Publicity shy Vegas supremo Frankie Sumatra makes another
monthly visit to Edinburgh's Ego club to spin some vinyl and preside over
the extravagant night of hedonism, debauchery and drunkenness that is Vegas.
As ever the members of the Vegas cult who attended this gathering were a
sartorially splendid bunch of sophisticates and swingers. Sumatra spends
his time holed up in the Presidential Suite of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino
on the Vegas Strip and spends his time sending bizarre e-mails to the Vegas
cult members informing them of forthcoming meetings, cocktail recipes, style
tips and the benefits of a relaxed lifestyle. Like some latter day CEO for
the Howard Hughes Organisation Dino Martini is Sumatra's emissary on Planet
Earth. Ageing hipster Martini receives Sumatra's instructions and paycheck
from a new and ever more beauteous Thai dancing girl each month. Martini's
pad is now so packed with exotic vixens he has trouble getting over the
threshold. His jacuzzi is already full of far-eastern femme fatales as is
the swimming pool, patio and waterbed. He may even have to build a second
garden shed to accomodate them all.
