Beauty was inspired from elegant draping fabrics, sumptious colors, and timeless fitted cuts that showcased the shoulders, back, or breasts; not all at once, but in revealing captured moments up on glamorous movie posters and throughout the memories of movie lovers for all time. These women will forever be remembered in their flowing red carpet dresses, and timeless hollywood movie roles that have left them in every stream of our current day existence and popular culture.</div><div><br /></div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 266px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700818544843706690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKxWFn5LuAWR5-8XsADr-lDNl0u5lWwLGMzzxiny7GU1yWSQeRLXc0C1yQboMyi9fKA2hKeTWn8n7ygbrKT65tdZWaRHswZLorHKqqShy2VGQ3aB-BB7qCglVX6RrTrr0McMtlKkPVcUA/s400/marilyn-monroe21.jpg" /><br />Specifically the movie moments in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, of the sexually frustrated Elizabeth Taylor in the classic Tennessee Williams play to film showcased a women who was both sexual and refined, classic yet volumptous in soft whites, and creams. Her personality was embued with hearty tension, while showing composure and pleasantry in her beautifully crafted wardrobe. As well in the young daydreaming Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina and Roman Holiday, and the firey sexual Marilyn Monroe in Gentleman Prefer Blondes, and How to Marry a Millionaire.</div><div><br /></div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 269px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700819292893700994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLHIgSl7Uggv7aSGD9scoLRL8ZMzAPDbNzU9OAeiQINAC2sGGmdmTIN0ARWO2s0A_ydCxoWwfsPXWNsPtR7dnoWzclOJeiQQ7mtoKREq3kFnL7PiexqqeXWF2ofim4NYSotPPx_cVa378/s400/Elizabeth+Taylor+Cat+on+a+hot+Tin+Roof.jpg" /><br />The collection silhouetes play off of these themes in long flowing evening dresses in deep rich colors, that showcase couture hand applique, and fine detailing in each dress piece. Having long flowing dresses contrasted with open side slits, sweetheart necklines, and teardrop backs revealing portions of skin in the most flattering way harkens back to these rich movie histories.</div><div><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 314px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700820378310437842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtOO6oj3z6LHJZH4HBEMWh55Lnn5LBWE8fhOhpmOT2bs589Hygv8EcpK03SPB5w9o71lzln1TgBiU4whE2lGmx-vxOk3WzUOdiO9dSCFRgjuKBW1-YHdSyY2M4FVSSmgDifWp2Tn6DG3I/s400/audrey-hepburn-sabrina.jpg" /><br />Similarly the ideas of embodied symbolisms of women deity and elemental references which have led the collection to reflect upon the four natural elements of earth, fire, wind and water. Showcasing these classic hollywood women in the light of fire, in the breath of air, etc in an attempt to bring each garment to life with motion and light. Within the visceral potent film that accompanies the main showcase at London Fashion Week will showcase these elements brought to a sophisticated reflection in the four main garments of the collection representing their four elements earth fire wind water. Through these elements and the film, the act and cycle of creation, destruction, then creation again are influenced upon the pieces in a way that embues each dress with a living entity in itself. Therefore the idea of this strong ephemeral woman almost becomes the symbolic woman, in both the eyes of the world (hollywood) and in nature as this immortal diety.<br /><br />A deity is a recognized preternatural or supernatural immortal being, who may be thought of as holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, and respected by believers.</div></div>Jeffrey Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18391080004611535684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671995849849069250.post-49744985265604392182011-12-09T18:05:00.000-08:002011-12-09T18:09:30.740-08:00Summer Couture<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXs9RMDd341V04z3HliXiailjNjXnamKrf9jHwTDLV5xMISCnzQgk8SUlGjM2hc950IseekJc_gUfc8nEP3VusVRYxKfp4kLp9Df2gfFfuXOXRgfwpONauPagKJXJdJpeDb-abkyW1uSQ/s1600/Mark+Small+3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 231px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684315628017060594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXs9RMDd341V04z3HliXiailjNjXnamKrf9jHwTDLV5xMISCnzQgk8SUlGjM2hc950IseekJc_gUfc8nEP3VusVRYxKfp4kLp9Df2gfFfuXOXRgfwpONauPagKJXJdJpeDb-abkyW1uSQ/s400/Mark+Small+3.jpg" /></a><br /><br />This summer was busy and exciting and Jeffrey Michael was all over the US, Canada, and Europe.<br /><br />One exciting project were custom made pieces for Mark Sheppard, talent force who has been travelling around the world performing, most recently in Glasgow's street performers festival.

Jeffrey Michael has scoured the continents locating the brightest and most talented to assist in the creation of this line which means so much to the brand and will always be remembered as a first.<br /><br />In being asked by many press, and industry friends again and again what the collection will feel like compared to previous works or designers a rough likening can be taken to reaching for that of <a href="http://www.alexandermcqueen.com/">Alexander Mcqueen</a> meets <a href="http://www.eliesaab.com/#/en/haute-couture/fw-2011-2012/25/2">Elie Saab</a>, and flowing creatively like that of Early <a href="http://thierrymugler.tumblr.com/archive">Thierry Mugler </a>meets <a href="http://www.irisvanherpen.com/site/">Iris Van Herpen</a>. Of course these masters have their very own distinct styles, but it is difficult to pinpoint where a designer fits in amongst such great names.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUYzHAxBdRI3aMJqQ7H4Y0Uw2SpTS7gRaFRpSUMvx3KqHTrFW0tnzgsstbTWgm2W_dclWiK4mvYKjib_-WHQQQArLvMLaD7q0VqasrHb2CI-PsC0VWTo28W4mi94zx5aAr7SrlJBvI5eU/s1600/tall+grass.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 283px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679368453982190450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUYzHAxBdRI3aMJqQ7H4Y0Uw2SpTS7gRaFRpSUMvx3KqHTrFW0tnzgsstbTWgm2W_dclWiK4mvYKjib_-WHQQQArLvMLaD7q0VqasrHb2CI-PsC0VWTo28W4mi94zx5aAr7SrlJBvI5eU/s400/tall+grass.jpg" /></a><br />Pushing those ideas and feelings forward the collection also uniquely expresses ideas of <strong>organic and natural material</strong> exploration, layered textiles and textures, and the use of natural layering and organic methods found in plants, animals and nature.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggdVpzbMhn4rykvtM96hFRfd9UIXVpTLK9RiLE8gnj7IS3idt8Sy4HAm3KfxN3H6HgIu2h8p33mjwwbnuv7NwPtFHpwvpjRCm10TUC_SWY23o5iUJNtiTBE6dJ-bTM3xWUS60SR-YONXU/s1600/wheat-production.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679367727853686690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggdVpzbMhn4rykvtM96hFRfd9UIXVpTLK9RiLE8gnj7IS3idt8Sy4HAm3KfxN3H6HgIu2h8p33mjwwbnuv7NwPtFHpwvpjRCm10TUC_SWY23o5iUJNtiTBE6dJ-bTM3xWUS60SR-YONXU/s400/wheat-production.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Furthermore, the debut will continue to explore ideas of <strong>integrating technology</strong> that Jeffrey Michael has explored with his previous showpiece explorations. Integrating lighting, and expressive technologies will always be a reoccuring theme for collections to come as Jeffrey Michael wishes to press the boundaries and understanding of clothing as we experience it on our body, and where clothing will be in 5 - 10 years from now.<br /><br /><br />Lastly the collection will attempt to explore beautiful evening wear, and signature pieces fit for <strong>red carpet</strong>, as well as for the budding pop star, and actress royalty that have accepted and announced fashion as a seamless existence for their expanding experiences in fame and the public world we know and love.<br /><br /><br />Jeffrey Michael is excited and ready to finally display this explore and anticipated launch and will be showing in <strong>February at London Fashion Week</strong>, followed by showroom in Paris. Some discussions have began for the collection to show at a very exclusive sect of Canada's Toronto Fashion Week, but more on that as it becomes official.<br /><br /><br />Wish us luck !<br />Jeffrey xxJeffrey Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18391080004611535684noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671995849849069250.post-89321747695551200372011-09-07T11:42:00.000-07:002011-09-07T12:04:50.715-07:00SLiNK Magazine Interview<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7zo2nq62G1xEVtAf2Eac5QY-xw8g-_i9r3NpUL4mcoYbal7gVURvv2NK2eYM9tWCpXHcZLv5WbowXc0kf4i5mrPl9w9rrFIeY6Pio3u_f8UH3PxfRyQQEJGOUuLO8Qji40cJBqOO0GQ8/s1600/Slink+issue+3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 199px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649692603667024162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7zo2nq62G1xEVtAf2Eac5QY-xw8g-_i9r3NpUL4mcoYbal7gVURvv2NK2eYM9tWCpXHcZLv5WbowXc0kf4i5mrPl9w9rrFIeY6Pio3u_f8UH3PxfRyQQEJGOUuLO8Qji40cJBqOO0GQ8/s400/Slink+issue+3.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.slinkmagazine.com/">SLinkmagazine.com</a><br /><br />A new exciting article in <a href="http://www.slinkmagazine.com/">SLiNK magazine</a> by me is heating up as one of the main features of this new issue.

Meeting Gabi last year in NYC on the Brooklyn Bridge supporting her during an amazing plus sized fashion show as one of her challenges to win the spot on MTV set into motion an amazing exciting friendship that has lead to this wicked interview in the magazine.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRSQvSjPm47IKUpPK8qNUjYG96ClHI5p3bUoaIQixX7jvyLFuf2ELuH8CRQa8XmcKcfuD8j6oPX1jXs5w2GY2ZC4c4iYmy6qUee6tbOle0zyNLjY779iuRDebdLG2ZI3cGQYTKvzIgMJI/s1600/Slink+2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649693679212334178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRSQvSjPm47IKUpPK8qNUjYG96ClHI5p3bUoaIQixX7jvyLFuf2ELuH8CRQa8XmcKcfuD8j6oPX1jXs5w2GY2ZC4c4iYmy6qUee6tbOle0zyNLjY779iuRDebdLG2ZI3cGQYTKvzIgMJI/s400/Slink+2.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhclNRwTN6OB7OhJCPEuggnsYJXvROazTRsvGdo_zm5PYj3SORHqSar1uY2G6JizogijuTl9Kn5GXRu4BCy3ZnOLub-FeXdXBE70p3p_CMQlJR_lAuOaGWUeGN4EwI_JreKr-h9PHqbpgo/s1600/Slink+1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649693584499958818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhclNRwTN6OB7OhJCPEuggnsYJXvROazTRsvGdo_zm5PYj3SORHqSar1uY2G6JizogijuTl9Kn5GXRu4BCy3ZnOLub-FeXdXBE70p3p_CMQlJR_lAuOaGWUeGN4EwI_JreKr-h9PHqbpgo/s400/Slink+1.jpg" /></a><br />A conversation about body image, understanding what it has been like on her journey to fame and styling, as well as touching on how things have changed her blog and outlook on the world.

This is a magzine for women of all sizes, and promotes women wearing fashionable exciting season's trends. This magazine is groundbreaking in its ideas about marketing to the entire world's average sized woman, but does it in a way that is all about the fashion and lifestyle, and not about promoting a cause.

Specifically, like last summer JM has been working hard at moving the brand and its goals int New York City.<br /><br />Already having visited Los Angeles and New York City once to meet new contacts, discuss possibilities with one of a kind stores, and to meet with investors, JMD is returning this week to New York City for some of the biggest meetings to date for the brand.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2GWbnz2Dek2KPV7iGykhtAOnbBxfmTb-cjZXI01A01f7wb-b-PrnmbOcZfZ67MhNBSKMnBlUMc06nSVUQoV6deSRuXDr3RIm9ulvfDEn-RbuJtZFCflthN121M1ePq-R-Gla5T5XFZa0/s1600/P1030104.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626044299152354466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2GWbnz2Dek2KPV7iGykhtAOnbBxfmTb-cjZXI01A01f7wb-b-PrnmbOcZfZ67MhNBSKMnBlUMc06nSVUQoV6deSRuXDr3RIm9ulvfDEn-RbuJtZFCflthN121M1ePq-R-Gla5T5XFZa0/s400/P1030104.JPG" /></a><br />(In LA at the Maxfactor / Hollywood Musuem - this is wear they made Marilyn blonde !)<br /><br />A major goal and meeting that is set up is that of finding a New York City based PR so that Jeffrey Michael may expand into North America. Already doing very well in London it is time to harness the connections and thrust that has naturally been happening in the many clients and suggested work in this fantastic city. JM will be meeting also with some very interested parties who want to show Jeffrey Michael at New York Fashion week in a very sexy avant garde location.<br /><br />Jeffrey Michael Design has been working with excitement and heavy hand at creating the first capsule collection which will be presented in Kiev in the Ukraine this October to the international press. This fantastic city laid host to Jeffrey Michael and his creations last March to amazing response and revue. Presenting, mingling, and being interviewed by the talents of Kiev including Daria Shapavola, and meeting with previous head of Russian Vogue Alena Porkskova, JMD was encouraged to create its first capsule collection to be reviewed by the international press.<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhns8CGjAk9oEtJ1LWBtag4bpt1TDCb5GTiNTPS3rtkfEGcrmwIdNl9F56idrSA2AbK0KKQBsGKoB2SL0Nej-hJKv7DcrDbKGooAIg8-fZ2YMXmoxLKbH8iFx8fBRm3KrN4gkbn5GWz42Y/s1600/Kiev+Fashion+Days+1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

The piece was conceived to showcase dark twisted sophistication, highlighting aspects from such references as MadMax, and Metropolis along with the signature Jeffrey Michael Design lightup features. The look was created using a combination between reclaimed old film reel, cassette reel, and several other layered films with overlaid lighting to be seen carrying offstage. The look came off as seamless, haunting, and perfectly executed thanks to Anna's amazing skill and vision for Jessie to be surrounded by beautiful mocking lips and trapped within the lighting.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFILMkf0aJaU9fYjAh5tjv6xY4QS8vx0CA3E4UDR3hsYj1JQmDG5ngbe4nGcNiGL0I4_CaMWVQFj0aQ4uFnGarWlQPQikaRgDF3q4Z6JI7aaHf74a-7o1Y5HMaKInTwicjYlwr-tOPXNM/s1600/Jessie_11.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 159px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601517820713479026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFILMkf0aJaU9fYjAh5tjv6xY4QS8vx0CA3E4UDR3hsYj1JQmDG5ngbe4nGcNiGL0I4_CaMWVQFj0aQ4uFnGarWlQPQikaRgDF3q4Z6JI7aaHf74a-7o1Y5HMaKInTwicjYlwr-tOPXNM/s400/Jessie_11.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_-i3p_PoTC9KTkcGlfNuGVbSg73J0JdAMnx2NG8U5ABAdQc-nXa_aWyeQvashU_iFjT3UUbbrsJdnqWEtNcCoA7QyCeerq2iCnjvjsyWlMDrfqJO3JPX-351DzXxjpJ0i5f0kBX6JxIw/s1600/Jessie_9.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 198px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601518132345879810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_-i3p_PoTC9KTkcGlfNuGVbSg73J0JdAMnx2NG8U5ABAdQc-nXa_aWyeQvashU_iFjT3UUbbrsJdnqWEtNcCoA7QyCeerq2iCnjvjsyWlMDrfqJO3JPX-351DzXxjpJ0i5f0kBX6JxIw/s400/Jessie_9.jpg" /></a><br />" It's one of the most honest and raw songs on there...

The piece soft lights through its dense organic material to illuminate soft brown lighting over its wearing party. </div><br /><div>Made to be slightly asymetrical and to be worn open on the cover, Louis made this piece come to life. Shot by the amazing Karl Lake, and brought to life in the garden area outside Louis's studio space, we spent the day with him getting the story of our lifetime from a true gentleman.

This included my second major artist of the summer, the incredibly talented <a href="http://www.myspace.com/farrowtone">Farrowtone</a>.</div><br /><br /><div>Breaking out into the charts and climbing higher and higher with his current single "<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/bedroom/id373263089?i=373263112&ign-mpt=uo%3D6">Bedroom</a>" (currently sitting at number 13). His music is soft, silky, and a throwback to the greats like Frank Sinatra, and Elvis Presley. Mix that sound with a modern soft beat and you've got some of the best chill, sexy time music around.</div><br /><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 296px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529793427414811922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcGc0XjHKfyywaYZyVBZR-OiwC2GiN4LHJwpbCvhdMgVjCl9sTcWDA78lP8gdz7OiULifuNtgyoUdTxjWhrUpYfm_FSwbbql_UICD8v5BgoVgU1SrpUL7la8YUv_nKfXRayXA5bLuz0PY/s400/_MG_2960.jpg" /><br /><div>Another artist under the Caelum Entertainment wing, Farrowtone introduced himself to me mid summer, and we clicked instantly. Immediately seeing him as classic, old hollywood, and a bit modern day Elvis Presley, the case was open to create a new meaningful look that balanced out his music and persona.</div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529793167200363538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhny1mzojX8XPvY8R-H0d6O9fE16yWDZrEkFScd57_UEpJ_Fk6Q6C05nzlIzsN2-i-SewRmoUFoaR9pdbWPO8FNkvdMhLetoVkRMk09PfI8tThHWQYh5-pz_pgJvanJzIB-F12TFu9h-8o/s400/_MG_3018.jpg" /><br /><br /><div>I wanted to create on him something that both evoked the lavish hollywood in golds, and jet blacks, as well as bringing a very soft masculine fit to whatever was created. In my journeys to the MET and Natural History Musuem (countless ideas brewing) I was inspired in the knight wing. I saw there knights in formation riding into battle full plated with underlink chain fitting the body. </div><br /><br /><div>Finally weaving this into a soft tight cut dress shirt as a shoulder piece topped with a modern custom made JMD pair of glasses and we were set for our shooting day. We took shots for both potential album covers, and for promotional shots. Thanks to the wicked Frank Kuzler of <a href="http://www.dedpro.com/php/index.php">DeadPro Inc</a>. was our photographer shooting up a storm. Also keep your eyes peeled for his next single coming out in November and shows in California, NYC, Miami and hopefully London!

The track was created by the talented Gaetano Lattanzi of <a href="http://caelumentertainment.com/">Caelum Entertainment</a>.</div><br /><div>The look I created for Sterling8 was "<strong>organic futurism</strong>", a play between a not to distant future and the earth, in which design and clothing had morphed so far as to come back around to the organic natural materials. This piece (below), titled "Aztec Warrior" has shapes designed in a protective armor patterning, while the materiality contradicts the piece in its soft, colorful layered papers.</div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 298px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527885768337232418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAJJcbb326xRIjf_PGl76kEgPf0Ddf4QMLi1FNk27mfRqGVTILq-gwwo2wWRB2yHxuD6dU_CRLuwqinfYQw79px0BZ6OOun4z8TvP8yXSS6gBeb6ypvjh0dJgsqrXGHNKiBPHT2tgMZig/s400/Sterling+Album.jpg" /><br /><div>The next look (below) along the same theme needed to create a new look for his soon to be released second single which is a sweet, sexy, and powerful creator playing off the instinct for love. Therefore the piece was darker, more mysterious, and played into the duality by pairing a glass woven corset, with a soft organic neckpiece made of flowing red maple leaves. Both piece reflect off of each other to create a dynamic and exciting soon to be release for his upcoming song.</div><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527890228122260450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZdGLUt9QVhNDvlC0FZxyPkKxzHuB_jhrCgpaqeB6zbM7CWQOtDjrTJWO3poWUtw7NDlvqcc_zQaOXQd165wS67pwqbfHW4fbIv1Ki0I3Zc2LTsXEzeC31IDLd7COBKaw4DXnO1Ch8pYQ/s400/Fire+Neckpiece+Sterling.jpg" /> <div>The last look was a mix of the dynasties that Sterling is so attracted to; Egypt, Atlantis, and Rome, all in the styling and hair (created by the fantastic Broadway hair and makeup Jon Carter who came in with his fantastic team for the shoots).

JMD worked with <a href="http://www.random-magazine.com/">Random Magazine </a>to come up with a couture one-of-a-kind dress for their September Issue magazine, featured both on the front cover and inside. The dress is fully made of paper from the previous Random magazine cover and insides, and came from Jeffrey's quest to create the ironic twist of having the magazine's own cover on its new cover by way of the dress. Diana's songs and music have been much loved by JMD since her time on XFactor, and it was an exciting adventure to bring this piece to life and to light just for her.

These pieces, which are ideal for lofts, art gallery, showrooms, and larger installtion spaces in offices or wide open-spaced homes, offer a clean luxurious soft lighting. They are made by hand in the artists studio, with no two being the exact same. Each photo is carefully selected for color and placement and the overal look is prescribed uniqely to each installation. The deep colored trim is smooth and organic in contrast to the vintage iconographic photographs, dated victorian newspapers, or antiquated music sheets used to create the light screen. Each screen is hand made, and the topography of the ridges and valleys of the central piece is unique and one of a kind to each piece. The inspiration from these larger than life pieces came from the work of Andy Warhol in his study of iconic faces and moments in time which have lasted over the ages in our minds. Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Rita Hayworth, Elizabeth Taylor. All integrated into a flowing tapestry of light and movie history. Presented in soft organic lighting, and bold enough to become a conversation piece in any grand space. </div><div><br />Trained as a classic architect, Jeffrey Michael the designer started off his designs 5 years ago in Canada. He moved fluently between architecture and lighting design during this time in his projects. After several trips to Paris and London, this collection features the presentation of many years of reflection and study into the dynamics between iconic aged imagery in his lighting design. His other collections also feature sit and stand lamps with vintage papers including ones fashioned with old shakespearian poetry and old vintage comics to create unique one of a kind lamps.</div><div><br />Height by Width - 1.73 meter by 1.73 - vintage movie stills - lit from behind, fire proofed, max 60 watt bulbs - energy efficient, LED, or low wattage bulbs<br />07552607694</div><div><br /><a href="http://www.jeffreymichaeldesign.co.uk/">http://www.jeffreymichaeldesign.co.uk/</a><br /><a href="mailto:jeffreymichaeldesign@hotmail.com">jeffreymichaeldesign@hotmail.com</a><br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglAAdypeQRX_GNuoqGrhOgUjknvkKA_h-3yAkYFI0nC_CPGbe7zwY8UrRvbl4gT-HnUS-R92KRieX0c3xnQZXL2stXN8vfBTwwWsKiebh6LlOFzO87w_6GtToaC5nL_pKxxsSHaWmZ1so/s1600/P5090601+copy.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472031043450857106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglAAdypeQRX_GNuoqGrhOgUjknvkKA_h-3yAkYFI0nC_CPGbe7zwY8UrRvbl4gT-HnUS-R92KRieX0c3xnQZXL2stXN8vfBTwwWsKiebh6LlOFzO87w_6GtToaC5nL_pKxxsSHaWmZ1so/s400/P5090601+copy.jpg" /></a><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIDEWsAIiygf89uYL7aiuHeu96tYFAVXcvbpQwS1VqnZJpQkXQyPwnX9f55U9Ulxs3XHOqG9_uKFOBJouYcUsM6fxaNVPnbuzRzblHmFHBNz1-6zShNVfqmVo1jOiZ7EjUlbwUDtBUsUg/s1600/P5090625.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472030755826923314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIDEWsAIiygf89uYL7aiuHeu96tYFAVXcvbpQwS1VqnZJpQkXQyPwnX9f55U9Ulxs3XHOqG9_uKFOBJouYcUsM6fxaNVPnbuzRzblHmFHBNz1-6zShNVfqmVo1jOiZ7EjUlbwUDtBUsUg/s320/P5090625.JPG" /></a>These pieces are soon going to be entering into a lovely furniture art gallery fusion, "<a href="http://www.thecollectionuk.com/">The Collections</a>", in Chelsea on Kings Road in London, under the direction of a fantastic arts buyer. It marks the high end range of the Jeffrey Michael Design lighting collection and is a sneak preview from my autumn winter collection for next season. It has been a labor of love and in the future you will see me using more iconic images in more of a stencilled, exciting light and shadow way. These will be the pieces that garner the adoration of the people, as they will portray the royalty of our time in a way that Andy originally debut his pieces in his time. To us some of them have lost their luster, but images like Marilyn and Elvis and Liz have lived on into our pop culture as vibrant and bright images.</div><div> </div><div>(Now available in store for purchase)<br />Jeffrey xx<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi88VFTx3SgRKpXXrTx-noGPXaXbcBJKzZ3sZyhO7KAP46-99zjeK6UeVVu3PACtfCwpHiT8S_-cykHe6sVG_RExqzJppdYf1BcG1I5wO557wpAhkNeBvtpFZt71Ct3lt8gEgKlVarp5FE/s1600/P5090623.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472030580439750322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi88VFTx3SgRKpXXrTx-noGPXaXbcBJKzZ3sZyhO7KAP46-99zjeK6UeVVu3PACtfCwpHiT8S_-cykHe6sVG_RExqzJppdYf1BcG1I5wO557wpAhkNeBvtpFZt71Ct3lt8gEgKlVarp5FE/s320/P5090623.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div>Jeffrey Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18391080004611535684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671995849849069250.post-13193523081902426682010-04-14T05:22:00.000-07:002010-04-22T10:08:37.535-07:00Wonderland Magazine<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 302px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459978662722328050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisYSg3LMLP9JO2ThBaK-OmKlcFoYjoAWakJSv1Osv-JJxwStvOA18VXZCpheguv032rVRmoWhrH5sjVEPAYr6_yEtdrBP3V9VN5_Fun8MbtCEsKQxdoc8Pa_ozx8vfvGF1FIdXrwS4QH4/s400/wonderland-magazine-liv-tyler.jpg" /><br /><div>A new venture with Graphic Designer <a href="http://www.alisaafkhami.com/">Alisa Afkhami</a>, has lead to an amazing proposal and branding of Jeffrey Michael Design.

Four models with a edgy punk/rock look are styled in reference to <a href="http://www.fashion-stylist.net/blog/2009/03/03/an-interview-with-knitwear-designer-alice-palmer/">Alice Palmers </a>AU/W10 collection. (Studs, structure shoulders, Doc Martins, leather, etc). Jeffrey Michael light designs are incorporated, in either accessories or by adding to existing garments. Each model will have some element of lighting attached to them.</p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 317px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 231px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459979064232761906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZxwvjbGjBbKjZUjE0M_Qbykp_ooexh26mf-A5RNeuWUeJr38jP_syUGKKTxDiHT5nCpmBHEm3GI0UsgNirlikwFMct78jD86e19nG-cBDv4nhHjlISZ2q2roGdGMHvswAXKOf4covDvc/s320/Johnny+by+Peter+Ashenworth.jpg" />When light quickly flashes, sections of the styled models are revealed, but not revealing the whole piece. Flashing light begins to fade out and is replaced by the flashing of the costume piece, until light finally stabalises and stays on. (As if the lights on the garments are stealing the power from the florescent lights.) Again costume pieces are only shown in sections, giving viewer a small taster of the piece. Camera moves quickly from one shot to another, and from a variety of obscure angles. Last shot is longer than all others finishing with the Wonderland logo overlayed.<br />Big bass/eerie beats accompany the visuals, with the shots changing </p><div></span>Alice Palmer link - interviews - <a href="http://www.fashion-stylist.net/blog/2009/03/03/an-interview-with-knitwear-designer-alice-palmer/">http://www.fashion-stylist.net/blog/2009/03/03/an-interview-with-knitwear-designer-alice-palmer/</a></div><br /><div>Alisa Afkhami - Graphic Designer and Branding - <a href="http://www.alisaafkhami.com/">http://www.alisaafkhami.com/</a> </div><div></div><div>Bottom Shot of Johnny Lazer - Recently photographed by <a href="http://www.ashworth-photos.com/index.html">Peter Ashworth</a></div><div></div><div>- Jeffrey xx</div></div></div>Jeffrey Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18391080004611535684noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671995849849069250.post-40873949386061744382010-03-31T03:34:00.000-07:002010-04-15T07:00:52.979-07:00On The Set - Rimmel Makeup<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTTE4OqpI7RZhsgwOtd6x7HnPbZFfuZSUtzC95dos2gEjmq-0-Qh9iaYEY48YmfdIUD7trmwu3V2aZxedtIiANI8peyJjqMKFM6HfHP9IMTlIsrlILB1iyD1Wf8KNqyJC95NSXfrbTCnA/s1600/PA290040.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454778950877362306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTTE4OqpI7RZhsgwOtd6x7HnPbZFfuZSUtzC95dos2gEjmq-0-Qh9iaYEY48YmfdIUD7trmwu3V2aZxedtIiANI8peyJjqMKFM6HfHP9IMTlIsrlILB1iyD1Wf8KNqyJC95NSXfrbTCnA/s320/PA290040.JPG" /></a><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 238px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454761761123597362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha9-VFFjRJ7GGx-yUZtU6ta-w3N1kkleBz0fAJkhZoYrHcYyUh3hhx239UVxjWQ5qX9jB_RMY6wGcucisiViEsnp82WEGk0UBUwVD1xRmxufyOH8XfuSr6AFST1okJwh7T6-MrCPrXung/s320/Georgia+British+Vogue.jpg" /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c0ym7JzVfE&feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c0ym7JzVfE&feature=related</a></div><div></div><div>Finally revealed is the commercial I worked on last October, for <a href="http://www.rimmellondon.com/UK/OurFace/OurModelLooks.aspx?look=125">Rimmel London</a>, "get the london look" who's fabulous new spokeswomen are <a href="http://models.com/models/georgia-may-jagger">Georgia May Jagger</a> and <a href="http://www.coco-rocha.com/">Coco Rocha</a>. I had the honor and privelege of working with miss Jagger, and had the joy of her signing the British Vogue that came out that same month with her on the cover (of which she delightfully said was the first autograph she had ever been asked to sign!!). It was delightful to be on set, and Georgia could command a complete silence of about 50 odd people when she walked into the room from makeup. Young, beautiful and perfectly what Rimmel is all about.<br /><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454755723947667666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvo9XCBtDpre-BrWsX5MJ4kSdvDW0zD-wqkvvbksPQGx2xtoZqzS2otLmQy_LQvLNo33SEVmgMwMvDWrvdBIbqJFe7vSJ4SCmyZIBbV4_8xonmMNb2dzgDFP3g1-omuzzG6Doqt0Vxr-8/s400/PA290034.JPG" /><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454755344056693170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPfpMf5-JDd8Mq-TBGL739K2OqQ1R8Z19ol8B93deMT31iPMsLxG6ya17ReqcmdpwAeEddTQQNIq4jDWjqFEKDFIdn2JOMc3uxgEwadD7d3w2ttnlBbYdGFEaidc67mxeB8rY2OF_WKIc/s400/PA290018.JPG" /><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454755148805635986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOqK5yenLzSr3V4omacdxtUOBRWUD9tudG4-gjjNoUz55Xm-PRQQWTgR3e2bLxopcjiuttG61B_z7nyVjcM1QxvIlOoge9EP6_rSbu9SnvarQ_OGguzqSNWAOO9L7KaR8bx9fEG-6xuD8/s400/PA290027.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454755224668433202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuTYrCmPsbudZZqBpyDtSJ7LXSVQXjP9E0C1gU3g4q5OP9sgZ-2VAD3Iz0uAq8GIZ9yjP81SfXly-6-vK00x3IQblAbMg0FWTfmxyCqhbF0_dplLD_eTHNrXinbYNV2Y-MIfgXeTa5uZ8/s400/PA290016.JPG" /><br /><div>Linked on this page half way down is the "the making of video" , behind the scenes for both scenes in the arcade, and the internal tunnel which were both giant sets completely created from nothing. <a href="http://www.rimmellondon.com/UK/OurFace/OurModelLooks.aspx?look=125">http://www.rimmellondon.com/UK/OurFace/OurModelLooks.aspx?look=125</a> </div><br /><div>It was an amazing experience to watch over two days a white set the size of which could hold a small ship, to be transformed into a working arcade, and visually identical tube station.

In the behind the scenes you can see the first glimpses of the motorcycles and Georgia trying to hit the line, "get the london look" camera straight on, hair flowing.

The whole concept of the commercial was the girls "racing to the finish line" between Georgia and another up and coming beauty, Flip (her name) . The two girls started with a walk off, and then hopped on the 15 000 £ motor bikes to then race on. My job was to install the side lighting and game lighting to give the very masculine realistic motorcycle, a playful simulated look. The lighting used was color change LED nodes on sticky tape, which was attached and followed the lines of the motorcycle. Linked wirelessly to a controller I was onset for two days playing with the flashing colors which went from a static pinkish purple, to then flash through blue, red , green and yellow.<br /><div><div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454754255945545522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJor7G4grnBY9nqhmHXGT-Tt6qnEGzAFcmr56wIlp53PMx2IH6tBityjThteT7hDgbg38_ve1UyO3HjgJ4KgS7IKWKsphRrsNmRAyiNhWNdqDb3QyS0nYcI-ZoX61wQt0XIfqPoiPWoCI/s400/055.JPG" /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisME3Y-wteJyq-2dCz7Ay6XVs0R2Zb8NWXTpH9m06veZrtTlz2mw17y1jHbUM_TTFI0Zlp1vcIyetucF2yrNmS_trRzLXyI-NXIINyuciK_j0O7ffCMyA9fzG1z_2SY0jhLj2tllRbiNk/s1600/054.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454754148955315058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisME3Y-wteJyq-2dCz7Ay6XVs0R2Zb8NWXTpH9m06veZrtTlz2mw17y1jHbUM_TTFI0Zlp1vcIyetucF2yrNmS_trRzLXyI-NXIINyuciK_j0O7ffCMyA9fzG1z_2SY0jhLj2tllRbiNk/s400/054.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdIGsfLl1sdyudeJjf0pqlZHzaaxwntsw8L_nOybMMRk24en6ej81iGsi0pnBKrbs13fbTqOuwGx9UXM8EuLw2MYxvuGwZe7giROluv4a1Ov0GAx6LZGUzvhBQJDFjFRU6iv_Q6520Ci8/s1600/041.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454753119685812946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdIGsfLl1sdyudeJjf0pqlZHzaaxwntsw8L_nOybMMRk24en6ej81iGsi0pnBKrbs13fbTqOuwGx9UXM8EuLw2MYxvuGwZe7giROluv4a1Ov0GAx6LZGUzvhBQJDFjFRU6iv_Q6520Ci8/s400/041.JPG" /></a><br /><div><div><div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 227px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454751205423775058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6LzR3d_DgeaakpDdbrOUXL5LsT4X58-ZPIhOOPF7RNoMfYDGpon1F9EfJaYt93o6RpJW8Pbz81ww8l6cHdhzJiXSVPx5YXd0UkciypdOlEHb6Q89urS1fND9f4gJ8rzskzctyyrk_vxY/s400/ktm+black+and+fuscia+-+morgan.jpeg" /></div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454751103412595042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwwIJP7Xu5NE5SJ-2ib1gtJuM4MpivVdRdreYIwCSr3CxHdgqCgEjvgVLTktE-e7eYOKf96arGez-08zWHkizu4Ptc4oJi4Bxdb2JLXzd0fRrSKdj4LlxBZMUodhzShyvahXipQ3wEwjk/s400/bikearcv2+-+Morgan.jpeg" />An amazing learning adventure, and totally professional cast and crew, and a lovely new cover model <a href="http://models.com/models/georgia-may-jagger">Georgia May Jagger</a> for Rimmel London.</div><div><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 199px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 236px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454775606829440530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7NARd7BYcS-7bdp9w2qFkAptOIVTvc2wfwu47PM7PrwsYOAcS9adkd7XcTSHdcBdzd9MmpBEJC_s9xOV7uey4ACRkiWLHAXmUanntren8sJBDSAxnK8nN_2tSv6p6Je6I7xjx0YIkbHc/s320/well+003.JPG" /><br /><div>Links to the cover of Georgia - British Vogue November 09 - <a href="http://models.com/work/british-vogue-british-vogue-november-cover/12984">http://models.com/work/british-vogue-british-vogue-november-cover/12984</a></div><br /><div></div>Link to Coco Rocha fab site - <a href="http://www.coco-rocha.com/">http://www.coco-rocha.com/</a><br /></div><div>Link again to the commercial - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c0ym7JzVfE&feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c0ym7JzVfE&feature=related</a><br /><br /><div>Rendered Images of motorcycles by Morgan Kennedy and thanks to everyone on set !

From a chance meeting in the <a href="http://www.misskikisalonpresents.co.uk/">Miss Kiki Salon</a> debut party for a line of beautiful scarves (at the Reading Room) last February came a sequence of meet-ups and discussions over the fashion week festivities. Before hearing Gabby perform in person for the very first time that evening, Gabby had spoken with me and requested some lovely lamps that she had seen in a beautiful photograph and the chance to work together on future set design and costume design. Over the next few days of catwalked venues and afterpartys we forged a new friendship and a beautiful new vision for the upcoming show at the <a href="http://www.bloomsburyballroom.co.uk/gallery.html">Bloosmburry Ballroom </a>that cullminated in a very rich and rewarding design experience.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWpTX9Sv0jon9rz_jafynLr-q0T2vvLcoFRfaontJAHpTWfDhw8NT-2i6cfs6T-DZImtyji-2DND2XiB7PKRG6vuTWfYEFkJZbjPirCgVwX-6RtAewZYEswo_av8XjE5dqo-ZsKU6h9pA/s1600-h/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-259+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448115830453683682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWpTX9Sv0jon9rz_jafynLr-q0T2vvLcoFRfaontJAHpTWfDhw8NT-2i6cfs6T-DZImtyji-2DND2XiB7PKRG6vuTWfYEFkJZbjPirCgVwX-6RtAewZYEswo_av8XjE5dqo-ZsKU6h9pA/s400/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-259+Large.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8HOKNv7cTHfgwEve2cIalwYK3bNWf5vza2OsWIl9ZyJu25lmHlXgA5mh1G4qmEn6Rz7_tEzXcsuWdTobU4aSjhRHesetXliuw7562gXJMvMxsFJva5xakU36Aoh0UVU8Iw2b_C9ri5pI/s1600-h/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-278+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448115714062815458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8HOKNv7cTHfgwEve2cIalwYK3bNWf5vza2OsWIl9ZyJu25lmHlXgA5mh1G4qmEn6Rz7_tEzXcsuWdTobU4aSjhRHesetXliuw7562gXJMvMxsFJva5xakU36Aoh0UVU8Iw2b_C9ri5pI/s400/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-278+Large.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK3WIKSlFqt_gZ0Pv-Eqtr8AaKPG-uLrv9CI9EVMssrbALNGx9DaBKNrIqo5N_wq8EmJ0G1vgm1KMWAyAH9_uKkxG9svQ1daktNQ7hJnq6cxmkqHZza_sT23sf1sOnh8TqASUUStLvT6Q/s1600-h/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-292+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448115476244737826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK3WIKSlFqt_gZ0Pv-Eqtr8AaKPG-uLrv9CI9EVMssrbALNGx9DaBKNrIqo5N_wq8EmJ0G1vgm1KMWAyAH9_uKkxG9svQ1daktNQ7hJnq6cxmkqHZza_sT23sf1sOnh8TqASUUStLvT6Q/s400/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-292+Large.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGQz3Gu9kV37AtXYnQXj_o6h-vTjYgjFHZyyg8M3jJh_y_IWyo3e67BbdgUcVhyphenhyphenWxmDZa1T4kqPYP6Bk_AasS8HFCIQi0B9eOK6LvtTUUHKAVIL-N9t_dqOLTYUFbbiS-UJBS0wL_JmDk/s1600-h/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-107+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448115270950609874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGQz3Gu9kV37AtXYnQXj_o6h-vTjYgjFHZyyg8M3jJh_y_IWyo3e67BbdgUcVhyphenhyphenWxmDZa1T4kqPYP6Bk_AasS8HFCIQi0B9eOK6LvtTUUHKAVIL-N9t_dqOLTYUFbbiS-UJBS0wL_JmDk/s400/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-107+Large.jpg" /></a><br />The set concieved originally on a cocktail napkin over a quick brainstorm featured Gabby through a lovely frame for her to play and dance within. The stage was to be draped with hanging feature lighting all around her and the band like cave stalagmites. Mixed in with beautiful ambient colored lighting (purple and magenta) that the stage had been set with, the event went off without a hitch. The melencholy beauty of Gabby`s voice evoked something haunting and pointed in the center of the stomach as she danced through melody and songs .<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigXfsSLEVRhrpQXdZAvRsptAFeCn3EOz3hlLR0GLuT18uMghrsYDNL82f5Lt1i8YcUxCH4YtXGut_t1d-iskN4r4YqwnAQEl-gQZ79xWkOVnHZ4sZE6dBVpF4yft_jMWBnM1PtyDV42U4/s1600-h/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-14+Set+Design+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 270px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448115105188573090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigXfsSLEVRhrpQXdZAvRsptAFeCn3EOz3hlLR0GLuT18uMghrsYDNL82f5Lt1i8YcUxCH4YtXGut_t1d-iskN4r4YqwnAQEl-gQZ79xWkOVnHZ4sZE6dBVpF4yft_jMWBnM1PtyDV42U4/s400/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-14+Set+Design+Large.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVRiiDMrQRNtlhdzUEcpfp9AV9e4UEsob9eoW6SRYWLqMnAUKWxMwb1sLCvRj7gwec60RgBAfOCG_64Dc5OhPu-8TP7OfnqVWxDW2oki-febl4ofMSiIF_b5-pQkl_bTrqGgHYARll1-c/s1600-h/gabby3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 260px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448114938879443282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVRiiDMrQRNtlhdzUEcpfp9AV9e4UEsob9eoW6SRYWLqMnAUKWxMwb1sLCvRj7gwec60RgBAfOCG_64Dc5OhPu-8TP7OfnqVWxDW2oki-febl4ofMSiIF_b5-pQkl_bTrqGgHYARll1-c/s400/gabby3.jpg" /></a> Utilizing a full band, including horns, accordian, guitar, and drums, her sounds evokes something of a soft jazz, mixed with great upbeat harmonys. A bit of a mixture in my mind of several of my favorite artists (Feist, Amy Whinehouse, Florence and the Machines), there is something unique and new about Gabby`s sound and collection of animals. Her heart and soul come out with each song, and the enjoyment is clearly readable within each passing moment of her onstage. With many thanks and shout outs, the sets went too quickly for my likes and we were quickly into the final part of the evening. </div><br /><br /><div>Afterwards Gabby graced the ballroom for mingling in the Fire Necklace. Worn in a new and unique way with the beautiful dress made by Salon Gabrielle, and married with beautiful hair extensions in glowing red, it was if the entire outfit was completely made from one glowing ember. Photographer <a href="http://arharvey.com/">Andrew Harvey </a>was onhand that evening to capture the mischief and mahem of the animals, as well as the creative stalls that were surrounding the outside of the dance floor. Jeffrey Michael Design displayed some of the Spring Summer 2010 lamp collection, that was also on stage as featured lighting.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLUkY603pJYq1FXPY-MZRNUaalzBpIB3C3t5Bbl-KGVK2DDIgti_7lhaIgArETvL5ctr0n7HDPWhgq8vuv6GZhAzHi5V34-GgLk-IGnPZ3GfVXoNfs354kU7VeB-a0L3STMDo7sJ04iUk/s1600-h/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-18+Set+Design+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448108633092494258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLUkY603pJYq1FXPY-MZRNUaalzBpIB3C3t5Bbl-KGVK2DDIgti_7lhaIgArETvL5ctr0n7HDPWhgq8vuv6GZhAzHi5V34-GgLk-IGnPZ3GfVXoNfs354kU7VeB-a0L3STMDo7sJ04iUk/s400/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-18+Set+Design+Large.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib4W_qeTykd9xZ-Bf3hltwuaZLYslNmHpxgfowjGaH0AxLQ1_WkWIaq_HLo_2C0cU-wJFfNepVl-dtowlDKvDs2Zy9NV6QUwyJfZuyL3CoB84y4oP03gPjiswj0CHRXS4jjG1Cdq4xunY/s1600-h/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-32+Set+Design+Large.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448108251235521954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib4W_qeTykd9xZ-Bf3hltwuaZLYslNmHpxgfowjGaH0AxLQ1_WkWIaq_HLo_2C0cU-wJFfNepVl-dtowlDKvDs2Zy9NV6QUwyJfZuyL3CoB84y4oP03gPjiswj0CHRXS4jjG1Cdq4xunY/s320/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-32+Set+Design+Large.jpg" /></a> </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448107795323296706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR5LrO1oGjWERNcOMAWc-Na38Wvf1EX6UhVzM4x-6XNoXg8egwJNQ2zIkfbBpUEMXJ-e5wch_jmSECDgKN4yZlgzsjsTpSTYSdZ9jflBM-euKYVSbhuUsJ1jvRA1xROeKM-AE5xael1NQ/s400/Gabby+Young+and+Other+Animals-31+Set+Design+Large.jpg" /></div><br /><div>Finally the evening closed with Gabby, Andrew and myself in a tiny corner hallway, of which we found the most beautiful area for photos of the Fire Neckpiece. (top two photos) Against the soft purples and blues of the stage streaming through antique glass, Gabby crouched down a small set of side stage stairs and put on a tremendous face after such an amazing set on stage. Tired, and almost last in the house, we captured some of my favorite images to date. Thanks to everyone who was involved in making this a night to remember, including Brett (Gabby`s manager), Miss Kiki (for the stalls and amazing dress), the band, and the amazing people at the Bloomsburry Ballroom who helped me get everything together onstage. Looking forward to several opportunities in the summer that have come from this including several stages at a huge 5000 person music festival, of which Gabby will also be playing :) !! </div><br /><br /><div>Jeffrey xx<br /></div><div><div><a href="http://www.gabbyyoungandotheranimals.com/">http://www.gabbyyoungandotheranimals.com/</a> - the official website for Gabby<br /></div><div></div><a href="http://www.misskikisalonpresents.co.uk/">http://www.misskikisalonpresents.co.uk/</a> - salon gabrielle<br /><br /><div><a href="http://blog.arharvey.com/2010/03/gabby-young-and-other-animals.html">http://blog.arharvey.com/2010/03/gabby-young-and-other-animals.html</a> - photos of the set and light up neckpiece worn by Gabby taken by Andrew Harvey<br /></div><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/pascalgregoire">www.youtube.com/pascalgregoire</a> - the event in video :) !<br /></div><br /><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxcV2lz9jTg&feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxcV2lz9jTg&feature=related</a> - my favorite song official video :) ! - Gabby Young and Other Animals - "We're All in This Together" Official Music Video *HD*<br /></div><br /><div><a href="http://garethsgigs.wordpress.com/2010/03/05/gabby-young-other-animals-bloomsbury-ballroom-thurs-4th-march/">http://garethsgigs.wordpress.com/2010/03/05/gabby-young-other-animals-bloomsbury-ballroom-thurs-4th-march/</a> - pics of the stage<br /></div><div><a href="http://www.smvblog.com/nonita/?p=5618So">http://www.smvblog.com/nonita/?p=5618So</a> - interview and background of Gabby<br /></div><br /><div><a href="http://www.myspace.com/gabbyyoung">http://www.myspace.com/gabbyyoung</a> - what band is complete without the myspace !!

An up and coming director with a talent for creating moving and resenating moments, Sarah has her own theatre company which claims space at this site here : <a href="http://www.whitespacetheatre.com/">http://www.whitespacetheatre.com/</a> We met several months ago quite by chance through friends and began upon a journey that resulted in a very well acted and performed play. The play debuted at the Albany Theatre from the 3 - 5 of March, and was very acclaimed by audience members, some saying after that the play that it`captured a character that came from their own life`, and that `appealed to their own questions about the insanity of the day to day`.<br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsULwGkr2XnJGspl5yDssrJ4k4W9GdKmDkXNph6q2sWExeGy1rpIUye0Wn5AP2wQtgpAebDIraNX5TEBrH7C-S0cGpkLfgN0pEOHG0h0Q2aKFF78JvrIkFCJfBv7GBQLq0iTEiurLBOwM/s1600-h/300+Friends-606+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447116554092128034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsULwGkr2XnJGspl5yDssrJ4k4W9GdKmDkXNph6q2sWExeGy1rpIUye0Wn5AP2wQtgpAebDIraNX5TEBrH7C-S0cGpkLfgN0pEOHG0h0Q2aKFF78JvrIkFCJfBv7GBQLq0iTEiurLBOwM/s400/300+Friends-606+Large.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl0f4TguyjxRuYXvJS_QOUTMKBTifsIzZzDiBhzdsUGkJgsGW8vUCC4Z3TxaMCce5L2BDdE21qvIsqaapewfzB8Re41a6LY7_qB4Qa39SACJVH5oJwDifcOJ03By2TInVQT_xFwziqAzs/s1600-h/300+Friends-259+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447115831329754930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl0f4TguyjxRuYXvJS_QOUTMKBTifsIzZzDiBhzdsUGkJgsGW8vUCC4Z3TxaMCce5L2BDdE21qvIsqaapewfzB8Re41a6LY7_qB4Qa39SACJVH5oJwDifcOJ03By2TInVQT_xFwziqAzs/s400/300+Friends-259+Large.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRQD1arY2Fs9DGTGG7giwKUlIC6tvMDgirUV2RiyUK_8BFWWM4B0KR69Wie8GDqMmi3mxGFGmhL6LXCdyOEur8lOt6rb58eaOsUHr4vc4tW7jBDGdCruvdT2DXiG4a1-1Rv6_H2H3sMhs/s1600-h/300+Friends-16+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447115293193587602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRQD1arY2Fs9DGTGG7giwKUlIC6tvMDgirUV2RiyUK_8BFWWM4B0KR69Wie8GDqMmi3mxGFGmhL6LXCdyOEur8lOt6rb58eaOsUHr4vc4tW7jBDGdCruvdT2DXiG4a1-1Rv6_H2H3sMhs/s400/300+Friends-16+Large.jpg" /></a> </div><br /><div>The screens for the set design were created in a similar method to my lamp making process. They were important to the play as they embodied the idea of absent authority and static in the scene, used in a way physically that in combination with spot lighting demarked rooms on a set. At points the characters interacted in a central living room space, and at other times had conversation alone and together in their own rooms. Each space overlapped and therefore the set had to be cleverly able to adapt to each charcters feeling and mood for the lines performed. A very key set piece that I had imagined from the beginning was a moveable chandelier which is almost a main character in the play. Its main use is to motivate the plot forward and to challenge all the characters. The chandelier began in the play lowered near the ground and broken, promting the household to have to fix it. Through this broken experience it reveal`s each characters dreams, hopes, anxt, and troubles in how they do or don`t attempt to fix the lamp. At points in the play characters lift the chandelier, play with it, fight with it, and finally at a pivotol climax, raise the lamp up after fixing it, symbolizing freedom and clarity.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgInE19x7rUP2gzf0GoHwEF1SOQvD103tAkbcuir0_DYNpxmOCjwy1IjbDyuAgvFgdGZwX0873wOBbKpNJ65rA1p4zutRD3JUiS1Cm2WfPC75bcV5lj87GJrDMjhFIdkGtv9gPEVS4CGe8/s1600-h/300+Friends-132+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447114446412976402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgInE19x7rUP2gzf0GoHwEF1SOQvD103tAkbcuir0_DYNpxmOCjwy1IjbDyuAgvFgdGZwX0873wOBbKpNJ65rA1p4zutRD3JUiS1Cm2WfPC75bcV5lj87GJrDMjhFIdkGtv9gPEVS4CGe8/s400/300+Friends-132+Large.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS6zugNo-fzMdTGKMu8KKYIfDq62dgYmMHWy0ks3ow5kOFOkBu8i_zBjwLNtighyITsVHqo1PUcNsr-zQOPBcgxQT0mhyphenhyphen_MdacSESU8FjRYdrQon2oC1uMjysq4Q5IAQyPaCspb8xLe7w/s1600-h/300+Friends-172+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447114060927262642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS6zugNo-fzMdTGKMu8KKYIfDq62dgYmMHWy0ks3ow5kOFOkBu8i_zBjwLNtighyITsVHqo1PUcNsr-zQOPBcgxQT0mhyphenhyphen_MdacSESU8FjRYdrQon2oC1uMjysq4Q5IAQyPaCspb8xLe7w/s400/300+Friends-172+Large.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk_y82s5CqmYYlQY7Bd_OVlj2aYJEEsXnMBoHHubaVGgpxpu3HgzpwhcIK9ZZLAG4PTtFw-mXkrKSqd-mrl8Yhe41BkwUu-JV63oPqevnoZfOQYgyB8iDMnEg8suVQkd5iVqDMtwCNDNg/s1600-h/300+Friends-23+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447113775401565426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk_y82s5CqmYYlQY7Bd_OVlj2aYJEEsXnMBoHHubaVGgpxpu3HgzpwhcIK9ZZLAG4PTtFw-mXkrKSqd-mrl8Yhe41BkwUu-JV63oPqevnoZfOQYgyB8iDMnEg8suVQkd5iVqDMtwCNDNg/s400/300+Friends-23+Large.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdno0zVpL6SghtoUR4DyZhyphenhyphenO1s8bAyisETGAe6S7aRNuv2zKNw0LoGKtyqwx8OHjL5o8m2DPV1gHKd_m0ijNKCJnFJCv9Vnbt4Z7OIc3MN-tjYkqZCPTK0MCc9F2jabJT6UKWlhZFoMcU/s1600-h/300+Friends-590+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447113243863091746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdno0zVpL6SghtoUR4DyZhyphenhyphenO1s8bAyisETGAe6S7aRNuv2zKNw0LoGKtyqwx8OHjL5o8m2DPV1gHKd_m0ijNKCJnFJCv9Vnbt4Z7OIc3MN-tjYkqZCPTK0MCc9F2jabJT6UKWlhZFoMcU/s400/300+Friends-590+Large.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnh0Puta7OMWI2X4SNcRxrkxbt7W7cVJUpKIwD_amZUz1RB6RbKC8V_KgAaSYkqnHO69ion-9iiJmd_DJaeyYaKa8fnUP3GDGU2Z7beu6N4aFED1fub4u5LhzcmIMcUMHFwKq-zmwXL0A/s1600-h/300+Friends-267+Set+Design+Large.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447112949486630514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnh0Puta7OMWI2X4SNcRxrkxbt7W7cVJUpKIwD_amZUz1RB6RbKC8V_KgAaSYkqnHO69ion-9iiJmd_DJaeyYaKa8fnUP3GDGU2Z7beu6N4aFED1fub4u5LhzcmIMcUMHFwKq-zmwXL0A/s400/300+Friends-267+Set+Design+Large.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />An amazing journey and a really beautiful venue.
