Vanity Fair is rolling out the magazine’s annual week-long cocktail fest leading up to the Oscars for the 13th season and doing all kinds of fun things online for the occasion with their newly launched site where they will present Social L.A.: “an online social retailing experience created in conjunction with Foursquare. Social L.A. will become the mobile destination guide on what to do, see, and experience in Los Angeles during awards season.” They also sponsored a contest to find a reporter to Tweet what’s happening from LA during “Campaign Hollywood”, with his/her tweets going live on their website all week. Co-sponsored by Chrysler and L’Oréal Paris, and just in time for the unveiling of the new Fiat 500 which will be on display along with the new Chrysler 300 outside The Roosevelt Hotel for the week, the hotel is being turned into a literal Vanity Fair hot spot with all 300 rooms featuring L’Oréal Paris and Stella Artois. The car above is clearly not the new model they are showing but being a vintage car (and car in general) fanatic I had to use this as an excuse to drool over the 1960 Chrysler 300 model. Hotness. A full list from the press release of all the fabulous events they have planned for next week in LA are below…
