Shout out To Toyin!!

Toyin is gifted photographer, who has an eye. She loves to shoot gorgeous boys, and pretty young things, but what's different about her photos is the how she captivates beauty in an unadulterated way. I had the good fortune of meeting her when I lived in London. She came over to the states, and we got to work together for JANE magazine. We shot these up in the hills somewhere in Cali (since I'm an east coast girl I have no clue where we were)
it was definitely one of the more fun shoots that I have been on. She's cool to work with and great to be around. I am so elated that Toyin and I have found each other again!
The greater world has yet to know of her incredible talents.

Tesla - The best kept secret

"Every ponderable atom is differentiated from a tenuous fluid, filling all space merely by spinning motion, as a whirl of water in a calm lake. By being set in movement this fluid, the ether, becomes gross matter. Its movement arrested, the primary substance reverts to its normal state. It appears, then, possible for man through harnessed energy of the medium and suitable agencies for starting and stopping ether whirls to cause matter to form and disappear.

At his command, almost without effort on his part, old worlds would vanish and new ones would spring into being. He could alter the size of this planet, control its seasons, adjust its distance from the sun, guide it on its eternal journey along any path he might choose, through the depths of the universe. He could make planets collide and produce his suns and stars, his heat and light; he could originate life in all its infinite forms. To cause at will the birth and death of matter would be man’s grandest deed."

-Nikola Tesla

What a genius. That's why they shut him down.

RIP MAKALA

Rest in peace to our dear lady Makala. She was the greatest of ALL dogs. I feel weird even calling her a dog... she was a person.
She lived a really amazing life, travelled to more countries than most people, and she had more friends than most people. we all loved her. She was and always will be part of us, my love goes out to Terry, Ruby, Tripoli, Matisse, Jake, and the collective Patterson family. I love you guys.

Makala... see you on the other side girl.

CELEBRATE HIS LIFE

FLASH DANCING

Pia asked me this summer to do a shoot that she was orchestrating with photographer Angela Boatwright. The whole day was amazing, everyone who was involved was awesome. Harley vera-Newton, Rachel Chandler, Rachel Ballinger and myself were the models. All the clothes were drool worthy, Emlie Kareh from jalouse and french vogue styled the shoot. Stacie gave us rock star hair. Masha made us beautiful ( I always LOVE when she does my make up, She understands my face ) I loved shooting with Angela she's lots of fun and very relaxing to pose in front of , especially when you're wearing a super high cut micro thong bodysuit. lol. No time to be modest. Oh- and Alicia killed it with these crazy nails. I wore them for days afterwords, She's the best manicurist ever, She's even a favorite of model Miranda Kerr . Shout out to everyone else involved.
And extra thanx to miss Pia who organized such a dope shoot.
