I’m relaxing in my room at the Montage Beverly Hills after enjoying a nice walk down Rodeo Drive with Jamie from Blonde Mom Blog.  Why am I here you ask?  Well, I was chosen by Honda to present one of this year’s Power of Women honoree’s with keys to a 2011 Honda Odyssey at the Variety Power of Women luncheon here in Beverly Hills tomorrow.
Yes, I’m nervous, but I’ll be OK.. right?  I’m assuming you said “right Alicia”.  Thank you. 🙂

About the Variety Power of Women event:

Variety hosts our exclusive event celebrating the Power of Women and their impact on philanthropic and charitable causes. Variety honors a select group of women in entertainment who, through their efforts, have made a significant difference to their chosen causes. 400 invite-only guests made up of Hollywood insiders and A-list talent come to celebrate, support and pay tribute to the philanthropic efforts of these amazing women. Variety’s philanthropy bizarre provides an interactive area for guests to engage with the participating brand sponsors and the featured charities. The goal of Variety’s Power of Women is to inspire and encourage people from all walks of life to get involved, give back and make a difference.
