Timothy Bloom: the music and the [nude] man.

Oh my god. This video would be insanely hot and steamy if the song wasn't so insanely beautiful. Proof that sometimes sweetness trumps sex.

I may have just cried a little watching. Enjoy.

art in LA (and beyond): Gronk's hotness in black & white.

If you missed the closing night of Mondo Gronk at the CB1 Gallery in Downtown LA this past weekend, the exhibition travels next to Madrid. After that, you can catch Gronk's sexy black and whites on exhibit back at LACMA come 2011. Yum.

Helmut Newton - black, white and nude all over.

Just a glimpse at the work of a photographic legend. Because I love a legend, I love a good eye, and I love naked people (in no particular order).

art in LA: The L.A. case

What makes an artist great?

a. Include nude images of women. Everyone loves a good nude.

b. Make your name memorable. Don't capitalize. e.e. cummings didn't and it worked for him. Also, drop the last name. If Cher doesn't need one, no great artist does.

German artist case is the proof in the artsy pudding. Catch his show at my good buddies' Seth and Elisa Carmichael's gallery this week.

Opening Reception: Thursday October 8 2009 / 7.00pm – 10.00pm
Exhibition Dates: October 8 – October 29

BONUS: Watch case create one of the pieces for the show here. And watch a behind the scenes slide show of case at a photo shoot here.
