MCMULLAN ©PATRICK 112 | AVENUE MAGAZINE • AVENUE ON THE BEACH • FEBRUARY 2017 SOCIAL SAFARI Carolina Guest @ Animal Ashram THE THREE HUNDRED The evening felt like a private affair because 80 percent of the 300 people already knew each other. Tickets ranged from $5,000 (no guarantee of a seat) to $150,000 for a table, but don’t quibble: you got a single plate of French fries (to share) as the only course. Madonna closed the four-hour extravaganza saying, “They think I’m controversial, but the most controversial thing I’ve done is stick around for 34 years.” Want more? There was an after party with Paris Hilton, Rosario Dawson and Courtney Love. At 4 a.m., Madonna swept in and had a tête-a-tête with Sean Penn. What happened after that, only they know, but the Blond Ambition singer wasn’t found handcuffed to her bed; then again, she had the key. MARCHESA TAKES GSTAAD Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman and Harvey Weinstein had a dinner for director Quentin Tarantino at Gstaad’s Palace Hotel, which at 104 remains the life and soul of the village. Patricia and Henry Hay’s dashing son, Julian Hay, lead the young set to the hotel’s notorious GreenGo nightclub, where all the ritzy students from Le Rosey dance until dawn. Regulars in this tiny alpine enclave include Val- entino, who entertained Prince Pavlos and Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece and their daughter, Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece; Naty Abascal; Mar- gherita Missoni; and Tatiana Santa Domingo at his Chalet Giferhorn. Other regulars at the very private Eagle Club include Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark and Princess Tatiana, Pia Getty, Lady Liliana and Lord William Cavendish, Janna Bullock and Roman Polanski.

  • Early Working Draft Raw Materials, Creative Works, and Cultural
    Early Working Draft Raw Materials, Creative Works, and Cultural Hierarchies Andrew Gilden In disputes involving creative works, courts increasingly ask whether a preexisting text, image or persona has been used as “raw material” for new authorship. If so, the accused infringer becomes shielded by the fair use doctrine under copyright law or a First Amendment defense under right of publicity law. Although copyright and right of publicity decisions have begun to rely heavily on the concept, neither the case law nor existing scholarship has explored what it actually means to use something as “raw material,” whether this inquiry adequately draws lines between infringing and non- infringing conduct, or how well it maps onto the expressive values that the fair use doctrine and the First Amendment defense aim to capture This Article reveals serious problems with the raw material inquiry. First, a survey of all decisions invoking raw materials uncovers troubling distributional patterns; in nearly every case the winner is the party in the more privileged class, race or gender position. Notwithstanding courts’ assurance that the inquiry is “straightforward,” distinctions between raw and “cooked” materials appear to be structured by a range of social hierarchies operating in the background. Second, these cases express ethically troubling messages about the use and reuse of text, image and likeness. The more offensive, callous and objectionable the appropriation, the more visibly “raw” the preexisting material is likely to be. Given the shortcomings of the raw material inquiry, this Article argues that courts should engage more directly with an accused infringer’s actual creative process and rely less on a formal comparison between the two works in dispute.

  • Cybex by Jeremy Scott
    CYBEX BY JEREMY SCOTT - CYBEX präsentiert internationale Fashion Kollaboration Heutzutage sind Kinderwagen und Babysitze mehr als nur sichere Transportmittel für Babys und Kinder. Immer mehr Eltern sind auf der Suche nach einem Style-Statement, das sie bei allen Großstadtabenteuern begleitet. Nach der ersten, sehr erfolgreichen Fashion Kollaboration mit dem Modellabel Lala Berlin hat sich CYBEX ein weiteres Mal vorgenommen, für dieses Lebensgefühl die idealen Begleiter zu kreieren. Um eine einzigartige und aufsehenerregende Kollektion zu kreieren, ist niemand besser geeignet als das Enfant Terrible der Fashion Szene - Jeremy Scott. Das Ergebnis ist eine fröhliche Fusion von Pop Art und Prêt-a-Porter mit einer unverwechselbaren Prise Jeremy Scott. Auf leuchtend blauem Grund hat der Designer seine Idee eines "Food Fights" designt. Mutiges Popcorn kämpft gegen einen angriffslustigen Burger und eine schicke Sodaflasche fordert den toughen Hotdog zum Kampf heraus. So ist der definitiv stylischste Kampf aller Zeiten entstanden. Zu seiner Inspiration äußert sich Jeremy Scott "Es fing mit dem Gedanken bzw. dem englischen Begriff "Food Fight" an, was manchmal in den Filmen der 80er Jahre vorkommt. Da ist z. B. eine Cafeteria Szene, in der ein Schüler mit Pizza auf Jemanden wirft. Dieser wirft wieder etwas und dann ein anderer und plötzlich werfen alle mit Essen herum. Ich begann also darüber nachzudenken, wie es aussehen würde, wenn Essen wirklich kämpfen könnte." Den unverwechselbaren Print der CYBEX by Jeremy Scott Kollektion wird das luxuriöse Callisto 3-in-1 System und den leichten Onyx Buggy noch ein bisschen extravaganter machen. Die neue Babyschale Aton 3 und die Babytrage 2.GO werden zu einem fröhlichen Begleiter auf den Straßen der hipsten Städte.

  • Cybex by Jeremy Scott
    CYBEX BY JEREMY SCOTT CYBEX présente une collaboration mode internationale Bien plus qu’un moyen de transport sûr pour les plus petits, poussettes et sièges auto se font aujourd’hui les complices stylés des parents, accompagnant petits et grands dans leurs aventures urbaines. Après une première collaboration couronnée de succès avec la marque de mode Lala Berlin, CYBEX s’est à nouveau attaché à imaginer le compagnon idéal de ce lifestyle contemporain, s’associant pour l’occasion à l’enfant terrible de la mode, Jeremy Scott. À la clé, une collection inédite et spectaculaire, joyeuse fusion du pop-art et du prêt-à- porter, signature de Jeremy Scott. Sur un bleu éclatant, le designer a imprimé sa vision d’un "food fight" : de courageux pop-corn luttent contre un impressionnant hamburger, alors qu’une élégante bouteille de soda défie un hot-dog coriace… Sans doute la bataille de nourriture la plus fun et la plus stylée jamais créée. Derrière ce design, une inspiration ludique, comme l’explique Jeremy Scott : "Tout a commencé avec une réflexion sur le terme "food fight", qui désigne les batailles parfois représentées dans les films des années 80. Dans une scène se déroulant dans une cafétéria, par exemple, un élève lance une part de pizza à quelqu'un. Puis il jette un autre morceau, et quelqu'un d'autre se met à le faire, puis tout à coup tout le monde se met à lancer de la nourriture. J'ai commencé à imaginer à quoi cela pourrait ressembler si la nourriture pouvait vraiment se battre !" L'imprimé emblématique de la collection CYBEX by Jeremy Scott offre ainsi au luxueux système Callisto 3-en-1 et au buggy léger Onyx une petite touche d’extravagance..

  • Exhibition Advisory
    ^ exhibition advisory Exhibition: Reigning Men: Fashion in Menswear, 1715–2015 On View: April 10–August 21, 2016 Location: BCAM, Level 2 (Image captions on page 5) (Los Angeles — January 12, 2016) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Reigning Men: Fashion in Menswear, 1715–2015, a major survey exploring the history of men’s fashionable dress from the 18th to the early 21st century. Re- examining the frequent association of “fashion” with “femininity,” the five thematic sections of the exhibition’s 300-year survey—Revolution/Evolution, East/West, Uniformity, Body Consciousness, and The Splendid Man—reveal that early fashion trends were informed by what men were wearing, as much as they were by women’s dress. In the 18th century, the male aristocrat wore a three-piece suit conspicuous in make and style and equally as lavish as the opulent dress of his female counterpart; the 19th-century dandy made famous a more refined brand of expensive elegance; the 20th-century mod relished in colorful and modern styles; and the 21st century man—in an ultra-chic suit by day and a flowered tuxedo by night—redefines today’s concept of masculinity. Reigning Men makes illuminating connections between history and high fashion, tracing cultural influences over the centuries, examining how elements of the uniform have profoundly shaped fashionable dress, and revealing how cinching and padding the body was, and is, not exclusive to women. The exhibition, featuring 200 looks drawn mostly from LACMA’s renowned permanent collection of costume and textiles, celebrates a rich history of restraint and resplendence in menswear.

  • Fame Us Introduction
    FAME US INTRODUCTION Brian Howell A while ago, I started taking pictures of celebrity impersonators after a string of chance encounters with look-alikes. When I began researching the subject, I had no idea that so many people made a living at it. I became intrigued, and as a result, this project was born. I attended a number of conventions for the celebrity imper- sonator industry; there are two major gatherings a year: Las Vegas in the spring and Orlando, Florida in the fall. The impersonators are there to showcase their tal- ent and to network with others in the industry; the conventions are like any other, except that on any given day, you might see George W. Bush hamming it up with Ozzy Osbourne, or bump into Marilyn Monroe wearing her dress from The Seven Year Itch, except there is no subway air vent to blow it up to her waist. Impersonation is a full-time career for many of the people who appear in this book. Some of them make a great living at it, including a few who look more like the ce- lebrity they impersonate than the actual celebrity himself. While getting to know them better, I’ve learned that the biggest misconception about impersonators is that they are somehow obsessed fans desperate to physically become the celebrity they impersonate. But I never met anyone like that. On the contrary, many imper- sonators got into the business because of others—those passersby on the street who stop and stare, and ask, “Has anyone ever told you you look like…?” Simply put, and not in a derogatory way, impersonators are opportunistic, taking advan- tage of a culture with an insatiable, uncontrollable thirst for celebrity and all that it entails.

  • ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY Interview for Not Making It Clear That He Wasn't the Father of the Baby She Miscarried Last May
    Love's Story The combative singer-actress embarks on a legal skirmish with her record label that may change what it means to be a rock star. Oh, and she also has some choice words about her late husband's bandmates, her newfound ancestry, Russell Crowe, Angelina Jolie... By Holly Millea | Mar 25, 2002 Image credit: Courtney Love Photographs by Jean Baptiste Mondino COURTNEY LOVE IS IN A LIMOUSINE TAKING HER FROM Los Angeles to Desert Hot Springs on a detox mission. "I've been on a bit of a bender after 9/11," she admits. "I've got a lot of s--- in me. I weigh 147 pounds." Which is why she's checking into the We Care colonic spa for five days of fasting. Slumped low in the seat, the 37-year-old actress and lead singer of Hole is wearing baggy faded jeans, a brown pilled sweater, and Birkenstock sandals, her pink toenails twinkling with rhinestones. On her head is a wool knit hat - 1 - that looks like something she found on the street. Last night she sat for three hours while her auburn hair extensions were unglued and cut out. "See?" Love says, pulling the cap off. "I look like a Dr. Seuss character on chemo." She does. Her hair is short and tufty and sticking out in all directions. It's a disaster. Love smiles a sad, self-conscious smile and covers up again. Lighting a cigarette, she asks, "Why are we doing this story? I don't have a record or a movie to promote.

  • A Denial the Death of Kurt Cobain the Seattle Police Department
    A Denial The Death of Kurt Cobain The Seattle Police Department Substandard Investigation & The Repercussions to Justice by Bree Donovan A Capstone Submitted to The Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, The State University, New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Liberal Studies Under the direction of Dr. Joseph C. Schiavo and approved by _________________________________ Capstone Director _________________________________ Program Director Camden, New Jersey, December 2014 i Abstract Kurt Cobain (1967-1994) musician, artist songwriter, and founder of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band, Nirvana, was dubbed, “the voice of a generation”; a moniker he wore like his faded cardigan sweater, but with more than some distain. Cobain‟s journey to the top of the Billboard charts was much more Dickensian than many of the generations of fans may realize. During his all too short life, Cobain struggled with physical illness, poverty, undiagnosed depression, a broken family, and the crippling isolation and loneliness brought on by drug addiction. Cobain may have shunned the idea of fame and fortune but like many struggling young musicians (who would become his peers) coming up in the blue collar, working class suburbs of Aberdeen and Tacoma Washington State, being on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine wasn‟t a nightmare image. Cobain, with his unkempt blond hair, polarizing blue eyes, and fragile appearance is a modern-punk-rock Jesus; a model example of the modern-day hero. The musician- a reluctant hero at best, but one who took a dark, frightening journey into another realm, to emerge stronger, clearer headed and changing the trajectory of his life.
