Yesterday was another fun event day starting out with cocktails at Banderas; an upscale eatery in Brentwood with a cool bar vibe, live music, and amazing food. The big event of the evening was the 7 Deadly Sins Charity Event benefiting Operation Smile. For those that don’t know, Operation Smile treats children around the world suffering from cleft lips, cleft palates, and other facial deformities. To date they have helped more than 115,000 kids. The Hollywood Hills mansion had an amazing view of the city and was set up with each room featuring a different “sin”. Fire dancers and belly dancers performed through the night, as well as world class DJ’s. Local restaurants sponsored the event, and I tried an amazing Kobe beef slider from STK Steakhouse and a beef skewer from Farmer’s Daughter. After a stop in the hooka lounge, the dance floor and losing my (fake) $500 at craps and roulette, I called it a night. =)
