Way back in 2009 I had an amazing shoot with French Photographer Lise Sarfati for the photo series, ‘On Hollywood’. I have quit smoking since (yay me!), but the effect of the photo itself is striking and phenomenal. Like something out of a of an old Italian film. I am VERY proud of this photo.
I just found out it got featured in the New York Times photo editorial (jaw dropping)! HUGE thank you to Robert Kenney for finding this for me online (shameless plug, check his photo work of ME at http://www.RobertKenney.info )
In case you are unaware of Lise Sarfati, new to the arts or interested in learning more here is a little info on her.
Lise is Internationally renowned photographer who has done fashion campaigns which have appeared in Vogue, has shown her photos around the world and more recently in the Louvre Carousel and the Rose Gallery in Venice/Santa Monica. Most importantly is a she is key artist in the photography world.
Bill Murray is after all a ‘serious’ actor now. Ever since ‘Lost in Translation’, we lost Bill Murray. That sweet, sideways smile, dirty mouth, quippy one-lining kind of guy has set sail.
Thankfully, we still have Akroyd. Dan Akroyd had partied with Humpty AND Tupac in the 90s. He has written, produced and played some of the most amazing characters in cinema history, including Elwood Blues. The man is a genius;
I will give Akroyd the benefit of my doubt. He is dedicated, slightly funky, a genuine classy weirdo and I appreciate that.
When I heard they were doing a ‘Ghostbusters 3’, I admit to cringing REALLY HARD. I seem to be having my childhood bastardized. ‘Dukes of Hazard, ‘Love Boat’. What is next? Rigggggghtht ‘Beverly Hills Cop 20” with Eddie Murphy (desperate). Maybe they should do a ‘Kojak’ movie next. Ugh.
I think if anyone can save this, Akroyd can. After all he got Digital Underground to be in, ‘Nothing But Trouble’. He does have swagger.
Here is a small excerpt of an Interview with Akroyd from Metro.co.uk;
M: Is Ghostbusters 3 finally happening?
D: Yes, we’ve got a brilliant new writer on it and we’ll be passing the torch on to a new generation. We’re working on it to make it just right to satisfy our fans. I’m confident we’ll be in production in the next year.
M:It’s been a long process, hasn’t it?
D: Yes, but now we’ve got the studio on side. We’ve tried a few concepts which weren’t right but now we’ve got a good structure and will make it happen.
M: Is Bill Murray doing it?
D: No, I can tell you he won’t be involved.
M: How do you feel about that?
D: It’s sad but we’re passing it on to a new generation. Ghostbusters 3 can be a successful movie without Bill. My preference would be to have him involved but at this point he doesn’t seem to be coming and we have to move on. It’s time to make the third one.
Will Ferrel is a non-stop genius and full of dry wit, sarcasm and he most definitely has the biggest….funny gene ever.
Ha! Fooled you.
I have been talking about the break up, tryst, bumping uglies of Kristen Stewart TOO much for my liking. I thought I would freshen the air with a little hilarity. Here is Will Ferrel and Conan making fun of the break up/cheating scandal.
I recently stumbled across a few campaign videos for fashion companies. I love the vivid new market of video that draws you in and makes you a fashion addict.
Odd models playing chess in Prada while looking sexy in full winter jackets (how do they do that?!) seems boring when saying it. But, no! Fast moving images, stoic supermodels, fierce makeup, perfume, jewelry, sharp imagery, art form. YES!
I’m sold…Video by mad GENIUS Steven Meisel of course
Unkle Karl, you and Choupette need to lay off the champagne bonbons.
You are indeed one of the top, jaded designers in the world. I admire you greatly but the bitchfest must stop.
Poor Pippa Middleton was dissed by the emperor of fashion, Karl Lagerfeld.
As unattractive as this photo below may be, Pippa is still stunning. Her booty is all the rage and a celebrity of it’s own in the UK. Sadly, Unkle Karl feels that her booty is all she should show.
According to the quasi-newspaper the Sun, Lagerfeld was quoted as saying;
“Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette and she is the right girl for that boy. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, her sister struggles. I don’t like the sister’s face. She should only show her back.”
Unlike when he got nasty saying the singer ‘Adele’ was a little too fat in the face, no apology has been issued.
Last time ‘Adele’ received a ton of Chanel bags as an apology. Think Pippa might get some swag? I doubt it.
However if Unkle Lagerfeld IS feeling generous I suggest he send something to show off her butt. The male population will be ever-so grateful. We must, after all, emphasize the ‘positive’.
Diva, Goddess and Fashion Designer Kami Shade. Recently gracing the pages of W Magazine (featuring her black one piece swimsuit) she is an emerging designer with an amazing presence and defining eye. She brings swaths of sequined material to life in a unique way that is both wicked and fun. More importantly totally wearable.
I was recently invited to attend a private and exclusive, invite-only show at Eden Hollywood. Eden Hollywood if you have not been is VERY exclusive. Being an SBE venue gives it an edge that makes an interior designers dream. Add Kami Shade designs and it was an enviable evening.
Eden Hollywood Ceiling Lamps. I was trying to be arty.
Check in was at 9:30 pm. Being media means that you don’t get to waltz in anytime. I did get there early with my roomie and luckily got to see some of the girls pre-show and take a photo or two.
Can I just say they are superstar’s. Between fitting the models, getting them all in air and make up and making sure everyone was happy and organized they were a cut above the rest.
We eventually were led back into the back area/VIP lounge where 2 of Kami’s assistants were working with the models.
While they took care of technical issues, i.e. the girls and I got to socialize a bit. The people working with Kami are astounding and generally greatly amusing….in a good way of course.
I also got to goof with some of the models.
Not all models are brainless and stuck up. In fact contrary to most of the (jealous) populations belief they are ridiculous and fun like the rest of us. (I hear the echo of a ‘Just Like Us’ article here)
UNLESS, they are working. Hair and make up is a must for runway so sit still….
Because if you move you could lose an eye darlings.
After make-up the back bathroom becomes full of girls trying out fits for best fit and Kami’s assistant were super stars while Kami worked with SBE on getting the runway show ready.
She was also super sweet about letting me take a full Diva picture of her. Talented and sexy!
I have to tell you it is incredibly tempting to jump in and help, or try on the clothes. But being a professional I managed to just hang out and not steal clothes like a backstage thief with the bombshells wearing Kami Shade and enjoy the evening instead.
It is interesting to watch the havoc at a runway show. It goes from social hour to run, jump and shake a tail feather. The havoc is amazing and the energy crackles backstage. It is straight 0 to 200 mph and there is no way not to love the chaos. It’s just pure fashion at it’s best.
I have to apologize to Kami for not covering her complete show as there was an issue with SBE club security not letting me out to view what I was covering. However I do have to thank David Bever at for the photos from the runway. They are fabulous.

The best pat of Kami Shade’s fashion show for me though was seeing that she gives back. After the show Kami let the girls take a piece home. A real rarity for a designer and the best way to pay the models back for their hard work. And it was a fray!
Cat fighting models trying to claim the outfits.
Kami Shade deserves major props. Not just for creating a line for women that are gorgeous, sexy with lines that define the body perfectly, but for all her hard work.
Kami Shade is indeed an emerging artist to watch, admire and buy from. Her work is powerful, trendy and grabs the eye. She does make clothing custom, so if you think ‘it won’t fit’, it will. She’s talented like that.
An exhausted Kami Shade and Diva D closed out the night with some high fashion looks.
Well played Kami Shade. I look forward to future shows and seeing you rise to the top
