(story to be published in tomorrow’s issue, March 8)
On March 8, there is a celebration that Club A would not miss out. Working with Radio Total they will organise tonight in the Blanari street no.14 a party dedicated to ladies of all persuasions and ages. The organisers aim to treat all women as movie stars starting with 22.00. A man will meet each woman at the entrance with a gift. The first time they threw a party dedicated to women where men actively participated (March 1) was a success. One of the celebrated women will receive the Grand Prize: all the money they will make in an auction, a big cake and a magnificent red dress made by designer Laura Olteanu. The “Woman in red” will not be the only one spoiled tonight; the contests will last till morning. One of the “presents” will be George Michael’s last album (“Songs From the Last Century”) that will be launched in Romania on this occasion. Today starting at 21.00, Green Hours is organising on the same occasion a night dedicated to “Jazz Ladies.” Six of the most famous jazz soloists will be invited to sing: Marta Hristea, Teodora Enache, Maria Raducanu, Rudy Teianu, Ozana Barabancea-Terinte and Ruxandra Zamfir. Mircea Tiberian (piano), Vlaicu Golcea (bas) and Vadim Tichisan (drums) will accompany the “Jazz Ladies.” Johnny Raducanu will be the special guest star. Another such event, only a little more political in nature will be the political carnival “Ode to our beloved leaders” that will be held at the Manuc’s Inn in Bucharest by the BNS trade union and the Foundation for Art and Ecology. The carnival will include the presence of many politicians, actors and “simple mislead citizens.” The event will begin at 11.30 with a march starting in Piata Victoriei. The folk dance, the fanfare, the ten citizens dressed in costumes specific for the 1850s period, a moment that is significant for Romania’s political life. There will also be a horse-wagon with posters glued to it depicting all ministries that existed in Romania. We hope that all of these events will help brighten the city and get it into a carnival mood.
