Lash Fary. The name conjures images of a Disney character, one who might pluck a single eyelash and spin it into a mound of woven gold.
Lash Fary does that, actually, in a manner of speaking. At the very least, he’s the man behind the magic at Distinctive Assets, which arranges for the burgeoning gift baskets (or, more like gift luggage cases) for presenters and performers at major awards broadcasts. Tonight, it’s the 11th Annual Latin Grammy Awards from Mandalay Bay Evens Center, to be broadcast on Univision tonight from 8 to 11.
“This is a thank you gift because the artists who appear do not get paid,” Fary says during a walk-through of the Latin Grammy gift lounge. The bags are left for the “talent” in suites, and this year’s Latin Grammy is presented in split-level Load Runner wheeled duffel bags. Included are gifts from (leaning heavily on the official news release listing the companies) Chocolatines by Sweet Endeavours, Dr. Christine Rodgers Enpointe Skin Solutions, Live In Fitness Enterprise, Eclipse Candle Co., The Norton Anthology of Latino Literature, Pureology SuperSmooth, LaVigne Organic Skincare, O.P.I. Nail Lacquer, Triunfo, CureCeuticals, Hasbro games, Elbow Friend, Lisa Ashley Beauty, Baja Traveler and M Spa Beverly Hills.
