Am so thrilled that Gwyneth Paltrow is opening a pop-up shop for her GOOP line in a local shopping center.
Seriously?
The rumor mills are buzzing that the GOOP-ster is $1.6M in debt. Hey, who hasn’t had a couple of IOU’s in their sphere of financial wonderfulness? Lots! But that little situation is between Gwenny and her accountants.
The problemo that bothers some locals is that there is no sign of her poppy-up benefiting a local charity. That just may happen. But why wait?
There is a grand opportunity to visit shops, spend buckeroos, feel good and support the 4th Annual Gingerbread Stroll. Organized by Christine McKenny and benefiting Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, it’s a killer for tastebuds. Only thang missing is an ice-cold glass of fully-fat milk and/or some wicked whip cream.
Please stop drooling. It’s going to mess up your keyboard.
“The Gingerbread Stroll has become a wonderful tradition during the most wonderful time of the year,” said Christine. “People of all ages gather with their family and friends to attend, and it’s always fun to see how the chefs express themselves creatively. Everyone loves a gingerbread house!”
There’s a 99% chance that Gwenny won’t be there, but the gingerbread man will be and he’s dying to have you bite his head off.
You can toast him and event adviser Lynn McBee at Cole Haan on Tuesday, November 18, if you can find a parking space. If not, then use that killer charm of yours and have the valet take your wheels.
Or, better yet, you can “silently bid on ornately decorated gingerbread houses, crafted by 12 of Dallas’ premier pastry chefs” including Celebrity Café & Bakery; Charlie’s, Pastry Chef Winter Lockwood-Frank; Chocolate Secrets; Fine Arts Concepts, Joy Lynn; Four Seasons Resort and Club, Cafe on the Green; Hilton Anatole; Hyatt Regency Dallas at Reunion; Omni Dallas Hotel; Rosewood Crescent Hotel; Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, Catering Team; Tom Thumb and The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas.
