We posted recently about one of our favorite photographers, Ellen Stagg (erotic photos here. commercial work here). When we were given the chance to actually meet and talk with her, we jumped right on the opportunity, or rather we jumped right on an Amtrak up to NYC. We met up with Ellen at a little tea spot in Williamsburg for a few cups and grabbed some Thai for lunch all the while discussing her photography, her life, being cool, picky eating, tattoos, Nike ID, interns, astrological signs, free clothes, doors that are hard to open, her metal band, Facelift, and their first gig.
***EDIT: Word came through from Ellen about Facelift’s first gig (last Thursday night) - “the gig went awesome….it was a blast!”

While paging through this week’s Philadelphia Weekly, our hands and eyes came to halt when this picture popped into the frame. The article talks about The Takeover: Philly Invades Brooklyn, a monthly party/art showcase at the Frank White gallery. Philly native and artist, Justin “Soul” Bedford rocked [ 2 one 5 ]’s Not NY tee to the event, which was showing his work.

Wilco rocked out the Tower Theater to a sold out crowd this past Saturday for their first ever stop in Philly. In town promoting their newest album Sky Blue Sky, Wilco put on an awesome show playing for almost 3 hours with a great variety from their new album mixed with some old favorites. With great crowd interaction, and an overall fantastic performance this was definitely one of the best shows I’ve seen in a while! Their next stop is Washington DC for more information visit Wilco World.

After a tad over 3 hours of actual show time (not including all the pre/post coverage happening on numerous networks), deserving (and highly foreign) actors/actresses/directors/producers/writers waltz through the backstage of LA’s Kodak theater with a naked, gold, man named Oscar clutched in their palm. There were no real surprise winners, nor any real snubs to tell about. Everything was pretty much expected. Well, we’re just upset Balls of Fury wasn’t nominated for one single award. Anyway, here’s a rundown of the 4 big category winners. The show would be a lot shorter if they just did these four plus the supporting awards, but hey sitting through constant 80 year Oscar history really wasn’t that bad (they could have done worse).
Best Picture/Best Director - Ethan and Joel Coen for No Country For Old Men
Best Original Screenplay - Diablo Cody for Juno
Best Actress - Marion Cotillard for La Vie En Rose
Best Actor - Daniel Day Lewis for There Will Be Blood (go ahead and say the milkshake line)

We’ve always been a fan of the Marc Jacobs ad campaigns. Mostly because of the work of photographer Juergen Teller. This years Spring/Summer 08 ads have begun rolling out and feature the usual cast of unusual characters to be the face of the brand and shot once again by Teller who’s been taking snaps for Jacobs since 2005. This year’s faces include singer M.I.A., singer/faux-celebrity Victoria Beckham, and beautiful loser Harmony Korine. Here’s a few of the ads we’ve seen so far. More are slated to roll out during the course of the Spring.
M.I.A.
Victoria Beckham
Harmony Korine
