Heidi Glüm is everything.
I’m infatuated with this drag performer, Miles Deniro, and I have a pretty good eye for stuff. With equal parts Marie Antoinette, Lady Gaga and Cruella DeVil, (s)he’s stunning. I haven’t even seen her perform, ...

Star & Dagger
S-n-F-n-D! Equal parts hard rock and glam camp, Star & Dagger are committed. Their new video for “Your Mama Was a Grifter” showcases a spandex-clad hillbilly hooliganism that is far too absent in a buttoned-up ...

I brake just like a little girl.
There’s a service in my parking garage at work, that will do just about anything to your car, from detail to routine maintenance, and they’re reasonable. It’s a great business. I dropped off my 2008 ...

Big Black Truck

In My Youth I See
It was my first stab at speech writing, and it was for an oratorical contest for the Optimist’s Club. I was seven. The shirt was all polyester, rich navy blue with white notes.

Beattyesque
I met Warren Beatty once. Living in Hollywood, I really like to leave people alone, unless they’re on my mental short list or I can sense the possibility of a mutually interesting moment. Warren has ...

Hollywood Hopefuls
These mannequins were in the window of American Apparel near my bus stop in Hollywood. They were having an interesting moment. This is a culture of exhibitionists and voyeurs: a feedback loop that can easily ...

Intersection
I have a friend named Baz who is in the industry. I took this photo for him. Do not block the intersection of TV and AV. Amen.

Lip Lock
An ad placed over the glass front of a vacant retail space on Hollywood Boulevard. Don’t stand still too long in this town. Someone will put a sign on you.

Cracked Out in Hollywood
This wouldn’t be an unusual sight in southern California, except that it was rush hour, and a windy 65 degrees outside.

Morning Growl
A yawning spell and an iPhone makes a photo these days. I was bored, sleepy, and uncomfortable at the time. Mostly uncomfortable.

Ginger & Gingham
Springy sharp. Tomato and white gingham check shirt, black jacket, charcoal pant, pointy black oxfords, smart glasses and an electric blue iPod Shuffle. MOCA bag is not unexpected. Thanks for being my first shot on ...

Retromuscle
It’s all about the blue background, the oily shine, choppy cuts, and the out of focus quality that makes this clip look like the old Bob Mizer AMG stuff. Sexy and accidentally artful.

Maum Meditation
After perusing what is a Scientology-esque, yet still very enticing, booklet, (nicely laid-out, spellchecked, and printed in four colors on a nice dull-finished stock), I went to an introduction to Maum Meditation, a Korean form ...

Florencé Sings Beyoncé
Of course, Beyoncé’s recording is perfect. Yes, she originated the song. This isn’t a contest. That said, Florence’s version of Halo is raw and yearning and gritty, and most importantly, moves me in a way ...

Mulholland at 49 Degrees
There’s really nothing that embodies life in Los Angeles quite like driving Mulholland from Burbank to Beverly Hills, at night, in a borrowed German convertible, top down and it 49 degrees out. Nina Simone sings, ...

BMW E9
When I was 22, I knew a guy who drove this car. He never let me drive it. No wonder I can’t remember his name. The BMW New Six CS (internal name BMW E9) was a two-door coupé ...

Born This Way
We’re barely into 2011 and it’s been a journey of discovery already. Lady Gaga has been no small inspiration. I’ve recently realized that I have only lived alone for less than a year of my ...
