My Bragging Rights...

Tonight we went to a party in honor of Nate (and 18 other people). Orange Coast magazine did a spread in their August issue called OC Look. I wasn't sure what this entailed, until I read their article. As Orange Coast put it: "Each advisory board member was challenged with nominating people who possessed a certain je ne sais quoi and made a statement about who they are by the way they dress. After evaluating hundreds of well deserving nominees, 19 premier individuals made the cut." As you can see, Nate was one of the 19. He doesn't even know the person who nominated him, but he was surprised (to say the least) and honored nonetheless. Nate went in for a photo shoot about a month ago and had to fill out a questionnaire about himself and his style. I couldn't wait to see the picture and what Nate wrote (he told me I had to wait to read it). We received our invitation via email and to our surprise, Nate's face was on it! Also, his picture ended up being on the "Event Guide"

and on the front page of the insert, inside the magazine

This is the picture they used with all his info, calling him the "Style Dweller."

The party was interesting, mostly a bunch of yuppies with their Prada shoes, Gucci shirts and Marc Jacobs handbags, but it made for some great people watching. I was by far the biggest person in the room (of course this party had to be when I am 8 mos pregnant) and Nate met some good contacts; so I guess it was worth all the hub bub.

Of course, we had to try our luck on a charity raffle for LASIK surgery, which I desperately need, and lost (6 tickets for $125!) At least it went to a good cause. I really thought we had a chance, but I haven't EVER won anything - who was I kidding :)

All in all, it was a great experience and kind of fun to be part of the "OC Scene." One night was enough, though. Congrats to my stylish, hot husband!
