For 17 years, photography icons,  Markus Klinko and Indrani have been partnering together to shoot just about every celebrity you can think of.

And now, for the first time in their 17-year career, they have brought together more than 150 of their quirky and dreamlike photos in a new book which they’ve titled Icons: The Celebrity Exposures of Markus and Indrani.

Some of the standout images include a sizzling portrait of Beyonce from the cover of her solo album Dangerously in Love, singer Lady Gaga in a colourful soft-toy dress, and a smouldering Katie Holmes.

Fern Mallis, the founder of New York Fashion Week, who wrote one of the forewords for the book, told the Huffington Post: ‘The transformation of the celebrities or models that they shoot is staggering.

Sightings: The Real Housewives of Atlanta Play Dress Up

28 Sep

I saw this The Real Housewives of Atlanta Costume Gala, and since its the only Real Housewives franchise show I enjoy watching, I thought to share:

On Sunday, Sept. 23, Kenya Moore former Miss USA and new addition to “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” Kenya Moore hosted a Costume Gala at Callanwalde Estates in Atlanta.

The Costume Gala themed ‘Forever Relevant’  was organised by her to pay homage to iconic black women who paved the way in film. View photos of the House Wives dressed as their favourite film  icon.

The Costume Gala was filmed, so expect to see it as part of the show in season 5.

Missing from the action was Kim Zolciak, who will still appear on Season 5 of the Bravo show.
