Lice

"Lice (Pediculus capitis) are small parasitic insects exquisitely adapted to living mainly on the scalp and neck hairs of their human host. Their six impressive legs are elegantly evolved to grasp hair shafts and provide a striking example of biological specialization. Long associated with people, head lice have been recovered from prehistoric mummies. Head lice are equal opportunity parasites; they do not respect socio-economic class distinctions." -(http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/headlice.html#what) Yes, lies do the same thing but on your brain. They grasp on your thoughts and are difficult to remove once adopted by your consciousness, and require some homework on your behalf in order to decode the different components that makeup the lie. The task of disecting the lie can sometimes hurt a friend, sever business relationships, but above all lies are mockery to your intelligence. Lies, like lice, have been around for a long time and "do not respect socio-economic class ...

Give Heat...

...herette a round of applause for giving, so far, the best "Fashion Week" parteeh at Happy Valley with Susanne Bartsch , Richie Rich, Traver Rains, Kenny Kenny, The Trinity and Amanda Lepore . There was, well, the usual, decadence, beauty, glory, dancing, alcohol... red balloons filled with cashola and images galore. So, out of all the options I decided to capture some of the evening crotches and my favorite beautiful people. Yeah, some of them off-the-hook, but hilarious. Thanks for watching.

Washingtonians get some style...

"I get out here, Buenos Aires Stand back, you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me Just a little touch of star quality" - Madonna playing Evita Peron in Evita. And so the story goes, Simon Alcantara and I, Karlo , were invited by Arlene Ramirez-Shapiro and the Dominican Embassy in Washington DC to share a little bit of star quality with the fabulous women of Washington DC. And so we did. Arlene Ramirez- Shapiro, Steve Shapiro and Shelby Shapiro Ramirez, opened their lovely home to the women and men of Washington DC for a day of style and an evening of stars. Upon arrival, Arlene and Steve greeted us with wonderful Sushi and Champagne. It was nice to see Arlene and Steve again, in their new beautiful home. Arlene, of course, has not changed, she was her funny, classy, enchanting and nonchalant self. Steve, Arlene's husband, hasn't changed much either, very polite, a gentleman in many ways. It was hilarious to see him having a major laugh the evening we arrived i...

Where is the MEAT?

Robert Bryan from The New York Times calls, I think is for another trip to Brazil or something, but no... he is referring me to Ansgar, this German photographer that is looking for a "crazy" make up artist for an editorial for Style International Magazine. Style what?!?! Alright, for Mr. Bryan, anything. After all these 10-something years of relationship I can't say no, he is one of my idols; a freaking encyclopedia of fashion, history and architecture. And afterall, this guy, Ansgar, must have a good eye if he's recommended by "The Times." The question was: Was I good enough for him? LOL. Well, he was looking for some extreme ("crazy") makeup for a guy, and Robert knows me very well, I'm known for being highly creative with a strong sense of balance. So here are some of the takes. Ansgar was fabulous, talented and knew exactly what he wanted. Once the entire editorial comes out I wil post more. Where's the MEAT?
