Born Yvette Marie Stevens in Illinois, I only saw her perform once.? Like so many other hollywood personalities, they go downhill quite quickly once they become famous.? It was in 2005 that she came to perform at Sunset Junction, a street event here in los angeles.? Well being a photographer, I wanted to get some pictures of her.? However, this mean bodyguard came out before she was to sing, and he said if he caught anyone with large-lens cameras (pro in other words) that he would break the camera.? I was like, that is wrong!? So, of course I was able to get a few photos despite the threats since if you know me, I am determined once I put my mind to a task.? And as you can see, poor Yvette looked like holy crap due to being fat and drugged out.? Hence that is why they did not want photos taken of her.? I feel sorry for her.? Poor beotch.? Nevertheless, I said to my friend Ken Knox who writes for a local magazine and quoted me at the time:? “If you do not wish to have your photo taken because you look like hell, do not go onto a stage in the middle of the street and perform, dumb ass!”

Ha Ha Starbucks

Read this article.? I always say what goes around comes around.? I have been going to various starbucks coffee houses all over the usa for years.? And mysteriously, they all keep their thermostats at 60 degrees or less and have these door fans to keep the climate well controlled.? So, why should I pay for t-mobile hotspot there?? Well I do it because its the only wifi with T1 at all locations.? But should I have to be refrigerated in order to do my computer work?? I think not.? I sent several notices to their corporate headquarters that went unanswered.? Big surprise.? I think people are realizing this corporate directive and hopefully are complaining as much as I am.

Incredible Image

Dear spiritual goddess, if this image does not shock the hell out of you like it did me, you need some pills for compassion of humanity. If any image conveys the message, “War is hell and wrong”, this is the image. Excellent capture Rick Loomis of the Los Angeles Times photo staff.? War is bad…mmmmkay!
