Who’s Who at Surreal: 7 Nightlife Report Interviews

Four new conversations from the deck of Surreal by VIIBZ in Long Beach, plus three from our archive. Same rule as always: we print only the words we can hear on the tape.

By Anthony Perlas · Nightlife Report · Shoreline Marina, Long Beach, Calif.

LONG BEACH, Calif. — Surreal by VIIBZ was an invite-only, Halloween-inspired night aboard a private yacht at Shoreline Marina on Friday, Oct. 23. Our host was Andrea Riedelsheimer (@andrea_riedelsheimer_lmft), aboard her own yacht. Trevor Salse (@mrviibz) of VIIBZ (@viibzevents, @viibzco) set the music and, by every account on our tape, the vibes. We brought a camera. Here’s who we met, followed by three interviews you may have missed. For the full night, read our field report: Have You Been Invited? Inside Surreal, an Invite-Only Yacht Night in Long Beach.

Part one: on the deck at Surreal

1. Stacy Pannetti, model (@stacy.pannetti)

Stacy Pannetti introduced herself to the camera, then spelled her handle for us letter by letter. It was her first time aboard one of these yacht nights, though not her first time working with the crew. Her read on the theme: a Surreal yacht Halloween photo shoot “to bring out the darkest side of everyone.” Her verdict on the series:

“What can I say? It’s hard to stay away.”

Why it works, in her words: “It’s about gathering the right people, you know, and interacting with, you know, people that have the same passion as you, whether it’s for fashion, photography, entertainment, you name it.” She has been modeling for about seven years and didn’t start out expecting to. “No, actually, funny story, I was the ugly duckling, or so I thought. I was the athlete of my family,” she said, until a first photo shoot left her completely nervous. What turned it around was the team: “the hair artist, the makeup artist, and the photographer.”

“It just made it feel very comfortable and natural to express this side of me that I wasn’t really aware of, but I’m so grateful for it.”

2. Maddie May, model, Los Angeles (@maddiemay23)

“I am a model based in Los Angeles,” Maddie May told us on the dock, in a sequined captain’s cap with the harbor lights behind her. Her favorite LA night isn’t a club. It’s a Hollywood spot she called Desert 5: “It’s kind of like a country bar, so I wear a cowboy hat and get dressed up, but just a regular, like, Thursday night.”

“I’m doing events all around L.A. and SoCal.”

3. Fabi, bartender

Every private party needs a pro behind the bar. At Surreal it was Fabi, who did his interview in a black eye mask. “I’ve been bartending for about 12 to 14 years now,” he said. He runs a weekend mobile bartending business with “a crew of four other bartenders.” How he got the gig: “Every time she has an event, she does offer me the opportunity to bartend her events. Andrea is the owner of the yacht.”

“We provide an excellent service for you.”

Editor’s note: we’re still confirming the business name and handle Fabi gave on camera, and we’ll add them once they’re verified.

4. Alana, runway

We caught Alana on the deck at dusk. Our host asked about her work with runway model agencies and admitted, “I see you everywhere.” Her answers were recorded quietly on deck, so this one leans on the questions. The camera crew had a verdict anyway: “We got some pretty awesome shots.”

5. Sofie SanFilippo, music artist and creator (@sofiesanfilippo)

On the record in Beverly Hills: the TikTok creator rode with us through the city, shot with us on Rodeo Drive and told us how she grew an audience. Her one-line secret: “It was really just being consistent.” Read it: 4.6 Million on TikTok, and She’s Just Getting Started.

6. Casey Lee Parker, designer, Krown Kink (@caseyleeparker1, @krownkink)

On camera at the Bureau’s LA Fashion Week Opening, the designer behind the label the Instagram bio calls a “Luxury Fashion House designed by Casey Lee Parker.” Read it: EXCLUSIVE: Inside Krown Kink with Casey Lee Parker.

7. Jacqueline “Nami Mami” Laurito, model (@nami.m0mmy)
