CELEBRITIES AIR OUT THEIR LAUNDRY @ THE TIDE PARTY

Venus & Serena Williams double team the paparazzi @ The W Hotel 4 the Tide Plus Febreeze Sport party

Bartender at the Tide Plus Febreeze Sport partyVenus Williams hosted the Tide Plus Febreeze Sport party at the W Hotel last Saturday in Miami.

Solange Knowles, DJ Irie & Pete Wentz each DJ'ed a set ocean side, while guest partied on the tennis courts, played basketball, golfed and  tossed footballs around.  

Everyone had fun in the sun on their minds and all I could think about was the scene in Clueless when Amber says "Ms. Stoeger, my plastic surgeon doesn't want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose," and Dionne so kindly replies "Well, there goes your social life."

Speaking of social lives, I had dropped the ball and realized I was late for what was next on my agenda.

With one hand in my pocket and the other one was hailing a taxi cab...I was on my way.

Thanks to Blake & Monica from The A List for a great time.

SISTER ACT: ☆-ING, THE HILTONS & THE COLLIN SISTERS

Novelist-Jackie Collins, Designer-Nicky Hilton, Entrepreneur-Paris Hilton & Actress-Joan Collins @ the Hiltons Holiday party Dec. 2009

Tis the season...

Because that's exactly what NeverWood High did over the weekend at a holiday soiree hosted by the Hiltons at their private residence in Los Angeles.  The holidays are always a favorite time of year for me, they are filled with joy, laughter, celebration and eggnog with a splash of Brandy.  They always seem to bring everyone closer together, families, friends, co-workers, shoppers, children and dazzling sisters that turn the phrase "It Girls" into a powerful "Dynamic Duo".

Amongst the many characters who were in attendance, some dripped in diamonds, some from family dynasties and others just familiar faces of the glamorous Hollywood elite.Jackie & Joan Collins posing for a photo - Jan. 1, 1974

But, one of my choice moments of the evening was the magnetic pairing of not one sister combo but two!  

There have always been those memorable Sister Moments, when a world ruled by maleness was suddenly challenged by women who grew up together and then took on that world together.

This synchronization of appearance and action has always made sisterhood fascinating. Whether in life, in the media, in books, paintings or films, we've never gotten enough of sisterhood.

Some say the sister protocol came from Truman Capote and his writing of, "the Bouvier Conspiracy" which was the occasion of Jackie and Caroline Lee Bouvier whispering to each other in public.  Thus drawing attention away from topics like the Cold War and mesmerizing peoples minds via beauty, glamour and several spectacular marriages.

Our world is full of champion sisters (Venus and Serena Williams), stylish society sisters (Samantha, Victoria & Vanessa Traina), supermodel sisters (Frankie & Missy Rayder), achieving sisters (Kennedys galore), old-fashioned diva sisters (Joan and Jackie Collins), art sisters (Lola & Stella Schnabel), the British sisters (Fiona & Olympia Scarry), the twin sisters (Charlotte & Samantha Ronson), the mogul sisters (Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen) and the entrepreneur iconic heiresses (Paris & Nicky Hilton) and on and on.

Other notable sister acts include: Chyna & Bijou Phillips,  Ashley & Wynonna Judd, Janet & La Toya Jackson, Aly & AJ, Emily & Zooey Deschanel, Jessica & Ashley Simpson, Tia & Tamara, Dixie Chicks, Wilson Phillips, Hilary & Haylie Duff, Britney & Jamie Lynn Spears, Joely & Carrie Fisher, The Kardashians, Kim & Ruby Stewart, Georgia & Lizzy Jagger and the Double Mint Twins.

Happy Monday to all my sisters!
