Rodeo Realtys Tam Nguyen supports UNICEF Event through Art

A Real Estate agent provides aid through art.

Rodeo Realty’s Tam Nguyen and Portrait piece “The Isabella” at the Nancy Vuu + UNICEF Charity Fashion Show

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (October 17, 2018) Tam Nguyen of Rodeo Realty Beverly Hills is celebrating a different major sale as of last week. Nguyen having log received accolades for real estate, recently flexed her creative skills for charity. This was showcased over the weekend at the Nancy Vuu+ Unicef Benefit Fashion show.

The charitable event was hosted at a beautiful Estate in the Hollywood Hills that was once featured on Million Dollar Listing. The event was organized by Nancy Vuu, a friend of Tam, and drew in a slew of global fashion industry leaders and entertainment influencers.

To show her support, Tam created a stunning Oil on Canvas portrait which was the only art piece auctioned off at the event for an astounding $5,000. Aptly titled “The Isabella”–the piece featured Nancy Vuu’s own daughter, Isabella in a one-of-a kind gown that was part of the designers first collection.

Through the Nancy Vuu foundation, the event was able to bring additional awareness to the L.A. community. The Nancy Vuu foundation is a major advocate for child welfare and prides themselves on upholding the values outlined in their mission statement. 

“Our passion is for today’s youth and to reach out to the broken.  Too often a child and/or teen is stripped of their identity due to a serious illness, losing a loved one, abuse, or even poverty.  Our hope is that through creating positive experiences that can help build confidence, we will begin to unleash our children to their full potential and greatness. We welcome youth with extenuating circumstances to be a part of the NANCY VUU Family through our fashion projects to experience this transformational culture. We also partner with numerous other charity organizations to make a bigger impact in empowering GOOD.”

The event was organized to raise awareness and support for the fight to end child trafficking, a global epidemic that UNICEF has incorporated into their worldwide mission.

About The Nancy Vuu Foundation:

VISION: To create a global culture that values and celebrates diversity, and a culture that instills great worth and confidence in our youth.

MISSION: To creatively use our fashion platform to empower today’s generation with courage and boldness to express themselves, by releasing hope through beautiful transformations as we help restore and build identity.

PURPOSE: To empower both women & children to recognize that every individual, regardless of their circumstance, is unique, beautiful and wonderfully fashioned. By doing so, we believe that this will create a culture shift that will enable them to embrace and walk in to their full identity.

“We believe that every person is Fashioned for LOVE & GREATNESS. ” – Nancy Vuu

About UNICEF USA- End Trafficking Project:

L.A. Eats of the Week

With as many restaurants as there are Bird scooters, we’ve decided to simplify your options of the week by dishing out the best places to grab a bite from power lunches to elegant fare. Read below for our nosh worthy eats throughout L.A.

“Breakfast is the most important deal of the day…”

The Gables

331 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90401
The Gables
The Gables

The Gables is a counter-order, neighborhood restaurant, serving an all-day, market-driven menu of homestyle California cuisine and fresh baked goods by Chef Vicki Fan Matsusaka. We recommend the Bodega Breakfast  Sunny, a pairing of busted eggs, nueske’s bacon and American cheese on ciabatta.

Lucky Boy

Lucky Boy
640 S Arroyo Pkwy, Pasadena, CA  91105

The crispy diner-style hashbrowns, loads of melty cheddar, eggs, and bacon make the breakfast burrito at Lucky Boy the absolute platonic ideal. If you only eat one breakfast burrito for the rest of your life, it should be this one.

The Village Bakery

The Village Bakery
3119 Los Feliz Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039

The Village Bakery and Cafe is a neighborhood place, located in a real neighborhood: Atwater Village in Los Angeles. All of of their food is prepared right in their kitchen every day from fresh and natural ingredients, including farmer’s market fruits and vegetables.  Our go to is the Atwater Special–Grilled polenta cake topped with parmesan cheese, scrambled eggs, spinach, tomatoes and crumbled bacon. Served on a parmesan crisp plate. Morning Perfection!

“Lunch, Brunch 2nd Breakfast!”

Sushi Note

Sushi Note
13447 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423

The restaurant is a collaboration between some of LA’s best names in wine and sushi, with an extensive wine selection and food from celebrated chef Kiminobu Saito. Gibbs’ sushi and wine approach is a casual one, as he wants diners to pair anything their hearts desire, even if it’s a delicate piece of snapper with a bold Napa red. Chef Saito has also brought on Takeshi Matsuzaki from Tama Sushi as his second in sliced-fish command.

Milk Bar

Milk Bar
7150 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046

Not exactly lunch  but we all need an afternoon pick me up from time to time. Milk Bar is an award-winning bakery led by chef and owner Christina Tosi. They believe in a world of endless possibilities, and create playfully nostalgic desserts that celebrate innovation and quality. Indulge in the seasonal favorite Pumpkin Dulce De Leche- a sweetness overload of vanilla spice cake, milk crumbs, roasted pumpkin ganache, dulce de leche, and roasted pepitas. Your inner fall fanatic will thank us later!

Roberta’s

Roberta’s
8850 Washington Blvd., Culver City, CA

Greater Los Angeles’s pizza moment continues with Roberta’s at the Platform project in Culver City. The famed Brooklyn pizza joint that counts Beyonce and Jay-Z as fans fired  out their popular East Coast menu. West Coast Roberta’s carries much the same menu as the original, with a lean on blistered pizzas as well as wood-fired vegetables, pasta, and cured meat. There’s room for lots of funky wines as well, and a full bar for cocktails to boot.

“What’s for dinner?”

Simone

Simone
449 S Hewitt St., Los Angeles, CA 90013

The long-awaited restaurant from James Beard Award-winning chef Jessica Largey is now open in Los Angeles’ Arts District. The multifaceted space features a dining room serving relaxed, produce-driven California fare, with a classic, elevated wine list by Beverage Director Jordan Egan (NoMad), and craft cocktails from Bar Director Iain McPherson (Edinburgh’s Panda and Sons).

Ronan

Ronan
7315 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046

This fresh addition to Melrose, called Ronan, is a newcomer project from Daniel Cutler (Sotto and Alimento) and his wife, Caitlin, whose resume includes experience at popular LA spots Hatchet Hall and Huckleberry, Eater Los Angeles reports. On the menu, expect to see shareable dishes such as chicken liver pate; pollen-dusted pork chops; and grilled snapper with fermented green tomato and roasted fennel. Craving pizza? Come try wood-fired specialties like the White Dynamite with ricotta, basil, garlic and Calabrian chili oil; or the Pixxa — a pie topped with mole rosso, squash blossom, Jersey ricotta and coriander flower. (You can check out the dining menu here.)

Asanebo

Asanebo
11941 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604

If you want to understand Asanebo, the sleek Japanese restaurant at the heart of Studio City’s sushi bar strip, you could do worse than to look at the tiny dish of chawanmushi there, the inevitable beginning to one of the long, multi-coursed omakase meals that are the restaurant’s reason for being. All Asanebo asks from you is an open mind, plus rather a lot of money. In exchange, you spend an hour or so in an elevated state of being.

Autism affects an estimated 1 in 59 children. Autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”) refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. We now know that there is not one autism but many subtypes, and each person with autism can have unique strengths and challenges. A combination of genetic and environmental factors influence the development of autism, and autism often is accompanied by medical issues such as GI disorders, seizures and sleep disturbances.

About Autism Speaks:

Autism Speaks was founded in February 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright, grandparents of a child with autism. Recognizing the need for a powerful voice Bernie Marcus donated $25 million to help financially launch the organization. Autism Speaks is dedicated to promoting solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the life span, for the needs of individuals with autism and their families.
