RITA HAYWORTH

Rita Hayworth was a true Hollywood star. She sang and danced and acted in her films. Plus she was a Latin beauty. And glamour personified.

ERYKAH BADU FOR TOM FORD WHITE PATCHOULI

With its sensuous core of patchouli, TOM FORD White Patchouli perfectly captures the myth of a generation. Sleek wood blends with the essence of elegant white flowers to create this modern retro-classic fragrance that embodies a sophisticated interpretation of bohemian chic. Citrus and coriander top notes capture attention with their sleek freshness and unfold into a floral trio, revealing intoxicating jasmine, refined muguet, and sensual rose absolute. An alluring base of patchouli oprur delivers rich depth and mingles with tempering sandalwood, dramatic incense, and golden amber for a compelling, seductive appeal.

MY MAKE OVER ON JANE THORVALDSON

There's my friend Jane on the right fresh off the beach with her little pink nose and hair brushed off her face. On the left I've evened out her skin tone with foundation. Shaded her eyes with soft purple shadow and mascara. Accented her cheek bones with blush, and brought out her lips with a lovely lip color and some gloss. I then curled her hair and whipped it into a fluffy frame for her beautiful new glamorous look.
ET VOILA!

MICHELLE PHIILLIPS BIRTHDAY IS TODAY

HAPPY 69TH BIRTHDAY MICHELLE! 

PHOTOGRAPH BY GREG GORMAN

I first met Michelle Phillips on a photo spread for Cosmopolitan magazine. The shoot took a couple of days to complete and when we were finished she asked me if I would like to go to see a B'way show with her. Can't remember what we saw, but I do remember hanging out in her suite at The Pierre Hotel, while she told me stories about the singing group she was in THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS. They were one of my favorite groups, "California Dreaming", "Monday Monday" I really enjoyed that night.

We ended up connecting sometime later in Los Angeles and I worked with her a few more times. Met her daughter Chynna. And helped her change her look so she could get a part playing 1940's actress Gene Tierney. We ran into each other last year at a gallery opening in New York and said hello. She looked great and was as nice as ever. Happy Birthday Michelle!

FROM MY PORTFOLIO - ALEXA SINGER - THE MAD HATTER

This photograph represented the month of March in the Elite Models - Fuji Film promotional calendar photographed by Douglas Dubler in 1985. Alexa Singer was a beautiful model and was on multiple Vogue covers at the time. My concept was for Alexa to be "The Had Hatter" and the stylist Vincent Whitfield found an artist named Renate Sturmer that made these head sculptures. The pink and grey patterned background was by Memphis, a design group out of Italy. The coat was a dyed pink sheared mink that was designed by Oscar de la Renta. The diamond and amethyst earrings were designed by Paloma Picasso for Tiffany. I was going for a offbeat makeup look so I shaded one eye with pink shadow and blended it down on to the cheek. I lined inside each lower eyelid with some purple pencil. I then used a bright yellow eye shadow on the other eye and finished off the look with a soft green lipstick.

MOON DROPS BY REVLON COSMETICS

This is one of my all time favorite Revlon ad campaigns. Richard Avedon was the photographer and the model was Samantha Jones and I believe it was produced in the early 1970's. I love the whole futuristic look of it, even the name "Moon Drops" makes it sound like something from the future.
