Artist Georgia O'Keeffe















One of the most regally elegant, beautiful  & independently spirited women ever to contribute to our collective visual experience of a true artist.
She lived a life in complete harmony with nature in her beloved New mexico, the primary subject that inspired her work. Experiencing  the overwhelming splendor of  Santa Fey and Albuquerque ( on a glorious road trip with T.J), it's easy to see why she built her remarkable nest there.
The endless land and sky can put one in a trance.
As Diana Vreeland  once uttered:  Elegance is Refusal.....Miss O'Keeffe's sensual simplicity is abundant evidence of that timeless philosophy.
In the 80's it inspired Calvin Klein to the point of having Bruce Weber shoot a portrait of him in her home...not an easy feat, considering what her opinion might have been regarding crass commercialism.
But they obviously charmed her....lol

The eyes have it.


The timeless allure of those irresistible hooded eyes.....paired with a lush pout.

Marlene Dietrich


























































The original image-obsessed star who set the standard for creating a mythic fantasy of herself  through photographs. She cultivated every imaginable female persona possible for her time and set herself apart through her unmatched discipline and perfectionism in caring for her physical allure, the pursuit of artifice and celebrating the art of posing. Her taste for dressing in masculine attire caused quite a stir back in the 30's, well ahead of today's ongoing fascination with the appeal of androgynous men and women.She will continue to be referenced and sampled by the entertainment and fashion industries.

Japanese Super Model Tao Okamoto

Another gifted shape shifter who shows off the power/ magic of hair, makeup, clothes, accessories and the art of posing. The moment I saw her onscreen in The Wolverine,dressed in a simple white day dress, I knew she had to have been a major model....her classic proportions,defined hipbones and elegant carriage were flawless.
