Fashion and backstage

Here is the next instalment of my words of wisdom for The Chic Report...

I have been having abit of a fashion frenzy.  Last night was my friend Cynthia Rowley's show which was really great. The clothes reminded me of David Hockney paintings of people in London in the 60s like this one...I loved them, and I got some really great snaps of the models' feet.  I was sitting next to my friend GlendaBailey from Harpers bazaar and we had a lovely chat. It's really funny because, now that I am going to play Salvador Dali in a film later this year, I am finding out so much about him and also that so many people, like Glenda, have so many great stories about him. I can't wait.

I also had a lovely chat with Cynthia's kids about Justin Beiber. They are off to see his movie today, so they were full of Beiber fever.  Here I am in the front row...

Finally here is a little video I did about fashion for the New York Times T Magazine, and my latest behind the scenes of The Good Wife video.

at the amfar gala

Last night was the annual amfAR gala in NYC.  Great and rousing speeches were made by President Clinton and his daughter Chelsea, Rose O'Donnell, Elton John and Diane Von Furstenberg to name but a few.  A good time was had by all

monday leather, wednesday tweed

Is this any way for a 46 year old man to be spending a Monday evening? Apparently the answer is yes, in my case.  This is me performing a Don't Ask, Don't Tell themed version of Don't Tell Mama from Cabaret as part of the fundraiser Broadway Backwards at the Longacre Theatre.  It raised $281,243 for BC/EFA and the LGBT Center.  So hooray for that.

Tonight is the annual NYC AmFAR gala, at which President CLinton and Liz Taylor, amongst others, are being honored.  Here is a sneak peek at what I am wearing. I'm going for a tweedy dandy look. It's designed by the very nice Jay Kos...

Eli all the time

Someone has done an Eli tribute!!

cats

I am actually allergic to cats but I quite like them.  And I really like feral ones.  I think they are cats to the max. So please try and support this event.....

I did a photo shoot today with the lovely Krys Fox. Here is a snap I took when I was in one of my looks.  Move over Gaga is what I say. Krys is having an exhibition in Brooklyn starting next Thursday 10th Feb.  Check it out, cats.

Where is the ice cream?

I shot a little scene for PBS' The Electric Company and here it is.

Please chant that JFK does not stay closed much longer and I can get out of this hotel room at Heathrow....

sweet lance, sweet land

I will be in London on Sunday to singsome of Lance Horne's songs in the concert to celebrate the release of his album First Things Last. It's at the Garrick theatre right slap bang in the middle of the West End. You can buy tickets here

Also, I found this today, a little film about the making of Sweet Land, which I was in and produced several years ago. 

Warm up!!

If any young actors are reading this, I hope they will watch this video and understand once and for all the importance of a proper warm up before performing. Thank you.
