Recipe for a Globe TreKK Cocktail:
One part fashion show
One part art show
One part hipster scene
Three parts underground cool
Shake vigorously, with ice. Pour into warehouse/loft art space. Top with Hennessey. Serve on the rocks, in downtown LA.

When I arrived, I wasn’t quite sure what I was walking into. I knew Hennessey had something to do with the event. As The Liquid Muse, of course, anything spirit-related piques my curiosity.
I usually arrive early, at events, so I can peruse the space and get a feel for what’s to come.

such a sweeeet little sporty thing that I decided not to over analyze it, and just drool on it, a little.

Behind the VW, at one end of the exposed-brick hall, a wall-sized video installation flashed intriguing images. Paintings lined the three-walled room. A band warmed up in the corner.

Overall, I was intrigued by what the evening may hold.

Meanwhile, I headed to the bar, where the Hennessey bottles were lined up like works of art, themselves! The bartenders were adorable and fun, which is always a plus, in my book… although their “cocktail” suggestions, left me cold (Hennessey and Coke? C’mon, folks, let’s get a bit more creative than that!) Taking a quick glance at what was available, I created my own ‘signature cocktail’ for the evening: Henn, with a splash of Grand Marnier, a squeeze of lemon and topped with ginger ale. Quite pleased with my spur-of-the-moment creation, I sipped down a couple of them as the Globe TreKK attendees slowly filed in.

I don’t claim to be a fashion maven, myself but I know ‘hot’ when I see it (and NOT in the Paris Hilton way).

All in all, I’d call Globe TreKK LA’s mixing of space, fashion, music, visual and wearable art a recipe for success!
