I finished the shoot for Tetu magazine today. Monday was spent shooting downtown near the Standard Hotel at a studio apartment. The set was simple and stark white. It was supposed to be all about the crisp clean edges of the clothes and my profile. The photographer was Nicholas Wagner out of NYC…he was great, he and I got on very well. We started by enjoying a couple of Vodkas on the roof of the Standard where the hotel had put him up, going over some ideas, chatting and getting comfortable, it is an amazing spot. If you only have a few hours to experience LA, that is the place to do it - totally the LA scene (in a good way).

Today was the last day. We used a house that was the most radically designed space I had ever seen with my own two eyes. I wish I had my camera with me. I said that to myself pulling up to the location. I always say that. I swore to myself that would be the last time. When I return to Palm Springs, Mike and I are going camera shopping.

Photographers are artists and they have their own style. Working for Channel 1 for so long I am used to the style of our guys; what they want and how things work for a porn shoot. Dick, ass, more ass, etc. Shooting for Attitude and now for Tetu I have been privied to the stylings and tastes of two very different photographers. I love a challenge and I love an old T shirt. Nicholas suprised me when he said that he got an idea from the photo on my blog of the Q TV episode with Chi Chi and Sandra Bernhard. Suspenders. I have always loved suspenders, ever since I was a kid. Nicholas told me that he saw the photo and blog entry and ordered a couple pairs from a Paris shop. They were the real skinny ones that looked almost like the leg straps to a jock strap, in solid black, and in white and red checkers….HOT!!!!! What’s better than suspenders? Keeping them! After I squealed with delight at the sight of them, Nicholas graciously offered them to me as a parting gift. Now I know how Cristy Turlington must feel aftet a DKNY show! Once again Boy Wonder has proven himself a worthy and valuable partner. Without the photo, Nicholas wouldn’t have been inspired and Johnny would not have the suspenders. Not so hot.

That’s all from me for now. You all need to check out the music player. KUDOS AGAIN BOY WONDER! THAT SHIT IS OVER THE TOP!!!!
