FROM LOS ANGELES Fox's new series Glee concerns the ins and outs of daily life at a high school—so a themey screening and party at the Willows Community School in Culver City was in order to kick off the show's first season, which the network has aggressively marketed all summer long in anticipation of the premiere. Fox vice president of special events Tomiko Iwata oversaw the event, tapping Sequoia Productions to produce it.

The screening of an episode of Glee—which had the audience roaring with laughter at times—took place in the school's gym, where pom-poms sat on chairs and hand-painted posters with messages like "Fight, fight, fight" lined the walls. A squad of cheerleaders in outfits with Glee logos kicked off the screening with chants about the network and the show. MORE >>

Macy's Gets Totally '80s for Glamorama's 10th Anniversary

Now in its 10th year, Macy's Glamorama (formerly a Marshall Field's tradition) took place on Friday night. As the lights dimmed in the Chicago Theatre at the start of the evening's fashion show, a theme became apparent: From a set backed with Pac-Man graphics to a soundtrack peppered with hits from Prince, George Michael, and Michael Jackson, an '80s influence was demonstrably at work.

Cyndi Lauper and MC Hammer headlined this year's show, treating the audience of 3,000 to live renditions of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "U Can't Touch This"—respectively, of course—as models pranced out in designs from the likes of Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, and Tibi. Event sponsors also found a presence in the spectacle, with video logos and a full-length Chevy commercial appearing on a scrim that covered the stage before the show. During the show, an actual Chevy Corvette (painted an era-appropriate shade of teal) descended onto the stage in a cloud of smoke, becoming a prop in one of the scenes. MORE >>

FROM NEW YORK Major League Baseball rolled out a red carpet yesterday afternoon that stretched from 40th Street to Central Park South (a total of 19 city blocks) and covered more than 95,000 square feet of the Avenue of the Americas. The floor covering was for the All-Star Game Red Carpet Parade presented by Chevy, and over the course of two hours, the members of this year’s All-Star teams and 49 members of the Baseball Hall of Fame (who were transported in the backs of pick-up trucks).

Though red in hue, the carpet was green in design and construction. Created by California-based firm Bentley Prince Street Inc., the parade’s largest production element was made entirely of recycled fibers. Green-e renewable energy certificates and the use of on-site solar power also offset any electricity used during the carpet’s construction. MORE >>
