We headed to Soho House for the OneKid OneWorld fundraising event. This is a great organization that gives children in impoverished communities an education and a better quality of life. Since 2005, OneKid OneWorld has directly helped over 1,000 children, built 6 new classrooms, paid for hundreds of kids to go to school, and bought textbooks, bunk-beds, school supplies and fresh water for students in need.
We were able to see pictures and videos of some of the children that OneKid OneWorld has helped, and it was touching to hear their stories.
After the video was played Sherri Shepherd, hilarious talk show host of The View, walked past us and I couldn't help but tell her that I'm a fan. Sherri was so nice to us, and even took the time to ask our names and chat for a little bit. She was incredibly down to earth and so cool when we asked to get pictures with her. We had a good laugh about Kim Kardashian's booty-boosting moves on the show, and I gave Sherri one of my blog business cards in hopes that she reads the Red Carpet. Sherri, if you're reading this - you look fabulous!
After refilling our Prosecco, we spotted Mariska Hagirtay, best known for her role on Law and Order: SVU. Sarah was determined to meet Mariska, since Sarah once was an extra on the show. When she introduced herself to Mariska and told her they were on set together, the actress had a little glimmer of familiarity on her face - but maybe she was just being nice. Either way, props to Sarah.
With our new friend Andrew, with whom we share "common interests" we made our way to the silent auction table to see if we could give a little to get a little. Unfortunately, my budget doesn't allow me to purchase a Chanel planner, an African safari or a private cooking lesson with Bobby Flay.
But we did score the next best thing: dating advice from Mr. Flay himself.
We walked up to Bobby and Sarah started the throwdown. "Mr. Flay, I got dumped because I can't cook."
"No way, I don't believe you." Then Bobby turned to me for reassurance of Sarah's claim.
"Yes, Mr. Flay, it's the truth."
"That's ****ed up."
Bobby continued to tell us that we need to have five dishes that we can cook: two breakfasts, one brunch and two dinners. He recommended that Sarah buy The Joy of Cooking and that she also get a new boyfriend, or five for each of her meals. Done and done, Mr. Flay.
The party was wrapping up and we were starving, having been too busy chatting to eat the sliders and other yummy mini treats served at the party. Andrew took Sarah and I to Spice Market for a delicious seafood smorgasbord that would make The Little Mermaid cringe in her fins. Salmon tartare, crab dumplings, blackened shrimp and lobster were swimming in our bellies by the time we were walking back up 9th Avenue.
It's only the second day of June and the month has already proved epic, thanks to some hot topics discussed with Sherri Shepherd and to our very own throwdown with Bobby Flay.
