Gary Baseman, Wild Girls, Holly Andres - and "The Door Is Always Open."

Image
Gary Baseman and Holly Andres collaborated on a shoot in his parents, tomb-like, apartment off La Brea and 6th street on what was, no doubt, the hottest day of the summer. The vines are so bizarre to look at today, first of all they're only a few years old but my girls have changed so much since then.  I love Andres's work so very much.   Honor the girls worked with her. Here's some of Gary's (a self-described "Pervasive artist.) vines from his feed:  He wrote, "WildGirls is going to be a dark yet beautiful journey. I am collaborating with Holly Anders in my parents home." Kuddos to Los Angeles Photographer Carolyn Hampton for calling us in as a stand in for her own "Red Head"away at camp during this particular shoot.

The day "Everything Changed." CBS news. Louise Larsen. Parents Of Kids With A Severe Peanut Allergy, and daughter, Juliet Larsen

Image
The year, 1998.    My daughter is one year's old.    I'm a first time mom of 37 with a bad case of laryngitis on the day of this segment. I was still reeling from having nearly lost my child to a danger I never realized existed until my child walked into the kitchen, pointed to her mouth, her eyes rolled back in her head, she fell to the floor and stopped breathing. This video is about the day (one of them) everything changed.

Great article by Christine Peddle in Allergic Living Magazine  which is always full of amazing information and entirely up-to-date info regarding auto-immune issues and allergies. And this edition has an article featuring someone very dear to my heart:  My eldest daughter, Juliet Larsen, who, in spite of life-threatening food allergies has found the courage to pursue a professional modeling career since the age of 14. NOTE: Juliet Larsen to address Teens at FARE Conference this Sunday, Long Beach, CA.  She will discuss how she felt growing up with this particular food allergy and how she did not let her fears of anaphylaxis stand in the way of following her dreams regarding participating in sports, theater events or even a professional modeling career.   **This Sunday, Long Beach, California at the 2015 annual  F.AR.E. Conference.
