M.A.C. cosmetics hosts PRIVATE ARTISTS’ studio tour in celebration of latest makeup collaboration was held in 3 separate spaces. Traveling from Marilyn Minter’s Shiny Glossy studio to Maira Kalman’s deceptively spare Greenwich Village apartment and finally the studio where Richard Phillips paints, in one night easily could have been a logistical nightmare considering there were hundreds of guests to ferry around but it worked as smooth as silk!
The Creative marketing director at M.A.C. is, after all, a progressively aggressive genius… marrying cutting edge artists reflecting their own personal art forms to the M.A.C. products. It’s like let’s just fast forward and speed advertising our products up up up and away! Ed Westwick and Jessica Sczhor together. Zoe Kravitz and and interior designer Gareth Pugh… close. Guess who has a tatoo that reads I HEART ROMANCE?

CASUALLY MANNING THE TURNTABLE’S were young formerly rebellious artists NATE LOWMAN(WHO USED TO COVER GALLERY WLLS WITH BULLET HOLES AND MAY OR MAY NOT BE PRESENTLY REFORMED) AND artist,actor, skateboarder LEO FITZPATRICK( WHO NOT TOO LONG AGO WAS ON CRUTCHES AFTER SURVIVING AN ESCAPADE ON HIS FIRE ESCAPE OR ROOFTOP,CANT REMEBER WHICH!

As a ”downtown ” nightlife photographer, as a lover of beauty the first thing that dumbstruck me was the first time I spotted DASH SNOW. Here we were long past the 60’s, long past the ”hippie ” look and there was DASH– REBELLION AND BEAUTY an unrelenting artist living over the edge..I mean walking- down the street in 99 degree weather in total black leather from head to boot with skulls and streaked dirty blond hair … all he had to do was be! BUT I FOUND OUT HE WAS SOO MUCH MORE and was always a little smug and proud that I knew all about him. Like a majority of REAL BRILLIANT STARS he never bothered to be aloof and condescending I can close my eyes and see him in front of DEITCH sitting on the steps with CINDY GREENE of LIBERTINE after an art show holding downtown royal court top hat in place scanning the area for more WILDNESS! So I gasped with hope and surprise when the last time I saw him he had an impossibly angelic little cherub(SECRET,his daughter)in his arms….and they looked marvelous together.
