Marilyn Monroe Lookalike and Impersonator Arianna unwinding in the Jacuzzi after a long day on Hollywood Boulevard...
The "Hotel Del" is the Hotel del Coronado on Coronado Island. Maybe you saw it in "Some Like It Hot," the Billy Wilder comedy with Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, and Tony Curtis. (For the movie's purposes, the hotel is supposed to be in Florida.) It faces Coronado Beach -- the part of it known locally as Central Beach -- and the Pacific Ocean.

We were in Spokane on the week end of the annual Pride Parade. So here come a lot of parade shots.
A parade could/should have some colourful marchers.

This incredibly beautiful fantail yacht has been on my wishlist for years, I have even acted as go-between for her prospective sale. Portola's owner has kept her beautifully maintained, and she is always a must-check-on whenever I drive down to nearby Alamitos Bay. Though I've been aboard (invited) a few times, I've yet to be 'asea'.
Portola has the distinction of being used in film-making, her most famous role being in Billy Wilder's Marilyn Monroe sizzler "Some Like It Hot" (1959)... along with a couple of guys..., Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis :)

unshine-y Wednesday greetings, my collector friends, and an open-armed welcome to the newcomers among you, of which there are many. This might have something to do with our "striking, affordable artwork" being featured in the July issue of Martha Stewart Living, or perhaps you're here on the advice of Martha's crafts department? Or... maybe Jeff sent you? Jeff Hamada, that is — he being the energetic impresario behind the ever-inspiring Booooooom. (More on that later!) However you made your way here, I'm happy that you've joined us and look forward to sharing lots of amazing art with you in newsletters to come. Let's get started, shall we?
Talented Bay Area painter Sarah Spitler is making her 20x200 debut with today's fine art print, No One Can Live Outside of History. This piece has inspired an odd narrative that totally makes sense to me, and I've got my fingers crossed that Sarah will be pleased and flattered with the tale it tells.
It’s going to seem completely off-the-wall, but in its many layers and techniques I see unruly nature intermingled with tightly-controlled forms that are caught in the space between both graphic design and photography.
In this painting, Sarah's captured a moment in a very funny scene. I see the looseness of the background shades — the smoky blues and greens — as being the plates of the earth shifting, forming continents and roiling the ocean. It's a messy chaotic process, all in all. Then along comes the spirit of Ryan McGinness — seriously, stick with me here — attempting to bring order to the chaos.
The spirit of Ryan is all about order and consistency. It brings both precision and playfulness, adding a layer comprised of human-engineered forms over the messy organic process of nature's progress. The reason I see it as a photo is because the moment captured is an unresolved one, in the best possible way. Everything's still in motion; it's not clear who's winning and you're not even sure who to root for. There's the beautiful mess of splatters and drips, but they're so close to escaping, seemingly untameable. The steady hues and clean lines of the McGinness-like moments offer up the control, comfort and certainty.
I know it's wacky, but hopefully it makes a little sense. And if it doesn't, well that's cool too. You can make your own meaning, and I encourage you to do just that! Once you've got the story Sarah's painting all sorted out, I'll bet you'll be hungry for more inspiration. When that happens, you can do what scads of savvy surfers do and head on over to Booooooom. I'm generally proud of my appetite for imagery, but I have to say Jeff's curation on Booooooom gives me a bit of a complex. He finds so much great stuff, and shares it with unflagging enthusiasm.
We've been keeping an eye on his offerings for a while now, and just recently the eagle-eyed Ms. Distin noticed that he'd featured Sarah's work as well. With many new fans of her work tuning into his site, Jeff announced a give-away last week. I'm happy to announce its two lucky winners here today. Big congrats to readers Haley and Suzan, both of whom will be receiving 11" x 14" prints of No One Can Live Outside History!
With my tales told and prints en route to the lucky winners, my newsletter work for the week is done. I'm going to turn my attention to other things, like picking out a party dress and putting on some dancing shoes!
Tomorrow night Aperture is hosting their first-ever summer benefit, Some Like it Hot — flush with festivities, cocktails and art for all. I've been all about Aperture lately, thrilled to support their excellent programming with our recently-released editions from Penelope Umbrico. Her cyber-celestial works are stunning side-by-side, if I do say so myself.
I'll be attending the party with the talented and charming, Gregory Krum, perennial star on 20x200 and Summer 2007 Hot Shot. Krum was selected as a Hot Shot with the help of HHS! panelist, Aperture's book publisher, Ms. Lesley Martin.
I encourage local collectors to join us, and not just for cocktails and conversation. If you spring for the $150 ticket you'll leave with a limited-edition print from Thomas Allen in hand. Allen, one of several super book-smart artists whose work we'll be exhibiting at the JB Gallery's upcoming Summer Reading exhibition, is a wonderful and highly collectible photographer. So spend some smart money on a good cause and meet us there!

The 1959 American comedy film "Some Like It Hot", directed by Billy Wilder and starring Marilyn Monroe - Tony Curtis - Jack Lemmon and many other great stars was filmed aboard Portola.
I've watched her for years, been aboard, inside, even acted as a go-between for a prospective buyer (who contacted me after seeing my photos of her online). She is beautifully cared for. She is berthed in Long Beach's Alamitos Bay; this was taken between Catalina Island and the mainland of California.

In the 1959 film ‘Some like it Hot’, Tony Curtis tries to woo Marilyn Monroe’s character Sugar Kane by pretending to be the heir to the Shell Oil fortune.
In 1927 the Upton estate had been acquired by the real-life heir, Walter Samuel, 2nd Viscount Bearsted, then the Chairman of Shell who owed his fortune to the fact that his father Marcus Samuel was the founder of the company. Though the 30’s he and his wife transformed Upton House into a beloved country home, filling it with art collections and completely remodelling the gardens.
By the end of his life the world had changed immensely. Lord Bearsted wanted the collections and gardens he and Lady Bearsted lovingly created to be kept together for future generations to ‘love, appreciate and respect’, so in 1948 gave them and Upton House to the National Trust for the enjoyment of the public.
Perhaps uniquely among country houses owned by the National Trust, its significance lies principally in its art collection. The house is presented more as an art gallery than as a private home, although care has been taken to restore the house to how it looked in the 1930s. It contains a unique Art Deco bathroom and a collection of early Shell advertising posters, together with some of their original artwork, by such artists as Rex Whistler.
The collection was assembled by Lord Bearsted, helped by his being a Trustee of the National Gallery. Lord Bearsted's sister Nellie Inonides also became an avid collector. The collection at Upton includes English and Continental old masters: Tiepolo, Anthony Devis, Francesco Guardi, Jan Steen, Melchior d'Hondecoeter, Thomas Gainsborough, Joshua Reynolds, Tintoretto and Rogier van der Weyden.
