GOTHAM BLONDE, GLITTERBALL, LOVE CULTURE, MR. BLACK, and other assorted reasons LANDIS hasn't been blogging . . .

-

picking up where i left off.

sorry, i've been lost a bit from the blogosphere,

and not sure this is where i want to post everything.

i've been having an affair with tumblr,

and kind of feel like between that and facebook,

it may be where i head.

-

but for a trial,

for a few more weeks,

i might post here and see how it goes.

-

love you all,

just am having fun exploring new worlds.

and we all know i get a little stuck on the new.

-

so here,

a few behind the scenes shots of where i've been and what i've been up to.

-

more to come.

-

for a little while.

-

-
shooting for
gothamblonde.com
-

-
shooting the holiday campaign for Love Culture.
-

-
shooting editorials.
-

-
going out to Mr. Black's
(none of the above are me.  sadly.)
-

-
shooting in my home studio for a friend's new brand.
-

-
shooting for a friend's new nightclub opening.
(variety = spice, remember)
-

-
loving on the whole reason i started this blog,
after all.
-

MR BLACK, AGAIN.

sorry,

but there's lots of inspiration here.

LENORA CLAIRE'S BIRTHDAY AT MR BLACK, L.A. :

-

i've known lenora since the start of mr black out here,

when she came with luke and crew to be shot for the opening event work.

-

i've shot lenora for my entry into a W magazine contest

(which in hindsight, might have been a bit much for old W)

-

but i didn't really see her shine until she threw her bday bash a few weeks back

at mr black.

-

it started, of course,

with a unicorn at the door:

-

-

i love larva's tribute to the lady of the evening.

(hers were NOT real.  lenora's are.  fyi.)

-

luke was swirling up the party, per usual:

-

-

the rest of the crowd?

ranged from insane

to intangible.

you'll see:

-

-

as for me?

i spent the night as a toy soldier:

-

-

ordering tequila, neat,

from the cutest bartender i have recently shot half naked on my roof:

-

-

and catching up on gossip from ms. natascha:

-

-

happy birthday,

indeed.

-

the friendly . . . erm . . . faces of MR BLACK, L.A.

-

why do i try to get out of my routine

and haul my carcass to mr black every tuesday night?

-

i think it's because i never know whom i'll run into,

or what i'll see.

changes week to week, from ronson on the turntables to leather daddies vogueing vs. rupaul,

to adam lambert to vera wang . . .

there's always a little heartbeat  you didn't expect:

-

-

some masked stranger

(we see you, luke nero)

-

-

perhaps the wit and wisdom of mr. guy branum,

whom i adore:

-

-

or the catnip-like ability of adam to draw the young-uns in droves,

though he is our reluctant casanova, indeed :

-

-

or the joy of bringing ms. katy dickson,

fresh from new york city,

and exposing her to the sights:

-

-

darlings,

it's all in good taste.

we just like to tease y'all a bit.
