One of my two all-time favourite photographs by the immeasurable Jan Saudek, is called "Oh! Those Fabulous Brom Sisters!" and pictured here.
Now, as an ode to the great Saudek, I give you (and him) this.
22x28 (not counting frame,) Acrylic, some silver and gold oil in details.…

...and I got there late (had to work.
)
Dirty South gave away the last of the shirts I desperately wanted, and only got a few shots out before, well, before everyone's multiple toasts really kicked in.
Here's what I got, if you weren't there!…

Lots of updates, so bear with me here, most recent first!
Bella Blue of Fleur de Tease fame just completed her first formal (posed) photoshoot with myself 10/27/08, with male model Derek, and makeup by Natalie. I went for flesh-colored with minimal background, after all, typical Vampire shoots are all black-and-white, uninspired clothing, and usually only one decent-looking model of the two. That's not what I did.
I wanted it WARM, because, well, passion…

Left 1:30 am Friday, encountered NO traffic, and NO gas-station troubles, and went straight 15 hours to Des Moines, IA, arriving about 6:30 pm Saturday.
Parents (who live in Houma) left this Saturday, heading North as well.
Pals of mine that left Saturday at 11am took about 14 hours for the usual 6-hour ride to Auburn, AL, spending nearly 6 hours to make the usual '1st hour' worth of driving which put them at Biloxi, MS.
F***, I hope it doesn't hit my parents'…

A little-known fact : Tatu has indeed played an American show, but only one, at the campus at Santa Barbara, on March 6th, 2008 (coincidentally, my birthday!)
After a smooth soundcheck, and a warm welcome from the Santa Barabara Russian Club, the band met a furiously excited, packed house, and the band gave that energy right back at them. Performing both singles and album-favourites, it was a landmark show for American fans.
Finally, here…

With a 24-hour delay from a Hurricane that swept through my exact path, I'm packed up, errand-free, and leaving within six hours of this message.
With a lot of work in New Orleans ahead of me, and burning CDs for the long (30-hour) trip ahead of me, I'm driving straight through.
Yep, STRAIGHT through.
See you in the Irish bars!

Mind you, my car's A/C had broken shortly before the trip, but couldn't get it fixed.
Highlights :
Had to delay the trip 24 hours, due to Hurricane Edouard (or YouTard, as I call it,) ending smack in the middle of the I-10, when, as scheduled, I'd be 6 hours from crossing it. The problem wouldn't be so much as the dying storm itself, as the residual flooding, debris on the highway, bad drivers in rain/water, etc.
Leaving after a 2-hour map and a huge dinner at…

After the interest from Suicide Girls wanting Khamera and not knowing who in the hell I was, we figured to go ahead and shoot anyway.
I actually woke up early, one good scouted location led to several in the immediate area, and she showed up looking exactly as I'd have wanted, as if I'd given her a 10-page description beforehand.
Aside from the occasional passer-by car, and down-the-block surly vagrant, we were largely…

Fleur de Tease is a premiere Variety Burlesque Revue. This modern twist on a classic vaudeville show has something to please and tease every audience member. Magicians, fire eaters, comedians, aerialists and of course beautiful burlesque dancers all make up the core members of the troupe. Special guest artists such as sword swallowers, singers, and other circus acts make each show a unique and different experience so no two…

We would sometimes call it 'cut-throat,' sometimes 'King of the Hill,' but let's face it, we thought, sabotage it was, 'Sabotage' it should be.
At the time, I knew Gio for about two decades, and the Library of Congress itself could not contain the blackmail we had on each other, the thick of it in our respective cortexes for quick filing, and easy recall, if necessary.
We never settled on who started it, we never settled on a winner, nor did we ever settle on so much as…

Money Shot (Hard Case Crime) Christa Faust
From Publishers Weekly
Retired from her life as a porn star, Angel Dare now owns Daring Angels, a high-class adult modeling agency. Life as a desk jockey is pretty predictable until an underfed foreign girl named Lia shows up asking to contact one of Angel's models. Before Angel can figure out what the girl really wants, Lia makes a hasty exit through the bathroom window. Next thing she knows,… Continue
