Tea at the Beatrice with Glenn O'Brien is a captivating show that features the experiences of the late legendary journalist, television host, and writer, Glenn O'Brien. The Made to Measure (M2M) series follow the charismatic and humorous journalist, as he invites his favorite notable guests to his private apartment at the trendy Beatrice Inn, located in Manhattan's West Village.

This cozy and intimate program is a unique approach to talk shows as it explores a candid and personal approach to interviews, combined with the ambiance of the apartment's unique atmosphere, lighting, and classic furniture. The sets' decor provides a great mix of modern and vintage elements, making for a comfortable environment to discuss topics that range from fashion, art, street culture, music, and so much more.

The host, Glen O'Brien, was known for his in-depth knowledge of fashion, having worked as a fashion editor for publications such as Interview Magazine, and GQ. This show was a perfect fit for his personality and talent, as he used his charm and wit to engage each of his guests, while they sipped tea and exchanged anecdotes from their lives.

Some notable guests in the series show the program's flexibility, to welcome famous artists, models, actors, and even political actors, which makes for a unique experience in terms of the diversity of the show's topics and guests. Some of the stars that graced the show include the iconic supermodel Gisele Bündchen, who has contributed significantly to the fashion industry's evolution.

Gisele Bündchen shared insights about her modelling career, including the experiences that led her to become one of the most well-known models today. She detailed her path to success and revealed some of the models whom she drew inspiration from, such as Kate Moss.

The show felt more like a relaxed conversation between two friends than a traditional interview, which helped reveal a lot about both of the guests. It was refreshing to see these two icons share their experiences as equals, with the host's questions serving only to prompt further discussion and better understanding.

Overall, Tea at the Beatrice with Glen O'Brien was a groundbreaking show that offered viewers a glimpse into the world of fashion, art, culture, and beyond from the comfort of an apartment in the heart of Manhattan.
