Was There A Lounge Called?
- Thread starter VW
- Start date
Eve . . . if we're thinking of the same place, the nightclub near Santa Fe was "Le New Feeling." It wasn't a guy & his "girlfriend." The latter -- Mylene -- now is the hostess for Nikki Beach, and she operated Le New Feelilng with her brother, Renee. Their mother, Mireille, usually was at the bar, near the door, and was an unofficial monitor of all things in the club. Mireille is President of the Chorale group at the Anglican Church (and, I might add, has a beautiful voice).
I came to know Renee, Mylene, and Mireille when Renee and Mylene were stars of the floor show at La Banane under impresario Jean-Marie RIVIERE. It was outrageously sexy, daring, and funny (for commentary comparing and contrasting it to a later version of the show, see http://www.cieux.com/stbarth/dcln1.html from Phil Stripling, an early St. Barths friend and the creator of the site that, I believe, became St. Barths Online (as developed by Peter & Laurence O'Keefe)).
The La Banane nightclub era was, as you probably remember, of the same time as what might be considered the peak period of Autour du Rocher. Survivors recall it with great fondness.
If you should go to Nikki Beach -- if for no other reason, simply to say "Hi" to Mylene -- you'll get a warm embrace for an inquiring reminiscence of Jean-Marie RIVIERE and the glory years of La Banane.
