The Boom Boom Room - Day Two

Today was a whirlwind adventure for Kane/Miller as we welcomed to The Boom Boom Room Alicia Coppola, Bill Bellamy, Catt Sadler (pictured above, reading On the Road with son Ryan), Chris Noth, Denise Richards, Joely Fisher, Kim Porter, Ming Na, Natasha Henstridge (pictured below holding While Mum Was Little), Nicole Tubiola, Omorosa (from The Celebrity Apprentice), Rena Sofer, Rosa Blasi, Samantha Harris and Angela Bassett.

Of course, after the event, we packed up our things and drove back to San Diego but not before joining many of these same celebrities outside the hotel, all waiting for thier cars (just like us "normal" folks).

The Boom Boom Room - Day One

Hollywood's famous families came out to the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles today to visit the Kane/Miller library that was a part of The Boom Boom Room celebrity gifting suite that is held annually and put together by Jayneoni Moore.

A fabulous turnout which included both award-winning actors from the TV and film industry, as well as press (and the paparazzi that follows) stepped inside the K/M library to enjoy the books, and the quiet, kid-friendly atmosphere.

Today, we met Former Miss USA Ali Landry, Angela Kinsey (of The Office), Bridget Moynahan, Carnie Wilson, Dayna Devon, Jason Isaacs, Kevin Chapman, Kevin Weisman, Leah Remini, Mackenzie Aldajem, Madison Pettis, Sasha Alexander, Shar Jackson, Taryn Rose, Tracey Gold, and Zorianna Kit.

Of course most of the celebrities brought their children, spouses, partners, siblings and parents so it was a big turnout which is expected to be even bigger tomorrow.

The Boom Boom Book Room

Back in September, our Sales Manager attended the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas. This was Kane/Miller's first appearance at the show, and one of our most successful - at least since I've been with the company.

We made a lot of new contacts there, including several new names and faces from the media as well as new retail accounts that are now carrying our titles, such as the new Toddler Tales series, featuring Tina Burke's adorable Sophie's Big Bed (Spanish edition coming in 2008).

This was just one of the books that caught the eye of Jayneoni Moore, Hollywood's Glamour Guru. Since then, I have spoken to Jayni over a dozen times, exchanged several emails and have been the recipient of the official invitation for Kane/Miller to participate in the Boom Boom Room as the exclusive publishing sponsor.

Founded by Jayneoni Moore, the Boom Boom Room began as a way to bring baby fashion and high quality products to celebrities and media.

In association with the 65th Annual Golden Globe Award Show, the Boom Boom Room will be held Friday and Saturday, January 11th and 12th, 2008 in Beverly Hills. This will be our opportunity to present Hollywood stars and international media with our award-winning children's books from around the world.

I better start shopping now for my wardrobe...
