Vodka is not my thing but I am not mad at a 4 min ciroc spot featuring canvas custie and  cool crooner Matt Goss, Diddy and a slew of other  talented and good-looking folks partying it up a la Sinatra, Martina and Davis Jr. style in vegas. If what happens in vegas stayed in vegas we might of missed this spot. Cheers – Happy New year!!!

OWN Network has developed these up-close and personal looks at various people in the world and this one on Tom Ford is very interesting. We featured a trailer version of this doc on the site a while back, but this is the full monty – all 40 plus minutes of it. I must admit I was pretty ambivalent towards the guy during his Gucci days even though I did give him tremendous credit for digging Gucci out of the weeds and turning it around before it became Pierre Cardin. Tom Ford is solely responsible for bringing Gucci back to a place of prominence again. Now more than ever I find him really interesting and varied. Have a look and perhaps you will feel the same.

A tad lenghty – but if you have the time you will not be sorry. Pirelli launched its tantalizing 2012 calendar, featuring Kate Moss, Lara Stone and Milla Jovovich to name but a few, in mouthwatering nude photos. Captured by ex-model turned photographer, Mario Sorrenti wanted to place each model in direct contact with nature, creating an “extension” of their bodies in the background. Although the calendar is available for a select fortunate few, Pirelli was kind enough to release the making of the calendar in video form. Featuring brief interviews discussing the inspiration behind each shot, this video will surely be a kind substitute for the Pirelli Calendar’s limited availability.

Pacific Standard Time’s campaign to promote Southern California art utilizes the assistance of Ice cube and Anthony Kiedis. Have a look and enjoy!!!

It is not the end of the year yet, but when I came across these images it did give me a moment of pause as I reflected on a few comments that rang in my head as I looked upon these images – a friend said “the internet has changed the world and created the ability for people to create social movements much easier”, a friend said “as the divide widens people will rise up and say enough is enough, a friend said, ”I was so looking forward to her new album”, a friend said “I cannot believe it has been 10 years since 911″, a friend said”what the f*** is going on in the world right now”, a friend said “it is good to be alive”. 2011 has been a year of challenge – politically, socially, economically and environmentally. A picture is worth a 1000 words and a memory can be fleeting or everlasting – Click through to see the other images.
