Carmen Electra (1972) is an American glamour model and actress, who began her career as a singer. Prince produced her debut record. She later appeared on the television series Baywatch (1997-1998). She made her film debut in the horror comedy American Vampire (1997), and has had roles in multiple parody films. Electra featured several times as a model in Playboy magazine.
Carmen Electra was born Tara Leigh Patrick in 1972 in Sharonville, Ohio, near Cincinnati. Her parents were Harry Patrick, a guitarist and entertainer, and his wife Patricia, a singer. Electra attended Ann Weigel Elementary School and studied dance at Dance Artists studio in Western Hills until age nine, when she enrolled in the School for Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA), Cincinnati. Electra graduated from Princeton High School in Sharonville in 1990, having transferred there from SCPA two years prior. Additionally, Electra attended and graduated from Barbizon Modeling and Acting School in Cincinnati. Electra started her professional career in 1990 as a dancer at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, in the show It's Magic, one of the more popular shows in the park's history. In 1991, she got her first boost when a scout for Prince spotted the 18-years-old Electra fronting for a rap group in Los Angeles. Soon after, she signed a recording contract with Prince's Paisley Park Records. She had moderate success with a single named Go-Go Dancer and released a self-titled album for Prince's Paisley Park label in 1993. She also toured Europe as Prince's opening act on his 1992 Diamonds and Pearls Tour. Carmen returned to work for Prince at his Los Angeles nightclub Glam Slam. She performed there every weekend with the Erotic City dancers, led by choreographer and director Jamie King. During her time at Paisley Park Records, she officially became known as Carmen Electra. In 1995, after her short-lived singing career, Electra started appearing in television shows. In May 1996, she was featured in a nude pictorial in Playboy magazine, the first of several. This exposure led to higher profile television appearances, including as the host of MTV's dating game show Singled out (1997) and the role of lifeguard Lani McKenzie in Baywatch (1997–1998). Baywatch was a popular action series about the Los Angeles County lifeguards who patrol the beaches of Los Angeles County. In 2003, she returned to Baywatch for the reunion feature, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding (Jeremy Garelick, 2003) which was a box office hit. Carmen Electra was featured in Playboy four more times: June 1997, December 2000, April 2003, and the January 2009 anniversary issue. She was on the cover of the last three of these issues. In 1997, Electra made her film debut in the horror comedy American Vampire (Luis Esteban, 1997) with Adam West. Its plot follows a young male teenager (Trevor Lissauer) who encounters a sexy female vampire (Electra) while his parents vacation in Europe. The film has attained cult-like status with its tongue in cheek humour and its many references to the Beach Party films of Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. That year, she also appeared in the comedy Good Burger (Brian Robbins, 1997). In 1999, she appeared in the Bloodhound Gang's music video of The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope, and the mockumentary The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human (Jeff Abugov, 1999) with David Hyde Pierce and Lucy Liu.
In de new Millennium, Carmen Electra's film career got a boost with the horror comedy Scary Movie (Keenen Ivory Wayans, 2000), a parody of the horror, slasher, and mystery film genres. Despite a mixed critical reception, the film received positive reviews from audiences and was a box office success, grossing $278 million worldwide on a $19 million budget. It was followed by four sequels. In 2004, Electra appeared in the remake of the 1970s TV show Starsky & Hutch (Todd Phillips, 2004), with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, for which she won an MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss. Subsequently she played supporting parts in such films as Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (Adam Shankman, 2005) with Steve Martin, Scary Movie 4 (David Zucker, 2006), and the box office success Date Movie (Aaron Seltzer 2006) with Alyson Hannigan. Electra won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress for her combined performances in Date Movie and Scary Movie 4. Other films include Epic Movie (Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer, 2007), Meet the Spartans (Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer, 2008) and Disaster Movie (Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer, 2008) with Kim Kardashian in her film debut. Although some see these films among of the worst films ever, most of them did well at the box office. Meet the Spartans and Disaster Movie received in 2009 five nominations for the 29th Golden Raspberry Awards: Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel, and Worst Supporting Actress (Electra). Disaster Movie won a sixth for Kardashian. Electra also appeared in commercials for Maxim Men's Hair Color products (2004–2005), and Ritz Camera Centers (2006). She is featured in some video spoofs of lonelygirl15 that advertised Epic Movie. That same year she appeared as the face and spokesperson for Max Factor cosmetics in their television and print ads. In late 2006, Electra was featured in commercials by Taco Bell. In 2007, Electra became a published author with the release of her book, How to Be Sexy. Electra appeared as a guest judge on So You Think You Can Dance Season in 2011 and Britain's Got Talent in 2012. Carmen Electra was married to NBA star Dennis Rodman. She and Rodman wed in November 1998 at Little Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas, Nevada, but nine days later, Rodman filed for annulment, claiming he was of "unsound mind" when the pair wed. The couple reconciled and celebrated New Year's Eve together, but they mutually agreed to end their marriage in April 1999 under "amicable circumstances." In 2003, Electra married Dave Navarro, lead guitarist for the rock band Jane's Addiction. The couple documented their courtship and marriage in an MTV reality television show called 'Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen and Dave. In 2006, she and Navarro announced their separation, and the divorce was finalised in 2007. In 2012, she appeared as one of the celebrity bachelorettes on the TV dating show The Choice.

Auburn University Commencement May 14, 2010
It's been two weeks since my latest encounter with a stranger.
Today I was lucky to run into another lovely stranger, Nina 26y/o, and her 11 months old dog, Mökö.
They were walking around my favourite bay in town in my opposite direction.
I approached her from a short distance by asking in Finnish what was the matter with her dog.
She detected instantly my accent, haha, and answered in English.
Nina wanted to hear a bit more about my photo project-- obviously it hasn't been too flowing lately due to that nasty Corona virus-- I briefed her and she agreed to participate.
Nina has graduated a couple of years ago and is working for the time being in an IT company.
We talked about the situation in the USA, mainly racism, and when I asked her for a message Nina said:
"Believe in the good in people!"
I sure want to believe and to hope that racism will be uprooted once and for all and that the black people in America will have justice.
"A riot is the language of the unheard", Dr Martin Luther King said in 1966. More than five decades have passed since and still America has failed to heard them.

Nina's advice to her younger self: " Be proud of yourself!"
In her free time she likes to practice yoga and sports.
Needless to say that Mökö is her biggest hobby :-)

Ever since another photographer showed me his picture of Cathedral Lake (which got a 2 page feature on Backpacker Magazine), this place has been on my list. Since we are in the area, and the Tioga Pass is still open, we decided to spend a day hiking there.
The first mile was brutal, but the trail soon leveled out. We passed the still burning Cathedral fire before finally reaching the lake. The next hour was spent scrambling up and down the rock face, trying to find a good vantage point. Finally, we settled on a spot just as the sun was setting. The wind calmed down just before the sun set, giving me a mirror surface. Cathedral lake is truly as beautiful as the picture I saw, well worth the 4-mile hike.

So proud of my kid. He graduated from high school Sunday at the age of 16 and second in his class; headed off to University of New Mexico in the Fall, accepted into the honor's college. Way to go kid.
Walking home from work recently I was strolling down Chambers Street, past the National Museum of Scotland, when I saw groups of young folk in robes being lead along towards the stairs, others already on there posing for photos while their families watched on.
Round the corner from here is McEwan Hall, a Victorian rotunda, recently refurbished, part of Edinburgh University and many graduation ceremonies are held there (my own was in there, a lifetime ago), looks like they then all came round to this spot to pose for their photos, so of course I had to take a few snaps as I passed. All so young, just graduated and starting out on it all, makes me jealous!
The Princeton Graduate College, completed in 1913, houses approximately 430 graduate students and serves as the center of graduate student life at Princeton. 173 foot tall gothic structure that you see in front of you is the Cleveland tower designed by the famous American architect Ralph Adams Cram. One of the main controversies that to this day is popular & heavily discussed among the grads in Princeton is the decision regarding where to place the graduate college: in the heart of the main campus or on the far-off side? The then Dean West, implacable in promoting his idealized vision of an academic citadel in fabulous Gothic isolation, supported the later and hence anyone who drives inside will find this place slightly off-campus. This can be singled out as The reason for a diminished non-academic interaction between the Princeton grads and the undergrads. The reason why the Gothic style was chosen in the very own words of the architech: "It seems to me imperative...that the Graduate College should be in a place where it is insistently before the eyes of the undergraduates." The bellfry of the tower hosts a carillon which was presented by the Class of 1892 in 1927. Its a general tradition to play music in there every sunday.
(Regarding the photo): If there is nothing like a clear sky daylight photography, then I think the exact opposite is true for night light photography. The picture that you see is result of 15 second exposure. I stood right opposite to the motion of the clouds that gives it this ghastly effect. No post processing. It is as it was.
