I have to return some videotapes.

last week= we finally shot the editorial that the wall st casting had been for. 3 day shoot, lots of guys in suits, lots of air conditioning to bask in whilst they shot outside in 90˚ heat.

crew....


touchups


tying the perfect power tie.


regarding the final product


"There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there. "


perfect.

do the d.a.n.c.e

tonight=marie claire magazine party at milk studios

charities were involved. for dramatic effect.


photographs of models (taken between 1980s->now) covered every inch of the walls. people covered every inch of the floor. mad crowded. ugh.


DJ-admitted "hipster"/"electronic" music played the entire time. it was hard not to dance to the same tunes i danced to last night at happy ending, but this social scene was all about self-imposed refinery.


some powerful woman at Marie Claire. how did i know her affluent position? she's wearing the most amazing dress from Chloe's latest collection. I don't believe its even in stores yet. lucky bugger.


my Laurennnnnn. whose drink matches her dress and whose face/hair matches up to daisy lowe's. (in my opinion)


another awesome (and awesomely short) dress.


faran supporting the effort to bring the alexander mcqueen scarves back. damn right i'm still wearing mine.


helena christensen being momentarily coy after receiving flowers for her work for this charity campaign.


some photographs on the wall.

oh anna....bidding was up to $750 last time i checked. she's expensive.


irina l's gorgeous doe-eyed photo.


seen/heard:
-james rousseau talking to a tinsley mortimor lookalike (and giving me a hug)
-derek blasberg posing for photos
-liya kebede looking at the photo of herself with her husband
-models mingling: chanel iman, erin heatherton

expand your mind

yesterday=wall st guys casting -> milk studios BBQ!

still needing guys for a story we're casting, the boss and i travel down to wall street's post-wall-street bar for happy hour.

its a bit creepy how many blue shirted guys were in the crowd. american psycho flashback....


the scene was so preppy even the keyhole said YALE on it

but guys were found and off to milk studios......


free beer, red bull and alcoholic-looking bottles of water. ergo a very LARGE diverse crowd.


pah-ha, not tonightt......


how to instantly look like a not-so-macho-man-when-they-tumble-off-after-clutching-the-bull-struggling-to-stay-on. and/or a drunk fool when they flash the crowd (girls mostly). seriously, bull riding is NOT sexy to me.


daria is sexy though. gorgeoussssss


and jamie burke is a stone fox. (and my camera zooms too much) (but for obvious reason!)


le owner of milk studios. super lovely. we grooved to the mexican mariachi band.


cuteeeee magnusssss


my love, my obsession and fellow camera whore/photographer, JD Ferguson. xo!


my new york version of lords of dogtown. there was scruffy, egotistical AND long blond haired boys skating. not quite emilie hirsh hot, but decent enough, for sure.


and this was today:
no work. just hanging with friends.


annex and beatrice laterrrrrrr

hang up the chick habit

today=big casting!

money. power. glamour. success. (the motto for the cab ride to the studio)


the models who couldn't show up were replaced by their books.
(and i wanted to see daisy! she and her boyfriend were epic-ly sweet to me and superfit at the CFDA costume gala in may)


there's a few reasons why she might stand out in a crowd. (speaking of things standing out....)


i love Ford.
i love the girls they use.
i LOVE that this Ford girl is wearing a gorgeous (sorry: a NINA!), unique-looking dress and its from H&M.


my new favorite girl. Alice from Ford. polished, lolita-esq, proper, prim, beautiful, wise all at the same time. serious love to Sweden.


rejectssssssssssssss


former Jane magazine (RIP) employees (aka our lovely wonderful friends/whom-we-all-lovingly-toss-around-the-word-'whores'-to) walk to the hotel where the campaign will be shot.


then lunch at bar pitti->back to work.

fun summer days.
This campaign should be fierce.

over and over

this past week:

st marks church benefit:
-where it felt like a college party and misshapes at the same time.


gold bar:
-where the gold skulls on the gold wall next to the gold paintings are ever so slightly (read-OBVIOUSLY) pirates-of-the-caribbean.


nickydigitals bday party at hiro:
-which was the closest thing i think i'll ever experience to a rave.


in other news: my hair got burned at beatrice inn last night, and misshapes should be epic tonight.

summer dayssss

ahhh we're casting h&m kids campaign which means adorable little munchkins like this girl are all i see every day now at the office. scoreeeeee


honestly, the design between the words made me think of a runway. and such the sign. perfect.


over the weekend: annex, misshapes, beatrice, sway, and beatrice again.
seen/heard--
-erin wasson wearing a questionable hat and smoking
-josh hartnett standing alone
-dash snow buying a beer

parties + working everyday means i'm basically living on coffee. and i wouldn't change it.
