Ok? Which one of those bitches squeezed “baby oil” on the floor helping to cause “Miss Rachel’s mishap. That tumble was very, veeeeery shady. The poor thing hadn’t taken but two steps and there she was, facing the horizon. Anywho? Let’s not forget the pressure our poor Miss USA was under with Mexico’s notables, heckling and booing her based on our government’s policies. That was indeed, very unfortunate that she would have to undergone that added strain of having to strut across that stage, looking pretty and smiling while being ridiculed. Not to worry though. Rachel will get over it. Mexico wil too. But will the Press ever let Rachel or us forget it?
Riyo Mori a 20-year-old dancer from Japan, was crowned Miss Universe 2007 dressed in a black base gown, trimmed with a diamond set-in chiffon print that flowed very nicely on the stage. Sort of a combo Pucci and Giorgio Sant’Angelo. All together an interesting evening.

The world has lost yet another beacon of Love and Peace, Yolanda King at the age of 51. Yolanda died suddenly of a suspected heart attack while visiting family here in California where she lived. This is certainly been a rocky month for me mostly because I also knew her. I had the priviledge of working with Yolanda as her costumer on a film and she was such a pleasant person to be around. Wishes go out to the King Family once again so soon after the loss of Mother, Coretta Scott King. The light of the world flickers silently without wonderful people like Yolanda, Mother Coretta and Father Martin.

The always surprising to see, Isabella Blow passed away last week from what is believed to have been ovarian cancer. I am sure not only her fans but some of our recent talent will surely miss her. Isabella help launch careers of several top models and designers. Like Anna Piaggi, Isabella always stopped traffic, to say the least. It was mostly because of those lovely Phillip Tracy hats that adorned her lovely head. She leaves a husband, Detmar Blow who shared the news with the press about the loss of his wife. Isabella Blow was supposedly disinherited by her family, years ago prior to heading to New York. In the early 80’s she attended university, temporarily, whilts embarking on her editorial career working under the watchful eye of Anna Wintour of Vogue. The fashion industry, no doubt, will miss her very much.

NEWS FLASH: Heard about Alexis Arquette’s need to be a Woman…fa Real!
Here’s a little bio:
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Los Angeles, California, USA
Birthday: 1-1-1969
Birth Name: Alex or Robert Arquette
He is a member of the famous Arquette family. He is the brother of Richmond Arquette, David Arquette, Patricia Arquette and Rosanna Arquette. His father is Lewis Arquette and his grandfather is Cliff Arquette.
Alexis worked with Jason Gould, the son of Barbra Streisand and Elliot Gould. Alexis who was born Alex is a transgendered actress (uh uh), underground cartoonist, drag-on queen and a musician. Why does the press act as if this is NEWS. Ms. Thang has been on the red carpet in drags more than Helen Degeneres. Maybe the press needs a hobby. Like tell me this. This thing with Alec Baldwin…! When did someone yelling at their kid become public property. Whether you agree or not. Doesn’t matter!!! It ain’t nobody’s business what any parent says to their child. Unfortunately so many celebraties find out too late. The real-price of Fame. No Privacy. No Respect and No Sanctity.

…oh! and did I mention Model. I mean Super-Model, Modele, …Top MODELe, MO-Del, MODELLA!
Yes! She is pretty. Yes! She is a Model and Talk Show Host. But? Can you please STOP trying to remind us Tyra. Don’t get me wrong. Tyra is a Gorgeous woman. No doubt she’s aware of that. But. We need to have you move on Tyra onto another more fascinating subject. If only Tyra and so many other celebrities could come across a bit more themselves. It would be so refreshing. Tyra tries to be approachable. But is she really? I WONDER. Although, like Oprah these African-American successful women seem to fall into their Black stance when confronted about ethnic subjects or issues. You know. The old “…alright Gurl”, and “…that’s right honey” thang. But it still looks pretentious. Or worse yet. Theatrical! And by the way. Is Tyra’s hair getting straighter, blonder and more Swedish? Kinda startin’ to look a little weird.

The well known voice of so many Films & Commercials, passed away on April 11, 2007 of Cancer, at Cedar-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. The incredibly gifted Mr. Browne was a sort of a Renaissance man of our times. Besides being a brilliant actor. Mr. Browne was a Master of Languages and taught at University for several years. He was also a track star, winning the 880-yard run in the 1952 Millrose Games. Roscoe Lee Browne also wrote poetry and included some of it along with works by masters such as Lawrence Ferlinghetti and William Butler Yeats in “Behind the Broken Words,” a poetry anthology stage piece that he and Anthony Zerbe performed annually for three decades. A real talent and a great voice of art & artist. Roscoe Lee Browne was 81 years old.

After viewing a program this morning (4/29/2007 CBS Sunday Morning) with and about “Dr. Renee Richards“, the controversial Sex-Change Tennis player who made headlines in the 70s. I wondered once again. When are folks just gonna get over it? Is society ever going to make it ok to be who you ARE. Dr. Richards says that she believes, that even after her death, she will always be remembered as “the Transsexual Tennis Player“. I think she’s absolutely right about that, I am afraid to say. How powerful a legacy is that? And. How truely shallow of society to do that. Here we have a brilliant physician/surgeon, educator, writer and terrific athlete. Yet. She is still treated as the Guy who decided one day to be a Girl instead! Ms. Richards does not consider herself any sort of a pioneer or crusader. But. Somehow society has managed or decided for her, what her LEGACY shall be. What nerves we have…!
