			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Monday, we taught a Social Media Class to a group of Salon owners and managers called Salons With a Purpose or S.W.A.P.  Most of these salon owners were just starting to dip their toes into the Facebook &#038; Twitter world and needed some guidance as to how to make the most of it for their businesses.  Leanne and I were honored to be asked to present our ideas and suggestions to the group by our clients (and close friends), Charles David Salon and by Masello Salon Services.  It was a fun day at the beautiful Kirkbrae Country Club in Rhode Island.  Thanks to all who attended for listening to us and making us feel right at home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that we have been back from Hollywood for a few days, I thought I&#8217;d write a quick summary of our trip.  We had absolutely no plans other than the ICSC Maxi award ceremony on Thursday night.  It was a nice change since we are both busy moms where every single minute of the day is scheduled out.<br />
Tuesday -<br />
Leanne &#038; I arrived in style (a smelly cab/minivan) to our hotel for the first night, The W on the corner of Hollywood and Vine.  We spent the afternoon walking Hollywood Blvd, checking out the Walk of Fame &#038; buying cheap replica novelty Oscar statuettes.  We just missed Helen Mirren putting her lovely hands and feet in cement at Grauman&#8217;s.  Finally, it was Margarita time!  Leanne decided to ask the most natural person to ask for a recommendation for a great place to grab a great drink, the guard in front of the Scientology building.  He seemed very perplexed that we would accost him at all let alone ask him for watering hole suggestions.  Luckily, we were rescued by a sweet, young DJ that took us under his wing and delivered us to a fantastic Mexican restaurant where Leanne found a Jalapeno Margarita to her liking.  She likes things SPICY!!!  I like mine old school, ROCKS SALT!  For dinner, the concierge suggested Katsuya Japanese Restaurant where we had the most ORGASMIC sushi!  We had a rock shrimp sushi that was amazing and a Kobe beef app that was to die for.</p>
<p>Wednesday -<br />
We moved hotels to the Renaissance.  Our room had a clear view of the Kodak Theater and the filming of the new Wonder Woman tv show which Leanne would go and watch in the wee hours of the morning.  It was time to get more of our tourist on.  We spent the day at the WB studios tour and the night at a taping of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.  One of the audience wranglers was Chris Elwood from one of our favorite shows, Flipping Out.  The audience warm up comedian made fun of Leanne.  Matthew McConaughey was the guest.  It was a good time.  In the middle we went to the Farmer&#8217;s Market which was so cool but we didn&#8217;t have enough time to explore.  So instead, we ate a yummy Greek restaurant and you guessed it, had some cocktails!</p>
<p>Thursday -<br />
Lazy day laying by the pool where I had to hide in the shade because my Irish skin couldn&#8217;t handle the LA sun.  Don&#8217;t let my spray tan fool you!  On Thursday night, the event we had put our blood, sweat and tears into won a Maxi Silver award for Excellence in Cause Marketing.  We were the only winner in our category AND the only East Coast shopping mall to be honored.  Our clients from WS Development, Ellyne &#038; Carolyn treated us to dinner at a fun Italian restaurant afterwards to celebrate.  Here is the video of our Braveheart Awards event winning Maxi Silver.  </p>

<p>Friday -<br />
Found out it was snowing at home so our flight was delayed.  Leanne and I decided to go to our FAVORITE breakfast/coffee place TIAGO and get one last cappuchino when we stumbled upon Penelope Cruz&#8217;s Walk of Fame star ceremony.  Well, low and behold JOHNNY DEPP was there too!!!  Seeing Captain Jack Sparrow made the long flight to the East Coast a little more bearable.<a href="http://www.grmads.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/pandj.jpg"><img src="http://www.grmads.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/pandj-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="Penelope Cruz &amp; Johnny Depp" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-153" /></a></p>
