‘Cadillac Jazz Lounge’ revs their engines
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A revved-up crowd turned out Saturday for the “Cadillac Jazz Lounge” at the InterContinental Hotel.
We asked Valarie Barney, who was trying the Courvoisier Cosmopolitan, if she drives a Caddy. “I don’t yet,” she said. Visiting with Clinton Jones, Laura Dawson and Sylvia Dawson, we swooped in to inspect Sylvia’s too-fab deco dragonfly pin.
“It was just something I decided I needed,” she said, speaking the Butterfly’s language. Domonique Fines, Lorraine Hayes, Kimberly Horton, Dara Modupé, Robert Mosley and Erin Rivers were among those enjoying a preview of the 2008 CTS and performance by jazz artist Euge Groove.
Dance of the Politician
Marietta City Councilman Van Pearlberg makes his ballet debut this December. He won a walk-on role in “The Nutcracker” during “Dancers are Athletes,” held at ESPN Zone to benefit Georgia Ballet.
Wife Patti and friends Judge Stephen Schuster and wife Reva, Scott Pearson, Kelly Ellis, and Jennifer Paugh, pooled their tickets, won and nominated the affable Pearlberg.) Sportscaster Gil Tyree emceed and the crowd included former NBA pro Dale Ellis, Georgia Ballet executive director Michele Ziemann-DeVos and board chairman Sam Hensley Jr.
They’ve got the Fever

Start getting that costume together
S.B. married into Savannah’s batty aristocracy and considers John Berendt’s book fairly spot-on, so we’re excited about Jerusalem House’s Halloween Bash ‘07: “Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil.”
It’s Oct. 26 the Foundry at Puritan Mill and will feature costume contests such as best “Good,” best “Evil,” and best “Gender-Bender.” Judges will include the Lady Chablis of “Midnight” fame and Miss Georgia USA 2007 Brittany Swann. Call 404-350-0513 or email info@jerusalemhouse.org.
Catering clairvoyance
Are you over the food-tini trend — everything from chocolate mousse to shrimp cocktail in a martini glass? The folks at Affairs to Remember hear you. General manager Patrick Cuccaro and staff recently buried a 30-year time capsule predicting more organic items and smaller portion sizes in the future, and hoping for the day when martini glasses hold only martinis. What’s your take? Tell me at butterfly@ajc.com, 404-526-5872 or 72 Marietta Street, Atlanta 30303.
