Back to the Future!

I recently had the opportunity to model as a female version of Marty McFly with an amazing Delorean straight out of Back to the Future. The shoot will be used to benefit Parkinson’s disease research, via the Michael J. Fox Foundation. What a perfect match to use the Delorean from Michael’s incredible role as Marty McFly in the movie to promote a cure for Parkinson’s disease.

It was a great feeling to volunteer my time to help out such a worthy cause, and doubly great to leave the shoot thinking about how many amazing and talented people I had just worked with! …Especially one of my favorite photographers, Douglas Sounders. Here is the link to Doug’s blog with a sneak peak of what we worked on all Saturday night!

A final thank you goes out to Bubba’s East Coast Rods and Customs for letting us invade their shop and parking lot for this shoot! Did you guys know that Bubba’s has a top-rated reality show called Hot Rod Reality? …and it’s shot right here in Fairfax, VA! I had no idea…but then again, what do I know about cars!

Working with such a talented group of people was really an honor and on top of it all, so much fun! I’m excited to see the final product!

Hugs + kisses!

What Have We Done?

We’ve read it in the papers and heard it on the news. It’s affected the economy in a number of ways. It’s even been used as question material for Miss USA (you can see question on video at 3 min 30 sec):

What have we done, folks? As one small person in this enormous planet, it is easy to feel like our small voice’s would never be heard worldwide, especially if we consider the language barriers. And in most cases, that is usually true, we are one small voice in this big big world. Unless you use the power of photography; the one language we all can speak. Pictures like these are evidence that one camera lens can clearly communicate this message in every language: “What have we done to ourselves?”

If you’re interested, you can see all 39 incredible pictures from the website I pulled these images from by clicking here: www.boston.com.

It is important to learn from the mistakes that we’ve made in our past so that we never make them again.

This catastrophe affects all of us in a million different ways. Whether you’re an animal lover, a tree-hugger, an environmentalist, an economist, an investor, a politician, even a nutritionist (who will probably cut out the seafood from diet plans, yes?); we ALL are affected.

…Sending heartfelt appreciation, gratitude, and prayers from all of us, to all of the wonderful selfless volunteers and individuals who are working so hard to clean up this terrible spill–in the ocean, in the court room, and on Capitol Hill.

Kisses to all. Besos. XoX

OVERSIZE glasses.

Forget how much the bright sun kills your eyes on your morning commute to work. Beauty is pain people, so ditch your oversize sunglasses for a pair of these:

A little Johnny Depp sexiness with a youthful yet sophisticated appeal…

Here’s my testimony: My friend recently wore vintage Tom Ford black oversize glasses (no prescription) out to a club at night and the ladies went wild...myself included. I have to admit, I was jealous of all the attention he was getting; my beautiful silk Stella dress just didn’t cut it next to that sexy eye wear. And the best part about the oversize glasses is that they are totally unisex. UniSEXY!

So this year, I’ve purchased the perfect bathing suit, I’ve found the perfect sunglasses–another pair of Louis V’s (aviator’s) inspired by Tiger Woods sexy mistress Rachel Uchitel, and now, I’ve discovered this year’s must have accessory! Oversize glasses. Let my search for the sexiest pair begin!
