Some of the most exciting action at the 36th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards happened away from the cameras, as On 3 Productions produced the Official Presenter Gift Lounge. The gifting pleasure happened backstage at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, August 28 through August 30, 2009 throughout rehearsals and as CW Television Network broadcasted the 36th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards.

A very popular gift at the On 3 Productions event was vintage jeans for men and women from Anoname Jeans.

Host Vanessa Williams and her beautiful daughter, Jillian Hervey (who performed with her at the Daytime Emmys) have something in common; they both like the same style jeans so the mother-daughter tandem pre-ordered the “boyfriend” jean from Anoname ahead of their release date in January. Don’t plan on seeing “Mom” jeans on sexy Cameron Mathison anytime soon. While choosing a pair of Cult of Individuality Jeans, the All My Children beauty adored the straight, skinny jeans!

Erik Estrada can’t wait to wear his new Cult of Individuality jeans while riding on his motorcycle, and when they start wearing out the actor covers the holes with police patches like a former CHiPS star should.
