L.A. Woman-

Here we have a photo of me on the right and my friend Nichole on the left. Nichole played a fabulous Marilyn Monroe in the very cool Billy Idol LA Woman video I've posted below. Remember I was telling you all in a previous blog about my Steven Sprouse Tinsle dress and my custom Turban? Well she's wearing it. This set of photographs were for an ad for French Vogue. It was for my friend Barbara Groeger's fabulous Swarvorski encrusted jewelry line . It was sold word wide at Neimans and other boutiques. She did this look before anyone. Later in life she did the same kind of Pave' work using shells. Oh my,I don't know how she had the patience.The shoot was in her gorgeous house in Hollywood Hills. I actually got married there to my first husband. The living room was as big as a hotel lobby. She had great taste.In her honor we have made a stunning turban an I have used one of her jewels as an adornment. I'll post the new photos soon! Enjoy the video ....my husband Mark is playing the guitar of course!

ONE COOL CHICK

I'm hiding out today in the back of the house because it's filled with cute boys. Mark is finishing up the recording sessions. For 5 weeks I've had music and guys filling the house. I have a huge week starting tomorrow. I decided to actually relax today so I popped in Performance. It was part of my inspiration for my Stitch collection. I love Anita Pallenberg. Here is an interesting interview. Oh and the last photo looks like Nico. I'm not sure how I slipped that into the mix. Nico was a cool chick too so I guess it's ok.

So, where were you in 67? I was living all over the place, sometimes in hotels with Keith, but I was hardly in London, because I was working a lot. That was my big year as an actress. I was making Barbarella in Rome, and then my German film (Volker Schlondorff’s A Degree Of Murder, for which Pallenberg’s former partner Brian Jones contributed the score).

Where did you shop for clothes? We’d go to places like Emmerton & Lambert in the Antiques Market, Hung On You and Granny’s. I wasn’t into Mary Quant; she was too middle of the road, and that mod, op-art thing wasn’t really for me. And Biba was too big. I wasn’t so into that very English look. In Italy we’d always had salsa, the mamba, all those Latin dances which gave me a different feel for things, so my style was fedoras, belts, little 20s jackets, lace that I’d collected. If I wore mini-skirts I’d have them made by Granny’s. We’d try on clothes and have a joint in the back. Granny’s was very small, just two rooms, so everyone knew each other.

You didn’t mind wearing fur? I had a ratty fake mink coat I wore to a gig by Hendrix somewhere on Chelsea Embankment. I went with (art dealer and member of the Stones inner circle) Robert Fraser. I couldn’t tell Keith; he wouldn’t have liked it at all. As we left Robert, gentleman that he was, picked up my coat from the cloakroom. I wore it for a couple of days and thought it was a bit tight before I realised he’d picked up the wrong coat, a real mink!

What was it like going back to college (Pallenberg studied textiles at Central Saint Martins in the early 90s)? I loved it. One of my favourite fabrics is devore (printed velvet and satin) and so I did my collection for my finals in that. It’s really hard work because the process is so intense but I loved it. There’s a Michael Cooper photograph of Marianne (Faithfull) in a devore dress, which she probably nicked from me! We used to nick from each other all the time because they were all one-off pieces.

So what didn’t you like about the scene? I remember walking down the Kings Road one time and everybody seemed to be on acid. There were kids running around with no shoes on their feet. I’m Italian; the last thing you’d do is go barefoot. Shoes are a status symbol, the first thing you get. Everybody in Rome walks around discussing shoes. I had my boots made for me back home, so I thought it was very weird.

So you weren’t really a hippie then? No. Definitely not. Even though I was away in America for much of the 70s, when punk came along and Vivienne (Westwood) and Malcolm (McLaren) were making those wonderful rubber clothes I felt much more in tune with them.

MODELS AND MUSIC ANGELA BOWIE

The first time I met Angela Bowie was also the first night I met Steven Arnold. Steven's friend Joanne Fradkin who is still one of my best friends invited me to a huge party that Steven was throwing in Hollywood. She always kept saying "Steven will adore you you have to meet him and be his next muse" When I arrived I couldn't believe my eyes! Nude men everywhere covered from head to toe in gilt serving cocktails. Live models in crazy attire. Just big time eye-candy. There was a huge circus like tent that seemed to be the center of the happening. I walk in and there is Angela Bowie as part of the entertainment doing a fabulous exotic dance of some sort. Anyway I met her and Steven of course and the rest is history.
I do remember that when I finally got home I couldn't sleep. My mind was reeling. I had never whitnessed such decadence and most likely never again.

Angela Bowie (born Mary Angela Barnett in 1949 in Cyprus) is an American citizen who has been a covergirl, model, actress, musician, groupie and, most recently, a best-selling author.

Angela is of English (father) and Greek Cypriot (mother) descent. Her father, Col. G. M. Barnett, was a mining engineer and ran a mill for Cyprus Mines Corporation. Her mother was Helena Marie Galas. Angela has one older brother.
Educated in United States, Switzerland and Kingston Polytechnic (UK), she grew up in the US, where she attended Connecticut College For Women until she was expelled for having a lesbian affair with another student.
Relationship with David Bowie

She met David Bowie in 1969, at the age of 19. According to David Bowie, they met when they were both "fucking the same bloke" (Asian record executive Calvin Mark Lee). She married him one year later, on March 19, 1970 at Bromley Register Office in Beckenham Lane, Kent in England, where she took his stage surname. On 30 May 1971, David and Angie Bowie had a son they named Duncan Zowie Haywood Jones. Zowie later preferred to be known as Joe/Joey, although now he has reverted to the name Duncan Jones.
David Bowie wrote the songs "The Prettiest Star" and "Golden Years" about her.
Angie and David Bowie separated after eight years of marriage and divorced on February 8, 1980, in Switzerland. Angie, later citing it as "a marriage of convenience" for both, settled for £300,000. She then began a long-term relationship with punk musician Drew Blood (real name Andrew Lipka) and on July 24, 1980 gave birth to their daughter, Stacia Larranna Celeste Lipka, in Mendocino, California.
Later life

Angie wrote an autobiographical bestseller, Backstage Passes: Life On the Wild Side with David Bowie, published in 1993 and updated in 2000. It detailed her drug-fueled and openly bisexual lifestyle with her former husband and many other well-known rockers. In the book, she tells of her notorious first-hand encounter seeing David and Mick Jagger naked in bed together, confirming the long-standing rumours of sexual encounters between them.
She released an album, Moon Goddess, on Subterraneans' London based record label The Electric Label in 2002. The UK release of the album contained a duet with Subterraneans' vocalist Jude Rawlins on a version of the Rolling Stones song "The Last Time". She is currently working on her second album, Fancy Footwork.Fictional portrayals

The movie Velvet Goldmine was loosely based on her life with David Bowie. She was fictionalized as a character named "Mandy", portrayed by Toni Collette

Models and Music Caren Elson

I like this out-fit in the new W. Model and wife of Jack White from the White Stripes looks amazing. I would wear this to one of Mark's shows! The fitted jacket with the drippy fringy lace and such. Bad-Ass

Music and Fashion it's a small world

As I was looking at magazine editorials I came across these photos of Tennesee Jane Bunny Thomas (of the band THE LIKE) shot by Melodie McDaniel and styled by Christopher Niquet. She just happens to be Cali's friend who I just blogged about. We made Tennesee a fabulous cuff. I love these photos! If you get a chance to see THE LIKE they are fabulous. She plays the drums. Her father is Elvis Costello's drummer. It's an all girl band and they are pretty great!

Models and Music Anita Pallenberg

I adore Anita Pallenberg! I will talk about her in more depth in a future blog. I am so inspired right now by a new group of artists. All I can say is Anita certainly comes to mind! For now look at the lovely Miss Pallenberg.

Anita Pallenberg (born January 25, 1946 in Rome, Italy) is a model, actress and fashion designer. She was the common-law wife of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards from 1967 to 1980.
The daughter of an Italian artist and a German secretary, Anita became fluent in four languages at an early age. Before settling in London, she lived in Germany and New York City, where she was involved with the Living Theater (starring in the play Paradise Now, which featured nudity on stage) and Andy Warhol's Factory. She is a naturalised US citizen.

With the Rolling Stones

Pallenberg is known for her romantic involvement with Rolling Stones band members Brian Jones, whom she met in 1965, and Keith Richards, for whom she left Jones in 1967. There were rumours that she also had a brief affair with Mick Jagger during the filming of Performance, a movie in which she acted and co-wrote the script. Pallenberg strongly denied the affair in March 2007 when Performance was released on DVD.[1] Pallenberg and Richards had three children, a son born in 1969 named Marlon, a daughter, Angela (nee Dandelion) born in 1972 and another boy, Tara, who was born in 1976, but died of health complications soon after birth.
Pallenberg's influence over the development and presentation of the Rolling Stones from the late sixties throughout the seventies was significant and has been documented in many publications on the band during this period and afterwards.[2][3][4] She played an unusual role in the male dominated world of rock and roll in the late sixties, acting as much more than just a groupie or wife of a band member. There are published anecdotes that her opinion was so grudgingly respected by Mick Jagger that tracks on Beggars Banquet were brought back into the studio and remixed when Pallenberg found them wanting just weeks before the official release date.[5] In the 2002 compilation release of Forty Licks, Pallenberg is credited as singing background vocals on "Sympathy for the Devil". Besides her influence over the Stones' musical content, her interest in the occult was a featured style component that marked the Stones concerts and public presentation throughout the decade that she was the common-law companion of Richards. Tony Sanchez's recounting of his time as Richard’s body guard and drug dealer is replete with vignettes of Pallenberg’s strange spiritual practices.
“ She was obsessed with black magic and began to carry a string of garlic with her everywhere—even to bed—to ward off vampires. She also had a strange mysterious old shaker for holy water which she used for some of her rituals. Her ceremonies became increasingly secret, and she warned me never to interrupt her when she was working on a spell.[6] ”
Although she was the mother of Richards' children and ruler of the household in a domestic sense, she shared many of her husband's vices and was in fact charged first in the 1977 Toronto heroin arrest that almost destroyed the Rolling Stones. A warrant for her arrest was the reason police came to search Richards and Pallenberg's hotel rooms; she would plead guilty to marijuana possession, and be fined, several weeks after her common-law husband's headline grabbing arrest.[7] The relationship between Richards and Pallenberg waned after Richards cleaned up under threat of imprisonment and he stated in a 1981 Rolling Stone magazine interview that his lawyers told the couple to separate, or they would end up in more serious trouble. Yet Richards also stated that he still loved Anita and saw her as much as he ever did, despite his budding devotion to his future wife Patti Hansen.[8] In a 1985 Rolling Stone magazine interview, Mick Jagger claimed that Pallenberg "nearly killed me,"[9] when he was asked whether the Rolling Stones had any responsibility for the personal drug addictions of people close to the band, like Marshall Chess, John Phillips and Pallenberg. Nevertheless, Richards continued to welcome Pallenberg to family events and concert tours, where she often accompanies her children and grandchildren and reportedly is close friends with Patti Hansen. Singer Marianne Faithfull was also Jagger's girlfriend during late 1960s, and remains a great friend of Pallenberg's. They appeared together in the fourth series (2001) of the BBC-TV/Comedy Central/Saunders and French production of Absolutely Fabulous in episode four "Donkey", with Marianne Faithfull playing "God" and Anita Pallenberg "The Devil" in a dream sequence experienced by Jennifer Saunders' character of Edina Monsoon.
Cleared of manslaughter

In 1979, a seventeen year old boy, Scott Cantrell, shot himself in the head in Pallenberg's bed with a gun owned by Keith Richards, in the home shared by Richards and Pallenberg in South Salem, New York. The youth had been employed as a part-time groundskeeper at the estate and was involved with Pallenberg in an intimate relationship. Richards was in Paris recording with the Rolling Stones, but his son was present in the home when the teenager killed himself. Pallenberg was arrested but the death was ruled as a suicide in 1980, despite rumours that Pallenberg and Cantrell had been playing a game of Russian Roulette with the gun. The police investigation confirmed that Pallenberg was not in the room or on the same floor of the home when the fatal shot was fired.
Film and fashion

Pallenberg has appeared in more than a dozen films over a forty year span. Most notably, she appeared as The Black Queen in Roger Vadim's cult-classic sci-fi film Barbarella, the sleeper wife of Michel Piccoli in the film Dillinger Is Dead, directed by Marco Ferreri, and the 1970 avant-garde Performance. She appeared in a documentary about the Rolling Stones in 1968, Sympathy for the Devil directed by French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, as well as Cocksucker Blues the unreleased documentary film directed by Robert Frank chronicling The Rolling Stones' North American tour in 1972.
Recently, Pallenberg has been portrayed in popular film and television. The actress Monet Mazur played a young Pallenberg in the 2005 film Stoned, a biographical film about Brian Jones during the last year of his life. In a 2006 episode of the NBC television Show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip character Harriet Hayes is hired to play Pallenberg in a film. That story line is extended and in a further episode, Harriet is seen playing Pallenberg and filming the Russian Roulette version of Cantrell's suicide. However, it is pointed out on numerous occasions that the director is allowing himself some creative license and that Pallenberg was properly cleared of any involvement in Cantrell's suicide.
Pallenberg became a fashion designer during the 1990s, after four years at London's St. Martins School of Art and Design. She now divides her time between New York City and Europe, and sporadically appears in public as a party DJ.

Models and Music

Patricia Vonne in the same dress.

If you have followed my collections over the past couple of years you will notice that I use a certain model in many of my shoots. Her name is Cali Sales. Cali is an amazing model and a very talented artist! She is one of our favorite people! Cali comes from an interesting background. Just think how awesome it would be to have David Bowie be your babysitter when you were a child! Her father Hunt Sales was part of the band Tin Machine with David Bowie. He also played with Iggy Pop (lust for Life) For those of you who are a little older you may remember who her famous grandfather Soupy Sales who had several of his own television shows. Here is a little Bio of Soupy and sons.

Game Shows From 1968 to 1975 Sales was a regular panelist on the syndicated revival of What's My Line?. He generally was the first panelist introduced and occupied the chair at the far left side of the panel (facing the camera).

Sales was also a panelist on the short-lived 1980 revival of To Tell the Truth; he had also appeared as a guest on the show during the mid- to late-1970s. Other notable game show appearances include over a dozen episodes of the original "Match Game" from 1966 to 1969, a week's worth of shows on the 1970s edition of Match Game, a few guest spots on Hollywood Squares (Dec. 12, 1977 & April 4, 1978) and a recurring role in all of the many different dollar amount versions of The $10,000 Pyramid from 1973 to 1991. He also made an appearance on the show Pictionary in 1997.

In 1977, Sales was the host of "Junior Almost Anything Goes," ABC's Saturday Morning version of their popular team-based physical stunt program.

His sons' activities

Soupy's sons, musicians Hunt and Tony Sales, played bass and drums in the band Tin Machine with David Bowie, as well as playing on the albums Runt by Todd Rundgren and Lust For Life by Iggy Pop. Both sons had a band together in Detroit while their father was still in TV there. The band, Tony and the Tigers, had a local hit with the song Turn it On Girl. Tony and the Tigers also appeared on the TV show Hullabaloo in 1966. Hunt Sales created the percussion riff for "Lust for Life" that has been used in numerous commercials.

Legacy

Soupy Sales was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on January 7, 2005, a day before his 79th birthday.

In the episode "The One with the Lesbian Wedding" of the TV-series Friends, Phoebe mentions Soupy Sales while supposedly being inhabited by the spirit of her dead massage client.

In the film Juno (2007), Soupy is referenced during the scene where Juno confronts Bleeker about taking another girl to prom. Juno had earlier suggested he go out with her, but he said he didn't like her because she smelled like soup. Later, when Juno realizes she loves him, she calls his date Soupy Sales.
