edward weston first nude


is it possible that a first of a kind outdo the followings? well to me this nude which is supposed to be the first edward weston took is my favorite. not that i don’t like the others but there is something more here. maybe what we call a “supplement d’ame” in french (a little extra soul) by pp

jacques magazine vintage nudes

i’m sure kl and kv won’t be 100% happy with this post (as well as blogger that won’t take off the warning for nudity) but i really like this magazine and the video that comes with it. it reminds me of the golden age of playboy (that i never knew). on top of that, it has the same name as my dad, can’t go wrong by pp

debbie harry – blondie: from playboy bunny to the originator of new wave

debbie was at one point a dancer at union city and a not so great playboy bunny

in the late 60’s debbie worked as a secretary at the BBC radio’s new york office
this is how they dressed at the BBC back then.

stein and harry named the band blondie after the wolf whistle men often yelled at debbie from passing cars

dirty harry: the coolest image i have ever seen of debbie harry

image by warhol:
debbie’s stage persona of streetwise, sexy, cool became so closely associated with the group’s name that many came to believe debbie’s name was “blondie”

that of course lead to partner, chris steins aggravation an to this now-collector, pin!

so beach-y

nabokov’s lolita-paper back: given/signed by debbie harry and the so “innocent” brooke shields… or actually 2 savvy charlatans since there is no proof of the signatures

debbie harry at her best… love the knee pads

ok so maybe only blondie could save jersey, but even she was originally born in miami (florida) and was adopted by her to-be family in new jersey. in any case KL got us all curious now and we had to search it out. here’s the collage, or rather the barrage, of blondies retro-pix and a quote from debbie in the no exit tour book, hope you enjoy:

“hi, it’s deb. you know, when i woke up this morning i had a realization about myself. i was always blondie. people always called me blondie, ever since i was a little kid. what i realized is that at some point i became ‘dirty harry’. i couldn’t be blondie anymore, so i became dirty harry.” by xy

photographer sam haskins: exhibit at milk gallery

the unaffordable original issue of cowboy kate book by sam haskins that was almost impossible to find is now available in a reissue “directors cut” edition
if you happened to be one of the few lucky ones to make it there at the right time, you would have had the chance to meet sam and take home a signed issue.



the highlight of my day, that day, was indeed the chance of of meeting sam haskins at his show. the exhibit at milk studio was very good but unfortunately not as great as his work indeed is.

that is of course my personal opinion. the small diptychs created did not do the images justice. sam’s pictures are so amazing and simple they deserve to stand alone and in large, large, large, wall paper size formats. of course space is the key issue in nyc and i’m sure that had something to do with it. the exhibits prints were rather small making you feel like you were going through a printed book (what is the point when you can buy the book?).

that night i met sam and his son and his grandson. extremely kind and graceful. sam unfortunately had suffered a stroke recently and was not in top condition yet he was pleased to see so many young fans at the opening and happy to talk and sign my book. by dd
