How Celebrities From Cher To Sinatra To Cosby Looked In Boston

... ever met Marty Walsh? Thanks to Farrington, we know that he’s met Peter Wolf, of J. Geils fame. This was in 1994. Presumably, it’d be more fun to hear Tony sing “Freeze Frame” than to hear Peter sing “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.”. Athletic worlds of a much different sort collide when boxer Vinny Pazienza meets pro wrestler Killer Kowalski at a New England Sports Museum opening. This was 1993. The Killer was way past his prime.

... politics,” she told the crowd during a chatty moment near the beginning of the show, which drew a robust response. Cher In the Schools. Still, recent political news events ended up getting mentioned: during a Q&A with the audience, a school teacher mentioned the newly appointed U. S. Secretary of Education (but not by name), before asking Cher if she would come and speak to her school. Cher first saluted the woman and all the work that teachers do, and then asked the woman to leave her contact information with representatives at the show to see if a school visit might be possible.

To this day, Cher and Bob are remembered for the extraordinary creation she wore to the 1986 Academy Awards: A huge feathered Mohawk headdress with a bejeweled loincloth, knee-high boots, chain-link top and black stretch pants. “It’s funny, but she’s never actually worn that to perform. But everything for the new Las Vegas show falls into that category,” Bob added.

How Talking To Cher Helped Gregory Arlt’s Makeup Career

... [debating] whether I should talk to her. God and the universe said go talk to her. I walked up to her, [I introduced myself] and said I just met with your producers for Style Challenge. We started talking for 10 to 15 minutes. I told her how I just worked with Kevyn Aucoin but in my head, “Oh my god! Oh my god! I am talking to Cher.”. The next day the producers called me and said that my name came up a lot. So I got into the show. I ended up designing Cher’s makeup for her tour. How is Kevyn Aucoin like. He’s amazing. He’s a wonderful person. What did Kevyn Aucoin teach you about makeup. Transformation. Makeup is transformative and is about polishing the pearl. How does the process of designing makeup looks work.

Executive chef Joel Versola and executive pastry chef Michael Outlaw teamed up with corporate sous-chef John Um to create an eight-course tasting menu with whiskey cocktails.

I’m a Sauvignon Blanc drinker, especially in Asian fusion restaurants, but this time I tried a passion fruit whiskey sour and Wagyu cocktail, a classic riff on an Old Fashioned. Delicious. Leave room for the Cafe Bom Bom dessert — dark-roasted coffee custard, chocolate hazelnut crumble and sweet cream ice cream topped with Japanese whiskey foam. They partner it with a Japanese cherry Manhattan Granita served with Iwai Japanese whiskey, Carpano vermouth, cherry bitters and cherry syrup. The entire experience is not to be missed.
