Live! with Kelly and....Jerry O'Connell?

We woke up at 7am on Jesse & Smileyjohn's second day to attend the morning taping of Live! with Regis Jerry O'Connell and Kelly.



I think we were still drunk. (Smileyjohn didn't make it.)



We arrived and got in line.



Michelle was awake and chipper!




We were dying inside. (Jesse especially. I think he had to poop.)



Gelman introduced our hosts.



And they walked out...(Kelly looking FIERCE.)



They started with host chat.



And during commercial breaks Kelly would come out and pose for pictures for the audience. She is SO nice.



She is TINY and I think subsists on a diet of altoids and tic-tacs.



Guests were Harrison Ford.



And Lucy Lawless.



There were a couple of fine ladies sporting Kate Gosselin hairdos.



And then...in the middle of the taping, Jesse had to excuse himself to have explosive diarrhea.

Kelly was all like, "Control your bowels!!!!!" But totally joking.



WE LOVES KELLY!!!!!

Broadway Bares!

For the Grand Finale to our epic Kross Kuntry Adventure. We attended Broadway Bares, a one-night-only charity event put on by the hottest male and female performers on Broadway.

Basically there are 12 musical numbers featuring incredible choreography with scantily clad hotties.

The show was sold out, but several of my former headshot clients were involved in the show so we got hooked up with tickets. Yay!

To check out a video from a few years ago: click here

(The production values of our show I think were much much better.)

We got the Roseland Ballroom, where the show was being held, and it was PACKED.



We bumped into Browngays Mark and JoeScat...



And (of course) devised a sneaky-asian scheme involving fake wristbands to get us up front into the VIP section...



The theme this year was "Click It"...

So the opening number involved Internet SURFing...



My client Eddie was in the opening number (below, right).



Another number was "You've Got Mail/Male"...



There was a random "Stimulus Package" themed number...





A tribute to the EPIC YouTube Music Video "Shoes"...



A number featuring naked aerialists...




Some all-girl numbers...





A surprise appearance by Broadway icon Allison Janney...



(which received a well-deserved 10-minute-long applause)...




And then, what I think was the sexiest number, "Fantasy Football".






And then there was the grand finale which featured all hundred or so performers...






And an appearance by the guy from Ugly Betty...




Amazing amazing show. I would have paid just to see the opening number.



At a certain point, Danny turned to me and said "L.A. SUCKS!!!!!"... and it's true, such an intricately organized event could never be put be put on by a bunch of volunteers in L.A...





NYC IS THE BEST!

Thank you Danny for accompanying me on our amazing adventure!

Whiskey-A-Go-Go

So I photographed beautiful Michelle Dawson almost two and half years ago when I was still a rookie photog:



Over the years she has referred a number of people to me, and I totally owe it to great former clients like her for keeping me in business doing what I love.

Last week, Michelle referred her friend Tori Olfanea to me. Tori is a singer-songwriter, photographs wonderfully, and we hit it off immediately.



She invited me to her show last night at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go, three blocks away from my home.



So we walked up the hill to support her in her first live performance EVER.



Tori is teeny tiny!



But up on stage she looked and sounded superb.



She sings songs about love and "looking in your eyes" and "listening to the roses" and how "you came to save me"....which are great....but I kind of wish she'd sing a song about getting drunk or stealing stuff or making out with strangers. The world needs more songs like that.

Maybe I'll suggest it to her and she'll do one and dedicate it to me. That would be so cool.




You can find Tori's music at: www.myspace.com/toriannorfalea

Afterwards Jesse's friend Jared was promoting his new vitamin-filled vodka at Hambo Mary's.



Delicious!




I was home and drunk-texting on the couch by 11. Yay!
