FATHER DAUGHTER DANCE AT GREYSTONE MANSION—In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, last Saturday Beverly Hills fathers and daughters enjoyed a fun evening dressed up in their finest for the Annual Father Daughter Sweetheart Dinner & Dance at the historic Greystone Mansion. Forty young ladies (grades 1st thru 5th) and their fathers were treated to a memorable evening complete with dancing, dining (catered by California Pizza Kitchen), DJ music, photo keepsakes and bracelet decorating stations. Corsages, boutonnieres, ruffles and bows graced this wonderful community event that celebrates the special bond between fathers and daughters. The event was organized by the Recreation & Parks Department. Another Father Daughter Dinner & Dance event is slated for March 11.

OSCAR GOLD–Master chef Wolfgang Puck, pictured yesterday inside the Ray Dolby Ballroom on the top level of the Hollywood & Highland Center, previews some of the delectable fare the 1,500 attendees at the Academy's Governors Ball will enjoy next Sunday evening, Feb. 26, following the the 89th Oscars at the Dolby Theatre. Academy Governor Jeffrey Kurland, event producer Cheryl Cecchetto and Wolfgang Puck are returning once again to create this year’s Governors Ball, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ official post-Oscar celebration. "The theme of this year’s Governors Ball is ‘magical transformation.’ As they enter the Ball, guests will transition from a dazzling sea of red to a tricolor motif of eye-popping gold and red on an infinite blanket of white," said Kurland. "The unique design of the space has been meticulously created to celebrate Oscar gold." Puck’s team created more than 50 imaginative dishes, from one-bite hors d’oeuvres to small-plate entrees, that will be passed throughout the evening. Photo by Richard Harbaugh
