If you were looking for one of the hot, haute parties for celebrities before the Emmys, you would definitely want to cruise the Fig & Olive on Melrose Place– the location for the Ninth Annual Bergman’s Style Lounge and party. This party starts early and lasts ALL DAY! This celebration in honor of the then upcoming 70th Annual Emmy® Awards. People wait to find out when Bergman’s invitation-only event is scheduled and they pencil it in their calendars ASAP.
Over 100 of Hollywood’s finest turned out to celebrate and honor the television industry’s Emmy® Nominated actors, former Emmy® winners, presenters, stylists and industry VIPS.
This fun event was hosted by Green Horizen and presented by Precious Vodka was offering a buffet lunch along with “passed” appetizers from Fig & Olive! Guests have a tough choice to make when deciding to hit the buffet first or hit the Style Lounge first!
My personal choice is always to hit the Style Lounge first because I forget all about food when talking to the various brands and sponsors! For those lucky enough to get an invitation, they will find an incredible array of fashion for him and her including couture gowns, bespoke tuxedos & suits, men’s grooming products, the finest in beauty, skin & hair care, stunning jewelry collections, gorgeous accessories, fashion-forward luggage, Napa Valley wines, premium luxury coffee, innovative teeth whitening, chic chapeaus, fabulous fragrance, everything for the pampered baby, gourmet cuisine, unique spirits, delectable sweets and much more!

Giving Back!!
Patrika Darbo signs the Wednesday’s Child sign!
In the spirit of giving back, guests & sponsors made monetary donations and/or donated unwrapped gifts for young adults (ages 13-18) for a Pre-Holiday Gift Drive benefiting ‘Wednesday’s Child’ — a weekly segment airing on KTTV FOX 11 News, Los Angeles, with Anchor Christine Devine. ‘
Christine Devine and her guest, Devin!
‘Wednesday’s Child’ highlights ‘harder to place’ young adults in the LA County foster care system who are in need of adoptive families.
“In Los Angeles County, alone, there are over 30,000 children receiving child welfare services,” says social worker, Dr. William Wong.
Kelsey Scott signs the Wednesday’s Child sign!
Bergman always invites at least 2 foster children to join in on the festivities and experience what it feels like to be treated as a VIP.
