It seems a very good time to tell you about the latest publication of White Trash Uncut by Christopher Makos as I just had 22 staples removed due to my latest surgery and have felt all pinned together! 

Containing  images from the Super-Punk Rock days; these rockers broke outside the box and were some of the first to garner attention for their music through their look, their total package.

The book is definitely raw, beautifully real, and includes images from a group of movers and shakers that included artist Andy Warhol,  John Paul Getty III, Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop, Fashion Designer Zandra Rhodes, Devine, and more.

Debbie Harry described Makos as the first to burst on the photography scene and make a name for himself by recording the convergence both  the "Uptown" and "Downtown" worlds.

House Proud by Valorie Hart: Unique Home Design in Louisiana

Introducing  House Proud a book that celebrates homes and life in New Orleans and the surrounding areas in Louisiana. When I think of a particular region in the United States or the world, for that matter. A certain style of architecture pops into my mind. 

Now we know that every city has a variety of architectural examples, from Colonial to Contemporary; however New Orleans architecture is infused with "that certain  brand of hospitality and history not to be seen in other cities.

Author and Designer Valorie Hart. She is known as The Visual Vamp, the title of her very popular blog. 

Valorie has an innate sense for bringing together High and Low; melding them seamlessly and adding in all of the most important layers of a clients cherished collections into what is a most unique and interesting home....a start to many conversations at any gathering.
