busy

It’s just been very busy lately - with orders. There is a definite synergy between having the two sites going at the same time.

I also have images to prepare for a high-end photography text book. I’ll write more about this when it is published.

In my spare time - I’ve been trying to figure out what’s up with Britney Spears and the bald head and came to the conclusion that she was trying to get back into the spotlight after Anna Nicole stole it. I am totally hooked - I kid you not - on this Anna Nicole thing. I don’t know why. But this is just so weird. When the judge says, I have control of Anna Nicoles’ body — it’s just way too strange.

I heard Dick Cavett say that if Anna Nicole had died on 9/11 - we still wouldn’t know anything had happened to the towers.

As I type this - MSNBC - is broadcasting the live hearings where all the characters have been brought together - like the end of a THIN MAN movie to find the guilty party. It is the perfect background for cutting mats.

I wish you could see this hearing - where they are trying to decide what to do with the body. I don’t know if you know the three stooges - but the judge is very reminiscent of CURLY. I swear. This judge is part lunatic, part idiot, and part social worker. It is really way out there. Oh and he’s an ex-cabbie from The Bronx!

The judge just said to one of the lawyers - “I’m gonna get you some juice.” Because the judge says he is trying to keep the lawyers and their clients stress free so that they can have the strength to take care of the little girl - who he insists - is what this case is about. What is best for the little girl.

Uh - yeah - right. And I’m Ansel Adams.

Oh man - they’ve just cut away to the swearing in of the new head of the NSA - MR. SPY. Bummer.

  1. Dave, I get most of my news about the States—except when something is bombed or invaded, of course—from reading your blog. I have dutifully googled Anna Nicole to see what excites my distant countrymen, and am totally grossed out. Totally.

    There is one thing, though, and that is that we on the other side of the Atlantic *did* get news of Britney’s flipout in the barber shop, and the view seems to be that it was orchestrated for some other reason. And now, thanks to you, I can see that it was Anna Nioole reaching out from beyond the, er, cooler. All hats off, or on, to Britney for the publicity coup — and you will recall as a student of Westerns that scalping is nothing other than counting coup.

    So thanks, Dave. My life is now richer and more connected.

  2. Dave, are you talking about Spears privates bald, or is there another story I missed. I hang on every word. Did you see the contents of Smiths’ fridge? Methadone and Slimfast, breakfast of champions. Why are people so obsessed? Is nothing sacred?

    Glad business is good.

  3. Arwen - the bald head. I’m not obsessed or interested in Spears - but the Smith story - that is going to be an amazing movie. The characters that have come out of the woods (Gabor’s husband !!).

    I think she is a perfect symbol for America of the last 10 years. Unlike Monroe - who was a film star - Nicole went one step further when she became the subject of her own reality show. Fame for fames sake or something. Marrying the old guy. Her kids drug death. Too much about it for a comment. It will be an over-the-top movie someday. Many years ago - she would have been Lana Turner.

  4. Nothing like watching the tragedy of someone’s life played out on the world stage. And I know you are not obsessed.

  5. Could somebody please tell me the difference between:

    Howard Stern
    Howard K. Stern
    Howard K. Smith, and
    Broward K. County?

    My poor father, who has Alzheimers, is trying to keep up with the trial but he’s having trouble telling everybody apart.

    Also, who are Veggie, Birdhead, and Prince Frederic Von Sig Heil? These are very difficult names to deal with. Imagine the challenge for the entertainment reporters in Bombay.

  6. Dear Lester,
    Howard Stern is the shock jock who is either on space radio or orbiting the earth looking for lesbians in space. And there are a few up there.

    Howard K. Stern is the guy who had a marriage ceremony on a boat in the middle of the ocean and claims to be the husband of Anna Nicole. Anna’s mother - Veggie or Budgie - something - claims that Stern is the one responsible for giving Anna drugs etc.

    Howard K. Smith was a newscaster.

    Broward K. County is a section of Texas where most of these vampires come from.

    Frederic Von Sig Heil is the husband of Mrs. Gabor and claims to be the father of just about everyone.

    If you would like me to foward a copy of BIG TYPEFACE PEOPLE MAGAZINE to your dad - let me know.

  7. Re: Breakfast with Dave

    Hi Dave:

    Had a meeting this morning in midtown and had breakfast at the Palace Restaurant on 57th Street. The photos look great.

  8. Hey Craig - good to know they’re still up there. DB

  9. Thank you Dave for straightening all that out. But my poor father told me some pretty bizarre stuff about the trial today and I wonder if you could just confirm that these things cannot possibly be true:

    1) There’s a possibility of another father of Anna Nicole’s child: a guy from South Carolina who had a vasectomy?

    2) A media informant inside the mother’s camp secretly had a helicopter sent to cover their trip to the morgue?

    3) Howard K. Stern snuck a duffel bag full of drugs into Anna Nicole’s hospital room and gave them to her while she was pregnant?

    4) Anna Nicole’s mother plans to dig up her grandson’s grave and take his body to Texas?

    5) There’s a chance that the judge who is a cabbie from the Bronx is going to give custody of Anna Nicole’s body to her 5 month old daughter?
