Today is the launch party for the promo job I was hired for. I had no idea how elegant it was going to be to promote espresso machines. They told us they wanted us to wear skirts and cute tops, but I had no idea they were going to provide the whole outfit including the heels.

They had us wear orange iridescent mini-skirts that were especially designed for us. They took the promotional T-shirts and cut those into funky little tops and gave us black leather heels from Aldo. The outfit was cute. And when I put on the heels, I thought I was really cute, until two hours later when I realized I was wearing shoes that were one size to small. I had four more hours to go. I wished for my feet to go numb.

In spite of this wardrobe malfunction, the party was amazing! There were top chefs from across the country that prepared the food, including a fourteen-year-old chef who’s had his own catering company since he was ten. He made cappuchino cotton candy for the party. The owner of Coffee Bean was there with his girlfriend and the host of Food and Wine magazine attended.

We found out while we there that George Clooney is a spokesmodel for the company. He wasn’t there, but hopefully next time. It was an amazing event! I was so happy to be a part of it. If you are looking for an amazing espresso machine, come see me in Santa Monica this coming weekend.
