Michael Schmidt presents The World’s First Fully Articulated 3-D Printed Gown
(As modeled by Dita Von Teese)
The pre-presentation hub-bub was great. An introductory video included a nod to Fibonacci and The Golden Ratio (but wasn’t it Pythagoras or Euclid?) No matter, I love a bit of Barnum bravura. It worked.
Michael introduced his collaborator, Francis Bitoni. The soundtrack to the action of the event (which was Dita turning around) was Barbra Streisand’s version of Life On Mars. BIG THUMBS UP FROM BEYOND (That’s from the only album she says she wished she never made – imagine?)
A flash frenzy ensued. Twitter blew up and reportedly, apps around the world froze for a minute as Dita smiled. Thank you and good night.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, The World’s First Fully Articulated 3-D Gown has left the basement,” and thus history was made.
Lace up the back and no bone.
very nice, very nice.

EXCLUSIVE TO BB.COM
Very full and flowing but sleeveless as a nod to our First Lady. This season’s shocking style statement – cosmetic scarring with wrapped gauzey details.
The hair is high with a shock of contrasting color. Lips are deep and curvey. More later.
Iris Van Herpin Show Video
Inspired. Long live Nikola Tesla!
My only question is – are we calling her Iris Van Hairpin or Van Herpes?

I’m into it. Live slideshows. Chanel was late. Chanel was awful.
It’s an exciting and private way to go to the shows. If you ichat me we can wait and go in together.
Iris Van Herpen Spring Summer 2013
It starts with a crackle and a purple whip of an electric arc in the darkness of the Intercontinental Hotel’s grand ballroom. As a dancer contorts atop a specially built Tesla coil of a pedestal, Iris van Herpen grabs the audience by the hand to partake in a dream-walk through one of Nicola Tesla’s energy theory.

I never OK’d this. Nobody contacted me for research during pre pro. I never saw the book, I never attended any readings or improvs during the build on this show. I never even got an email about this show, and you know what? That hurts.
I don’t know about the new views.
Question: Is this the only bed side lamp on the street? I like this trend. Inside out. Assorted pillows around the park…I like that. Park Pillows.
Kickstarter much?
(groan) Okay, Let me see if it’s taken on Twitter yet…
Give. Pick up your card and give.

If you are still listening to Liza’s rendition of this holiday song, you are going to need a Bonine real fast.

How To Tie A Scarf
This time of year, things get very scarfy.
“Sarah Jessica is not coming out of the trailer until Billy ties the scarf.” –Â and that’s a quote.

Marisa Berenson – A Life In Pictures
Edited by Steven Meisel. ( sound effect of something huge dropping )
Oooh, yeah…I can see that. Very frizzy, yeah. Orlando could fix that. Do want me to call him for you?
Eyes, green.
Four covers, seven eyes.

Ok, so… A while back, I was graciously invited to a delicious dinner at the home of Donna D’Cruz and Tom Silverman – both of whom resonate very highly on the frequency of goodness – and who should be the surprise guest but Marisa Berenson herself? Immediately I filed my excitement for later and sat down next to her where I remained for the evening. She talks often about energies and invisible attractions. We had one going in about thirty seconds. I didn’t know that Elsa Schiaparelli was her grandmother. Oops. She informed me. Ok, so now I know.
The conversation with Marisa was easy but not routine. We share many interests and oddly, experiences. She is sharp as a tack and as genuine as a flawless D ideal cut diamond. She sparkles. Her magic is real. Realizing that re-affirmed so many wonderful things about being here, being an artist, being concerned with beauty…well…the list of sparks she lit within my creative mind that night is a very long one, indeed.
A muse. Amusing. Uncanningly radiant… and real.
whoa. Face! Shutting down the category.
Told.
