USA: Celebrities get primped before the Emmys TV awards

Celebrities indulge in all things beauty, fashion, chocolate, travel, and Botox for the Emmy Awards -- television's biggest night. Celebrity gift giving was full speed ahead in Los Angeles, California, in the days leading up to the Emmy awards Sunday, (September 16) as both men and women indulged in all things beauty, luxury, and charity. Actress Sally Pressman, who stars in "Army Wives," gets ready for her first big award season and is dressed by designer Verrier in her recently debuted Spring 2008 collection. Before she hits the red carpet, Pressman indulges in Dove chocolate as she tries on diamonds by Kwiat to be worn on the big night. Dove Chocolate and fashion designer, Verrier, collaborated on an exclusive brown silk bag that will be gifted to celebrities. "I know that Verrier is big on the details I just have to point out I love this Crystal and the platinum lace I think the color and the shape and everything is just so beautiful and they are very important to making this dress what it is so they are great," Pressman said. Male Emmy nominees were not left out of the fun. Lab Series Skincare For Men, a skin care collection, designed a line and suite exclusively for men and select Emmy nominees. The spa includes a variety of services and treatments for select nominees such as Lab Series facials, shaves, reflexology, massages, and Botox injections in the face/ armpit and/or palms to curb perspiration. William Shatner and Neil Patrick Harris were some of the celebs who stopped into the suite to indulge. A "gifting suite" is rooms stocked with designer purses, clothing, jewelry, sunglasses and other freebies for celebs to snap up. Suites also have staff beauty pros on hand to primp, powder or pedicure famous folks, free of charge, of course. GBK Productions hosts the most luxurious Emmy gift suite with over 100,000 dollars (USD) in Gifts, Travel Packages and Beauty Treatments. Celebrities who visit the suite will also have the opportunity to go home with GBK's exclusive gift bag filled with the newest tech gadgets, health procedures, fashion accessories, and spa products on the market. Including Lasik eye surgery, a $10,000 certificate to Renaissance Health Centers; lingerie from Alien and a $20,000 gift certificate to Iron Horse Trice Works towards the building of a custom motor bike, a week long spa vacation for a pet from Aunt B's Pet Resort; a GPS Navigation System; Maya Hand, George Foreman Grills, a $1,000 gift certificate for wrinkle cream from 3 Lab, a Mexican vacation and stay in Ault Resorts' Presidential Suite; and $4,000 worth of private chartered "fly time" from Bombardier Sky Jet. With all the rich getting richer there are some that could actually use the help and do indeed actually benefit from all of this 'swag' giving. At this year's suite, GBK Productions will donate 20 percent of its proceeds to four charities: The Humane Society of the United States, Clothes Off Our Back, 6 Degrees, and the Harbor Foundation. Additionally, each charity will be able to auction off a complete GBK celebrity gift bag, valued at over $100,000, and the unique opportunity to connect with various celebrities walking thru. All the free services, glamour, jewels, dresses, and makeovers can be spotted when the stars hit the red carpet on Sunday at the 59th Annual Prime-time Emmy Awards.
