A Valentine’s Day homage to 80’s excess, glam-rock melodrama, and the catharsis of belting power ballads to the rafters. Guests arrived to a feast worthy of a backstage rider — candles blazing, florals exploding, chocolate fountain flowing —then settled in for a raucous communal sing-along to the greatest hair band music videos ever uploaded to YouTube, projected on a massive screen, the night swelling to an arena-sized chorus of unapologetic, hairspray-scented joy.
