Crazy Horse Paris
Christian Louboutin
Changes are coming to the erotic “Crazy Horse Paris” at MGM Grand. “Crazy? No. Very crazy? Yes!” one top executive told me from its French headquarters in Paris. Following in the high heels of its guest stars Dita Von Teese, Carmen Electra, Claire Sinclair and Pamela Anderson now comes the first “guest creator” in its history.
Fashion designer Christian Louboutin won’t be shedding clothes onstage, but the king of stilettos will give “CHP” a makeover. The celebrated creator of the red sole is giving his fresh interpretation of “Crazy” in Paris first before moving on to the Strip.
Christian is collaborating with director David Lynch and master musician Swizz Beatz on the music and Gilles Papain for the video on four new acts updating art masterpieces with hip hop to look at femininity in all its forms. “ ‘Crazy’ is an iconic Paris monument, a monument to dance and a fantastic celebration of women for women,” he said.
The creative venture, titled “Fire” here in Las Vegas and “Feu” in Paris, plays the French capital March 4-May 31 before heading to the Strip. I am told he is designing all new red shoes for the topless beauties, and their traditional lipsticks will change to match his trademark color.
Additionally, I can confirm our earlier Vegas DeLuxe exclusives about the deal with the Pink Elephant Club to expand the current Crazy Horse Paris theater at MGM Grand by a quarter of its size, opened to and moving more into the casino. The gorgeous dancers will have their early evening showcase in a larger, yet more intimate, nightclub theater, and then be incorporated in the changeover to the wild Pink Elephant from South America.
Expect plans to be officially set within the month, when final contracts are signed and then announced for the fall transformation.
