Dinosaurs



So, Ben and I were looking for location to shoot our editorial for Lutefisk . . . one of the places that we consider was just off the freeway at the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum . . .
Well, they had giant metal dinosaurs!!!
It was really cool . . . but I thought . . . with the freeway so close to it . . . it's too busy and distracting????
But, the dinosaurs were awesome!!!!!

Boy Casting DFW



Kyle, 18 (Kim Dawson)
Cute and he was in the range of age that we were looking for . . . but I just get pass those caterpillar eyebrows???
Great body . . . too wholesome for me . . .



Chaise, 23 (Kim Dawson) . . . great face . . . but a bit old for us . . . quite intimidating his face . . . which would have been great for the shoot . . . wished that he was 17!
Great style . . . you can tell he's been to NYC . . . but I thought it was too much for Dallas . . . too over the top . . . I felt like he was just dressing up for us . . . which I love!



Keaton, 18 (Page Parkes) . . . we ended up picking this boy from Plano, Texas.
Very handsome and adorable . . . Yea . . . he's a bit All-American . . . but his big blue eyes and body and age . . . well, it was really no brainer!

Marilyn @ Gramercy Hotel





My last night here in NYC and went briefly to the Marilyn Models Party . . .
Had fun for an hour . . . got to see how models unwind and drink and play pool . . .
Eniko was goofing around the pool table and Adriana Lima was swooned by over eager admirers!!
Then I guess, the equivalent of the Trinity of now (Ali Stephens, Toni Garrn and Arlenis Sosa) was in attendance . . . I couldn't get Arlenis to be in the pix . . . but she's was there!
Ahh . . . what a fitting end to my coverage of NY Fashion Week!
Now, back to work!
PS: Many thanks to David Souza . . . I think none of this coverage wouldn't be existing if it wasn't for his generosity!!! Muchas Gracias!!!

Tory Burch





Don't call it a comeback!
Guess who made an appearance at the Tory Burch Presentation . . . none other than Mr. Lady Love himself!
It's only fitting that Cintia Dicker . . . is making her comeback in NY fashion scene!
Thanks again to David Souza for taking the pix!

MIchael Kors





Backstage at the Michael Kors show at the tents . . .

Narciso Rodriguez






Backstage at Narciso Rodriguez . . . thanks to David Souza again for the pix!
I love Erin Heatherton with the weird glasses and the big wigs of modeling crowded around . . . I swear, I think all these girls are like barely legal!

Marc by Marc Jacobs


As a consolation price for not going to the Marc Jacobs show last night . . . I did end up going to the Marc by Marc Jacobs this afternoon . . . and I am so grateful for David Souza for giving up his spot to get my ass in to see the show!
Couldn't go backstage to get pix . . . cuz I wanted a good spot to shoot the show . . .

Waiting backstage . . . I bumped into Marc Jacob's "third world" muse, Bryanboy!
Yes, my fellow filipino comrade . . . it's funny how no one knew him and he was by himself . . . perfect opportunity to shoot him . . . of course, this betch will give you ferosh if there's a camera around!



The boys were gorgeous . . . I think most of them are European . . .
PS: I'd asked one boy to take a pix . . . and he said, that he's smoking a cigarette . . . and "not now!" DIVA!!!!




















The show started pretty much on time . . . and it was short and sweet . . . I love the those color block leggings . . . I know my angle isn't the greatest but believe me . . . it's a must have!!!
PS: I swear . . . when the editors and the buyers were skuttling in to get to their seats . . . there were a lot of empty seats around . . . being so strict at the door . . . although there were a lot of interns around!!!







After the show . . . I ran out to go backstage and taken pix of the models exiting the show . . .
I swear, I think Sasha thinks I'm her stalker!!!!
But, she remembered me from being backstage . . . so she gave me a big o' smile!!!
God, what a day!!!
Wish I could have gone to the Rodarte show . . . then it would have been a better day!!! hehehe
