Su Beningfield's jewelry
is unmistakably sculptural, reflecting her years of practice as a
design architect for the world-renowned architect Frank Gehry.
Her love of nature and a preference for bold and elegant
design imbued in her a fascination for natural lines and sensual
forms. Thus the reason she chose Morganne as a model for her line
of unique sculptural jewelry.

Our most favorite chanteuse Morganne returns
tonight to CabaretCabaret, the new weekly haunt by nightlife
impressario Rich Royal, every Wednesday at Pallihouse.
In recent years, it's been near impossible to catch this
rare bird in L.A., although she lives here. She's been flitting around
stages all over the world, sharing her charms. I first came across her
a decade ago in some tiny upstairs club near my place in mid-town. When
it came to my first Emmy party at Women's Wear Daily, I hired
her in a snap. I still run into guests from that night who ask about
her.
Morganne channels Edith Piaf, Grace Jones and Shirley
Bassey in a madcap gay Paree set of standards, quips and camp. Women
and drag queens want to be her, and she is every bit X chromosome,
Darlings, and every bit fabulous.
We caught Morganne two weeks ago at CabaretCabaret
(that's a hard "t" on the restate) after a delicious dinner under the
stars in the Pallihouse patio, with the every bit as mythic Constance Cooper playing host. Clad in a
second-skin black sweater dress and dripping spakle, Connie even sang
an ode to booze which he used to do way back in the day in dirty
downtown New York when he was running around with all the fantastic
freaks. He'll be sorely missed tonight as he's back in the Big Apple
celebrating his birthday. For us back here in L.A., Alexis Arquette
will attempt to step into Constance's stilletos. He can try. But
there's only one singular sensation known as Connie.
There's also only one Morganne. So get your glam on and
catch you in WeHo after 9!
CabaretCabaret is at Palihouse, 8465 Holloway Drive,
West Hollywood. Free.

Morganne Performs at Barclay Butera
Fete
Sponsor Elle Decor
helped interior designer Barclay
Butera host a party at his
La Brea showroom that featured a cool jazz and cabaret performance in
the
upstairs space by velvet-voiced chanteuse Morganne. Caterer Truly Yours
Gourmet Food & Catering passed hors d’oeuvres such as portabella
pastries, and
267 Infusions served cocktails using its fruit- and vegetable-infused
liquors.
Julie du Brow of DubroWorks produced the event and handled PR.
Morganne, billed as
“Hollywood’s Favorite Chanteuse” sang the night away.
As the night ended, it was clear who the leading paragon of interior
design is…
and right now that is Barclay Butera.
The “Barclay Butera / Elle Décor GO
GLAMOUR!” event on Thursday,
September 14th was glamorous to say the least. Elle Décor
magazine had chosen
Barclay Butera to host their once a year “Go Glamour” night party. It
also marked
the 3rd anniversary of Barclay’s 7500 sq ft showroom located on the
south west corner of Beverly and La Brea in Hollywood, CA. The party
was packed
with
people all night long. Shoulder to shoulder crowds of America’s most
influential
people in the design world gathered to celebrate the art of
Barclay Butera.
New-ish 267 Infusion poured all evening, garnering very positive
ratings all ‘round
with their tasty fruit-infused liquors. There was no need to go
to far for a drink as
there was a bar upstairs and downstairs. Truly Yours Catering
continuously
offered up tasty treats. The mix of the evening proved intriguing and
very
positive.
Young Hollywood, who typically attend clubby, rock-oriented
“L.A.” parties
were enjoying talking to people with a wide range of ages and career
backgrounds. People were there from many different walks of life:
interior design
showrooms; magazines; the mobile entertainment industry; as well as art
photographers, and of course, from talent agencies and PR firms.
Spotted
among the crowd was Michael Cade
of General Hospital,
Grammy-nominated singer Sarah Kelly,
Brian Ray who is
the guitarist to
Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart
and
also has own album, party/club promoter
and son of Anthony Quinn Alex Quinn,
famous
photographer Glen Wexler,
Michael Corbett of EXTRA,
Ruth McCartney,
sister of Paul,
photographer
Peter Valli (who
has a stunning “Hip Hollywood Homes” book being released this
week),
and Michael Collaeger, editor
of Western Interior & Design
magazine
(eyeonla.net)
Home is where the heart is. It’s also where you entertain pals, wile
away the
hours vegging, eat, sleep, breathe . . . Basically home is the center
of your
universe and should reflect that significant role. Yes, Mr. Bachelor
Pad, that
means tossing the broken plastic halogen lamp even if it is
only in your office!
What better way to snazz things up than with
pieces from famed interior designer
Barclay Butera’s "Go Glamour" event sponsored
by Elle Décor.
The
designer’s wares were on display and for sale at the showroom, while
avante-garde diva Morganne performed
and guests sipped 267 Infusion fruit cocktails.(bizbash.com) |

Morganne
InternationalChanteuse
From
sweet sixteen in Montreal, to Paris
pre-legalese, Morganne soon became
muse to several of the world's formost Artists and Scholars. Senor
Salvadore Dali, the great A-muser of Time, was amongst those to
have
fallen under her spell. Tutored by the great opera Diva, Magda
LeMaradour de L'Opera de Paris, and Nikolai Kolesnikov from
Russia's
famous Bolshoi, Marganne was thought to be a natural talent.
Ballet,
Modern Dance, Mime, Theater and Music had been her life since the age
of 5. This bare-handed Marquise
(by descent), was fully immersed in the
music and fashion worlds of Paris and Milan.
And
oh, does she sing. She can start her show with a spellbinding textured
sound, sometimes compared to Sade, then transport the listener to Gay
Paris with a vibe a la Edith Piaf. After she stirs up the heat and
conjures sensuality like Grace Jones, she can burst into vocal
fireworks
that are similar to the great Shirley Bassey.
Morganne
will be entertaining at
RedWhite+Bluezz on Saturday,
February 21 from
9:00 p.m. to midnight
in the Jazz Club. This show is free to patrons.
RedWhite+Bluezz
is located at 70 S.
Raymond Avenue, Pasadena.

los angeles @ nite
with cool miss kastle
I did manage to make
it out for a few good shows starting with embracing my inner
Francophile by dropping in the new bistro French 75 in the heart of
Burbank’s studio district. This restaurant/lounge is like stepping into
a Parisian dream, dripping in decadently rich red décor,
decidedly Parisian art accents and the sensuous aroma of indulgent
French food and the clink of fancy cocktails. The only thing missing is
an enforced dress code of men in fedora hats and women draped in
plumage and smoking cigarettes from slinky stems in gloved hands.
One woman who always
dresses the part is Morganne, Hollywood’s
own
Canadian bred, world-traveled, cabaret jazz doll. With her jazzy backup
band, she was the perfect fit for this swanky joint. Decked out in long
gown, gloves and headdress, she cooed everything from French classics
to jazzy originals. Most impressive was her catchy bebop French rap.
And what is a night amongst the Hollywood studios without a star
sighting? Special guest (and appropriately named) Paris from American
Idol stopped in for a drink and seized the opportunity for a duet. I
felt right at home in this lux place so I had to come back a few nights
later for dinner and found the food absolutely divine as I treated my
taste-buds to chicken and mushroom crepes and of course, fine wine.
This place is worth treating yourself to a little ooh la la!

Happy Holidays with
the Dazzling Morganne!
BIOGRAPHY
From her dazzling
performance at LA’s landmark Walt Disney Concert Hall’s inaugural gala
to her renown l.a. Eyeworks’ print campaign, the incomparable chanteuse
and former Vogue model Morganne Picard is mesmerizing Los Angeles
audiences. The press raves, “Exotic, dynamic and thoroughly gorgeous –
her alluring presence and various costume changes per night, is only
exceeded by her singing ability. Oh does she sing!”
This 'Queen of the Underground' has ascended to Hollywood’s “Divine
Diva.” Mix a phenomenal live singing ability with a provocative stage
presence, and you have one of the rare breed of singers invited to
perform at the finest venues and most exclusive Hollywood parties
without the benefit of representation or a record deal.
This charming and soulful indie pioneer hasn’t had the time to focus on
mainstream validation, her laid back philosophy is rather, let
mainstream come to her.
Morganne’s singing and modeling career skyrocketed in Paris in her
early teens, where she was snatched up and signed by Warner Brother’s
International. Her exquisite looks and prodigious live vocal talent
catapulted her into the limelight singing at the famous Parisian
nightclub Les Bains Douches, starring in films and commercials, and
modeling for print and runway around the World.
Later Morganne moved to New York where she honed down her Jazz career,
and sang at such notorious venues as the Blue Note and Nell’s. Upon
relocating to Los Angeles, the city warmly embraced her European flare,
and a loyal and devoted fan base gradually blossomed.
As a student of opera, ballet, belly dancing and mime, this triple
threat entertainer thrives in a live setting as she blends her talents
into an unforgettable show that has heated up the hippest nightclubs
and venues worldwide. Decked out in haute couture, with a magnificent
chapeaux from her legendary collection, Morganne’s electric fusion of
Jazz, Blues, Latin, Reggae, Trip Hop, Chill-Out and vintage R&R ,
results in a thrilling repertoire you’re not likely to experience
anywhere.
This glamorous, globe trotting artist has performed at the House of
Blues, Montreal Jazz Festival, and opened for megastar Barbra Streisand
at the Kodak Theater as well as The Los Angeles Philharmonic at the
Hollywood Bowl.
She has also entertained at such elite functions as Mercedes-Benz’ Los
Angeles Fashion Week, Stella McCartney’s “Absolut Stella” soiree,
opening of the W Hotel and of the Music Box-Henry Fonda Theater.
Morganne’s most exciting personal accomplishment was achieved when she
was invited by the UNITED NATIONS to be an honorary artist of the new
initiative “Artists for the United Nations” a partnership between
Global Vision for Peace and the UN – with an honorary committee
including his holiness the Dalai Lama. She was also recognized with an
award of achievement for her extraordinary volunteering in arts,
education and programming for the Los Angeles Cultural Affairs
Department.
Morganne wrote a song for designer Maggie Barry’s new perfume
‘Dangerous Love’, and is the spokes-model-singer of the perfume.
