DIVA DENIM TV

click below, and watch us go. . .

crap!

(how do we get away from him now? crap.)

prada, patent, perfect.

no, it's not mine. yet.

it's a sign.

literally.

ok, sorry the posts have been sporadic recently, but this is retail. and holiday is upon us. and production. and i never understood what the hell my grandfather meant when he used to say "i've been so busy i don't know my right from my left, my up from my down" because, really, how hard is it? right, left, up,down.

then, on the last shoot, i saw this.

and it was all crystal clear.

denim 2.0

a week in los angeles with :

1) another chris and lena set you want to move into
2) sexy lexi (he probably hates that, but what is he going to do? come after me?)
3) todd and nancy
4) avec's BROTHER (walked right up to me, put his paws up on my shoulders, and started licking me over and over, just like his sister does. this was before i knew they were from the same litter.)
5) the return of the diva.

all this before the big tv launch, which happens. . . tomorrow, kids!

i'm EVERYWHERE!

ok, in a valiant attempt at joining the modern age
(for those of you still figuring out how to use your tivo, you can skip this post)
i have been exploring and posting a ton of new sites.

so, you can find me now on:

MySpace
(join, and search for me. be my friend. myspace.com/landissmithers)

Facebook
(seems like the adult MySpace. join, search for me. be my. . . ok, you get it. www.facebook.com)

LinkedIn
()
it's the professional networking site, pretty cool.

so far, so fun. mainly because it has given me outlets to talk about/post pictures of/ramble about. . . myself.

and we all know how uncomfortable i am with THAT.

out in mags now, the new denim campaign

diva denim

no fireworks, just food. . .

ok, seriously, who needs fireworks and crowds and grass under your ass, when you've got these friends, tim's food, and cupcakes?

cupcakes, people, they're the "it" food right now.

more reasons to love bottega 08

ok. the last one is a reason to love male models, not so much bottega. but still. . .

natural habitat

how to spot a "landis" in his natural environment:

1) look for distictively marked bags. if any say "barney's", the landis is in overdrive.

2) though urban in nature, a landis may also appear at flea markets, but only near urban centers.

3) beware end of season sales. and pre-season trunk shows. and anytime in-between.

and remember. never, NEVER approach a landis mid-transaction. you could lose a finger.

DADDY!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!

(freddy visits. puppies seriously concerned about daddy's priorities. news at eleven.)

truly. . .

is there anything in life that a woven suede and alligator intrecciato bag can't cure?

too bad we have to wait for spring. and by "we", i mean me.

gay pride, brunch edition

off to todd's place over in bernal heights for a little brunch after two hours sleep from the night before. . . i think we held up pretty well. didn't hurt that he had that whole wall of jenny holzer artwork right when you walked in. . . i swear he's lucky i'm not a violent man.

he'd wake up in a pool of frittata, missing some VERY valuable word art. . .

do we love? the color?

just thinking vesper might need a cooler color.
(vesper is the new car, for those of you not keeping up.)

living room, june

one pensive little afternoon, end of june.

they grow so FAST

seriously, the little one is almost as big as the big one . . . worried? no, not us. NOT AT ALL.

THESE:

want these. now.

week two, whew. . .

now that SEPTEMBER is in the can. . .
i can breathe for a few weeks.

that's right, kids. 'cause holiday is right around the corner.

this, i miss.

on the road this long,
i have to remember the color of his eyes
and put it with the sound of his voice on the phone.

the history of love, a quote

read this yesterday:

"yesterday i saw a man kicking a dog. i don't know what to call this, a place before tears."

flawless.

week one, done

just wrapped the second of the fall tv spots.
back to back days of models and motion control
(which, no, evelyn,
models and motion control do not have anything to do with each other.
and it is not tantric.
although matt the tatt does look good in those mirrors, don't he?)

arni and kinski, the icelandic directors
(i love that word: icelandic
it's impossible to say out loud
without really using your whole mouth.
try it.
ice lan dic.
shut UP, evelyn.)
were the best,
seriously the most collaborative and inventive i've worked with.
there is something to be said with developing relationships with a team
of really talented people.

and the models were in top form, and nina was back again. . . sigh, j'adore.

and i say j'adore because she's french, so it's ok, that's why.

we even had another litter of pit puppies to match print,
but no,
i resisted this time and did not bring another one back to my hotel room.

it MIGHT have had something to do
with something tim said about "two is enough"
and "leaving" me. . .
but i like to think it was merely self restraint.

next week, print. and several lovely days in dark editing bays. whee.

of course, did take today down and lay by the pool.

so, no, i can't complain. . .
