Beauty & Politics

Do beauty and politics mix? If you take a glance at France where president Nicolas Sarkozy stunned the world when he wed ex super model and singer Carla Bruni in February 2008 it seems that the ‘B’ and the ‘P’ are compatible. Here in Beverly Hills it’s a bit different. But nevertheless I had a ‘when beauty meets politics’ kinda experience the other day. Maybe not on a so glamorous scale as ‘Le French almost royals’, but still.

When I’m feeling in the dumps and in desperate need of a quick pick-me-up fix I don’t go to the gym, which I probably should (damn it’s been almost 2 months with no gym.. and it shows…) But no, I go and pay my favorite Beverly Hills spa called SPA 415 a visit. Here I’m introduced to something called a ‘photo facial’. I don’t know exactly what it is, but it doesn’t hurt and it works. The skin looks so much better and plumber after one of her treatments. The owner of the spa, Liza is a genius when it comes to ‘pick-me-up’ sessions. (oh and PS – last time I was there ‘Lily from ‘Gossip Girl ‘AKA Kelly Rutherford was there and she looks stunning in real life. XOXO)

So the other day Liza had an event where she invited a bunch of ladies who are all deeply involved in Politics and who are supporting Meg Whitman in her campaign to be the new Governor in California. And when I say ladies, I mean ladies. Usually I work with and hang out with film, fashion people and artists. This was different and very inspiring to discover very well educated women living in the big ‘90210’, who like to discuss everything from international politics, immigration politics to Finish literature.

Apparently Meg Whitman used to be CEO of EBay and Time ranked her among the world’s most influential people as well as Fortune ranked her the most powerful woman in business in 2004 and 2005.

Here are a couple of shots from the event.
