
AOL taped the games and aired them online.. Celebs were requested to make a $1000 buy-in at the tables. At the request of Monkeys in Pants, millions of AOL customer pitched in to the fund.
Celebs like Phoebe Price, Ashley Peldon, Amy Bruckner, Beth Stolarczyk, Julia Verdin, Maria Conchita Alonso, Terry O’Quinn were just a few of the celebrities attending these suites.
