Oscar Night in Boston!

I had such a great time with my stylist and date, Neil Gannon at the Oscar Night held at the Mandarin Oriental in Boston to support the Ellie Fund!
I felt like I was 16 again getting ready to go to the prom, except this time I had an exceptional team helping me get ready instead of me attempting to throw a couple bobby pins in my hair and apply hot pink lipstick (hey, it matched my hot pink gown at the time!).  The lovely Rita Sorrentino of Channel did my make up, Neil styled my hair (and somehow creatively infused a decoration into it!) and I wore a gorgeous turquoise gown from Newbury 211. Here is where I’m supposed to say you can go to Newbury 211 and buy it, but I secretly want to buy it for myself so we’ll have to race to the store ;)
We stepped out onto the red carpet and immediately felt glamorous and giddy all in the same breath. I met some wonderful people and ran into a few people I already knew! I ran into one of my judges who crowned me Miss Massachusetts USA, Executive Chef Jason Santos. He keeps insisting that I come to his restaurant (Gargoyle’s) so if you’re reading this Jason, I’m holding you to it J.
I met Melissa McMeekin, Erica McDermott and Mickey O’Keefe from The Fighter,  Chris Lambton from the Bachelorette, and Jonathan Soroff from the Improper Bostonian! Wonderful night, as you can see from the photos!!
