Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 28, 2011
The #1 international shape wear brand for men and women, Spanx, Inc., took over The Grove in the heart of Los Angeles on Sunday. Thousands of people watched the jumbo screen as celebrities took on the fashionable red carpet during the Oscars. The 32 foot double decker bus, deemed the “Spanx Booty Bus” was parked in the middle of The Grove, where people could not only shop, listen to our DJ-Yo-C spin great music on top of the bus, but also get a $25 dollar gift certificate to spanx.com. Guests created flipbooks by the Spanx Booty Bus and viewed the current and new lines from Spanx.
Guests were shown Spanx Swimwear, Spanx for Men, the new strapless bra, Bra Cha Cha and Slim Cognito body shapers just to name a few. Audiences also had the opportunity to listen to our celebrity stylist panel commentate on the celebrity fashion during their walk down the red carpet. Panelists included A-list celebrity stylist Vanessa Geldbach, BBC correspondent Bruce Reynolds, Style Expert as seen on E!, Lindsey Albanese, POSHGLAM blogger Imelda Vergara and hosted by actress/model Samantha Gudstat.
During the Oscar week, the Spanx Booty Bus was used as a mobile style lounge where celebrities and A-list stylists (Jessica Paster and Brad Goreski) stopped in to check out all the new products from Spanx!
Spanx founder, Sara Blakely, said, “We were so excited to take Spanx on the road to our favorite stylists and celebrities this year and, we’re happy to report there were no spare tires found on this Booty Bus!”
