Before Instagram, influencers and camera phones recorded every party, there were people who moved through the world of celebrity with the stories staying firmly inside the room.
And then there was Liz Brewer.
This week on The Gen-X-Perience Podcast, Stacey Jackson and Roy Basnett are joined by legendary society insider, event organiser and etiquette expert Liz Brewer for a gloriously unfiltered journey through celebrity culture, high society and some of the most extravagant parties of the 1980s and beyond.
Liz has spent decades surrounded by rock stars, royalty, billionaires and international society figures. Unsurprisingly, she has a story about almost everyone.
There is the infamous bare photograph taken on Richard Branson’s private island, skiing adventures with Ivana Trump, encounters with David Bowie and Elton John, and extraordinary memories involving Adnan Khashoggi, his family and one of the most famous superyachts in the world.
Liz also looks back at her role in pioneering nightlife in Portugal, which eventually led to The Sun accusing her of having “single-handedly ruined the Algarve.”
Not everyone can claim that particular achievement.
Together, Liz, Stacey and Roy explore a world before social media, when parties were private, celebrities could misbehave without instantly going viral and discretion was an essential part of moving through high society.
There are royal encounters, fabulous friendships, glamorous holidays, outrageous parties and enough name-dropping to fill several society columns.
Liz also reflects on how fame, etiquette and celebrity culture have changed, and whether today’s carefully managed world has lost some of the spontaneity, glamour and sheer fun of the past.
For anyone fascinated by 1980s nostalgia, British high society, celebrity stories, Richard Branson, David Bowie, Elton John, Ivana Trump or the wonderfully excessive world that existed before Instagram, this episode offers a front-row seat.
So pour something sparkling, imagine your name is on the guest list and join us for a glimpse inside a world where the parties were legendary and the stories were even better.
This is Liz Brewer: Bare on Branson’s Island | Ep12 S02.
