Turn of the Century nightclub, Shanghai Lily's, opened its doors for th
e first time last night. Owner Celestine Neutron's wonderful new club, which is based on the 1900's, looks like it will be a sure fire hit as everyone had a great time. Kicking off the night was excellent singer Crooner Carlucci and a crooner he is, taking us through an assortment of Rat Pack oldies and sounding for all the world like Dean Martin, he gave a smooth and professional performance as he walked among the crowd and danced with some of the lucky ladies in the audience whilst continuing to sing. Following Crooner was the beautiful DJ Violet Ormenthal with her stream of golden tunes from long ago, just right for the ballroom setting.

It sounded lovely. Too bad. Judging by the reception I got when I stumbled upon it, it's small wonder that it's gone nowhere. SL ventures run by unstable folks with unresolved power issues tend to crash and burn in their own drama after a while. If you intend to restructure and do a "grand reopening," do be sure to have staff and management review the concept of a business; hint, you do want customers and being rudely territorial is not the most effective way to build a clientele.
