europe recap #1 – the big show

ok, i’m working through my europe pictures and will be presenting them in 3 installments – the installments will be my favorite pic’s from a given place (i took over 400 pics in total; don’t want to bore you by posting all of them – i already forced cb to see them all… i can’t imagine how painful that was for him.

the first installment (today’s) is all about the big show (aka, the reason i was in berlin to begin with).

#1 – things sound so much better in french.

#2 – goodie bag’s for the attendees.

#3 – cool as shit light bulb.  the theater was swimming with these things…. they were all about 12-15″ long with a single filament running through them.  i loved these bulbs.

#4 – my job on this show was stage manager.  next to my post backstage was a mirror ball.  how can you not love a mirror ball.  they rock.  i call this “self portrait with mirror ball“.

#5 – this may very well be my favorite pic from the entire show, and keep in mind this is still in rehearsals.  the finale for one of the acts was to have his models come out in black under a boat-load of white netting/fabric (they were wearing black sheath dresses) and then they were illuminated with black light.  it was incredible and otherworldly.  they had these kick ass wigs on too that you only saw at the very end of the segment.  i love the movement in this pic.

#6 – i call this one “charlie’s angels shadows“.  you should of seen it when they were in full hair/wardrobe (hey, what can i say – i have more free time to take pictures during rehearsals).

#7 – ok, i’m completely in love with this woman.  seriously – i think i would switch teams to be with her.  she had the most kick-ass walk i’ve ever seen.  and the boots – the boots were amazing (ok, maybe i really am too gay if i noticed the boots… i have a pic of them somewhere).  she was just so damn sexy walking down the catwalk.

#7a – ok, here are the boots.  rock on!

#8 – rehearsing the men’s hairdressing segment.  ummm… can we say “gun show”?  i had the pleasure of having this guy change clothes down to black bikini briefs right next to me.  ummm… i need a moment.

#9 – for obvious reasons.

#10 – ok, now were on show day… i like the look of this pic, tho’ i wish the one girl wasn’t wearing a sweater.  it was pretty cold backstage tho’.

#11 – obvious reasons pt 2.  they just got done “spritzing” the boys to give them that “just worked out” look that’s so popular.  by the way, they were wearing shorty athletic shorts too.  double drool.  i love my fucking job!

#12 – this is the same girl as the above (the one with the boots).  great do, no?  pure sex.  behind the girl you’ll see someone with white and black face paint – that’s one of the girls that’s pictured in the above charlie’s angels shadow shot.

#13 – bringing the afro back baby.  and trust me this chick (all 6’2″ of her) was working the fuck out of this hair.  nice.

#13a – here’s another shot of her

jet planes and naked christopher meloni

just finished packing – so i’m in that weird neverland between having something to do and not having anything to do. so what am i doing then? looking for pictures of a naked christopher meloni. woof.

it’s christopher’s birthday today – he’s a studly 47 today. happy birthday man.

so in my own perverted way – i choose to celebrate and honor this auspicious day by showing you pictures of a very sexy meloni (and yea, there’s a naked one too – so if your offended by prison/shower sex, click here).

i’m in love…nikolaj coster-waldau

oh nikolaj, i swear, your the one.  i mean it this time.  we’re meant to be together.  your sexy and smoldering and eyes that could melt a glacier.  you are equal parts nathan fillion and viggo mortenson.  things will be different with us.  i will give you something your wife never could.  and i’d learn danish in a heartbeat.  call me!

 

man monday; eric bana

 honor of james and i seeing “the other bolyn girl” featuring the hunky eric bana yesterday – i thought i would give ya’ll a slice of his hotness (i hate that word, but it works).  oh, and if your wondering – the movie is good… easily a renter tho’.  and natalie portman is such a conniving bitch in the flick; it’s fun!!

 

 

chris evans monday

in honor of the truly terrible film ‘the nanny diaries’ co-starring the yummy mr. evans i thought ya’ll might need a respite from it being monday.  may i present pure sex:

i’m in love; ronnie kerr

the “star” -ronnie kerr – sexy/sweet/hunky.  perfect (tho’ he could be covered in ink, that would make it better).

it’s actually a sweet little film. 

lil’ bit of dolly goodness

you know, someday’s you just need a little dolly to brighten your day:

unrelated, i just found out that i’m getting this as my new work computer:

mmm pretty.  and it’s not an hp piece of shite.  (jonathan ives, call me – i’m gonna need a private tutorial).

i’m in love; jonathan ives

jonathan ives

senior vice president of industrial design at apple.  

aka the guy that gave us the imac, ipod and iphone.

damn sexy guy.  he’s british too.  i heart the brit’s.  and his design aesthetic is sexy as hell. 

p.s., 6 days until i’m in ny!

bitch, please.

things you should know that have direct bearing on my mood today:

sometime between saturday evening and sunday morning, my work-laptop’s hard drive decided to commit suicide in a most bloody and gory manner (ok, not really, but i’m imagining a battle of epic 300 proportions happening on my hard drive).  it’s fried crispier than the colonel ever thought possible.

my companies mis team has thus far been unable to salvage anything.

what this means?  it means that i’ve lost:

• all current documents related to the 4 shows i’m currently in production on
• photographs of the last 2 years worth of shows and events
• banner idea’s folder for this lil’ blog
• 30 gig’s of music in my itunes folder

now, before you so politely ask me “why, oh why didn’t you backup your files” – well, yes – that would have been a good idea.  but you must realize i’m on the road about 70% of the year… i need access to my files and music on a fairly consistent basis.  thankfully, just in december, i moved most of my historical 2007 files onto our network so i have those in my back pocket. 

but still – fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck!

unrelated:

desire thy name is harley night rod

this the harley davidson night rod vrscd.

that said, let me illustrate why i will never have such a work of beauty.

i would kill myself on a bike.

seriously.

but boy do i want one.
