Where to Drink: Celebrity Sips @ Millions of Milkshakes

Her face lit up and her eyes feverishly glittered as she firmly declared: "I want a Kim Kardashian." I stared at her for a few seconds, struggling to figure out exactly what she meant. Was she talking about a new perfume? A new dress? The socialite herself?

I finally figured out that my friend was referring to a milkshake. Now, thanks to Millions of Milkshakes, our favorite celebrities can be conveniently cherished, sipped and savored in the form of a tasty treat, at our disposal, seven days a week.

The concept is quite simple: roll out the red carpet, invite a star to come invent a milkshake, and then open doors for the general public to schmooze and rub elbows with the celebrity host. When I went to Niecy Nash’s milkshake naming event last week, I was shocked at how much of a VIP party it was. Top 40 hits blared throughout the brightly lit space, cameramen incessantly chased after up-and-coming stars and most customers looked like they were dressed for the ‘club rather than an ice cream shop, decked in Louboutins, mini-dresses and suede leather boots. For an instant, I forgot where I was, and almost walked out without what I had came for: a milkshake.

So if you’re itching for something sweet and also want to meet your favorite entertainer, head down to Millions of Milkshakes to be thoroughly amused and utterly satisfied. Check out which star will make an appearance next by following Millions of Milkshakes on Twitter: MILKSHAKES247.

Pictured below: From Ciara to Ron Artest, La Toya Jackson and Vivica A. Fox, the list of celebrity shakes is endless. Acknowledge your own celebrity by creating your very own delicious drink.
