PALMA BOAT SHOW

Hello Sailor! - the beautiful people attend the Boat Show Night & Day

Report and photography
by Ken & Angela Ross

Under the watchful gaze of La Su Cathedral, this years
‘35th International Boat Show’ once again proudly
boasted of its ever increasing size and popularity.

With over six hundred boats on show (three hundred
of them actually in the water) and over two hundred
and fifty different exhibitors from all over Europe, the
five day event was always on course to be a winner.
Certainly with the estimated thirty four thousand
visitors, the show was packed to capacity most days.

Also becoming more and more popular is the evening
event, one very special night when many of the boating
companies hold an open bar, offering canapés and in
some circumstances even a barbeque.

Although predominantly for specially invited guests
- on our visit it seemed pretty general that visitors
could stop off at most of the many participating
stands and procure a welcoming glass of wine or
beer. Entertainment was also a main feature on the
more salubrious of stands, ranging from top DJ’s
to amazingly talented violinists, to several all out
wandering bands of drummers and the more up-
market traditional Spanish guitar band.

Such is the popularity now of this somewhat notable
evening that it has become a free standing social event
on its own, certainly worthy an entry in the diary of
any trend setting resident.

BILLYS. ROOFTOP BAR

BOUTIQUE & GELATO

Report and photography by Ken & Angela Ross

& Great nights out

Holding a successful launch party for the latest ‘roof
top’ bar in the posh playground of Puerto Portals is
never going to be easy, but by adding in some of the
smoothest sounds you will ever hear, mixing this
with a line-up of beautiful models showcasing the
latest in beach and casual wear, providing good and
efficient service and then combining all this to create
an atmospheric cocktail of relaxation and ambience,
then that is about as successful as you can ever be
– welcome to Billys
All eyes were on Billys after its new lavish makeover
and opening, a new drinking venue on the block,
which provides yacht and sea views to challenge any
other establishment in the port.
With a delightful inner bar Billys also offers a large
open terrace where guests can while-away these
summer evenings enjoying the cool breeze from the
Mediterranean Sea.
For the gourmet ‘Foodies’, don’t worry, from one
of our favourite restaurants, Spoon, situated below
Billys, the most succulent of dishes can be ordered
and brought up to your table.
Bar prices are not as scary as some in the playground,
the service was certainly smart and efficient on our
visits, and as always we appreciated the mood and
cool vibes with yet an undercurrent of excitement as
to who you will meet or bump into next.

As Alice in Wonderland, we also often follow the white rabbit down and down the rabbit-hole, all to find out the
who’s who and the when and the where of everything that is occuring? Of course at the same time not forgetting to

Celebrity is a high gloss colour (large format size 32cm x 23 cm ) magazine which has had its articles reproduced by
major worldwide publication groups. Our interviews and photographs have been syndicated throughout the world,
with our own exclusive photography featuring many of the most renowned personalities, stars and royals.
We are dedicated to our own in-house features and high standards of photography. Every article we have completed
throughout the world has been initiated by ourselves, personally with interviews and photography.
As we have often said – if it’s not in Celebrity, it didn’t happen!

On an assignment to the trendy Puerto Portals photographing the Royal Yachting Regatta, Celebrity’s Ken and Angela
had been the long term subject of a BBC camera crew filming their every move to include in one of it’s top summer
programmes.
Suddenly during the filming in the cordoned off area for press and television crews, the Spanish King, His Majesty
Juan Carlos (who was there to compete in the regatta) came over to the attending press and held out his hand to Ken
and Angela. They couldn’t believe it, neither could the worlds press who stood aghast around them, nor just as much
could the huge crowds of spectators watching. King Juan talked casually and with friendship of their newly created
Celebrity Magazine, and wished them well. He then proceeded to walk back towards his friends who were waiting
next to his yacht ‘Bribon’, moored at the quayside, but half way back, the King stopped, looked back at the Celebrity
duo and beckoned them to follow.
Six Armed Royal Protection Officers instantly made a corridor from the press area and led them to the Kings yacht.
King Juan Carlos stood smiling amongst his sailing companions and unbelievably he suggested our duo take an
exclusive photograph for their Magazine, laughingly pointing his finger at them saying it had to be on the front
cover.
This has to have been one of the greatest accolades for Celebrity Magazine, a Royal Seal of Approval from His
Majesty King Juan Carlos – a continuing bond which has remained until this day - a bond which has followed
through to Spain’s younger King, his son, His Majesty King Felipe and his Queen, Her Majesty Queen Leticia

During these years Celebrity have been fortunate to work with some of the worlds most famous stars of the silver
screen, with many respected politicians and the industries greatest pop and rock idols. Top sports stars such as
Boris Becker, Rafael Nadal plus World Champion Boxers Nigel Benn and Frank Bruno have all posed for our
camera.
Our photographs of televisions Jeremy Clarkson and his Top Gear team with the controversial glamour model
Madison Welch was another scoop we achieved – Jeremy (although all agreed earlier), was not a happy-bunny!
At the Governor Hotel, Park Lane, London, we were guests of Jess Conrad for his Celebration Award Dinner
hosted by the Variety Club of Great Britain – ‘A Celebration of Jess’s 100 Years in Show-Business’ was the
joking title. Here Celebrity were sat next to Angela’s long-term friend, actress Vicky Michele, photographing Jess
amongst his two hundred guests, which included a host of television personalities and stars.
So accepted has Celebrity become that we now receive invitations worldwide. Russia was the subject of several of
our amazing and intriguing trips – Ken and Angela were invited by the Kremlin, to visit Moscow and St Petersburg
which certainly proved to be two cities that lived up to their sinister and somewhat intimidating atmosphere (two
amazing seven pages features). Contrast that against the delightful time spent in Miami Beach, an invitation
from the Mayor, where everything was sun-kissed and a totally laid-back experience – both these were amazing
Celebrity feature articles – both for separate reasons.
In the West-End Celebrity worked with the beautiful and acclaimed actress Claire Sweeney and the American
super-star Patrick Swayze, both appearing together on stage at the Piccadilly Theatre in the Stage production of
‘Guys and Dolls’. Here Ken and Angela were were lavishly entertained during the interval with Champagne in
the ‘Queens Royal Reception Room’, later taken to the trendy ‘Caprice Restaurant’ for dinner – this was a truly
amazing evening with a true legend of the silver screen.
Celebrity was also invited to dinner and an exclusive (and very rare) interview with mega pop idol Sir Cliff
Richard, another interview and photographic opportunity conceded purely because of the trust Celebrity has
conveyed throughout the years – for Celebrity, the trust and the legend lives on.

least it was a Russian Party, held here at the
popular La Concha Restaurant.

Hosted by the gregarious Sacha Davidoff, the
party started quiet enough but as the evening
progressed (and the wine and spirits flowed)
it soon became one long amazingly enjoyable
party session. The music and superb voice of
entertainer Shanelly propelled the night from
the reserved dinner party to the dance fever
excitement that had everyone up on their feet.

CLASSIC

CAR RALLY

Report & Photography by Ken and Angela Ross

Top Gun - Christina & Chris More winners - more Champagne

Yet again the Monte Carlo experience hits us with the XIV Classic Car Rally bursting into life with over one hundred
international drivers competing for the coveted ‘Grand Winners Silver Trophy’.

And as always, when it comes down to the gala presentation evening, the time when all awards are presented – ‘it is the
winning - not the entering, that really counts (?)’
So with much gusto and steady nerves the collective group of very expensive cars had set off each morning on what was
actually to prove a very gruelling and challenging course. Of course there is the group who are here purely to win, the
professionals – usually the winning team driving a very expensive and ultra powerful Porsche.
For the true lovers of cars however, the owners of some amazing classic vehicles, it sometimes does seem it is the taking
part that they love most. On show are the Morgan’s, the much loved classic 1963 Jaguar sports car, a Cobra Hawk, and
for the more modest enthusiast, a 1965 Alfa Romeo Sprint.
At the pointy end (so to speak), the ‘mean machines’ include a 1986 Sierra Cosworth, an amazingly souped-up 1971 Ford
Escort, plus all the Porsches, QuattroSports and BMW’s with their banks of spotlights balanced on the front-grill, which
meant that individually each car could light up a whole village.
Certainly, race aside, the highlight for most is the return to base, like a giant pit-stop the cars roar back, times being taken
and cars examined by their back-up teams. This is where the car and rally enthusiasts can look over an amazing selection
of top vehicles, classics of years gone by.
Nearly mandatory now in this age of winners receiving their awards, the Champagne bottles are shaken and everyone
sprayed. Certainly the party night is enjoyed by all, stories told, tales of near-misses swapped, thrilling and scary
experiences no doubt exaggerated slightly – but all good fun and it contributes to an amazing atmosphere.
A truly great event, which was appreciated by both fans and drivers, the organisers should be proud of their success.

Carlos Delgado (Fashion Designer and Personal Shopper to Ribes and Casals), Juan Pedro Lopez (Fashion
Designer who flew in from Barcelona), Tania Presa (well known Fashion Designer) and Gemma Marchena

Nous, joined forces with the Allen Graham Charity
4 Kidz’ to help raise funds for disadvantaged
children.
“The charity needs the backing of people like
Heroes Director Joycey, it is invaluable to us” says
Allen and Rosemary . “I know in this particular
instance he and his staff at Heroes worked over
several months to raise funds for Easter Eggs,
enabling us to distribute them to the children’s
homes throughout the entire region.”
The charity visits most of the children’s homes,
helping financially, especially over the seasonal
periods where a little extra funding or the delivering
gifts is so fundamental to the children welfare.

PARTY-PARTY Stefan photographed during the event with several beautiful clients.

Artist (Paintress) Adela Ojeda with Stefan What started as a small in-house party for top hairdresser and
visagist Stefan Niedenzu quickly became a local street party
with several nearby shops and businesses joining in. Art was
the theme as his boutique salon was decorated with original
work by the artist, Adela Ojeda. Music, superb catering and
countless bottles of chilled wine ensured everyone enjoyed
the special event. Guests spilled out into the neighbouring
streets until it became one long street party.
Stefan is no stranger to celebrity status himself with many
of his clients being from the world of show-business and
television fame.
The evening became a highlight of the area with wine being
poured in many of the businesses you visited – a superb idea
and one that Stefan is going to make a regular affair.

ART, MUSIC, SHOP SALES, BAZARS, SO MANY EVENTS - AND ALL FOR CHARITY
Those ever hard working people who tirelessly raise funds for ‘Cala Nova Cancer Care Charity’ have held another season
of presenting cheques to the officials of several of our local major charity concerns (over the years the charity has raised
a total of 250,000 euros). With the help of so many supporters this group is forever raising funds for more people in need.

with a show of art work (wine and snacks were provided) with all profits going to the charity - well done everyone .

CYCLINGS SIX-POINT CHARITY CHALLENGE

Bryan Visser can certainly be described as a man on a mission – as a prolific fund raiser for several charities it was only
a matter of time before he would come up with an amazing scheme of his own to raise even more funds for worthy and
desperate in need charities – and so ‘The Six-Points Charity Cycling Challenge’ was created.

Last month, he and forty-two other cyclists set out from Calvia to circumnavigate the island (without any external support)
and cover a six point specific course, lasting three days (two overnight stops). The challenge took in some of the most
demanding and strenuous routes, but also rewarding, taking in some of the most picturesque and beautiful landscapes.
The culmination of events saw a glittering Celebration Dinner at the restaurant Balcon de Maria in Santa Ponsa where
Bryan was able to thank his fellow cyclists, helpers and sponsor. At the same time this enabled him to inform everyone that
the ride had raised a staggering twenty thousand euros, all to be donated to the charity Asdica (supporting young disabled
people in Calvia).

Many thanks to the sponsors which made Bryans charity ride so worthwhile – Adjuntement de Calvia, Pinmar, Ticket Agency, Tolo’s Restaurant, Frux Private
Bank, Secure Trade, Calvia Vet, Arash Rentals, Jaggy Thistle Pub , TipTop, and Physicool.

PARTY-PARTY, AND LUNCH GOES ON AND ON!

Another Sunday - another Barbecue Lunch at Kirk and Kays home - with enough food and drink to sink a Battleship, the
party duo once again keep their repuation safe as the top party-party hosts in Portals.
