Celebrity Vault has become my favorite place to visit when I need to see some jaw dropping beautiful fine art photography of Old Hollywood and Rock and Roll Royalty.  The gallery focuses on large size exclusive prints from an exclusive coterie of photographers..The space is large and the work hung well.  The staff very friendly and it's location is prime 90201...Close to all the shops and eateries...If you live here go, and if visiting, it's a lovely place to stop by while checking out Bev Hills..Please let the owners (Klaus and Cole) know I sent ya!!!

 

I have been a longtime member of the church of Radiohead, and for me their visit is akin to the Pope coming to visit devout Catholics. So, as I scour the website looking for dates here in LA, I feel the intense devotion for this band gain momentum, until I click on the icon for DATES only to reveal that the show is SOLD OUT..No can't be, but yes it is.  And even though I am not a devout Catholic..I will say a few novenas hopefully blessing me with tickets someway, somehow.....Radiohead will play in August at the Hollywood Bowl 24th and 25th....Any angels out there listening to my prayers?


 

 

Apparently, in a past life I WAS a cheap ass stripper (Damn the internet, everything is out there!!!!)......Does this mean I need to retract my last post??

OK Its late and here I go......This says it all why I have become disgusted with reality celebrity.  The caption reads "Actress Heidi Montag debuts her clothing line, Heidiwood"  First off, this is now what is qualified as acting!!!! "The Hills!!!!!" Reality shows are churning out ACTORS!!! I beg to differ.. I am sorry, but I am gonna rant and I would say this to their faces ...I have had enough.. Enough of crap on TV being passed off as entertainment..Enough of everyone and their mother hawking their cheap ass clothes that end up making everyone who wears them look like cheap ass hookers...I get it, this is a town where people come to live their dreams and that is all this girl is trying to do....But shes out there and I saw it and I am just saying........Tell me I am not alone in my dismay...please...

The photo says it all.....(sorta reminds me of the band Hole's album cover)

Having grown up with a dad who was the head photographer of Motown in the 70's, I was constantly surrounded by the artistic and complicated world of photography.  I remember my dad spending hours in the darkroom perfecting a color or black and white print. As well as seeing him lug around huge heavy bags of camera equipment for each shoot. I had a huge amount of respect for him back then, but even more now. Two years ago I discovered his unpublished negatives and was blown away. They are simply gorgeous and soon got him a show with Morrison Hotel Gallery. I then started to sell privately his work, as well as his colleagues from back in the day; Neal Preston, Jim Marshall, Bob Gruen, Barry Feinstein, Andy Kent, and Elliott Landy.  All of them are masters of photography and show a side of music that will never happen again, truly a magical and iconic time....
