It's almost the end of the year and 2006 has been a blast. To ring in the new year we have another special Karma Foundation Event to present to you!

Their big events this year - Kandyland at the Playboy Mansion, Rockstar Halloween at Prince's old house and VIP Auto Fashion were huge successes. Now the Karma Foundation is putting on one last great event for 2006 - a spectacular New Year's Eve party – the New Year's Eve Model Mansion Ball!

The Hollywood Hills Mansion they have selected has been the site of several "A" list parties for the Oscars, Grammy's and last year’s amazing celebrity attended New Year's Eve.

This will be the second annual party, produced Karma style with some of Hollywood’s coolest people. Co-Hosting the event with Karma Foundation will be Benchwarmer, eModel Space and 944 Magazine.

There will be an official Benchwarmer model search and over 100 models to host on the night of the party.

- OPEN full bar all night until 4:00 a.m.

- Several DJ's spinning inside in the nightclub level of the mansion, upper level dance floor, patio level and outside in the VIP grotto section all night long

- Of course they will have amazing décor, swanky lounges, cool lighting, Go-Go dancers, shows and attractions happening throughout the night

We will ring in the New Year with a special champagne toast at midnight, confetti, favors and a few surprises including a celebrity host countdown.

As always, Karma Foundation will donate proceeds from the event to worthy cause, the Marconi Foundation for Kids.

The event is very exclusive with only 1,500 tickets available and space will go fast. They also have a limited number of VIP tables.

About The Karma Foundation:
The Karma Foundation's first chapter sprung up in Los Angeles, and others are developing around the country in San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Dallas, as well as in London and Australia internationally. While many would assume that it is non-profit, Karma is actually an LLC (limited liability company) that gifts its members with networking and entertainment services.

In addition to tremendous parties, the foundation members also hold roundtable meetings to network and to discuss ways of benefiting worthy causes. Marvin Epstein, one of board of Governors of the Karma Foundation who is a board member on 5 charities himself exemplifies this initiative. The members prioritize philanthropic organizations that they believe may need support as more and more funds are diverted to natural disaster funds and the like. Members are generally successful, well-connected, good-hearted, and business-savvy. Their process to join the organization is by invitation from a founder or existing member. (For the
not-so-well-connected, one can also fill out an application and be considered for membership.)

The VIP Auto Fashion Show, a prestigious event that showcases the world’s finest luxury automobiles competing for various awards, is being held in Los Angeles on Saturday, November 18th. The event, that will take place at the LA Convention Center, will spotlight these magnificent cars and more importantly, the hot young models who are there to show them off. And who will also be battling for the title of Miss HIN VIP.

The show is put on by Hot Import Nights and on top of the competition and runway show, will also feature designer’s booths marketing the latest new products in automotive technology and style. A few of the cars in the lineup: the Miura Corse Lamborghini, the WALD Mercedes S550, the 2006 Mercedes CLS, and the GMG SCCA Pro Racing Speed World Challenge 996WCGT3 driven by James Sofronas. The fashion show will feature up and coming designers and will be viewable by exclusive lounges sponsored by Bentley and our boys at The Karma Foundation.

The Karma Foundation Lounge will feature the following automobiles courtesy of its Members; Saleen S7, Spyker C8 Spyder, Ferrari F50, Mosler MT900, TVR Tuscan, Bugatti, Mercedes Gullwing, Mercedes Brabus sV12 & more. Karma will also be conducting a casting for ladies to appear in future event covers. Karma will be benefiting the Marconi Children’s Foundation.

Other giveaways include a spa and hotel package from the Los Angeles Athletic Club. This event is sure to be talked about, but if you can’t make it there are other upcoming events sponsored by The Karma Foundation. General admission for the car show ranges from nineteen dollars to seventy-five dollars. To inquire about VIP lounge tickets, email Mike@visionevent.com.

These are not in order of who is the best but rather a collection of the best.
QUINTESSENTIALLY
Advertised as a “club for those who believe that life is too short to waste time on the mundane or second-best,” the uber-elite Quintessentially offers an insane amount of benefits that make its steep annual fee (almost $1000 USD for single general membership) totally worth it. With benefits in 15 countries, Quintessentially helps you find hard-to-book tickets, invites members to exclusive parties, and even arranges events FOR you, simply out of gratitude for your membership. The service also offers a number of discounts for spas, hotels, international shopping venues, and even has its own wine club, making paying up and partying hard merely club bonuses. However, part of its exclusivity is that it’s precisely that – exclusive. If you aren’t already invited, you have to fill out an application for approval – think a more grown-up version of the high school varsity teams.

MILLIONAIRE’S CONCIERGE
Yea, this company doesn’t even fake the funk with a pretty company name for membership hopefuls – it’s for millionaires, and if you’re not one, you probably can’t afford it. With access to private islands, high performance driving events, and even a section entitled “Famous Celebrities for Hire”, this company can throw you a party and make James Brown your date…just because you’re a member.

CAREFREE LIFESTYLE
You may not actually be media-popular enough to need one, but a bodyguard might be something fun to have when you actually have access to one. The Florida-based Carefree Lifestyle concierge service is mainly a lux rental service, allowing you to temporarily pimp in the finest cars, mansions, yachts and more. Having a sweet rental and a bodyguard not only makes your vacation ten times better, but makes you at least fifteen times more likely to score a vacation fling way hotter than the one you’d have picked up in your Subaru.

At PimpWiz, we are always evolving and we realize we might have missed some amazing concierge companies. So if you think there should be another company included to this list please write in and let us know!

We would also like to mention two "upgrade your lifestyle" companies that are making big waves on the West Coast, The Karma Foundation and Xenii.

Their mission statement reads: "Where remarkable pay-it-forward people come together to expand their spheres of influence in sensational and elite social settings." Their last event benefited "Head to Hollywood", a charity founded by Carmen Electra for brain tumor survivors. With a variety of prestigious supporting sponsors The Karma Foundation and its alliances have been successful in growing their membership worldwide. They have been known to hold their members-only roundtables in elite hotels and events at high profile venues. Ladies and gentlemen, may we present The Karma Foundation.

We always knew that the sentiment of generating positive energy will only create more positive energy. The Karma Foundation has utilized this principle and applied it in many areas including big-pimpin' parties at the Playboy Mansion.

Eric Stotz, one of the founders of the Karma Foundation along with James Pratt began the foundation back in 2005 with the goal of helping good people with good friends find professional and social advancement through philanthropic events.

Along with mixers, and private pool parties which have been at wonderful locations like the W Hotel to events at such legendary venues, as the Playboy Mansion where their latest event Kandyland took place on June 3rd of this year.Kandyland, entertained over 1000 guests who enjoyed the event which complemented its universal theme with celebrity DJ's, body-painted ladies, and the requisite bunnies, and based on the member's response plans to be an annual Karma Foundation event.Up-and-coming events include a exclusive poker tournament slated for later this summer and a black tie gala in the winter; one can only imagine what they are planning in 2007.

In addition to tremendous parties, the foundation members also hold roundtable meetings to network and to discuss ways of benefiting worthy causes. Marvin Epstein, one of board of Governors of the Karma Foundation who is a board member on 5 charities himself exemplifies this initiative. The members prioritize philanthropic organizations that they believe may need support as more and more funds are diverted to natural disaster funds and the like. Members are generally successful, well-connected, good-hearted, and business-savvy. Their process to join the organization is by invitation from a founder or existing member. (For the
not-so-well-connected, one can also fill out an application and be considered for membership.)

What makes the Karma Foundation different from many other well-meaning social groups? While the foundation anticipates it will significantly grow its members in the next year, the founders believe that its invitation-only policy ensures like-minded members and an amiable tone that lends itself to truly efficient and effective networking. While many would assume that it is non-profit, Karma is actually an LLC (limited liability company) that gifts its members with networking and entertainment services.

The Karma Foundation's first chapter sprung up in Los Angeles, and others are developing around the country in San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Dallas, as well as in London and Australia internationally. Check out more information on upcoming events and how to join at The Karma Foundation
