L.L. Cool J, host of the 55th annual Grammy Awards, posed the ladies of?D’Milikah Swimwear in the Grammy Awards gift lounge last Friday (February 7, 2013).

The Gift Lounge is a private event held at the Staples Center and is open only to GRAMMY invitees and?media?during the three days of GRAMMY rehearsals (Feb. 7-9).

I also had the honor of attending the lounge and walked away with several goodies from New Era, Chakalates (Chaka Khan’s chocolates), Diet Pepsi, DeviceWear and more.

The Lounge gives GRAMMY presenters and performers an exclusive introduction to new and exciting products and while I was merely a lowly blogger in the mix, I mingled with celebrity guests like Chaka Khan, Terrell Owens, Sean Stockman (BoyzIIMen), Ashanti, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Kimberly Elise, Miguel and more.

Check out a few photos from the GRAMMY gift lounge below…

It was a bit chilly in L.A. but I must admit that I still looked HAWT beside Terrell Owens…
