she's taking the marlow and daughters principles on the road upstate for bee keeping and chicken cooping IRL....but before the farm girl time, she'll be dancing and sparkling in the way that only she do.

ontop of bestE best fun we've got a brilliant dj line up for all your ass shaking, booty dropping delight!

a little at a time..

i know i've been slacking on my updates here, it's just that i've been terribly busy+barely home as of late...but i want to let you know about two very exciting things that are happening this week.

1. a photograph of mine (of chris grassi, shot at the madonna inn last fall) was chosen to be included in the Humble Arts Group Show #36....(+given that i've applied to it a few times, it's beyond FANTASTIC to finally have been chosen!!)
+


2.EXPOSURE opens tomorrow at THIS los angeles..
it's a group show full of wonderful work and great boobies...the show was put together by the dear+talented magda wosinska in accordance with the launch of her (super radical) book BITE IT YOU SCUM...see more on her in this great interview on camerabag.tv


i have to say i am lucky enough to have a great crew of friends who not only model for me (constantly!) but were endlessly helpful in the preparation for this show.. critiquing+editing (mi senor, mercedez, rachel, chris+all the csf-ers at pete van leeuwen's bbq a month ago or so), tirelessly contributing to the retouching, printing+layout (xabi), and last but certainly not least-my amazing LA hosts (suzanne+orlando) for bringing a little OCD to the hanging process...cause had i been left to my own devices-it's likely that this jazz would've been jauntily leveled;)
THANK YOU DANKE MERCI GRACIAS FOREVER ALL!!


anyhoo..if you are in LA tomorrow, please come to the opening...it will be followed by an extremely awesome afterparty at magda's casa...+if you can't make it-the show will be up for a few weeks..so stop by during opening hours..

especially since it's gonna be my last brooklyn night out for awhile! cedez, xabi+i are taking the tarlow family volvo up to mass this weekend for our gal kaia's wedding, then monday they're dropping me in boston to go westward..as lady turner and i are headed out to stay at the chateau to work on a little somethingsomething--will fill you in when i am contractually allowed to divulge..i've got a one way ticket so after a week of hard work..we'll move onto couch surfing to arrange for a different kind of work- on the beach, in the canyons, shooting and generally jamming out. (i.e. no 4th of july party this year)..then after a quick bop back to bk to pick up mi senor+to squeeze the shariceE-we're going downeast for some time in maine...

i tell you all of this to guilt trip you into having drinks with me tonight+because my blogging may be spotty for a bit, so please bear with me.
