where i've really been -

vegas. glamour? gambling?

no, not exactly.

it was staging fashion shows, last minute late night editing of behind the scenes videos of the tv shoot videos, running around to breakout sessions, middle and sub-middle america slot machine avoidance, "high" rollers in really bad jewelry and hair scarier than patti labelle's new wig collection, tons of super high energy field employees filled with info and requests, evelyn, tim, todd and i keeping each other sane, todd oldham meeting greeting, lots of everyone trying to convince me not to leave (no specific reason, they're just nervous), shopping, evelyn's bday at bouchon, red alligator patent leather booties, not sleeping, more patterned carpet than a empire carpet commercial, followed by rain delays, and flying back to san jose, not san francisco.

so, light.

the exquisite stillness

that falls between takes:


(sam saffman, matt loewen, and zoe havler, on pause.
or, as zoe put it "god, how riveted do we look?")

BACK OFF -

i have meticulously gathered EVERY toy in the house and lain them around me like spoils of war. do not even think of picking one up/edging towards one/making a move.


for then i will be forced to chase you down, tug it away from you, and return to my lair.

ok, when did this happen?

i must have been drinking. when did the klum get all. . . you know. . .

stunning and not random?

color, pt.2

yummy. from think pink to bloo. . . i wanna wear it all.

i think it's a metaphor for los angeles:

it's young. and it's dead.

bit by bit

putting it together. connie, richard and sara looking at motion tests for graphics:


richard, siggi, and stephan (the directors) between takes on day two:


me, and fresh air for the first time in six hours, day three:

it's spring. it's hermes. let's review:

so gaultier staged the spring runway for hermes on friday. i think it was friday. i was traveling. anyway. . . i think it's critical to do a quick recap and gently guide you before you launch into purchasing. you have a few months before they hit retail, so get your pens ready.

ok. first, lacquered crocodile and enameled bangles in color?

check:



second, very glossy, very stiff lacquered croc and calf birkins?

do i even need to say it?:



crocodile riding boots? in pink?

yes. please:


elaborate leather turbans with belt thingies attached to them?

um, no. unless alexis and chrystal are planning on a throw down in my fountain anytime soon. then, yes. give me two:
