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) |

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!
