So what did happen in the notorious Penthouse 64 you ask?
Last night The A List and LFB Media Group hosted the sunglass brand Carrera's Escape party up at the Chateau to promote their shades. We saw a lot of friends, celebs, beautiful skyline and got some pretty cool t-shirts made. Went down stairs for dinner around 9pm where we were waited upon by a Chateau waiter who was fully obsessive compulsive and actually came by to "straighten" my silver wear at one point and bullied us into all ordering the same beverage. Then when the bill came he asked us if we wanted him to put it on three different checks. We said it was fine and we would just split it - he then brought 3 checks with the entire meal including gratuity split three ways. The bill literally read 1/3 shrimp cocktail - $5.44, 1/3 salad chicken added - $4.83, 1/3 gratuity included 15% - $11.87. Weird! I have never seen anything like that! Have you??
Then the MOST interesting thing happened! Ladies exiting the ladies room were slipping a bit more than usually on that one patch where the wood meets the foyer tiles ... after about the 5th girl ate it in front of our table, we investigated the situation ourselves and found the spot to be particularly slippery and suggested to one of the staff that they throw a towel or some flour on the spot. He laughed and said "no no we keep it that way on purpose hoping to get a show!!" Huh? Is it possible the Chateau would risk the hundreds of potential lawsuits out of boredom at their jobs? If there was a hotel who dare (and who could probably get away with it) its the Chateau!
Upstairs at the party, tight quarters were packed with Carrera gift bags, Alternative apparel silk screening, Cover Girl touch up rooms, the tattooed chef working away in the service sized kitchen of the penthouse - locally known as room 64 - and lots of party goers.

*Oh yeah - and that guy who walks around Sunset dressed like Jesus (beard, gladiators, tassels and all) who is semi-violent ... he was walking around on Sunset in front of the hotel - not actually at the party lol. He's becoming more famous than the Beverly hills roller skater or Harry Perry - the turban wearing guitar skater in venice.
