Bonnie Carroll's Life Bites - Tinsletown Tidbits

After such a long absence it’s great to once again be in Beverly Hills to experience the excitement of the pre-EMMY award activity. The Beverly Wilshire BLVD was buzzing with excitement, Mr. C Hotel entrance was a mad scene, and Sunset Luxe is always an alluring entertainment destination.

It was a fast and quick run for this media lady, and quite wonderful to see so many friends and be greeted by the talented people who produce these magical EMMY events each year. Also, love seeing the nominees being gifted and having fun over some great food and cocktails in advance of the EMMY awards 2022 night.
