Kudos to Eli Wallach



I watched 'The Holiday' again this week and like the first time I fell instantly in love with Eli Wallach. At 95, Eli is still a working actor and last year appeared on 'Nurse Jackie' and 'Tickling Leo'. Next year Eli appears in 'The Ghost Writer' with Ewan McGregor. Many know Eli from his roles in 'Godfather 3' and 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.' Kudos to this wonderful and talented man.

Sundays With Hans: Marcel

-Sundays With Hans-
-Marcel-




Ever since I began enjoying the work of Hans Fahrmeyer I have wanted to post about Marcel. Most of you I know, are well aware of Marcel and his work with Score and Vista Video. Marcel is one of the hottest and most popular men on the net. He is also one of the smartest, and the most mysterious. Marcel has never looked better than in front of the camera with Hans. Be sure to check out Hans video!

















Pic Series Of The Day: Christian Yanik by Adam Bouska



Most of you know the work of the brilliant Adam Bouska, espeically his work with the No H8 Campaign. Adam's skill and talent has made everyone from superstars to everyday people look amazing! Adam has been a photographer for many years and although the NO H8 campaign has gotten tons of attention, he is amazingly creative in all areas of his work. Check out Adam's site HERE:

One of my favorite models who has worked closely with Bouska is model Christian Yanik. Although Christian grew up in California, his family moved to Oregon when he was 5 and studied at University of Oregon. Christian moved back to California to pursue his modeling dream and has been living there ever since. Christian has soulful face, both young looking yet with wisdom. Might come from his Czech - Norwegian and Swedish heritage. His blue eyes sparkle in all his shots. Check out more at Christian's Myspace page HERE:

The Easter Bunny Just Threw Up. The 2010 Spring Summer CHANEL Collection.




While I am usually singing the praises of CHANEL, I fear their latest 2010 Spring Sumer Couture collection is making me slightly nauseated.

Pearlized pastel confections walked down the runway donning Minnie Mouse-Meets- Bride of Frankenstein hairdos in the latest Haute Couture Collection from CHANEL.




Looking like sugared Easter eggs on parade, the latest gowns and suits from CHANEL are clad in pastel and silver metallics, accessorized with metallic gold and silver fingerless gloves, shimmery tights, iridescent gauze, pearl laden shoes and lots of futuristic versions of their classic suits.




As always, the clothes are beautifully crafted, the detailing impeccably produced, but I fear this particular collection is a bit too sweet for my taste. The pale pinks, peaches, greens, lavendar, baby blues and yellows look like butter mints and it makes me long for the austere black and white that Chanel is often known for.







As you can see above and below, the skirt has become the skort in many of the designs and the classic tweed jackets have taken on metallic buttons and ornate detailing that is similar to fondant.





I do dig the pearl accented metallic boots, though:



and a few of the gown like the one below:


As if having pastel suits and skorts weren't sugary enough, several of the gown and skirts have a frothy meringue effect:






Even the giant bows with their signature camellia in the hair of the models were overkill.



Is that a rotary phone cord?
