It's not all puppy dogs and sunrises here in Malibu, despite what the decidedly skewed content of my little blog may say. We've got upstanding citizens doing good works and they need our help.
Ten days from now - see, plenty of time to make plans to be there, to bring a bunch of friends - we've got a tea party/beauty fest to be held at the gorgeous Malibu ranch owned by Dr. Frank Ryan, Bev Hills plastic surgeon extraordinaire.
Seriously - good food, great beauty products, lots of freebies and a chance to sneak a peek into a local celeb's medicine chest. Who wouldn't pony up the $40 to get in? And here's the kicker - it's all for charity! A good deed! Cure in the Canyons it's called, a breast cancer fund raiser. Kind of a prequel to Los Angeles Take-a-Hike.
OK, grab a pen - the details:
Things kick off at 11 a.m. on Sept. 22 at the Bony Pony Ranch. Celeb co-chairs are Shannon Tweed and her daughter, Sophie. Co-hosts are CCH Pounder and Catherine Dent (“The Shield”), Lorraine Toussaint, co-star of “Saving Grace” (now seen on TNT) and, of course, Dr. Frank Ryan.
Info and tickets at the web site: Cure in the Canyons.
Bony Pony Ranch is located at 12555 Yerba Buena Road, Malibu, CA 90265. (Incentives offered for car pooling,)
