MICHAEL KAILE’S Waterfront. Centre Hotel was positively humming last Thursday night! JOY TELLS ALL The electricity in the air was simply incredible! Some 737 women and eight men packed into the hotel portals to hear the high priestess on lifestyles in the ’90s give the crowd pointers on cook- ing, decorating, renovating and energizing. An Evening with Martha . Stewart was an outstanding suc- cess! America’s Martha Stewart is classically elegant, fresh and natu- ral, with great skin, is extremely well-groomed and really knows her stuff. . She makes regular appearances on Good Morning America and on Live with Regis and Kathie ‘Lee, The good news for her avid fans is that Martha is going to produce her own television show which should be on the fall view- ing schedule. Nice to sce the pretty wife of ‘the U.S. Consul General, Scarlett Swan, at the do, along with Car- “tier’s Ani Feurmann, thechicest of the most chic and one of the nicest, Marcia Andrew and Paul Ski, the Lazy Gourmet’s Susan - Mendelsca, Alderman Lyns Ken- nedy, West Van's dancing demon Shejla Jones on crutches, the just-resigned Hotel Van PR lady ‘Debora Uptoui,; Le Meridien’s Karen Hall, Timmy MacKay- . Dunn, Jane St. John and Lynne ‘Somerville, Becky Low, Water- frout Centre Hotel's Nanci Hail, and their professional PR lady Laura Vandriel, I pitied the eight gentlemen at the end of the reception as they searched desperately for the men’s rooms which,. outnumbered as they were, had been turned into ladies’ rooms, courtesy of screens and potted plants. Event chairman Cathy Howden and her Junior Leaguers are to be congratulated on this major fund- raising effort which managed to raise more than $25,000. 1 know that they were thrilled with the turnout and with the response!

The new feature movie Stakeout 2 started filming fast Monday, a bit later than expected, due to bad weather down south. The director and producer once - again will be John Badham, while stars Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez will reprise their, winning roles!... Still in the wild and wooly world of movies and television, the quietly effective publicist for Cannell Films, Leeanne Muldoon, is no longer at Cannell Film Pro- ductions. Seems that after five years with the Cannel] company, Leeanne really wanted a change. Her news today is that Leeanne will be the publicist for Stakeout 2! What a change! Cannell’s Steve Sasson tells me that, since it’s a bit quiet right now, they'll be hiring a new publicity person in about two months as they gear up for a very busy spring!... eno West Van waterfront dweller and Century Plaza Hotel owner Roy Lisogar was honored last Thursday evening at a festive din- ner at the Pacific National Exhib- ition hosted by the president of the PNE, Sandra Bannister.
