Brooke Shields Hosts Tupperware Party In NYC

Last weekend, I was lucky enough to get an invite to a Tupperware party hosted by Brooke Shields. The event took place in The House and all proceeds were donated to the Boys and Girls Club of America. 100% of sales!!

Brooke's first Tupperware Tea Party included several of her celebrity friends including her Lipstick Jungle co-stars, Kim Raver and Paul Blackthorne. Also in attendance were Rosie Perez and Jane Krakowski. We even got a sneak peek at Brooke's new line, Radiance which will debut in January.

I have two gift bags from this party to give away and you will NOT be disappointed! The lotions alone are to DIE for. I can't stop putting mine on! (Contest coming up very soon  - stay tuned before noon)

Now onto the insider scoop.

When Brooke first arrived, Tupperware gifted her with a "bag" made out of Swarovski crystals and a Tupperware box for her daughters. She was really excited to receive it. You can see a picture of it in the thumbnails below. 

Rosie Perez and I chatted a bit about red meat. I can't tell you how we got on the subject, but it turns out the actress doesn't eat any because of a childhood experience she had that traumatized her. 

When she was young, her family couldn't afford to purchase red meat. So, they lived on chicken and pork. When she was about 7, a friend's family offered her a steak for the first time and she started to cry because she thought her chicken had gone bad and they were trying to make her eat decayed meat. She ran home to tell her mother who then explained what it was. Rosie was utterly embarrassed and was then picked on for many years over the event. Eventually, she got enough courage up to try a hamburger and threw up immediately. That is when she decided to never eat meat again. 

Paul Blackthorne was my new best friend. Not because he is devilishly handsome, but because he was so FUNNY! We sarcastically went back and forth the entire day and I really enjoyed his company. I wish him much success from and after Lipstick Jungle. He plays Brooke's husband for those who don't watch the show.

Kim Raver actually made me a little star struck. 24 is one of my most favorite shows - but no pictures were allowed with her so I couldn't snag one. I was REALLY upset about that one. But I wanted to respect the "rules" and let it go. 

Brooke was a busy bee taking pictures and doing interview the entire time. She was running up and down the stairs going wherever Tupperware needed her to smiling all along. Whenever she had a moment, she would huddle up with Kim and Jane to laugh and catch up.

Lindsay Price was supposed to attend, but she fell ill that morning. 

Jane Krakowski was as fun in person as you would think she was. We spoke only for a few moments while we were getting our picture taken, but she really was as sweet and genuine as ever. And petite! Did I mention petite?

And for all of you tea lovers out there (yes, I'm right there with you), Tupperware has just launched a new line of tea pots and tea flavors for purchase. They had them brewed at the event and I think I drank about 6 glasses of the iced one. So YUMMY! This isn't your mother's Tupperware anymore!

And while I have your attention, I just have to say that the CEO of Tupperware and his wife are two amazing individuals. Rick and Susan Goings are really attempting to make a difference in today's world and leave their positive mark on it all. It is really about bringing confidence and stability to women around the world for them - not the bottom line. IT is always refreshing and inspirational to walk away from an event after spending time with these two. If they weren't jet setting around the world spreading the Tupperware message, I would force them to have dinner with my husband and me! :)
