Karen Salkin's Out To Lunch

JANUARY 2008 GIFTING SUITES

Because of all my recently-begun writing endeavors (People.com, Culver City News, and Blue Pacific News), I found time for only 3 gifting lounges for this month’s Golden Globes and SAG Awards. But I made the most of my time at them, and have several interesting finds to pass on to you. First up was the Globes. At these events, one can get so carried away with “trick-or-treating-for swag” that we lose focus of what we’re there to celebrate. But Mona Hogan of L&M Table Creations gave us wine glasses that she had beautifully hand-painted with the masks of comedy and drama in honor of the SAG Awards. I love mine.

My mouth watered when I saw one table with miniature toy dogs and a dollhouse for them. I thought it was just a display for pet jewelry, but it’s really the latest in the doll/something-inanimate-to-take-care-of category. I think it’s for kids, but I wanted them all!

When given my choice, I, of course, picked a white toy poodle, who looks just like my precious Clarence, The Singing Dog, who’s the co-star of my TV show. Turns out, that’s the back-story of my new stuffed-one as well! Coincidence, or has someone been watching my show? Either way, Clarence and I are thrilled to welcome this little one into our fam. www.pawparazzi.com
