Photos to Come!!!

So...after an extremely tiring and emotional weekend - we shot!

My one photographer, Scott Mack, has a new studio/work space that like has one huge perk - awesome backdrops for shooting.

He was shooting with this brand new model, Leann, who turns out - I went to grammar school with! Small world. Those shots were looking kick ass, moody punk rock.

Me and my other model, Megan, got there at the same time and it was a go. We were looking to do three looks.

The photos, without editing, were looking amazing and I'm stoked on getting these images all set and sent to me to show to the world. It was dramatic, polished and fun!

Here's some sneak peeks.

The make-up table and see the flash spot? The would be me hiding behind the light.



I thought she looked like a super hero.



Our photographer tries new angles



Fixing the lighting or something. Megan's excited to be locked in the elevator wearing an outfit some other girl should have worn for something cool, but we'll keep that secret locked in the elevator

Almost the end...

So, I'm not going to be over dramatic or 'woe is me' or whatever. But I was just in an accident and completely wrecked my car. It's dead. The front is smashed in and there's a huge dent in the side.

I was driving on a major highway, middle lane, clear day, normal amount of traffic, doing 70mph, no loud radio, but heavy thoughts about recent friends were on my mind.

So.

The car on my left was trying to change lanes, I moved over (swerved, whatever you want to say) and lost control. I think the car on the right side of me hit me and that's what sent me spinning.

Bashed into the guard rail and thank God I'm fine. Two huge bruises and though it hurts, doesn't seem my nose is broken.

Scary to think how quickly things could be over.

Next Week!!!




AWESOMENESS!

I am BEYOND STOKED about next Tuesday when the new issue of Glam Rock Magazine goes online. YAY!

We did an awesome shoot for this feature in the magazine and I was SO fortunate to be able to work with so many talented people on this project (hell! I've had the great fortunate of being surrounded by tons of talented artists on so many of the projects I've done).

Anyways...keep an eye out for it. You'll love the shots we created. Oh and how cool - I'm first on the list of all the lovely people featured in the magazine. heehee, I'm kinda all smiles on that.

Barrie Blau, Nicole Gevirtz, Vikka Nox, Alien Baby & Kami...those ladies are kick ass beyond belief.

New Interview & Irony




Cool! My interview with Jeffree Star was posted online. Check it out - it was kind of hard writing b/c I'm not use to doing articles outside the Q&A format.

The Aquarian - Jeffree Star

So anyways...it's funny b/c right now the movie 'To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar.'

Why is this relevant?

Well, the opening bit is a drag pagent and it's at Webster Hall. Know what it reminded me of? One of the greatest fashion shows ever thrown there - New York Couture!

Jeffree has modeled for the line, so it comes full circle.


Updates to follow!

And the Countdown Begins!

OMG! It's June! When did that happen?

I'm now in full 'got to get fashion show pieces together' mode. I'm doing the second Reflections Project fashion/art/culture event this fall. SO excited! Check it out for getting your tickets early, VIP baby! www.ReflectionProject.com

But that means I got to get everything together and in a timely manner. No last minute things!

So I'm planning on updating this thing on the regular, like 4 times a week with ramblings, video blogs and sneak peaks of what's to come.

Aren't you excited?

So for the first of June...I give you photos I've been sitting on for a minute. So pretty!

Your Love Is My Drug

So....just watched this.

Kesha = bad

But I like this song and usually I don't talk about things I want to go away, but I have one comment -

If she had come out with this song and video before "Tik Tok" and all her non-sense...would have liked her A TON more. Just saying

90's Alternative

www.BigRRadio.com

OMG! What is this? I am on the evils of evil iTunes and in the radio option of the program.

I got sick of the industrial/techno stations and the punk rock station is talk right now, so I click on 90's Alternative or another.

Like all in a row, I've had Blink's "Dammit," Arrested Development's "Mr. Wendel," Everclear and now Beck's "Loser." I mean, add in a few more, b/c it's been an hour since I started with this.

This makes me happy! However, I just went to the website and there's an image of Kesha - wtf? I guess they cater to other listeners with other streams available, but this one is stellar.

I hadn't been a rock fan during the mid-90's, which is what I'm getting right now, I was more into hip-hop and boybands. But as I've been learning my rock music of late, I know all these songs.

So. Now I wish I was back in the 90's - same age, same music taste, same look, only experiencing these songs as they first came out and live. dude.
