My LA life is coming to a close for now. One great Hollywood way to finish it off was at the BAFTA Emmy Tea party which is held the day before the Emmys to host the British noms. I went with my friend Brad. It was held on a lovely, sunny day at the Wattles Mansion in Hollywood. Beautiful grounds and loads of people. The food was pokes of Fish and Chips, Scotch Eggs, and lovely tea cakes. Too many WW points to count, but I was all in. I am on the TV Committee for BAFTA/LA so I got to have an official "I am someone" badge and escort the talent from the red carpet into the event. The best was when I had Elaine Stritch on my arm! She had just won the Emmy for Best Guest Star for her turn as Alex Baldwin's mom on "30 Roc." She had also just injured her foot and I told her my dad was a podiatrist. As if my father's speciality put her on surer footing with me! I also told her my friend Eric would spit blood when I told him I was with her! He paid the big bucks at the Carlyle and here I was having a chat arm in arm! Upon entering the manse she said "Where's a seat? When can I leave? Where's Holland Taylor." - 3 sentences I live by myself.
