carla Bruni graces the cover of September’s Vanity Fair. Inside the issue Lagerfeld, who often used Bruni as a model, raves: “She’s imaginative, clever, educated. She knows how to behave. She speaks many languages. It must be an embarrassment for the wives of other heads of state to see this beautiful creature who can wear anything and speak like that.”…“She was full of life and wit. She was beyond polite … So many, like Linda and Christy, had periods of being moody and difficult. She was always perfect.”

Always Perfect...

Art on the Internet...
Photo by: Guy Aroch 2006
As creative director of an advertising agency in Austria, Andrea Preiss worked with many photographers whose work she coveted, but the images remained elusive — until
technology intervened. Sometimes she would drop a not-so-subtle hint,
as she did at Arthur Elgort’s studio when she saw a photo she liked, and said, “
That’s nice, I’d love to have it.” There were instances when a photographer would give her a gift. Other times, Preiss would try to track down images
by calling photographers’ agents and galleries.
“It’s not very simple to buy these things when you travel and work a lot,” she said.
“The kind of things I want to collect do not really exist in galleries.
[The photographers] may have had an exhibition and maybe have only one or two images left.” Preiss thought there had to be a better way. An e-commerce site based in Vienna, photographerslimitededitions.com, is her solution.
The site features the works of top lensmen such as Elgort, Guy Aroch, Marc Baptiste,
Rankin, Bruno Bisang, Roxanne Lowit, Nigel Parry, Howard Schatz, Ben Watts, Timothy White and Christian Witkin. There are no more than 25 prints of each image. Prices range from 1,000 euro, or $1,530, to 8,000 euro, or $12,240,
based on the current exchange rate.
Elgort, whose work has been published in Vogue, Visionaire and Vanity Fair,
contributed the photo, “Lauren Hutton for Ultima Revlon” (silver gelatine print, 1975),
which shows the model wearing a white fur coat and sitting on a park bench as Elgort, seated on the next bench, trains his lens on her.
“Fashion photography is getting more recognized as an art,” said Preiss, who has photos by David LaChapelle and Helmut Newton in her personal collection.

It's about itme...
Tomorrow officials from Beverly Hills, Malibu, West Hollywood & others are meeting to discuss how to control the paparazzi. Los Angeles Councilman Dennis Zine said “this is a response to their lack of responsible behavior”. For those of us who live in Hollywood & New York & other major cities this cannot come quick enough.
My friend thought she was about to be carjacked when she got wedged between several cars recently. They jumped out & left their cars running at a stoplight to run after Britney Spears. Enough is enough. If any of us had to deal with these guys on a regular basis we would freak! It’s not like they lay back & just “do their jobs” as many of them say...they run up on you & shove cameras literally inches from your face.
Let’s hope some common ground can be found.

Move over Google...
Now there is CUIL
"The World's biggest search engine."
The Internet has grown exponentially in the last fifteen years but search engines have not kept up—until now. Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft.
Rather than rely on superficial popularity metrics, Cuil searches for and ranks pages based on their content and relevance. When we find a page with your keywords, we stay on that page and analyze the rest of its content, its concepts, their inter-relationships and the page’s coherency.
Then we offer you helpful choices and suggestions until you find the page you want and that you know is out there. We believe that analyzing the Web rather than our users is a more useful approach, so we don’t collect data about you and your habits, lest we are tempted to peek. With Cuil, your search history is always private.
Cuil is an old Irish word for knowledge. For knowledge, ask Cuil.

Vogue 1968 phot0: Franco Rubartelli
With David Hemmings in Blow Up 1966
At 20 she entered the world of modeling. But it was brief appearance in the 1966 film Blowup by Michelangelo Antonioni which began with the words "Here I am" that brought her recognition.
That same year she began doing her now infamous nude shoots wearing only body paint & camouflaging herself into different environments. She worked with everyone from Salvador Dali to Peter Beard, Richard Avedon and has 11 Vogue covers under her belt!
