Celebrating Icon Dita Von Teese!

Undoubtedly one of the icons of our time is the one and only Dita Von Teese. I have no special reason to post these shots today, as I missed Dita's birthday back in September. However, I was lucky enough to cover a few of Dita's events, and TWICE had the honor and priviledge of being selected to be House Photog at two of them, including one of her live performances! 

 

Dita Von Teese launching her newest fragrance, "Rouge", at Apothia by RON ROBINSON at Fred Segal Melrose in Los Angeles, CA, on Saturday the 15th of December, 2012. 
I was House Photog at this event, and I asked Dita to pose for me in the mirror, which resulted in one of the greatest shots of my career!

 

Dita Von Teese performs her "Burlesque: Strip Strip Hooray!" variety show at the House Of Blues in Los Angeles, CA, February 12, 2013.
This was one of the most exciting nights of my career, getting to be House Photog for a Dita Burlesque show! I got to go backstage after the show and thank Dita personally in her dressing room, a moment I'll never forget!

Taylor Swift arriving at the 2012 KIIS.FM Jingle Ball at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, CA, on Saturday, the 1st of December, 2012.
These are maybe my best ever pics of Taylor Swift. She was so great about giving red carpet photographers all they needed in terms of eye contact. I really appreciated that every time I saw her on the carpet.

FLASHBACK EXCLUSIVE! Paris Hilton At LAX!

I meant to post these the other day on the anniversary of the day I had Paris Hilton all to myself (unless you count her pesky boyfriend) for about thirty minutes while she shopped and grabbed a snack while awaiting her flight at LAX airport, November 29, 2013.

FLASHBACK: All Eyes On Ke$ha At LAX! - November 26, 2013

FLASHBACK: All Eyes On Ke$ha At LAX!

Singer Ke$ha arriving at LAX airport in Los Angeles, CA, for a flight, completely covered, head to toe, with Eyeball motif clothing, including a face scarf, hoodie, and eyeball tattoo on her palm. The perfect embodiment of the "duality of man," this outfit choice has perplexed me for years, and I wondered about the amount of thought and effort put into it. Kesha covering herself up completely would imply she craves anonymity, with her hand up, blocking the lenses of the paparazzi as almost an exclamation point. However, if anonymity was the goal, why would one dress in such a way, as this outfit would absolutely draw the attention of everyone in the vicinity.

 

She signed a few autographs before entering the VIP area, so she wasn't in a hurry to avoid the cameras. 

It's not as if Ke$ha was known to hate paparazzi, as I had caught her at LAX many times before and after this day, and she never covered up like that any other time. Examples provided to prove my point.

Seems to me that Ke$ha's goal on that day was to draw as many eyes to her as possible, while looking like she wants the opposite.
