the long-awaited launch of the colette x lomo diana project has arrived: a customized colette camera sold with a special edition book titled “through a woman’s lens” featuring photographs and text accompaniments from myself and the ultra-talented claw money (NYC), shauna t (MELBOURNE), sophie toporkoff (PARIS) and feride uslu (BERLIN), amongst others. big-love and molto bravo to peter from lomo and sarah at colette for including me in this very, very special project which has taken over the colette first-floor gallery space in paris for the entire month of march, so for anyone in the city light please go check it out!!!

yesterday in beverly hills i was lucky enough to witness a sale preview hosted by christie’s of famed philanthropist betty freeman’s soon-to-be-auctioned art collection comprising works by roy lichenstein, david hockney, andy warhol and the list continues. its said that freeman, the hostess of many a music salon get together in her 90210 mansion, wanted a dan flavin piece in every room. the upstairs bedroom (pictured below with a neon red installation in the corner above the bed) was actually her son’s room. when i first walked in to the room the negative feng shui element was so incredibly apparent, it made me curious to find out what the son (who spent his teenage years in this room) actually does today. when i asked about that i was told “he is retired now and was known to be quite an accomplished surfer.” er, naturally.

ola! i won’t be in paris this season but if i was i’d be celebrating with my pals yaz and lucien here!

big-up respect to the lovely kime (pictured) whose retail institution named show pony in los angeles is preparing to close its doors after nine years in the biz. a sign of the times here in yankie-ville? si si. but bigger and better scenarios await lady kime. bravo on all of your efforts and best of luck on every one of your new endeavors my dear.

interesting fact: studio execs sent michael douglas an envelope containing a comb and a pair of scissors the week before shooting started with a note which read: “you know what you can do with this.” douglas didn’t give a toss and kept the beard and shaggy hair anyway.
ps. jane fonda is god.
