| They all took in the spectacular stage sets designed by a London theatre company -- a hot, crowded sailors’ bar; a pine forest with a tent with a “genie” serving absinthe; a melancholy brunette dancing alone to crackling tunes on a gramophone, and a mini harem, with actors interacting with the guests. After dinner, the guests were treated to a performance by Donna Summer, with Jacobs singing backup. Summer’s daughter Amanda Sudano models for Louis-Vuitton. So Summer has a special allegiance to the company. |
