L.A. Men Do the Green Runway

When you have a chance, check out my article on eco men's fashion trends in this month's issue of Whole Life Times magazine. It's one of my favorite holistic publications where I write and it was a particular pleasure interviewing all the designers for this piece -- from an international skate company CEO, a local store owner/designer making waves with hemp material, to a Civil War-inspired Tennessee designer.

It's OK to Shoot Your Friends

This last weekend. I was offered an opportunity to get some headshots done, as part of being a contributor for Your Daily Thread, an online magazine for the eco curious. I'm the Green Living writer there. Pretty rad experience altogether, not just because I have some sick headshots now--having had a professional manicurist, stylist and make up artist (Kerry Malouf is also the beauty editor at Malibu Magazine) ready to adjust every little hair or lip color--but because I got to spend the whole day in Santa Monica with some of my closest friends .. and goof off. What girl wouldn't love getting all glammed up, dancing to music while being photographed? It's like getting your fun memories professionally and artfully packaged into beautiful photos. If I could, I'd do a shoot every month, just for the fun of it.
