The lovely duo While it may have been U.K. pop star Luciana’s big night, it was the legend herself, Betty White, who truly stole the show and captured the heart of all those in the room.At an exclusive event to promote Recording Artist Luciana’s latest single, an eager crowd was treated to a special appearance by the golden girl herself who would lend vocals for the new song, marking not only her rapping debut but also her emergence into the world of music videos. While the excitement built for the music video’s release, Betty and Luciana posed with “The Betty White Dancers” (group of large, handsome body builders) before retreating to their private booth to entertain photographers and journalists.
As the lights dimmed, a special short documentary about the filming process was shown in which Ms. White stated, “I have never been in a music video before, it was all really quite exciting”. All the while, Luciana expressed her gratitude to work with the film legend turned pop culture icon. After a brief intermission, the music video was finally revealed much to the delight and great approval of the resident audience. Its combination of new age cinematic mixed with modern sarcastic humor (e.g. a Betty White body double break dancing) created a hilarious thematic story that entertained like no other. Though Betty only remained for a short while after the premier, the real event was an impromptu performance by Luciana herself and her signature electro dance style of music. After performing three of her hit songs to a crowd of pleased dozens, Luciana remained to sample some of The Abbey’s trademark “zootinis”, which are essentially alcoholic key lime pie flavored drinks and especially delicious.

The trendy local hot spot truly delivered with a selection of tasty finger food such as miniature cheeseburgers, shrimp tempura shooters, and towards the end of the evening lovely single serve cheesecake squares. While the food was enough to keep the attendees satisfied, the open bar stocked to the brim with top shelf selections made sure everyone was enjoying himself or herself. Upon arrival at the bar called “The Abbey” this writer was surprised to see a jungle theme present, but with the mantra of the night being “I’m still hot”, it seemed strangely relevant. On set with the two The night also had a serious note as the event was held to support and raise funds for The Lifeline Program which benefits senior citizens and the Los Angeles Zoo and their programs. Betty has served on the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association Board since 1974, and is very passionate about the cause. Best of luck to the growing success of Luciana and the always-lovable Betty White. |
