Bohemian Winter

Corey Tess — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 00:45:17 +0000

Can you believe that this gorgeous beach shoot was done in early December. That is the beauty of Southern California. 80 degrees at the beach a few weeks from Christmas. Love it! As you know I have been doing some wardrobe styling in my spare time (HA HA) as if I have much of that, but it is more of a pleasure than a task for me. This latest shoot wasn’t really planned out months in advance, it just sort of came together. The video here is just one set of photos and one model, we actually had two models and about 10 looks. What a great day. More to come!

We all met in the morning at Bluff Park in Long Beach, Ca and took over an area of the grass and started make up, hair and I opened the back of my SUV and started sorting wardrobe – we must have looked sort of crazy, but I was really looking to capture a chic/bohemian look as the main focus and then we threw in some MOD and Sexy Glam too… I am very happy with the results!

I see some familiar TYPE FACES. Love this script… great! If you deal with fonts, you will find it even funnier!

So you are having a BAD DAY at work!

Have a Johnny Depp Festival…

Blow & Don Juan DeMarco

I was in a Johnny Depp Mood… here are 2 films worth revisting…

Blow – stars Johnny, Penelope Cruz, & Franka Potente (also the unsinkable Paul Rubens aka peewee herman)

I loved Franka in this film… although it really glams up the drug life, it also depicts the reality of it as well… Johnny does such a great job as George Jung – he takes you from the highs to the lows seemlessly.. the costume design, set design and over all timing of the film make it easy to watch…and lets face it.. Johnny is rockin as a blonde…

DON JUAN DEMARCO

I had never seen this film from beginning to end. It is certainly nothing special and not one of Johnny’s finest performances, but its a good tale and a few laughs.. also, you get to see Brando and his belly acting together… if you have a couple of hours to spare and you want to see Johnny, fresh and young and stylin… this is a fun flick…

I am not who you think I am… but that isn’t a bad thing.. is it?

Category: Writing and Poetry

I have no interest in those things real – those things un real, and those that fall between the lines – i have read what was written – written past and present and that awkward area left blank for good reason -

i have lost interest…. perhaps never had a real interest in the reality of this place – in anything i could touch or taste or feel – but only those things beyond tangibilty that scrape the inner lining of meaning and scar memory – oh so gently – so permanently.

People – talk to me - maintain eye contact - I care – i have heard them – have they heard me? They maintain they have – i have said nothing – communicated only the very surface of any thought so far reaching into me like the roots of some mythical rain tree – still they speak of me with such charity – such splendor – they compliment all things i never called by my name….

who is this person – so adored – so appreciated – so loved?

Certainly – she has nothing to do with me….

Death at a Funeral (DVD of the Month!)

Corey Tess — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 07:49:57 +0000

One of the funniest films I have seen in a long time. It you love British Humor, you have to see this film. If you don’t, you still need to see it. Great comic timing. Although it is from the director of Bowfinger, the film is very british while Bowfinger was decidely american, however they share the same mixture of subtle and over the top comedy that makes a film really enjoyable. Just when you are beginning to recover from a giggle you are taken by an outright knee slapping laugh. Nice ride!

Basically the film is about two brothers who deal with a number of hilarious distractions at their fathers funeral. Everything from his gay lover showing up to a drugged up funeral attendee naked on the roof.

You can wait to DVD if its not playing near you, but please DO SEE THIS FILM!

Mad Money (DVD of the Month!)

Corey Tess — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 07:29:01 +0000

This little movie was a guilty pleasure. I am a Queen Latifah fan – there is just something very real and solid about the way she plays all her characters. She has a level of confidence that trancends the screen. Of course Diane Keaton is always a riot. I love her classic head shaking, hand flailing, squealing hysterics. Alway funny. A surprise to me, was Katie Holmes, playing a totally whacked out, but likable bimbo. You cannot help but like her in this film – she is just too cute. Great job on her part and I am personally glad to see her out of the house – Tom is freaky!

Anyway, if you just want to have flat out silly fun and are in a light hearted mood, Mad Money is sweet, simple, clean and friendly.

The basic storyline: A mature couple faces debt and possible financial ruin when after a year of looking for a new job, the husband (Ted Danson) finally admits he just cant find anything and they are now flat broke. His wife (Diane K) takes the reigns, but all she can find that matches her skills is a janitorial job in the Federal reserve bank where she quickly hatches a scheme to rob the place. After noticing they use locks just like the ones you get at any Home Depot on the carts that carry “Worn out” money that is to be shredded, she drags Queen L into the scheme and later entices Katie H as well. From there its a fun romp through the robbing, almost getting caught, more drama… finally getting caught and then … well, you’ll see..

VERY CUTE!
