For some Angelenos over 30, finding a place to go out on a weekend without dealing with loud, crowded clubs and tacky bars has become nothing less than night life's holy grail. Increasingly, many are even willing to pay annual dues for the privilege of a semi-private experience via members clubs such as Soho House. But lately, Soho House has become too busy and loud for a certain swath of drinkers, leaving precious few options for Westside socialites. Enter the bohemian private rooftop club and Butterfly Bar at West Hollywood's Petit Ermitage Hotel.

Last week, interior designer Amanda Masters alighted, ever so briefly, on an Ultrasuede banquette built into the circular sunken living room in a 1990s Mt. Olympus McBachelor Pad. The clock was ticking relentlessly. Masters had just six more days and a budget of about $250,000 to transform the 10,000-square-foot home into an Oscar-week-only version of Soho House, the London-based private club for the film and media elite.

Brit-born Cat Deeley is back as host of the Fox hit "So You Think You Can Dance," now in its seventh season, but her experience with the show hasn't done much to improve her own floor skills. "No, not at all — I'm terrible," said the 33-year-old former model. "I ought to try nudging up against them to see if some of their talent rubs off on me. But one thing that has grown is my appreciation of dancers. When I was a child, I used to be taken occasionally to the ballet or to see 'The Nutcracker' at Christmas, but I had never taken a proper interest in dancing until I started doing the show, and I think a lot of people watching at home feel the same way. Once in a while there is a performance in which everything is just so right that something magical happens.
