Watch It Happen.

One of my favorite Youtube genres is that of the video filmed photo shoot. There is something so strangely intriguing about watching still images get made. The video below is of Karl Lagerfeld shooting Lara Stone and a male model and a bunch of Chanel gear in a dressing room. Some of the shoot is so awkward to watch, while other moments of it show Karl's visual genius.



Modeling is a kind of acting for flashbulbs, it's interesting to see what gets mimed, what gets barley done, kind of like watching someone speak sign language. Movements and poses are gestural and heightened. It's all very theater of the absurd. Enjoy.

Frog Shooting

I just found this video of Kermit the Frog's model moment in front of Terry Richardson's lens for a Supreme ad photoshoot.

I hope Kermie kept his pants on. We all know how a Richardson shoot can get. Does Kermit even wear pants? Well, whatever he has on, I hope he kept it on.

Because you can't have one without the other, here's Kermie's lusty lover Miss Piggy in one of my favorite makeup counter movie scenes of all time. Joan Rivers gives the golden-locked pig a touch-up. Well, it's more like a smack-up.

She actually does smack her while applying blush. Oh, dear.
