Lyon Jewelry's New 
Collection Launch

BeansTalk Special Correspondent

Recently, LYON fine jewelry celebrated the launch of their 2012 Collection and Lauren Russell’s Equality Bracelet with recording artists, TV personalities and entertainment industry executives at Freak Chic and Tuff Sissy in West Hollywood.

When first walking into Tuff Sissy you hear the 80’s dance beats by Becka Diamond flooding the room. Then you notice the abstract and colorful art that lines the walls giving the party a personality of it’s own, which mimics the personality of LYON Fine Jewelry’s new innovative collection.

LYON Fine Jewelry’s 2012 collection features simple yet cutting edge pieces that are influenced by CEO Lauren Russell’s everyday life.

“My inspiration really comes from stuff I wear, leather jackets, boots, any sort of clothing item that I feel like needs that extra oomph,” Russell said. “And really making something that’s wearable but super edgy.”

The 2012 collection also includes four different Equality Bracelets, which two models flaunted at the party.

 The Equality Bracelets team up with the organization Friendfactor by giving 20% of the bracelet’s proceeds to help stop the inequalities that gay people face in employment, housing and marriage.  The bracelets are each named after a city that has been crucial in the gay rights movement.

“I like the whole idea behind them [Friendfactor] because it’s straight people helping out their gay friends and I think that speaks volumes rather than a gay person fighting for gay rights,” Russell said. “It’s more of a statement.”

Celebrities such as Adam Lambert, Jason Mraz, Allison Janney, Sarah Michelle Gellar and many more have been seen sporting the Equality Bracelets.

While walking around Tuff Sissy guests were offered custom cocktails by DAMA Tequila, refreshments by Smart Water, energy drinks by Vuka, “Equality Cake Pops” by Cake Pops LA, gourmet chocolates by Bootleg Chocolates and snacks courtesy of Sabra grab n go Hummus and Popchips.

Guests were also provided with mini-makeovers by the Sue Devitt beauty team to glamorize and spice up their normal look for the evening. Guests were then able to check out their new appearance in the Vanity Girl Hollywood’s custom black vanity mirror. Cecilia Zuniga and Jamie Ozimek, guests at the party, said that their favorite part of the event were the makeovers.

When walking into the adjoining store Freak Chic the mood, oddly enough, becomes a bit more relaxed as people spend their time getting piercings and tattoos from renowned tattoo artists.

Russell, Mollie Thomas (the first openly gay woman to run for the Miss California crown) and others showed their support for the Equality movement by getting equal sign tattoos at Freak Chic during the party.

 “I want to be inspirational,” Jonathan-Matthew Najm, one of the many to show his support by getting an Equality tattoo at the party said. “I want everyone to respect love.”

Special to BeansTalk

Reporter Flores at Alive! Expo Green Pavilion

The Alive! Expo Green Pavilion held its Oscar’s gifting suite, sponsored by Fortune Angels, to benefit the non-profit organization Project Green. The gifting took place at the Peterson Automotive Museum Penthouse Oscar weekend with live entertainment, eco-education and eco-friendly goodies.

One of the founders and part owner of Alive! Expo Green and Project Green talked to BeansTalk about their non-profit organization. “We have been doing these events with our for-profit which is our Alive! Expo Green Pavilion and we converted the event so that all the benefits can go towards Project Green and we can launch our summer camp.”

The eco-conscious event kicked off with the young tween rock band: Lockdown.  And live music continued through out the event with performances by: Coin, Jason Walker, Tessa Barton, Victoria Rowe & The Jazz, Armada, Kerri Anne, Jon Taylor, Christopher Hawley and Major Crooner.

A variety of sponsors were at the gifting; from beauty products to organic doggie treats. Beauty products were provided by Pixi Beauty (www.pixibeauty.com), Ferro Cosmetics (www.ferrocosmetics.com), and Glitzy Lips, seen above (www.glitzylips.com) who caught everyone’s attention with eye-popping foil lipstick that has been rocked by celebrity Katy Perry. Taste buds were also satisfied with tasty cupcakes from Birdie’s Bakery (www.monamievents.com) and refreshing vegan ice cream from Divine Dips (www.divinedipsicecreme.com).

            Janna Phillips (seen above), creator of “Bohmod” eco-friendly furniture, decorated the fun and modern lounge with pieces made out of foam. Janna defines her style as regenerating, “I try to utilize whatever I can find so that the end result and the process you used to make it has less of an impact to landfill and foam will eventually disintegrate to nothing.” www.bohmod.com

Attendees of the 84th Annual Academy Awards had two responsibilities: wear something fabulous and pair it with exquisite jewelry.

Style Lab’s Jewelry Suite exclusive jewelry preview was held in Beverly Hills at an undisclosed location. The preview featured jewelry from the Rio Tinto Global Design Competition, the AGTA collection, Rayaz Takat, Tanzanite King, Marco Mavilla and more.

At the preview celebrities and stylists took turns speaking with Michael O’ Connor, an expert on jewelry and style.

 “There seems to be a lot of people going to be wearing black on the red carpet, which is actually fabulous for a number of reasons, because sometimes when it’s a very simple black, you could pop it up with some color,” he said, “or you can just stay along the monochromes.”

When it comes to monochrome jewelry to pair with black and gray dresses O’Connor told BeanStalk that blackened metals will be common on the red carpet.

Baggins designed a pair of earrings where the diamonds are set into the black rhodium in a hoop style with a pearl on the inside of the hoop for the AGTA collection. O’Connor said this look works well with black dresses and vintage gowns.

Black, white, and gray are the main colors expected to be present on the red carpet, but O’ Connor said there will still be some color.

He said that since many attendees are going to be wearing gray that he has been partnering their dresses with a lot of blue and green jewelry.

Designer Rayaz Takat had half of his collection at the preview, which featured many large blue and green gemstone earrings that O’Connor thinks will go well with the dress trends he has been seeing.

O’Connor has also been noticing a number of white, gold and silver combinations as well.

“I’ve seen a lot of people… who have sent me their dresses and are doing an interesting kind of yellow and white combination, or gold and white, or gold and silver,” he said.

Stylist Lindsey Dupuis was there to find accessories for Ashley Tisdale to wear at Elton John’s Oscar Party. She felt the opposite of O’ Connor, saying that color blocking and bright colors are the current trends. Tisdale’s style will be a “sleek look, modern, simple, and sexy,” said Dupuis.

Octavia Spencer, nominated for best supporting actress for her role in The Help, is one celebrity O’ Connor would like to style. He said he tweeted about it the other day saying that Spencer would be his ideal person to dress for the Academy Awards.

O’Connor thinks that Somewhere in the Rainbow’s necklace and earrings combo for the AGTA collection would look great on Spencer.  The combo features pink and blue spinel gemstones, which took seven years to gather, and is worth $1.5 mil.

"I am a Midwest boy, born and raised with Midwest values,” adds REO Speedwagon singer/guitarist Kevin Cronin.  “In the Midwest we work hard, play hard, and rock hard.  I am proud to join my brothers in STYX and Ted Nugent to celebrate Midwest rock 'n roll and represent the greatest rock fans in the world.  I am ready to climb aboard the ‘Midwest Rock 'n Roll Express!’  Rock On baby!"

STYX singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw says, “It's gonna be a Twang Fest of screaming guitars and big, sing-along choruses that continue to be the soundtrack for the misbehavior of our collective fan base.  In other words, a real good time.”

Ted Nugent: “The heart and soul of American R&B&R&R has always gushed forth from the heartland of America.  REO, STYX and The Nuge have always celebrated the power of our special music and on the mighty ‘Midwest Rock ‘n Roll Express,’ the energy, attitude and spirit is more intense than ever.  This is the soundtrack for the hardcore.”
