Hoda attacks!

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Hi folks,

Will here.  There’s a reason Bets and me are such a good team and that reason starts with i and ends with Phone.  Bets was all over the behind the scenes iPhone prep shots at our photo shoot on Sunday and I took care of the behind the scenes shoot shots!  By which I mean I took a lot of pictures, but I actually only kept this one.  But it’s RAD, right?!

This is our good friend Hoda in wearable art fashions sculpted by Jen Lamastra being shot by Kellie Kane with an entourage of fans and contributors looking on.  Can’t.  Wait.  For the.  FINAL SHOTS!

Weekend Inspiration and Perspiration!

Monday, August 30th, 2010

This weekend, Jen and I finished up the second half of this photo shoot.  I can’t tell you how happy I am, both at how incredible EVERYTHING looked and to have this shoot finished up (not because it was bad or hard or tedious or anything like that, but because my brain is currently spilling over and having this poured out gives me a little sloshing room upstairs).

Here are some behind the scenes shots!

Jen Lamastra working it

Huzzy "working" it.

We made our models sit on the ground in a parking lot.

That's right... on the ground. In a parking lot. Thanks, girls!

Mohawk Mmmmmm!

Are you joking!? Amazing.

I can’t wait to show you what these girls wore… the recycled fashions Jen made were incredible.  The makeup by Claudine looked wonderful; Kellie Kane, our photographer, was a delight to work with; of course the jewelry by yours truly was stunning, and the models were so patient, generous, bold, and beautiful.  But guess what!  I was so excited down at the beach that I completely forgot to take any shots.

I know.  I’ve let you down.  I’ve let myself down.  See why I need more sloshing room upstairs!??!  Stay tuned for the stunning reveal….

Betsy found some unwelcome guests in the studio today! Her aversion to fruit flies is nothing new: she HATES fruit flies.  But I love bananas!  And sometimes when you bring on a new partner, he brings his bananas.

OH!  You’ll also be pleased to know that it only took us three tries to figure out we have to shoot these in landscape instead of portrait, so stay tuned for fatter videos.

Here’s what the Huzzy-cam saw:

And now, the Betsy-cam version:

a very productive day

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Betsy and I just got new toys–er… business productivity tools.  Betsy is very fond of hers.

Yes, folks, we’ve drunk (drank? drinken?) the kool aid and we’re VERY pleased about it.  We’ve FaceTime’d from opposite sides of the same room.  We’ve sync’d up our calendars and turned off our push notifications (you’re welcome, battery life).  We have, in short, iPhone’d ourselves.

Oh.  And we’ve made a LOT of videos.  We’re looking forward to sharing our upcoming betsy & iya Great Road Trip of 2010 with you through these magic boxes.

Until next time-
