Diane Loves Magic!!!! This past week I had the pleasure of attending the bi annual Magic/ Project Tradeshow, which was held August 17-19th in Las Vegas, Nevada! Let me first start off by saying that The Hotel at Mandalay Bay, proved to be a dream come true and the rooms were absolutely fabulous! The purpose of the shows is to give vendors/showrooms of clothing and accessory lines a chance to display and sell their upcoming seasons to retailers from around the world! Imagine rows upon rows of shoes, bags, clothing, and sparkling jewelry at a variety of price points and styles! We ended up walking what felt like miles to see all the different booths and took a few water and meal breaks before trekking on to the next show. Some of the major trends that I noticed were FEATHERS, SPARKLING SEQUINS, FUR (REAL and FAUX), JEGGINGS, AND LEATHER!!! Which are all my favorite things!!! I was even fortunate enough to get interviewed, by the lovely Alison Nieder, Executive Editor of California Apparel News! Click on the link to view the article http://www.apparelnews.net/ I also want to leave a comment about my dear friend, Karen Levy, who coordinates the entire event… She was a gracious and fabulous host who made sure to take care of her guest’s every need and desire! Now that I am back in town, I will be going to some of the showrooms who featured at MAGIC to place orders for the Spring!!! To all my fabulous readers, please come by and visit us soon! Now, off to watch the Emmys! Hurray for MAD MEN!!! XOXO, DM
It was a week ago I first went down to SOVA's Metro Pantry, located just a few doors down from the store on Beverly Blvd. I have been very fortunate in my life and have been on the lookout for a place I could give a few hours of my time to give back to the community. SOVA seemed perfect, not just for the convenient location but because it's a Jewish organization that provides groceries for people in need, Jewish or not, and that very much resonates with me.

Beit T’Shuvah is an excellent organization that Diane Merrick proudly supports. For more than 24 years, the West Hollywood-based residential treatment center and a full-service congregation has been offering outreach to the entire community including prevention programs, family and alumni counseling and support, court advocacy and professional training. Beit T’Shuvah integrates mind, body and spirit in a holistic and organic approach to recovery and life. This event was a fundraiser, but the main goal was to raise awareness for Beit T'Shuva and its programs.
It was a fabulous evening at the Beverly Hilton where guests were treated to hot dogs, hamburgers, French fries and Haagen-Dazs ice cream while listening to hip music and watching a few short boxing matches. Boxing great Sugar Ray Leonard and Frank Stallone were on hand to honor renowned boxing coaches Emmanuel Stevens and Freddie Roach. The main event was a boxing match between Tom "The Hebrew Hammer" Arnold and Beit T'Shuva Rabbi Mark "The Holy Thief" Borovitz. Arnold had his sweat wiped by "Parenthood" actor Dax Shephard and emerged as the evening's champion to grand applause.
Event chair of this fabulous evening was none other than our own Roger Simon. Thank you, Roger for a great night!
