Party-goers at the 2009 Red Carpet Party
I’m fairly certain I’ll never win an Academy Award. The closest I ever came to acting was when my daughter had the lead in the 8th-grade play and I helped her learn her lines. Which started a series of nightmares where I was in a play and didn’t know my lines, replacing the nightmares where I go out in public naked or only wearing a towel, so I guess that was an improvement.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t walk down the Red Carpet during for the Oscars. And so can you at Atlanta’s only Official Oscar Party. This annual event is at The Cobb Energy Centre is March 7 at 7:30 PM. All proceeds go to The Center for Family Resources, which helps low-income families. But the tickets are cheap, cheap, cheap!
They are only $25, which includes a drink, appetizers and dessert. But there’s more: in addition to watching a telecast of the awards ceremony, there will be fortune telling, silent auction, a raffle for a swag bag, caricature artist, DJ and dance floor and performances from actors at Dad’s Garage, who will play the role of paparazzi. Come on – you know you’ve been practicing your hand-on-one-hip, one-foot-forward half-smile stance in the mirror. Now is your chance to use it.
So join me as I grab a pretty party dress, my new long velvet coat I bought at the Good Will on Roswell Road and duct tape to manufacture some cleavage. Get your tickets at www.atlantaredcarpet.com. And go practice that smile.
