God's Love; Golden Heart Award

This week I shot the God's Love We Deliver Golden Heart awards ceremony.

I have been sick and have not had a chance to tackle the post production yet. Here are just a few of the many highlights.

Miss America, Donna Karan, Miss Universe

Donna Karan was there representing 7th on Sale. She is flanked by two pageant winners. I don't know if they are the current title holders, but they brought their sashes, with sparkles and all. That was enough for me. Donna insisted that they take them off for the photo. Kidding. They did don them for part of the evening however.

Anna Wintour, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein

Here is Donna with Anna Wintour and Calvin Klein. Note the smile on Anna Wintour, practically a guffaw.

Calvin Klein and Vera Wang

Shortly after that photo was taken, Vera Wang came in and joined them.

Tommy Hilfiger

Tommy Hilfiger was there and presented an award.

Mayor Bloomberg

Mayor Bloomberg took a turn at the podium and presented an award to 7th on Sale.

Martha Stewart, Harry Slatkin and daughter

Harry Slatkin the home fragrence king was honored for all his work for God's Love. Here he is above with his young daughter and Martha Stewart.

Deborah Norville, Linda Carter, and event chair Blaine Trump

Deborah Norville Emceed the event. Linda Carter made every one feel short and Blaine was the chair.

I have many more pictures to come, that was just a taste. I will leave you with what is the most important shot of the night for me. One of the cater waiters asked if I would take a shot of him with Linda Carter. How can you say no to a gay mans dream? Here it is; Wonder Woman and the cater waiter.

Baby Alert: Say Gay

The baby has picked up some interesting words living with us the past 2 years. One that she delights in is "gay".

She doesn't just say it, she exclaims it.

We delight in that.

Little Cream Soda, The White Stripes

I have had this song in my head all weekend. It is kind of grating to be honest, but it gets in your head and before you know it you are saying "Oh well, oh well" and "God screams to me 'There's nothing left for me to tell you.'"

You'll see what I mean.



P.S. I love the outfits Jack and Meg are rocking in the picture. I am going to get myself a hot glue gun and a case of DeCecco macaroni. You have been warned.

Suzie Q/Julie Gu

I work with a woman at WWD who is a hoot. She is Chinese and kinda wants to be jewish. She says that she wants to have a Chinese Bat Mitzvah, or as she calls it a Chinitzvah.

This is my kind of girl. A sense of humor, very loyal as a friend and super sweet.

For some reason I would start singing her name (Julie Gu) to the tune of Suzie Q by Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Here is that track, plug Julie Gu in and see how strangly good it feels.

And Love the pink 45.

Never Been to Spain

I get this song in my head all the time. Now you can too. I have been going through a southern rock thing lately. Next thing I am going to be riding around on a Harley with a giant confederate flag belt buckle.

PS Ignore the cheesy "graphix"
