DNA Events in Los Angeles has introduced its Boozy Ice Cream Bar for events. The service involves female staffers dressed as retro cigarette girls serving trays of alcoholic milkshakes, like the Drunken Girl Scout Cookie, a mix of rum, vanilla ice cream, fresh mint, crème de menthe, and chocolate chips.

Relief From High-Heel Suffering
After a long Oscar night, host Seth MacFarlane's official after-party included a station from Tkees, which encouraged guests to check their heels (similar to the way they would at a coat check) and pick up a pair of flip-flops—in gold, appropriate to the occasion.

Macquarie Private Wealth Cocktails for a Cause Fund-Raiser
Macquarie Private Wealth hosted a Mad Men-inspired cocktail party in Toronto in the fall of 2011. Kim Graham and Associates produced the event and incorporated the 1960s into every aspect, including the menu. Appetizingly Yours served hors d'oeuvres on picture frames so that guests could see descriptions of each dish. The baked new potatoes were made to look like deviled eggs, a popular dish in the 1960s.
