Tres Beaux: Young Patrons Art It Up At Portland Art Museum Ball.
STARRY, STARRY NIGHT: It was an affair of the art for young patrons of the Portland Art Museum at the third annual Beaux-Arts Ball. Held Saturday nighht on the third floor of PAM it allowed what some might consider as a staid crowd to let their freak flag fly. And, boy did they ever. Encouraged to "Come As You Art"—and don the ensemble of your favorite arty icon—there was plenty to gawk at throughout
the evening including Ball Chairs April Severson and Krista Swan (dressed to the nines as a "force of nature") and two of the hottest "Edie"-look-a-likes to ever grace P-town. For the night, PAM's grand ballroom was transformed essentially into a nightclub more akin to Studio 54 or the infamous Limelight complete with private cabanas as well as bleacher seating. And as for the food and drinks? Well, sloppy joes, mini-corn dogs and waffle fries were served to help patrons soak up all the signature cocktails that whooshed down a two-story luge at the oddly entertaining "Fur Bar." Yes, it was that kind of party. Onstage Seattle’s "Queen of Burlesque," Lily Verlain, painted herself into a Picasso. Her performance was followed by Morningwood, a Lady Gaga-ish dance band, and Gang of Four's always entertaining Dave Allen, who DJ'ed late into the night.
