Poolside at the Vanity Fair/Louis Vuitton luncheon
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
LOS ANGELES - You know you’re in L.A. when…
1) The stars actually deign to come out at a daylight hour- depending on how high-profile the occasion is. Apparently Vanity Fair’s annual Grammy weekend party - this year, with Louis Vuitton - qualified, as actress Taraji Henson, actor Larenz Tate, pop singer Nelly Furtado, BET and radio personality Big Tigger and Grammy-nominated R&B singer-songwriter Ne-Yo were all spotted around the pool at West Hollywood’s notorious hotel, Chateau Marmont.
And sitting underneath the prime, corner cabana was entertainment legend Quincy Jones. Next to him, Atlanta rapper-actor Ludacris (honored at Vanity Fair’s fete this time last year) and his new Disturbing Tha Peace artist, Steph Jones.
“I love to see Atlanta(ns) travel,” remarked Ludacris. “You can find us anywhere - poolside in L.A., on the pop charts, over in Africa, always with the southern hospitality baby!”
2) At the first entrance into the party - after your name has been checked off on the clipboard- you are given a handsome gold card with Vanity Fair and Louis Vuitton on it, only to hand it to a gentleman only steps away.
3) Stationed along the winding walkway towards the actual site of the party, there are several well-dressed and bulking men with those curling Secret Service cords in one ear.
4) Once you’ve finally arrived at the party itself, you notice there are as many high-heeled, half-naked women as there are men with wool jackets and ties and scarves wrapped around their neck. (Cough, cough - Ne-Yo). And it was a near scorcher around noon pacific coast time.
And 5) The loneliest person working is the woman behind the long table of breads and pastries. “Carbs just aren’t that popular here,” she remarked.
