Model and businesswoman Dianne York launched a partnership with Dr. Gilbert Lee from Changes Plastic Surgery and Spa with a Jan. 16 cocktail party held at York’s breathtaking La Jolla home, with a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean. Dr. Lee is a well-known plastic surgeon and was voted “Top Doctor in Plastic Surgery in San Diego” by his plastic surgery peers in 2007 and 2008. In celebration of this launch, he has added features to his spa, including the FX laser, spray tanning, cellulite treatments, aesthetician services and a skin care line. York, a partner in this joint venture, is lending her expertise as a business consultant and offering her DYG make-up line at the spa. A lingerie fashion show by G-Strand showing the company’s Mia Brazilia line was one of the highlights of the evening. These sexy undergarments are sold in stores such as Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom. The models first stepped onto the balcony in an exciting lingerie ensemble and then strutted down the staircase to the waiting audience. These fine intimate fashions will also be sold at the spa. The evening was the beginning episode of a new reality TV show that York and Lee are collaborating on. The name of the show is “Addicted to Beauty,” and they are planning to film eight to 12 episodes. The entire cast and crew were there for the filming. York is working with a new team of assistants: Natasha Porlas, Gary Erwin, Ronnie Morgan and Shannyn Pareo. The producer handpicked them for the show. The cameras will be following York and Lee around filming what they do. Each week will be a new story, and several episodes will be shot in La Jolla. “Addicted to Beauty” will air on the Oxygen Channel sometime this spring. During the evening, York greeted her guests looking stunning in a powder-blue dress by John Galiano. The party culminated with a celebration of her birthday. The crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to her as she was presented with a beautiful cake. The crew filmed every part of the party for the first episode and was running around with cameras, lights and booms.
